ENY FROM TOWER SITTERS

[DmonSlyr]

These big maps has to go out of rotation until we get more players.

I agree. I'd love to see some of the FSO, custom maps, or some other smaller arenas get placed on rotation. It really would make the fights better all around. These huge maps that scatter the players everywhere really have no bearing on the combat part of the game and create boring game play. A smaller arena or even a smaller area of the map to only fight in would compact the players into having to fight. I'm sure the coading part to that is something more difficult than I can imagine. But its just stale when there are tiny red dar bars with maybe one con in each scattered around the Maps instead of one big dar where the majority of people are fighting. If there was only a smaller section of the map to fight in. People could find fights much easier and have a much more fun time fighting agaisnt the opposing team instead of fighting against puff ack, or upping only to not be able to find what ever con is in the sector.

Back to Bear's statement...I really wish Hitech would weigh in on the auto-logout re: inactive players. Surely he's aware of the many frustrated players who are frequently forced into 25+ ENY ac/gv's. C'mon Dale...toss us a bone here.

I just switch countries, it work most of the time. Or I use one of my mamy shades  . In fact half of all players in game are my shades...

You also have to take into account that many and I would say "most" would prefer NOT to have any combat and would relish being left alone to drop their bombs or grab a base with out a defense, and so they LOVE these big maps.  Its a sad state, but that is what the majority of players seem to like these days. Very few want to "fight" for anything in the game.

Thanks for posting the link Fugi...I don't recall seeing that before.

Just about every multiplayer game I've ever played has a system to kick an inactive player.  You can always work around them, but it at least kicks the knuckleheads who AFK instead of log off when they go to wash their car, cook a 7 course meal, etc.  Off the top of my head, most have it set around 15 minutes of inactivity.

Thanks Fugitive.  Makes perfect sense what Hitech is saying on the inactive players and ENY.

I am never one to cry wolf....but damn you are spot on.....

[Hetzer7]

i would say many but not most.

i would say many but not most.

If you have a horde of 40 guys hitting a base MOST of them are not there to fight. Some may get shot done, but again those aren't fights, they are picks and augers.

If you have 20 guys sitting at a spawn point doing nothing but popping the next guy to spawn in they are NOT fighting.

There are many ways to "play the game" in which fighting is NOT involved.

So yes, I believe MOST don't want to fight.

WOLF! Where???? Is that like when someone like a talking dog yells "Squirrel!"
