As we are now. CraterMA's TT can be saved if Greebo updates the map by cutting straight line passes through the barrier mountain ring straight into V100 and it's two counter parts. Then it won't be worthwhile to greif the community by capturing everything in TT. Since the lazy buff drivers can run their buff carpet right into V100 or it's counter parts and flatten the places. Other wise, a few more Midway incidences, and TT will become a ghost town just like Trinity's became due to the place not being worth the trouble to recapture. Just like Greebo designed it for a larger around the clock community in mind to protect TT from being captured to help GVers. Unintended consequence suck.

Because of our current low numbers during off peak, maps are now at the mercy of anyone (group) willing to be on during the low number periods and greif the map. At least your opinions of the individuals willing to whizz on our community will become validated. For what ever that's worth. Low self esteem and greifing is it's own reward in intardnet games. Or the politically correct observation, Unintended Consequences.

I think wwiskey was talking about me and midway--because I was on during my lumch hour..i was one of the guys gripeing at midway.
I don't mind bomb****s being at tanktown.just more targets to shoot at. but when you can't even play in tank town, because some brat,wants to be a jerk, and take over the fun,it's not right..
I'm sure some of the bish players feel the same way...I play this game for fun and relaxation..i want fly and gv without any barriers..
I've seen rooks always hogging tt maps and I've seen the bish do it. in all the time I've been playing I've only seen knights do it once.of course there have been times in the last 4 years that I haven't been on for 3 weeks at atime so knights may have done more.
gving and fighting at tanktown is not spawn camping--you spawn to a battle area and drive to a spot to fight..spawn camping is where you spawn in and set waiting for a ene to spawn infront of you..

I am a lucky person as far as getting time to play this game--my job is only 45 hrs a week--don't work sats-suns..live 1-1/2 miles from where I work--am single no children...I can play as long or as little as I like-as long as my puter works and as long as I have internet.

THERE are a lot of people in this game on ALL SIDES that aren't this way..  they have limited time-real-life steps in--for somebody coming in and being a bully--and preventing somebody from doing what they want to do well, it's JUST NOT RIGHT!!


after reading this over it's sounds like I'm BABBILING.lol


solve this problem and  MAKE TANK TOWNS ON ALL MAPS UNCAPTUREABLE   and lessen midway's childish behavior-PLEASE


and by the way you'all can laugh at all this ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^if you want--I start with idea and then starts spreading to babbling.

oh and something else midway is not affiliated with any squads except except his own mind and doesent gv all that much--what does he care what goes on in tt?

I AM VERY VERY SORRY IF I HIJACKED YOUR THREAD

and something else--right this very moment  sat- 19th-12:24pm  the rooks own 23% of knight bases and only 5% of bish-yet they keep attacking knights why is that--and why don't the bish attack the rooks??

Greebo made CraterMA based on his memories of another era in Aces High history. The amount of time it takes to produce a map created the unintended consequence of being out of touch with the current era of Aces High.

You cannot successfully segregate the aircraft fans from the GV fans on the same map and not create a ghost town today. It indulges the worst in players because they can hide from the frustrations of combat in the MA while still tossing rounds at something and feel good about themselves until they log for bed time.

Even if it's those players $14.95, it's short sighted on the map makers part to keeping the whole community in mind. Once you successfully segregate combat in the MA or the whole Aces High experience. You have started a very slow death for the game and the Aces High unique identity.

Aces High for combat is not supposed to be WT or WoT. It's supposed to be better.

Our greatest unintended consequence is we try to turn Aces High into them.

I really must get in a tank one of these days...  :neener:

:aok

In all seriousness please do whatever to make the game enjoyable for GVers and pilots...because in the end that's what is important, that is what will keep people playing, and that is what will keep the game alive. I don't believe these things are mutually exclusive either...anyone who does likely isn't being openminded or has lost sight of the big picture.

That is loosing sight of the big picture when you allow or engineer segregation by activity. Have you ever wondered why in the arena selection menu the name of the current map is not displayed?
