LWOH - uh?
« on: January 09, 2011, 01:10:00 AM »
Soooo today, the EST afternoon shift (Bishops) captured A9 about 3 minutes before the "5 minute until Arena Lock" message appeared. Now, before the lock, we owned 43% of the Knight's fields, tonight when the OH arena opened up we only had 20%.....someone explain this to me.... :joystick:

He did the same thing not too long ago for Bish.  Glitch on a lot of these maps that allowed uncapturable bases to be captured.  Maybe he felt that a few of those bases would not have been captured if the uncapturables had not been capturable.  I'm just speculating here but I'd bet that's the case.

ya so when the bish horde gets rolling it can win the map with out loosing it's momentum.

On the other hand, going by the picture (tho I'm not sure when that screen shot was taken) The bish did have more of the Rook bases A1,7,8,and 43 were Bish bases, not rook as shown in that picture.

Looks like we're going to have to silence D112. He is getting too close to the Skuzzy/rook conquest theory.

Im in hopes that no bish switch to rook and find our invisible power ups that are scattered on the map only seen by non bish players  :noid

I'm sure it would be along the lines of "Quit being a whiney b***h and get the move on son! Move some damn mud and quit yer gripin' before I put on in your leg and THEN make you get to movin' so you REALLY have somethin' to gripe about!"
:)
Semper i to him  :salute


I'm thinking the did a small reset because the last time OH was beaten the arena closed itself.  :old:

 FOR 1 thing,AS the OP said,bases being put into the hands of the default team's who they were in the frist place..

 Its not really base taking friendly anymore,really just a waste of time to take bases..

 Some people get on at certain times during the day,start getting into the fight then the map is going to be reset as they are just getting into it..

 The same maps since this OH has been going on..

  map resets need to be set at 33% for other sides as it is in MW and EW if this system is going to be kept in place,or these maps will only change when someone at HTC feels like changing the maps out for us..

Maybe HT realized that the point of game where most people log off is right when their country is suppressed to a couple of bases and pressed from both sides. Solution: make it so that bases don't run out :)

idk....bish would have forced a take in OH had it not reset. We were rolling and rolling and the rooskies were ready for a change so they weren't fighting back very hard....We were trying to make it quick and painless. I stayed up till 2 AM to help finish it off only to find that the time I had put in prior in my day had been a complete waste. Maybe we will magically win though...idk



EDIT: They didn't do that when the bish had nothing but uncap's and they were about pointless because the rooks and nits kept the hangars shut down.
