Does Hitech plan to rotate maps at all?

[Belial]

I like the new changes to how the towns are captured even if the % of buildings required down should be a bit higher.  BUT


Even with bases being easier to take we aren't seeing maps rotated.  I know some may not mind playing the same maps for months on end but I really liked how we use to get a fresh map after titanic tuesday.

Are these days over? I can't be alone in missing them.

Am I going to lose sleep? no
But gameplay is not as interesting IMO

Im usually not one to bother for what map i fly on. but Orange's Trinity needs the boot soon. how long? two months of the same map? even my limits being stretched for this one...

This is what happens when the dev's. don't play the game.

There was a secret meeting held in Grapevine where it was decided to do everything possible to make the player base complain more.  First on the list was no map rotation.  Neutering the LW planes even more was second.  Third was using Lusche's idea as a shield to irritate folks when the two latewars go to one late night.

Watch 200 and you can see their fiendish plan is working!

If you don't watch out, Skuzzy is going to accidentally on purpose trip over the power cable at a time when the most perk planes are in the air too.

they are but now the problem is that all three sides wont work strategically enough for enough time to actually finish off the map's 40% for both countries. when the rooks took 60% of nitland, the bish knocked the rooks out. The next two days has the rooks and bish pushed back but then the bish pushed the nits. the next day, the nits pushed back and the rooks kicked the nits butts all over. the next day... sheesh its ring around the rosy without the all falling down... YET.

I knew it... I'm just a pawn in a greater game for power

LOL only one thing to do.  Apparently HTC is paving the way for the B29 and NUKES!  Since the crowd no longer has the desire or will to actually win the map, it will be instant gratifcation.  Never ending map rotations as the B29s up, drop their Nukes and the war ends every five minutes causing the map to change.  Lets see, that would be how many map changes a day?

in return creating or no...re defining the definition of "milk running" for those so head strong set on obtaining Bomber Perks to be able to contninously up a Nuke equipped B-29

anyone else wish they would allow AvA maps in the main arenas? they are by far the best maps, or how about just get rid of the main arenas and just have the AvA arena?

[Lusche]

You think abolishing the arenas with 80% of AH activity in favor of the arena with the smallest population would be a good move?

There's a reason why nobody ever goes in the AvA.

Yup, nobody that is afraid of getting their butts kicked EVER goes into the AvA.  See above.

I agree that I haven't seen the maps reset in a long time, and Lusche in another post, states that it was not part of his "Off Hours" map configuration plan.

Tyrannis may have been a little over zealous with his praise of the AvA maps.  But there is a suggestion for those of you, who are open minded enough and don't mind letting your ego take a bruising.  When the maps are set to reboot the MA, or you just have had your fill for a while, check into the "empty" Axis Versus Allies Arena.  Fly around and see what you can blow up or drive around. 

You might find yourself very quickly jumping on the Tyrannis band wagon (minus the do away with LW part).

For example:  Yesterday, I logged on to the server splash screen, and saw numbers below 10 in both arenas, so I went to the empty AvA arena.  I grabbed an attack plane and flew through a dust storm (cloud coloring unique to this terrain), and began strafing one of the bridges along the twin rivers until it was destroyed (traffic problem also unique to this terrain).  Just before I was about to land I noticed that the arena was starting to become populated.  Pretty soon, we had a nice AvA furball which lasted for the better part of the evening. 

Had a few, get their egos hurt when they lost fights with multiple attackers (missing their little red icons) and left instead of grabbing another plane and getting back in the fight (which would have taken about 2 minutes).

You cant get your butt kicked if there's nobody to kick it.

I was extremely happy with HTC making Orange te large map and Blue having the small maps, but that seems to have gone away somewere, now it's 2 massive maps in both arenas with 150 players max most of the time in both arenas. There's usually only 1 base that the fighting is going at anymore.
