TOWN TOO BIG FOR AVERAGE SQUAD

[kilz]

i say put the town back to the way it was but a little bigger. kind of like stretch it out a little but same old lay out. install new buildings more guns some mannable some 5" and some auto

Personally I feel this has bolstered giant fur-balling  with no incentive for any strategy.

That is no longer part of the game and imho has turned quite a few away.  Becoming a furballer, for the most part, is the only thing that has kept me here.  Just sayin'...

Could that be part of a personal evolution too? I mean, being here for a long time I have seen many, many players going the way from "strategic" to "furball" long before the new strats & towns.

From my perspective it seems to have been done to encourage combat and get all kinds of player types into the same fight.

I assumed that's why they made the changes, among others...

Id like to see less bases but more stuff to go along with them. In the AvA they have 2 vbases seperated by a bridgehead town...that type of thing needs to be debugged and tweak so the MA could have it.

Maybe make a cnter town with suburb type villages around it that need to go down on Zone bases. I dont ave any other ideas for the smaller fields lol

Only takes 6 SAPP 38s with torpedos to kill the town. We tested it.

I don't see what the incintive is to take a map anyway. You just get a different one. Maybe after a long while one would get old. That can be fixed by simply resetting the arena with a new one each week.

Same argument can be made about furballing, what's the point of it if the bad guy can just take off again?  Well the obvious answer is that it is fun.  The base capture guys obviously find a lot of enjoyment in what they do too.  Granted, I don't personally find it to be much fun as a main source of gameplay but I certainly understand that if those guys are happy, it makes furballers/survivalists happy by creating more action in a war atmosphere.

I believe we are getting off topic here a bit
Subject is plain and simple
Town is to large for small squads
The object of being on a squad is to have the  ability to create a  strategic plan of attack
No one needs to be a on squad to fly around and just kill . If that was all I wanted I would purchase one
of those game consoles.

We play becuase we used to enjoy taking bases,ports and having the ability to catch opposite groups off guard

Now becuase of the town size and in-ability to determine it status it has put us in a bad position.
Squad members not showing up because of the frustration that is being created just playing the game now....
And I have spoken to at least 4 people who have recently left since the change.

VERY EXCELLENT ideas.

[grizz441]

HiTech, please add at least 30 minutes to the downtime of a building or reduce the size of the town.  Thx <S>

VERY EXCELLENT ideas.

I like that
Our Squad was at one time only a AVA squad. Its a shame it never got to its full potential

I started out as an NOE 110 jockey.  It is something for new guys to do while climbing the learning curve.  Even before the town change, I did less and less base taking.  It seems to be a typical evolution.

Personally, I think the new town layout is great.  Definitely more difficult, perhaps too much so for a newbie.

[Vapor]

I like the towns too. I also like the idea of blowing up a percentage of town, longer down times, or a combination. We could include having to destroy a enemy town garrison or troops too. It does seem more difficult to get a group of solo players grouped sufficiently to effectively take a base especially the larger ones. My 2 cents too.

Teh Squad I am in . The Avengers" We only flew in there. We loved the staged missions and getting together with other squads
. It was great. We left because of a certain Faction,but have since heard that has also changed.
I should talk to Luttrel (the CO) about this. If it indeed has gotten better....

trust me when i tell ya......i wouldn't be in there if it wasn't a blast. i'd be still flying with a bunch of guys i like in mw......or my squaddies in lw, or both.
 the only thing wrong with the ava, is that everyone keeps saying "i'd try it, but there's never anyone in there".....whereas if they popped in, there would indeed be some in there.
