Are there enough players?

[ink]

I can imagine why.

you can can ya.....

that's actually not a "thumbs up" but its the closest one to the one I want to use.

[TheDudeDVant]

I can imagine why.

Me too cause its correct..
Nice bone quote there, I guess you agree.

[Black Jack]

Lusche if I remember correctly, the order of base taking was a single sequence. But if there would be more of them as the number of players increase in the arena. For example if you had another sequence everytime 25 more players are joining, it would mean 4 different bases could be attacked/taken if there is 100 players. I think this idea has something different than what we got in the past. 

[TheDudeDVant]

That idea does sound good. Or like was said before, targets could be assigned. Players would then be awarded more perks for attacking/defending the assigned targets.

[TheDudeDVant]

This could give us two more stats, zone defense time/zone attack time.

Oh oh, I detect a thread hijack imminent!  The question is, who will get the last word?

That he want's to screw us?

Your right, everyone in the muppets in male, and so is DrBone...  Ask him how does it feel to finally come clean and out of the closet?
We appreciate the flattery, but none of us swing that way (to my knowledge).

Nothing like a good ol' muppet vs crumpet thread.

So, who is not speaking with truth here?

When the area splits happened is when I started to lose interest. Mainly because 9 times out of 10 I would log in, see that most of my squadies were in one of the LW arenas and it was always capped, and I wouldn't be able to fly with my squad. My only choice was to go to another arena and fly with people I didn't know, or sit there and wait, hoping the cap would change and let me log in to fly with my friends. It was frustrating and it sucked.

Back before the caps when I logged in I KNEW I was going to get to fly and fight with my squad. Didn't matter if our "country" was outnumbered or not, we would either deffend our fields, or we would go on the attack. Point was we were flying together and having fun. All that went by the wayside in order to make things more "fair" in the arenas with population caps and side balancing.

You only know your squaddies? Wow

Sorry, but there is no way that can be "extrapolated".  In fact, there is no way to prove that the "majority like to win with relatively little effort" and how that even translates to flying for the side with more global war victories.  Win the War guys are underestimated.  They do like a good challenge.  Maybe not in a 1v1 combat sense, but they are challenging themselves in ways that most of us "vets" do not consider.  If there is no challenge people quit, I don't care who you are.  People also quit when there is no purpose.

there is a reason there are only 3 countries and that all countries opposing your county are the same color.  while this is a fantastic game that HT, Pyro and crew have created it's not their first rodeo. 

I can personally attest to the fact that people will gravitate to the country they perceive as "doing the best" and that multiple countries will gang up on one when they can easily tell them apart.  I am not saying that it can not be fun being on the receiving end of that but we also had much lower numbers and you could and did know everybody that was logged in at the time.

I've only been back a short time and been away for an awfully long time but when you learn your craft in the furball at A1 you don't forget and your blood always pounds with the call of "purps and frogs inc!!!!".

Yip Yip Yip!

p.s. HT could we get one arena with the old "close and land" capture back please????
 

[DREDIOCK]

That was the field capture order, and it was a horrible fail.

Dont know if we're talking about the same thing or not. I dont think so though
When I was speaking of zone bases I meant when there was one primary base for a series of bases in that zone.
If that base were captured it effected supply to the remaining bases in that zone. For example if the zone base were captured. Any damage to supplies (ord,troops,fuel) would either not occur or occur at a greatly reduced pace.

I remember a great many  fights taking place around people rallying to tr to either capture or prevent the capture of the zone bases.

If we assume that we are both talking about the same thing. I would not by any stretch of the imagination consider that a failure.

[Lusche]

No we are not.  

Your term "limited target set" did set me on the wrong track then, because in my understanding the zone bases did not limit the players to a particular target - in fact,the zone base had been often ignored/bypassed for some easier targets first.
The capture order however did truly limit the possible targets, forcing the players to attack certain bases or not at all.


To prevent any misunderstanding - I DO want the zone bases back (and at least railyards acting at resupply multipliers associated with them, located in the now deserted places of the old stats)
