This game has such diversity, that its a shame people either don't get a chance to use it all, or don't take the time to find out about it all. I see new guys looking to get into it, and getting frustrated, I see guys that have been here awhile and getting bored with it. let me make a few constructive suggestions.
New guys: if you're getting creamed all the time, ask for some help. sometimes even from the guy that killed you. many are willing to help you, some wont. if that doesn't work, go to the training arena and look for morfiend, he's awesome as a trainer! any of the other trainers are great too. they still help me out at times and ive been playing for almost 10 years.
bored guys and new guys: try some of the more organized events in the game. there's usually a little less face shooting or dweeby stuff and its a lot more fun in my opinion.
suggestions:
Join a squad or a different squad: new guys, this would be helpful to you in helping you get better at the game and have someone to talk to, to show you the ropes if you will. Bored guys, changing squads might help give you a new perspective on the game. could help keep you interested.
http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/board,19.0.htmlFSO--Friday night squad operations: 3 Friday nights a month at 11pm EST. you have to be part of a squad, so if you want to check it out, my group, JG54 will always take new guys, if we know about you ahead of time. yes this is a shameless plug for jg54, but heck I'm writing this!!
Monday Night madness in the AVA arena: Monday nights in the AVA from 8-10pm EST-- its a free for all with the midwar planeset, but we have a couple of rules. It stays pretty civilized for the most part, for a couple of hours on Monday nights.
Extreme Air Racing league: Tuesday night at 1000pm EST in the Special Events Arena(SEA). Beardawg runs it and its a ton of fun, and extremely exciting.
AVA staff squad night: Tuesday night at 9Pm EST in the AVA arena. also a fun free for all. most people are less likely to Ho you and its a good chance to meet the guys that run the AVA.
Wednesday Night Snapshots: once a month of Wednesday nights, they have a "day in the war" events. very interesting very fun and very diverse, always something different.
Thursday Night tank fights: every Thursday night in the AH3 axis vs allies arena, we have a tank battle. we get to test out the new game for htc and have some fun at it. always something different.
Scenarios: the occasional scenario's that come up. join up with them, volunteer as a commander, immerse yourself some and make the game fun!
KOTH: King of the Hill--- twice a month on Friday nights at 5pm EST, there's a king of the hill event. It's a same plane free for all, last man standing is the winner!
for those of you who are bored, and even new guys: get more involved in the game. talk to the AVA staff(another shameless plug) or the CM staff about becoming a CM for one of the arena's. they could always use new blood, new ideas and new fun!!
the arena staff always needs help running things or trying new things. FSO guys need people to create and execute good setups on Friday nights. they could use terrain builders too.
with the new AH3 coming there will be plenty more for people to get involved in.
talk to people, talk to CM's, talk to trainers. if you're new ask, if you're bored get involved!
these are all just suggestions to help make the game fun for you. it is what you make of it. see the ahevents page for other options
