NEW CAPTURE SYSTEM IS BULLCRAP!!!

[Bubbajj]

Seriously? One guy takes an airfield by himself. No one wants to fight, just knock out a few buildings, ack and run M3s in. If something isn't done to adjust this I'm done. Worst thing to happen to this game in a long time.

Lol.

Solved problem of needing a giant horde to take a base.  As the release notes said, they're going to tweak it.

O' ye of little patience. HiTech ain't done yet.


Wait.

Look through some of the other threads on this issue. I think Hitech him self said this is a trial period & will adjust if needed on amount of town that needs to be down. Also one man base captures are not just a recent thing it was the norm for a very long time.

In the old version, I had numerious Solo Base Takes...But I cant see how the new towns can be captured by 1 man.

I rolled the M4(75)   (or which ever one has 97 HE rounds) to a town one night just messing around.  Killed all the ack and knocked down enough to get a white flag.  I towered and grabbed an M3, got to center of town and was about to release when all of a sudden a 190 is above me. 

I think it definitely needs tweaking.  To me it just seems too "easy mode."  One guy can sneak a base no problem if no one is watching the map for flashing bases.

I agree it is too easy, needs to be bumped up to 70%ish.  70/80/90 based on airfield size would be ideal.  Make it so HiTech.  

I think even Dogfite would agree this would be fair and fun.

I was thinking the same (make it 75% instead of the current setup).  I also think that the White Flag should be gone, but I realize that with the combination of the buildings being spread out and only a certain percentage of which has to be down the flag is necessary.

I'll just say....


The first day I logged on (Tuesday I think it was) after this was implemented I saw more bases taken (on all sides) in the text buffer in 1.5 hours than I have in the past 2 YEARS....

So maybe it's too easy. That doesn't negate the fact that this is an IMPROVEMENT over the stalemates that have reigned in the arenas for so long. I haven't seen a map reset in lord knows how long, but now we'll have a real opportunity for that.

So, maybe bump it up to 60%, 70%, maybe 75%... Anything generating this much attack action, defense, action, and general action, it a good thing. I know base taking is not the only thing that goes on in here, but you have to admit it's one of the best ways to find a good fight!

What is the complaint, that someone took a base? or nobody cared about someone taking the base?

Or perhaps did nobody care about the base you cared about? If it was 1 man sneak, why didn't you stop him?

If the crew at HTC flew off the handle like this,

A) I'd be banned from these boards.

B) Skuzzy would be in an institution for the criminally insane.

C) It's possible that we wouldn't be playing this "game" at all.

Relax, and re-load.

Easy now... take some deep cleansing breaths... It's going to be OK.

The system will get tweaked like most new things it's going to take a little time to get dialed in.

This was in the last version's release notes.

Added the a new host system variable that controls how much of the town needs to be destroyed before it can be captured. There is a flag flying in each town that will be swapped out for a white surrender flag when the damage threshold is reached. At that point troops can be used to make the capture. The initial setting will be at 50% and we'll adjust it from there if needed.
