Bored with the Game?
« on: October 15, 2010, 08:43:18 AM »
Are you finding yourself bored with the game now?  Can't sneak bases?  Can't find challenging fights?

Take it upon yourself to make it fresh.  Fly a different plane.  Fly a different arena.  Try the AvA.  Try FSO.  Try a Snapshot.  Do something different to get out of your comfort zone.

Flame on...or discuss with civility.

Great post!

I have off days (almost everyday) and it disappoints me, but there is nothing like flying around in a P40B. There is so much to do in this game that when you get tired of one aspect, you can move on towards another.

Are you finding yourself bored with the game now?  Frustrated

Can't sneak bases? No, but that doesn't matter to me personally

Can't find challenging fights? I can't find the battles at my time anymore.

Take it upon yourself to make it fresh.  Fly a different plane. I do that every tour. Usually I get kills in 40-50 different rides.

Fly a different arena. been there, done that. EW and WWI are absolutely empty. MW has very few guys trying to sneak bases. DA is boring to me

Try the AvA. I better do not comment  :lol

Try FSO.  Too late, too rigid

Try a Snapshot I gave up to participate in organized events.

Do something different to get out of your comfort zone. I do. I fly at 4am. I wouldn't call that "comfort zone" ;)

i didn't fly axis at all. maybe i should've, for a littrle ego boost, as they seemed to turn much better than the allied stuff.

 i did like the challenge though, of making the sopwith do what the other guys didn't think it could do.........

Eh, I decided to just take a quick break, myself.  I'll be back in a couple months, refreshed and enjoying it once again I'm sure.   :aok

I never get bored. 

Step 1-If there are red guys, then kill them wherever they are. 
Step 2-If there are no red guys, then break and take their stuff until red guys show up.
Step 3-Go back to Step 1.

You are right on trying new things Dot.  I have participated in (and drug squaddies with me) in the SDL, AVA Challenges, Baldeagle's Dueling Bracket, Heavy Metal Events, and I am thinking about trying out the Racing league.  Variety is the spice of life!

Yo Snailman.... I've actually had this thought percolating in what passes for a brain for a while.  I see a lot of European folks frustrated with arena caps.  If they made a habit of spilling over to the AVA when they can't get into an arena it makes a fairly nice alternative in my opinion. 

I have to be honest.  I didn't think the WWI bit was going to do well but there were solid numbers in every time I logged in from 5:00 PM CST to (latest) 8:30 PM CST.  Now I'm looking forward to the next time we have an WWI set up because I FINALLY got my Camel turning well last night. 

It really only takes a hand full of folks giving it a solid try for a week or so to get the ball rolling. 

Just a random thought for you folks to consider.

gotcha, yesterday at 945pm EST there were about 6 people in there. at 1015pm EST there were about 18. at 1130pm EST when i left last night, there were 13people still in there. i agree, it is spotty in there though.

question#1.--and no we still have NO ENEMY icons. we seem to get more and more people because of this.

Too bad this will never work because

- If nobody is there, nobody goes there
- Players frustrated with caps at euro prime & US daytime are looking for the "massive" in MMO  - else they would simply join the 40 players LWB. So why should they go into empty AvA? ;)
- Many (most?) players do not like the AvA setup. AvA is a good altenative for those looking for something different than the MA. That's why it's a bad alternative for those actually looking for MA style gameplay. If you look for something different than MA, it's the place to go.
