Please set field capture level back to 50%.

[slayem]

 Yes a skilled player coming in from the right angle can get 50% in 1 pass sometimes. Can a novice?
Are total captures up or down? Are total kills? Hours played? Total damage points? GV captures and kills?
Probably just Obamneycare I guess?

Are total captures up or down? Are total kills? Hours played? Total damage points? GV captures and kills?

absolute total captures is not a very telling number as it also depends a lot on total player numbers, tour length and other factors.



New towns - Tour 126
Offpeak system - Tour 131
Town requirement set to 50% and white flag - Tour 131
Town requirement 75% - Tour 132
Back to single MA - Tour 137


Change in arena setup (split LW MA vs offpeak system or single MA) had a big influence because they made sneaking bases in a low population arena more difficult.
Also you have to put the raw numbers of captured bases and the ratio captures/time into the war perspective: There are much less bases needed for reset nowadays (about 5 from each country on small maps only!). This week we had at one time two map resets wars within 24 hours.



My opinion on thee OP wish: No, thank you, I think it's fine now.

 Wow! Thats some number crunching there! Way to go.
So it does appear captures per player are down, hours per capture are up, and kills per capture are up.
 Those numbers seem to indicate that more people are furballing or hording than before.
 Do you have charts on total captures, total Gv kills, total GV damage points also?
                            Thanks for input.

 Also, would you consider doing my taxes?

the more bases needed to be taken the more hordes there will be to go take those bases.at least now theres variety in the maps.

I was able to take town down when it was a t 50% with a single set of b26's using only 6 500 bombs.  leave it the way it is.

Please set the field capture level back to 50%. When the capture level is too high the game quickly degenerates to
almost all horde fights. The horde will take a base even if its at 100% but smaller unit captures get too difficult
so people quit trying. At that level the horde has to break up some to defend and the fight spreads out some.
 It gets kind of one dimensional when there are 150 bases on a map and only 3 fights.
The same squads are always ranked good either way but i know my guys liked it better when we captured 100
bases a month instead of 20. The more spread out the fights the less people have lag issues also.Most of us aren't
playing on a government supercomputer, and a fight with 50 people in it can cause internet issues.

Also please put the ammo factories back up front. It gives green pilots a place to do milk runs to get their skill
up and gives vets someplace to fly crappy planes once in awhile. With all the guns at them now it would be great
fun to attack them with GV's like in the old days.
More things to do is more fun for all.

There is always Xbox to fall back on.

I agree fully. This setting seems to be doing well. Captures happening, people fighting over bases and wars are being won. It's a great breathe of fresh air.

PS. I like the single MA.

 I agree that hording is fun. Every veteran player has done it and enjoyed it. It will be with us always as it should be.However, small unit(6 or less) air or gv battles or captures were also fun. For that matter, so was hitting forward factories from air or ground. It was something else to do. Guys that didn't want to didn't have to but those that did could. More variables more fun. More fun more people. More people even more fun.
 Oh and Shuffler, I don't play x-box. I came to this game because it had the feel of the military simulators (M-COFT and U-COFT)  I operated and had a wide range of activities to do in groups large AND small.
  More variables more fun. More fun more people. More people even more fun.

Do not be so absolute in your assessment.  I equate being in a horde is no different than being a bench warmer on a winning sports team.  Lots of time to do nothing but cheer, hope you get playing time, and getting a plastic trophy for being a "winnah".  Oh the FUN!     I'll take earning a base by a split second after 44 minutes of hard work, some tactical planning, and some luck vs using the knuckle-dragger mentality of 20-v1 odds.  I despise the horde regardless of which side I'm on.
