No incintive to up a fighter sweep? = Lack of motivation, back to what I said about it being too easy to complain about. The bail as soon as you comming at them does not happen to me....I see this in Buffs occasionallly but not often enough to make anything out of it.

I will argue your point that there is no counter to the hoard, as we do it all the time. If a Hoard/Mission is seen. We up a counter Mission/Hoard and as soon as they see we are taking one of thier bases they quickly fall apart in what they are doing elsewhere. It is no more than a game of chess played smart. Vast array of options to counter Missions/Hoards.

I also do not buy the crutch that the hoarders will get board and move on......If that was the case we would not be still visiting this issue at current date. It would have resolved itself long, long ago.


Ya that makes sense, let's make our own horde, and NOT attack the other horde but go roll a base some place else. LOL! Yup you have a clue. Your just adding to Tue problem, not solving it. WTG!

What I meant by the boredom is that before long new players will join the hoed until its their turn to get bored and move only. Slowly but surely there will be fewer and fewer players that look to fight. Before you know it the game will be 3 hordes all racing to grab the number of bases needed to win the war. No more fighting needed, just roll in on an undefended base because the enemy horde will be out trying to steal bases on another front.

Queue that screenshot of one horde completely passing another horde so they both can attack two undefended bases.

  Don't know about others but I love to defend against these attacks. Denying a capture against the odds is a thrill. Sure they're going to take down the field and all hangers if they can and the vulchers are out in full force. But when the lemmings come marching in just sitting on the field you can score kills as they auger around you. Several times I've bailed over town and ran into map room for some .45 cal fun.  :D


   I look for the Dar with more red than green and go where I'm needed most. Big green dar's you'll see several fighting over scraps.

   The best defense against Hordes is available but few will do the work.  :headscratch:
I always wanted to fight an impossible battle against incredible odds.

Yes make your own Mission/Hoard thats exactly what Im saying. You can "LOL! You have a clue all you want", but it does not change its effectiveness, and it works by drawing fighters OUT of Hoard/Mission. The point is your have a choice, make a mission or fightersweep to go intercept. Yet you whine about the bases that get rolled elsewhere, but you dont see it worth the effort to interecept or put up a mission to counter...... you cant have it both ways. I do not see how Im adding to the problem by taking bases and doing missions......unless you see missions and base taking as problems then you have a bigger issue at hand alltogether. 

If that was the case with the boredom and hoards as I said before it would have happened long before now....Today is far, far from the opening date of AH.

No more than a complaint and whine and yet unwilling to do anything about it. :cry

Could not have said it better Slate. But there will always be the naysayers, whiners, and wet blankets always grabbing at daddys coat to "Change" it for them because they too lazy to make the REAL change in the game that starts with themselves....its just too easy to blame it on things like Hoards/Missions and use accordingly as a Crutch.  :salute

LOL!!! you little ,little boy LOL!!!


I have dove into more hordes than you have seen players in this game. I have defended, attacked, NOEd, milkrunned, spawn camped, for longer than THIS game has been around. I have lead a squad for years in two different flight games. I have flown more fighter sweeps than missions you have ever been in. I have launched 1000s of missions.  Basically I have "been there, done that". There isn't a single thing you could think of in this game I havn't done. You are once again showing how little you do know. Creating your own horde doesn't stop an apposing horde unless you intercept it head on. Stealing bases from behind the other horde doesn't stop or slow them at all as they are more interested in grabbing bases than defending one. So now you have created a second horde that like the other avoids each other.

Also, what I do here on the boards is not complaining, tho some may take it as that. I look at it more as a warning. I see an issue that is stating to change the game play in the arenas. Your either part of the horde, or your being crushed by it. There is very little in between. The biggest complaint before was about the NOE. A vast majority of the mission run in the Mains were NOE. HTC decided to change things. We got the 65 foot limits and at first 35-40 mile dar circles. And the players cried, because it was the only way they knew to play the game. The dar circles are back down and players have learned to fly better. While there are still a lot of NOE (mostly when we hit a water map) there are not as many as we had before. I'm hoping the same happens for the horde one day. I don't know what "fix" HTC will do, but I'm sure the players will cry, but then they will learn how to play better and the game will go on. Maybe with more fighting action in stead of the "Whack a mole" version we have now.

The only way to stop a horde is to get a warning early enough to organize a number of players to mount an effective defense. Launching a defensive mission isn't like launching an attack mission. In an attack mission even if you suck, when that arena message goes up "A3 has been captured" you can feel a part of that. Defensively, if your good enough....or lucky enough in my case, you land a couple of kills. There is no message stating t"the attack at A3 was turned back" there may not even be a kill or two for many players due to skill levels. Your just not going to get the participation in a defensive mission you would in an attack mission.

So we get hordes.... that avoid each other (because it's more fun to take a base then to stop the other guys from taking one), we have a few players that enjoy diving in a "picking" a few horde lemmings and run back to a base and land them to get their name in lights, and then we have the rest of us who look for a fight, even if we have to dive into the horde to get it.

Like I said only way to realy stop a horder IMHO is to pork thier ords and troops, 2-3 guys to a base,  course it if  fun stopping a base take with a good scramble  to town and  take out the m3's  and just staying alive klong enough for help to arrive.
