NEW CAPTURE SYSTEM IS BULLCRAP!!!

[Saxman]

I'm pretty sure we're going to see it adjusted based on the war period. There were a LOT of complaints that the new bases were INSANELY difficult to take in EW because of the vastly increased amount of ordinance needed to drop the town (as well as the associated speculation that it pushed EW even further into being a milkrunner arena than it already was).

I'd be interested in hearing how the 50% town drop is affecting things in EW, compared to the LW rides packing gobs of cannon and ordinance.

In just this weak alone I've been caught twice up when the terrain changed and been killed three times trying to up as a base was taken out from under me. IT IS WAY WAY WAY TO SIMPLE TO TAKE BASES!!!! Oh, I'm sorry, I thought a game should involve some type of a challenge. My mistake. And all of this just in time for B-29s that carry a sweetie load more bombs. Maybe it's time to change the name of this game. It seems that AIR and COMBAT seem to be less and less involved in what's going on. The fun/irritation-boredom quotient is rapidly approaching "Why bother".

Population & activity plummeted to the ground with the new town layout in tour 126 and is currently going steep up... relatively spoken that is.

Have you read any of the replies? Hitech said he is not done changing the game, he never will be. Patience grasshopper.

What a buncha...

Daytime #'s, while often still in the single digits, have doubled. One an actually find a dogfite in there now n again.

On a side note, for the 2nd time this week, 262's, Tempy's etc have been enabled and free in MW.

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.

......and you didn't up something to prevent said "one person"?   It's your own fault whiner.

Hitech has created a opportunity for a new person or someone with out a sqaud to be able to have a impact on the war at hand. He can go into town with a gv or bomb town and have at least a chance to raise the white flag. He may or may not  capture the base but he has accomplished 1 task in the capture giving him some sort of satisfaction that he was a instrament in a capture. All the while the defending team still has the choice of defending against the 1 person. This is a added aspect to the game for the solo players. If bases are so easy to take then the defenders should take them back. This game shoud be fun for all types, not for just 1 crowd. The fur balls still exist. I don't really see anything that has been taken away, only given.
I for 1 will no whine and say thank you hitech for the added aspects to the game.

Last night the Knights were just NOEing base after base along the coast. Once they ran out of bases along the coast they couldn't take a base. The terrain changes are at the same time each day....pretty easy to predict when it's going to happen. As for upping at a base as they take it, well that is your problem as well. While you are complaining about doing it, I upped at a couple just in time to shoot a couple of troops to stop a capture at one place, and help delay it at another. 3 or 4 of us stopped the capture of a V base long enough that the knights gave up (tho I'm sure they came back when things quieted down).

At least with all the "captures" going on there were a number of places to run into fights.

I wander if you just wait a weak or too things mite change?I think that would make more since and you wouldn't have to listen to all these week loosers and there clear explanations of how the capture sistem will be tweaked. Or just quit this week bellybutton game since HT don't got no cents no how.

How many brilliant ideas ... like spaghetti ...  

Happy New Next Year to all.

A great victory has just been won for the English language today.

[1Boner]

So the base WASN'T flashing??

Nobody upped to kill ONE guy??

Yup, its the games fault. Taking towns is way too easy!!

Lets "tweak" it some more!!

Absolutely hysterical.

If one guy can take a base, there is NOTHING wrong with game.

Was it Chuck Norris or something?

[DREDIOCK]

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



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

He already is. How do you think he got his job here.
Welcome to the institution

It's too hard! It's too easy!   

Why did the three bears story all of a sudden pop in my head
