AH3 Vs AH2

[lunatic1]

 

Well, Traveler, you posted your thoughts, which are complaints that AH3 is being tested and that it's drawing people away from what YOU want them to do. They are misguided, at least. AH3 is coming, soon, and AH2 will go away, gladly. Accept the facts or move on. Those are your options, as your complaints will go unheeded by HTC, since they are counter-productive to the progress of the game.

or how you can let 1 guy chase you off a map

I guess the special event was going to happen either way, ah2 or ah3.

Do you guys not see the only remaining problem here is the large maps?

Duh!

Unless the plan is AH3 gains 300 new players during US Primetime.. you better bail these junk maps.  How hard is it to pull them rotation and add them again when it makes more sense.
Yet they remain in rotation.

You are chasing away the current playerbase.

I see yucca in tanks now... that says enough.

I believe there was a "vote" on whether large maps should be pulled not long ago.

[Traveler]

the irony is that traveler doesnt understand that only 12 people went to the beta arena. while about 150 were in the MA.  I had a lot of fun that day.  not sure why traveler wasnt able to have fun.  sounds like a personal problem to me.

 That night, Knights had 46 of that 150, of which 7 were tower bound that's leaves 39 on a large map with CM stealing away a percentage of that.  While HTC can't help the numbers, they can control the maps.  If as you say only 12 people went into beta, what is the quality of any testing performed in beta?

The majority of the furballing community has either left, or rarely played, now and during when that vote took place.


The majority of the participants in that vote were the very small remaining population of what used to be great.  Many of which probably registered their vote from a camped spawn or field gun.

I doubt that pole was up more than a week.

Similar to the reminder that the free beta is going on now.

Guess if you dont catch them in a weeks time.. just throw in the towel, eh?

Duh!

So when are you going to design a new small map and submit it to HTC?

so the knights had 1/3 of all the players.  i was there, there was a lot of furballs at this or that base.  if you didnt have fun that night you got nobody but yourself to blame.

I didn't say I didn't have fun, what I said was " I didn't think it was a good idea for the CM to be drawing players away from AH2 when we were faced with very low numbers on a large map.  That is all I said.

you made it sound like you werent having fun.  I'll quote your original message in case you forgot.

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.

True.  And there's a certain logic to that.  But it probably doesn't account for people like me (...well...sort of like me, didn't mean to offend anyone...) who really don't enjoy the MA as much as a smaller-numbers arena.  My guess is that we're the ones most likely to be siphoned off to test Beta, or fly in AvA or DA.  It's nice to have those choices.

We have several.

I pay to play the game.  While i enjoy the work other players have put in,  you will never see that from me.

I actually really enjoy a few of the large maps...  again when there is a minimum of 500 during US prime.

It's on the beta forum

There is only going to be one map in AIII because you all moan about maps

Yes, please do, please show me in my original quote where I said I was not having fun.

Please stop reading into what I said your own likes, dislikes or wants or wishes.  Read what was actual written.  I have never said anything about “fun”.  Please guncrasher, please show me the quote.
