Get the DA back to Normal!

[nrshida]

Ooooooo.  I like this a lot.  Except you neglected a small factoid:  most of the DA regulars are F3 gamers and while I find most of them fearless of the MA, I do find most of them ego-bound to the DA for their dependence on F3 gunnery.

I don't think it as widespread as the non-lake players believe. I find it very easy to tell who is using F3 to shoot (perhaps because I've been there a long time) but apparently most MA regulars can't and show up already thinking everybody does this and when they get shot (at all) it seems to confirm it for them. Remember there was a core of F3 players from H2H, but most of them have gone now.

Do you still frequent the place shida? ... it was quite a different place when you and ardy...and there were a few others there helping others out a couple/three years back...surely if you look back at that time you can see that there has been a steady decline of competitiveness at the lake..there is much more bully tactics there now.

The lake is the lake I know...but it too had a good vibe...now though...in my opinion it is like a little club and if you are not a member you are out... in reflection though...it is good thing as I prefer not to be known as a member

Yes I still go Tongs, I divide the little time I have to play presently equally between MA and DA. There was a spate of squads that resulted in very gang-like play for quite a while but it's died down now. There is a great bunch of guys there at the moment when I fly. A core of pure dogfighters. Most tune to 258 across country and just have a laugh. There are some very good sticks.

The Breakfast Club era was probably the golden age for respecting a good fight and staying out, but it always took energy to keep up good sportsmanship. Usually the first Tempests to show up marked a change in the day.

The regulars in the DA, to me, seem to be guys who just want to dogfight.  Maybe all they like is dogfighting, maybe they are just trying to practice dogfighting.  

This is a pretty accurate observation in my opinion. As I said there is a second tier of players who want to prey on the dogfighters when they are busy. I believe this explains the OP's frustration at the 262s.

The furball lake can be a lot of fun, and a great place to work on your technique. Just leave your prejudices and ego at the door and join in. If you don't like it don't go, and if you don't go don't criticise it, imho.

I spent the first 2 years of my AH life there bro...its just as rampant as it was.  I visit when Im flying and have taken notice that most ARE still there.  It doesn't matter but its a lot more abundant than you think.

Gawd...another whine thread! lol   

[Sg11]

This ridiculous horse hockey in the DA, with everything enabled is totally ruining the Dueling Arena. I thought Temptards were bad, but these idiots zooming around in 262s spoiling everyone else's fights is enough. I won't stay if that's what I have to deal with now.

I agree

Get your arse back in the game Lord Mukr.

I'm not callin you a liar. I am calling you an ignorant whiner who doesn't know what you are talking about.  The DA furball lake is for fuballing, and only furballing.  You complaining about getting picked is a worthless complaint.  Its a FURBALL.  Stay out of the lake if you dont want to be involved in it.  If you want to 1v1 duel, then ask someone to go duel you.  

If you seriously do not understand the difference between the DA Furball lake and random furballs in the MA, then you are a retard.  Not much else to say about that.

Your whining about the dogfighting vs furballing is NEWB nonsense.  Just because the arena is called the "Dueling Arena", doesn't mean that all fighting going on in the Arena is a duel.    The DA lake area is labeled on the map "FURBALLING".  Obviously HTC put that label on the map by the lake area for a reason, right?  If you dont want to be in a furball, then dont go in there.  Its not that hard to understand, man.

You are talking out of your arse.  I'm glad you've gone into the lake TWICE, and now feel like your opinion on it is based on realistic experience, and means anything to anyone who actually plays in there, and knows what they are talking about.  Now put on a fresh diaper, and run along to your preciously pure MA.

wow man, sorry to get your panties all bunched up. gettin a little too personal with your name callin there tough guy. ignorant whiner?, i didnt start this thread. but just in case you dont understand, man, i said i was 1vs1 and got picked. i didnt say, i flew into a furbal and and got killed. as a matter of fact, i didnt see any thing like a furball. i know what to frkn do when i see a furball. trust me, if i die in a furball, im not goin to whine bc i got killed. you didnt put me into the lake twice, so dont be so glad. also, read the thread, youll see im not the only one who doesnt hold the DA up on high ground.

  For those of us who have captured their last base years ago, find the transit time between bases in the MA a waste of time, and just want to twist and turn till someone is dead, the DA is the place to be. For flat out training for dogfights you cant beat it. You get 5 times the trigger time than you do in the MA, simply because of the close proximity to the combat area.

  So dont dump on the DA. We arent all a bunch of spazzes in there.

I have had some GFs with FiLtH and Nrshida at furball lake.  It's a great place to go if you just want to kill up and kill again.   Everyone on the same vox (258) has made the lake a lot of fun again, so if you haven't been in a while you may want to try it.

Have someone spawn a custom arena (with ANY map you want); Enable only 262's. If you regularly get 16 people and players are getting turned away because of that limit, then you can start your petition for jets in the DA. HTC has them disabled in the DA for a reason, even if none of us knows what the reason is.

I dont have the motivation to learn how to set up an arena...
Also i dont see your point about the 16 players as eventually there are less than 50 on in the MAs...  I was not asking for the 262 to be enabled everywhere, only on a certain pair of airfield. I do not want it to affect the DA furball lake as there is more than enough picking going on there, i just want to 1v1 with my friends in any aircraft we would like, without setting up a custom arena every time.

It takes about 10 seconds to select the terrain and type a password,

If you enabled 262's at only two fields in the DA do you not think for a second some DA griefer wouldn't grab a 262 and pester you?  or then take off fly across the map refuel at a closer base and then still grief the lake?   

Least with a custom room you can put a password and have full control over the settings.

You said you were at the furball lake.  Its a specific area within the DA where furballing takes place.  Thats not where 1v1's take place, unless you set that up with someone specifically.  So complainign about not getting in a 1v1 there is nonsense.  You dont seem to grasp that fact.  

Ignorant means to be unaware or to lack knowlege.  Whine means to complain in a childish fashion.   You are completely ignorant of the fact that the lake in the DA is only for FURBALLING, which is probably why HTC labeled it that way, and due to your ignoranct, you complain in a childish fashion about not getting in 1v1's there.  IMO, the shoe fits.

In fact, based on your post above, with me, along with others, explaining to you why you are being ignorant, you still dont seem to grasp the concepts, so theres no point in me explaining it anymore.  You either are a troll, or just unable to understand.  You just cant fix stupid.  Have a wonderful day.  Head over to the lake if you want to get you butt hurt some more.

I can see this friendship is going to need a lot of work!

Ya, you are probably right.  I guess there would be no way to contain the A-holes.  

Wait, I've got it! How about a completele new Arena dedicated to jets only?!?!?  Or maybe, maybe a completely new game with only korean/vietnam war era jets?!?!?!?    I bet no one has ever thought of that!!
