True? If so I wish for it to be resolved.

One of the few things HTC ever did that generated lots of combat I can remember was to increase the dar circles while lowering the minumum to 65 feet. You could see players upping at their feilds and follow them on the map. Which ment you always could find missions to fight or show up on time to defend against them or fly to red dots on your map and pick a fight.

Then the complaints flowed in and we went back to hiding from each other.

Taking back the increased dar ranges was among the best descisions HT has ever made. Overlapping dar circles deep into enemy territory and even covering the enemy bases was only and eyclusively to the benefit of the hordes. In the long run, the single player could only join them or give up.
I'm not exaggerating when i say: If it had stayed that way, I would have closed my account.

Problem here is that this game does nothing to reward you for putting yourself in a disadvantage.

People join hordes and get rewarded with landgrabs regardless of how much resistence they get. People fly timid and get rewarded with a great score (not saying that some with a good score are not that great).

Find a system that makes people WANT to go against people who have the advantage either in numbers or oppurtunity. Best way I can see is to put their name in lights and present them as the moments new aclaimed FPH.  HOST: ???? landed 3 kills and survived a 3 vs 1. Although a coding nightmare, the example puts us in the right track. Only then will you see an improvment in game play.

I haven't played in a few tours.  Did they do away with ENY and the perk modifier?

someone who wasn't there extolling the virtues of gameplay that has not changed.

runstangs run. turney planes turn. hordes hord. missiuns mission. noobs noob. squads squad. they are all dweebs as they always have been. they all whine and complain and wonder why it used to be so new when it was new.

why is it not new now?

what has changed?

I have not changed they say.

It must be everyone else. surely this can be fixed. this will make it all new again.

Still here. 
IMO. The perk mod is great but rarely does it entertain the newer crowd. Given the choice, they would rather have the ability to run their 51s, LAs etc with the huge #s instead of switching sides, grabing a high ENY value plane and go at it.

dont forget the guys in the 262s just flying around just picking people off.  or some other guys who want to set a record for the most kills.  and yes they can kill 80 guys in a row 1v1, they are that good.  isnt it ironic that some guys want to change the time limit from 12 hours to 1 because they cannot find good fights and yet there's others who have no problem landing 10, 20 or 30 kills all 1v1?

only difference between the dweebs and the record holders is that the dweebs... well actually there's no difference,  just some think that when they get several kills in a row is due to skill rather than being just a picktard like the rest of us dweebs.

as a I said all dweebs.

and the 262 and the streak dweebs have been around since the 190a8 and 262 were added.

read the book of dweeb to learn more about the true dweebiness of all ah players.

 instead of switching sides, grabing a high ENY value plane and go at it.

the 12h switch limit can make it quite difficult to do that

Right now I see the Bishs getting ganged by Rook and Knights for more than 3 hours now. But I would still have to wait another 4 hours before I could hop over. So atm my only option is to go with the horde...
