And then promptly logged out.  Losing darbars sux on so many levels.  Here's hoping they change the HQ destruction parameters along with the new terrain.

Compliments of the Rooks.  :aok

We had a hell of a time dealing with the 7 163s that were harassing the bombers, I think we earned it.

So you enjoy people logging off?

Knowing the bish HQ is probably back up by now.

Loosing HQ is not the worst thing that could happen. Communication can overcome a lack of radar easily. I've been having some pretty stale fights with the bish lately anyway. A lot of people lost B-29s in that raid, so as far as I'm concerned, both sides are suffering equally.

Why couldn't the HQ be defended?  There is a base nearby with Me 163s enabled, there is really no excuse on not being able to scramble any defenders, well, laziness I guess would be one.

Do the bases continue to flash if enemy a/c are nearby, even if you've lost the DAR bars?

I don't know why.  It was down when I logged in.  There were at least 7 163s defending, according to one of the griefers.  If the enemy still gets through the defenders, does that make the remainder of the country's population lazy?  They were in the middle of fighting/bombing/tanking but should have all bailed out and upped 163s?

Look out the tower window of a flashing base...ok, coast is clear - I can take off.  Fly around for a few minutes without spotting anything but still flashing.  Is it a set of 25k bombers?  Are they north, south, east or west?  Or they coming, going or just passing through the dar circle?  Is it one tank or a bunch?  A 10k P-51 steamroller mission or a single noe porker.  Maybe just a goon parked somewhere.  Several other bases are flashing.  Should I try my luck there?  Is there a fight going on?  Who the hell knows? 



The point I'm trying to make is the loss of darbars is a detriment to combat in a combat game.

 :huh

Griefing?  Seriously???

:rofl :rofl :rofl

I like that one.  "Griefing" the HQ.

 :rofl


What I'm trying to understand is how the "changing HQ parameters" thing fits into all this.  The HQ was destroyed, not damaged.  So you are saying that a destroyed HQ should still function as if nothing happened?  I'm a little confused there...  If the DESTROYED HQ should still show something for dar, then what is the point of having it in the first place???  At that point it should be removed.  Why not go to the wishlist section and wish for it to be removed?  No one would have to worry about this issue again. :headscratch:


I could careless regardless.  Having logged in more than a few times to a downed HQ, this hasn't stopped me from doing anything.  If anything, I seem to attract enemies more when I up for anything when our HQ is down. :bhead






Griefing...

 :lol

If you've been online and gotten into the fights in a particular part of the map losing HQ isn't that big of a deal but if you're just logging on and it's down it's sometimes more difficult to find out where the fights are, particularily if it's off peak.  I've logged off in that situation too but to me it really doesn't matter as I play so little as it is.

Maybe a solution would be a set of neutral colored dar bars just so you'd have an indication of where to look on the map but without knowing country specifics.

I have to agree with Caldera, on a big map with some 200 players online, I would log too.
maybe you should not see the dots on radar, but the bar itself, and make a tank bar too.
