Some time the changes are worst that the imbalance to some, but we all know we as a community can't keep the game fair and fun for all.
While it is true that HTC can't please all of the people all of the time, the ideal is to make the game fair and fun for as many people as possible.  Base takers should have the right to pursue happiness.  The town changes, in my opinion, are enough to slow down base takes without super low dar.

You don't like, don't read it. 
How would one know whether or not they like it if they don't read it?

NOEs are killing this game???  A bit of an over statement, don't ya think??

I find it absolutley hysterical that guys are trying to make it seem like NOEs were happening incessently all over the maps every day 24/7. We ALL know that is nowhere near the truth


And of course you always hear the "avoiding fights" comments, which imho are the most hypocritical statements I've ever seen on these boards.



Should of logged on the weekend prior to the first radar changes.  Was literaly a "wack a mole" night. Was getting beyond ridiculous weeks before. I understand your squad advocates chesspiece loyalty, but before you start jumping on the bandwagon on how your fun was taken away from you, try seing the results of your actions. Switch sides and see what the recieving end goes through.
I understand ALL countries horde or NOE smash grab, but honestly it gets agrevating when 50 guys are off sneaking the map while another part is getting smashed.

Personally, i couldn't care less if "50" guys are off somewhere "sneaking" the map.

If some guys are trying to "sneak" a couple base 20 sectors from the action, how does that affect gameplay? Defend it or quit whining about it.

I've seen the "whack a mole" nights of which you speak, it happens every now and then, the sky isn't falling.

And what does my squads "chess piece loyalty" have to do with anything?


And finally---what exactly are the results of my "actions"

The stupidity


The stupidity of a post like this thread .

The OP makes a valid point shared by 100s of players over the past months.Now  looks like he is here for 2nd time in 2 years and you call his post "stupid"? 
You know what Mrs "BB Queen" ; you are very  brave on BB just a  timid # in MA, and  your typical long ,dry,hysterical, boring post #5961 proves nothing more than rude arrogance and a boring life wasted on BB.

I agree 150%, but perhaps that is what is intended? HTC hasn't taken away the ability to capture a town, they have just made it a bit more difficult and time consuming. Yes this can take the "fun" away from those players that want nothing to do with combat, but want to just take bases. If that was the only "fun" that was keeping those people here, they are missing out on a whole lot of game.

Not real sure what this whack a mole is, but as long as it doesn't require me climbing to 15k to chase guys that are avoiding fights,while ducking guys that are diving down from 20k, I'm in!! :cheers:

NOE's were running rampant (and still are at times, just log on when orange has an "island" map. You can try to follow the "Jokers" around that map as they NOE first one side and then the other of the map.) and HTC lowered the radar to 65 feet.

I have no idea what you are going on about, but, the squad has changed a lot over time.  We rarely run missions anymore and just about never NOE.  No NOE's since long before the summer change to 65 feet.  One of the more regular country mission runners got upset with a few in the squad recently when he called NOE and they basically said "screw that", and climbed in.

An occasional mission yes, 1 or 2 every couple of weeks, maybe ... the focus has changed as people evolve.

Mission running in general is a lot less frequent recently on the Bish side of the map at least.  No shortage of calls for them of course ... but a lot less actually being run.

There are just plain too many factors now in a base capture to interest the casual mission joiner to participate.  Mission planner usage is probably at its lowest.  Chances of completing a capture using the mission planner is probably lower.  These are just a few side effects of the slope of changes that were pointed towards "E Z mode" base defense. 

E Z mode base defense:
  • 10 min ticker.  After all ack and town buildings are confirmed down, I estimate about 10 mins left to pour 10 troops into the maproom before something pops up
  • Airfield and Vehicle base hangars have been either increased or positioned to take more passes to disable local defense
  • Disabled hangars repair in 1/3 of the time that it takes for town to be completely leveled
  • Increased radar sensitivity, alerts defenders earlier, allowing time for reinforcements from nearby bases
  • Inability for ground units to confirm town status 100% down wastes troops and valuable 10 min ticker time
  • Greater number of town objects to be destroyed, requiring a larger and longer lasting force
  • Decreased contrast between destroyed town buildings and intact structures

Because there is no point....any true base take needs to be a form of a horde...there is no "sneakiness" left....there is no point to an noe imho....you still need overwhelming force to kill the monster town and try to hold off any uppers...much better to send a bunch of b-17s and close the base down and then kill the town...
