time to retire GV unfriendly maps, dammit.

[lunatic1]

Yeah......let's make it so you are magically transported to where you would normally have to drive.

As you probably know you only spawn close to a base you still need to drive to the base.some bases r a 5 to 10 minute drive---which to me is ok

There are quite a few players that enjoy vehicle combat. Maybe they're all waiting for somebody else to go to the other arenas first.

In practice, that doesn't work

Why haven't you made a GV friendly map yet? It's your responsibility and you have no one to blame but yourself.

I'll bite on this one.  How is it his responsibility?

He can make a new map that meets his requirements if it is such an issue.

I found a couple of places to gv on Mindino a few days ago. Then, I got bombed.

Agreed, he can make one if he so wishes.  I was just questioning why it is his responsibility.  Big difference to volunteer, or have it as your responsibility.

I read it and here is a quote from the page;

"High fidelity flight simulation is the heart of Aces High but it doesn't end there.  A war rages on the ground and at sea.  Engage enemy armor in tank combat.  Protect your fleet as a gunner or make a torpedo run in a PT boat.  Lead an assault in an amphibious vehicle."

I'm pretty sure you can go blow stuff up. You probably wouldn't get bombed too often either.

Until he states otherwise, I assume the OP is looking for a battle

And unfortunately, hopping into an empty arena won't simply start one. They weren't empty if it were otherwise...

Mindanao [the major island that makes up the south Philippines] a horrible map for the MA.  It is the only map in the rotation that I truly dislike.  There is nothing balanced about the map what-so-ever.  It is the worst map for gv battles just as the OP pointed out.  If HTC will allow this wretched thing to be a map, then I emplore someone to take one of the many fine maps tha are used in the SEA's (Karelia comes to mind right away!!!) and plop a bunch of bases in a pie pattern and introduce them in to the MA rotation.  There are some very fine maps that hardly see any usage, and getting them in to the MA would get them the justice they deserve.

Mundane... er... Mindanoa is horrible.  Period.  I sincerely ask HTC to remove it from the rotation.

most likely due to the number of players using medical mj.

after a 70+ hour work week, i finally get a chance to log on, up a GV blow stuff up, only find the Mindao, with no place to spawn a tank, anywhere.

He said he was looking to blow stuff up. I'm willing to guess other people felt the same way. An empty arena will of course remain empty until the first player logs in. It's not like WW1 arena where there isn't much to do until another player shows up. In the main arenas you can take a vehicle and blow stuff up. With all the players in GV's these days it's easy to imagine enough for a good fight, all deciding not to go to midwar, and just logging off.

Aces High presents various challenges.

And it will still be empty for most purposes after that. I have played in EW long enough. Even with three to four players you are still for the most part "alone" , and that kind of gameply is not what the most of us are looking for. We are looking for multi player action. Large battles and stuff

To ask a single player to do what actually would require a general action by the community is quite a demand. Fine in theory, but sucks practically - because for the most part it simply won't work. Especially as the total numbers at the time the OP was posted, the total population (all arenas) is quite low. And see all the failed attempts to get things going in other arenas which we do know that many players actually would like to do.

At the end of the day, most players will congregate in LW, particularly at low population times. That's our "playground", and I do understand (to some extend) when someone is frustrated by having certain important gameplay aspects excluded by the map currently up.
