Radar icons for friendlly bombers, F2P TA + removal of paid custom arenas.

[Myg]

- I wish for friendly bombers to have special radar icons (bombers only) and for the TA to be turned into a free arena for people without subscription accounts + I'd like to see the removal of the paid custom arenas to balance that out.

     Not sure I want the Training Arena cluttered with freeloaders.  It's supposed to be a spot where people can learn..especially
new comers to AH  -1

agree with Bino.

agree with Bino.

Me too. No more freebies! You want to play, you got to pay. Is 50 cents a day too much?

  What do you mean by "the removal of the paid custom arenas"?  Do you want custom arenas discontinued?

- 100 to that.  I am currently using the custom arena as a recruiting tool to try and get some family and friends involved.  I'm not having much luck, but still.  The custom arena is badly unappreciated.  The custom arena is a great gift from HTC, which should be used more often.

 Agreed,I cant imagine what it would be like with a couple dozen freeloaders asking for help.

   However I think HTC might want to consider an extra 2 weeks free but with only TA access. It might just keep a few of those players that get frustrated easily around.

I would be interested to analyze AHs numbers around '2-weekers' and paid membership. Maybe a free TA is the ticket, maybe it would change nothing what so ever. Does AH do an exit survey of 2-weekers and why they do not prescribe?

boo

You would have to have a full-time moderator in there, constantly kicking foul-mouthed 14 year old griefers

I miss H2H...I miss Denholm's airport map...I miss the 262s with 10000 rounds of cannons. I miss the Bridge of Hell GV Map. I wouldn't mind having free H2H back. I was there when the hackers showed up and got H2H shutdown...makes me wonder...is AH that vulnerable to hacks that HTC can't find a fix for it? Because shutting down H2H appears like they're saying "Welp, we can't fix it so pay or leave." Would love to see a reply from a HTC member.

They found it: Hosting arenas on their server instead of giving each player his own host.

So...is there a reason the custom arenas we have now can't be free? I'm a paying member, and certainly not begging for the game to free, just curious in general.

Hosting arenas on their servers means costs and additional workload for HTC. I guess the return is just not worth it.

Hmm..so let paying customers host and free players join?

Then who is the regulator?

I like the idea of icons designating between a bomber or a fighter.  It would make it far easier to see whats going on when I bring up the map. Perhaps instead of a dot, a small "+" symbol to designate a bomber formation.
