State of the game?

[SouthPaw]

Hey all, former rook thinking of returning to the game. I'm just wondering how the game's doing atm. How many concurrent players and what the deal is with the arenas. I checked yesterday and the was no early, mid, or late war arenas just some open melee thing. Is there no more open war maps?

[Zoney]

The Melee arena is the new Main Arena.

The new game is wonderful, come join us.

game is doing good... we do need some of the old players back... every member of the family is missed... the new game has lots of eye candy and some great improvements.... I will not lie there are some growing pains but it is nothing big...

Thanks for the quick replies! Good thing about the Open melee just being the main arena, I was scared it would just be a big dumb furball like warthunder. One more question I had is how is the new beta running? Usually there's a bunch of bugs with these type things.

There is no more beta, it's more of a live test now. If you look in the Bug Reports form, there's a 'gumbo' of issues related to screen stutters and some freezes that a handful of players are having that HTC can't recreate on their systems, that they're trying to find the root cause of. It's pretty perplexing, but it's to be expected with a new release of this scale.

They're just working on ironing everything out and I'm sure AH will be well on it's way forward in a few months.

   Hope to see you there.  Check with folks about some things to help tweak your settings for optimal play (due to new version changes in field of view and certain visibility issues with tracers = both ground and air vehicles).

AH3. It's fun.

Come on in..the waters fine.

Since we are in airplanes, it should be "The air is fine."

Love it!  Overall much improved, especially eye candy, hope you rejoin us!

Thanks all! I'll have to jump on the offline tonight and see how she feels, wish i still had my two week free trial lol

[Shuffler]

Run the DX9 version if you are using a monitor. The DX11 version will have stutters right now.

Ask for another one.

[SouthPaw]

Wait does HTC actually provide new trials if you've been away for a long while?

[TheBug]

I can't answer that for HTC.  But long ago I once asked for a 2nd 2-week trial after having been away from the game a bit and there had been some new additions and they hooked me up.  It can't hurt to ask, the worse that could happen is they say no.
