I have a proposal concerning HQs.

[Grin]

Turn all three HQs off for one Friday. Everyone will be on even ground. Spies won't be able to read locations on the map and relay to their handlers, missions won't be so easily intercepted, focus will be shifted more toward communication and coordinated effort. Shoot, make an event out of it! Team with the most bases by the end of the 24hr period, say 0800 US Central time Friday to 0800 Saturday, wins, if the map isn't shifted. Furballers can still furball, there will just be an actual objective behind it. Logging because of HQ being down will be seen as an act of cowardice, as NOBODY will have HQ up. Plan it out about a month and a half in advance, and we might just have record numbers for the year so far in the MA.

No dar for scenarios, FSO and special events is expected.  No DAR In the main arena where most folks are trying to find other human beings to scrap with is just a bad idea.

completely agree

What do they not understand!?!?!? I can fight buildings offline.

Lets also have every country set at 29 ENY, triple the CV ack quantity and accuracy and have the game disco every 10 minutes.   


One thing I agree with is that the numbers could set records, but on the other end of the scale.

The whole point of the radar is to let players find fights. If there's neither bar-dar nor dot-dar, that will be far more difficult. I have to side with the naysayers on this suggestion. Based on my own observation, folks in the Main Arena want to find a fight, not practice their cross-country navigation skills. Over in the Special Events Arenas, organized squads make plans beforehand to coordinate scouting and intel to find the enemy. The MA is a bird of a different feather.

I have to disagree with that. YOU use the radar to find fights. Many of us use the radar to see what bases are being attacked. You may think it's the same, but it isn't, otherwise, so many of us wouldn't be taking dar down when we're attacking bases. It's not just about perks, it's about, now you don't know where an attack is coming from. The fight is fun, no doubt, but there's so much more to this game than just dogfighting. Those who just want to do a limited part of the game, shouldn't have the right to make the rest of us "do it your way". This whole attitude of those who ONLY want to dogfight is really making me want to leave the game again. I'm NOT going to do it YOUR way, and the more you try to make me, the more I'm gonna call whiner and do it the OPPOSITE of what you want.

Here is an opinion from a player that likes to fight when something is at stake (air field, port, Vbase, strat, carrier, etc.)-sea, land or air.  I do not like furballing or spawn camping.  I find both activites boring and repetitive.  Do not assume that everone who dislikes this idea is only interested in a furball or a spawn camp.  I am a fur-taker (This term is Patent Pending but you can use it).  I kill the enemy wherever they are found, then hit & take their fields if I cannot find them to provoke a response.  Rinse and repeat.

Thats kinda my main objective when logging in.  I'll leave flying for scenic purposes to MS Flight Sim and the rest.

Nope. Nice try

I am a fur-taker.

There is a waxing comment in here somewhere...

And my favorite thing is to oppose the fur-takers.  Fur-giver(?) sounds... just wrong somehow.

I switch up from furballing to base taking/defending, spawn camping, spawn camp breaking, gv furballs, fighter sweeps, escorting, and occasionally bombing.  I do not want a furballing only game but it is important to me to have players to fight and the ability to find action fairly quickly.  The HQ situation represented the pendulum swinging too far one way.  I have zero desire to force anyone to play "my" way but I have no issue asking for a change when some aspect of the game sucks the fun out to the point people start logging.  Players can still kill radar for over an hour but now it will take more effort and an increased likelihood of a fight during that process.  Bases are still getting taken, maps are still being won.
