Early and Mid War
« on: April 30, 2011, 04:32:28 AM »
Why do we persist with Early and Mid war given such small numbers use them. Is there anything to be said for amalgamating them into Mid war and having another off/on peak late war MA for people who want to have a very low cap arena for those not flying in squads who want to make an individual difference. Just an idea and there may be objections to this equating to score padding/Milk Running etc.

My view is  :headscratch: on this one but a friend and long time player seems to have become seriously disenchanted with the more busy off peak game and the resultant feeling of hordeing when he is playing on his own outside his squad.  

Choice is often a good thing though I realise not allways  ;)

Anyone have any thoughts?

Yeah ... leave it the way it is ... for those who like them. No need to get rid of them and spoil it for other people so some can have yet another LW arena.

It would be no sweat off HTCs butt to simply create another LW arena for what you want ... without disturbing the EW and MW arenas.

This.  There is nothing to be gained by closing any arena.

Not that I matter, but if MW was shut down and I would be out of a game.  MW is why I play.

.....and why do people insist on trying to close them? They have nothing to do with any of the other arenas so how would it help anything?

If THEY don't use it - they see it as pointless.

Just closed minded fools.

Was kind of hoping "early war" would be a little earlier.

How early did you hope for? 1939-mid 1942 is fairly early.

I just fly early and mid war birds in LW cause I'm insane.... Hell how many people see an I16/Spit1/109E and just think "no problem" to only find out it is a problem. I do, sometimes, take a look at MW arena from time to time but when I'm actually on, LW off hours has 60 people and MW has less then 10. Aslong as I have access to early and midwar planes I'll fly them.

Hang on a minute before anyone steams in with both feet. I assume then there is not an issue of scarce resourses in which case just make another arena with a low cap please, maybe before we start telling anyone they are a fool FFS.  Take it easy chaps  :salute
