new arena layout?
« on: November 01, 2010, 12:31:13 PM »
change the LW arena's

one for furballing - no envy free for all no cap
one for base takers - envy imposed no cap


reason being is when you have people furballing and trying to defend bases or take bases at the same time it doesn't work, having multiple people each on there own page isn't a country working together. this allows the country to be able to work as one.

in the all furballing arena no reason to defend any bases, so its a basic free for all.

If everyone if furballing and you want to take a base just go to a different one  :aok

You already have 50% of this with the DA.

DA doesn't count towards your stats

after thinking maybe more just one arena strictly for base takers and the other the same as normal.

Hmmm...

Furballing over or near a base - doesn't that tie up enemy fighters for your base-taking pleasure?

you will still have to defend as with any map but the common goal of the arena is to reset the map. if your in a base taker arena your helping your country take and defend not going off and doing your own thing. that what the other arena would be for.

What would stop someone from doing what ever they want in the base taking arena?

When was the last time a map was re-set?

Is it even possible anymore?

Apart from my earlier reply, this wish seems to be yet another "It used to be easy to take bases, but it's too hard now so change the game for me" kind of thread.

You could have took the undefended base next to 85  :)
Yes it's harder to fly NOE now but you can still do it  :aok

Just to make sure I understand you, your complaining that their were ~40 spawn campers but you did not want to go to a different base so you could take it or kill someone so the spawn campers could have their fun?


You don't have to go alone, I've taken bases with two people.

oh you can take a base with 1-2 people, but it's not gonna happen during prime time and its the base the enemy is spawning from into 85 , unless you have a good group of followers willing to go along with you, its not gonna happen.
