Another BETA event this Friday.  Come join us for COMBAT CHALLENGE

10PM EDT

There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

Hey Traveler, are you going to be able to migrate with us to AH3?

Maybe try Monday Night Madness, not high numbers like 6 per side or more but constant fighting, no ho's or vulching, no excessive alt. Just fighting + check AH3 they are starting to have some fun in there too.

I had a very hard time finding a fight last night. It is frustrating to have your free time eaten up just flying around, I literally burned over 2,000lbs of fuel and found two aircraft.

Saturday night during prime time,  I joined up with my squad only to discover that the LWA was far from it's normal numbers for prime time on a Saturday night.  During the evening I noticed text messages from CM's running an event in AH3 drawing even more people away from AH2.  That left the subscriber base still in AH2 at a lose for numbers.   At one point less than 150 players and of course on a large map.  My squad logged early that night.  I got e-mails from more squad members that they will not be flying any more, our squad numbers have declined from a high of 20 to a new low of 3.

prolly fair to say that AH3 beta is pulling some peeps but times are a changing and if you spend the time you have beta testing, you ain't flying AH2. But the numbers in game have been dwindling down even in my AH time.
There are just way to many ways to get into a squad activity. To just up an leave because you have decided you cannot play a specific way is just ......................
hopefully AH3 will draw some new players, bring back some old, its up to the community and the players to keep them interested and having fun.

They're going to have to since AH2 will be going bye-bye when AH3 is out of beta.  Or do you expect HTC to keep a AH2 server just for you and your squadron?

Traveler, I think your biggest problem is the fact your squad likes to dominate a base by killing hangers in preparation for capture. The current numbers just don't support that style of gameplay, you need to adapt to the changes. Try taking a field with the hangers up, or explore other dimensions of the game.

Delirium, which bases did you capture with all the hangers up?

I remember taking bases with Morpheus some time ago. We left all the hangers up versus a lot more opposition than is even available in game now.

Yup,its done every day! Some bases just the VH goes down, with auto guns in town and a White flag....base taken :neener: Its been done with 2 people, did it yesterday in fact. V bases and ports are easy with small numbers. Kill auto ack on V base, leave even radar up, and run the troops. Happens all the time! Cant find a fight, go pick one.

Ack Ack,

At this point there is not a fight here anyone can justify anymore other than Traveler himself. It's understandable not having the hardware to play AH3 could end his squad and everything that means to him. Some may still make the transition. His opening post is kind of Traveler as usual upset at Hitech and blaming him indirectly for taking away something he enjoys. If we take him at his word, come AH3, his squad and everything they enjoyed together in AH2 is gone due to hardware.

This long running fight between Traveler and the Hitech windmill will be over with AH3. Do we really want to rub salt in his wounds here near the end?

Way I see it, we have know about AH3 for quite some time now (almost 2 years?). If someone hasn't taken the initiative to test it for themselves to see if they are going to need new hardware, that's on them. Anyone can easily pick up a GTX 750 and be able to play AH3.

I would like to see Beta night once a week say Wednesday.  That is one night when all arenas are closed except for Beta.  Each week would get a different map.  No scoring if that makes it easier for HTC.

you would have a lot of folks that would not be able to play on Wednesday.
