New Player Observations

I just went in the hangar to check on my 38. Who got my sheep?

[Mister Fork]

Is that related to the C-47 that crash/belly landed on A-38 with a tonne of sheep in the cargo hold?

When I came over post-crash, I took this picture - and that's Laser in the right forefront with no shirt. He initially came out that back door with Velcro gloves on his hands (no wonder he belly landed it).

they are being held hostage in another country until you are able to return

  >-------<=Maps use to change every Wednesday. It does not seem to matter which map comes up there is Always someone that comes on and say how much they hate this map. I do not see a problem with how it is now. JUST upgrade and put some of the great old maps back into the rotation.

I always thought something like this would work well too 

[whiteman]

How would it work? Just spitballing:

1.) The required amount of bases needed to win are not capture-able until X time.
2.) Bases stay as is, but if the % threshold is met the map simply doesn't reset until X time.

I don't think a minimum time would hurt, it would at least allow some of the smaller maps to stay up more than 5 or 6 hours.

I didn’t read all the replies but I’d imagine the side would have to hold all win conditions till minimum time expires.

That would eliminate off-peak resets.  I like.

Fake news

Few things I've noticed, not sure if this is typical game play or not.

1. Knights are always outnumbered. Ive paid close attention the last 3-5 days, and its consistent. It seems to be a larger disparity when Rooks/Bish are both invading.
2. There appears to be a lack of organization on a country-wide basis, as-in it feels like most players are just doing their own thing and less coordinated attacks.
3. The game map seems to change daily. I thought the maps stayed in play for longer periods of time.

Looking for insight from more experienced players to understand if this is typical game play, or is it just me being noob?

The Bishops dominate the game play...and it shows. There is a core of people on Bishops that focus on base taking....not furballing.  "No one ever won a map by furballing for their country"

[DmonSlyr]

This gave me a thought, what do you think about implementing a minimum map time?

HiTech

That might actually he a great idea. What if the maps rotated every day or every 6 hours or so, but when the map comes back, it's where it left off from the last time?

Or change the map to a small condensed map between the hours of 3AM -9AM est. This would make the arena smaller for less #s to seem like they would have bigger fights and more action condensed.

+1 to min reset time. 6 hrs maybe? Have to hold map until min time.

What about having to hold map for 15 mins to win maps in general?

I hope they are being well cared for.....  and keep Lazer away from my sheep!

They surely dominate the bailing statistics.

I assume the 80th is still flying low number side to enhance game play 

[JimmyD3]

Make the 24 hour minimum/72 hour maximum Map Rotation Standard, please.   Been asking for this for years, btw.

If a map is reset within 24 hours, the identical map comes up again.  If a map is not reset in 72 hours, it is reset automatically. 
This keeps stagnant maps from hanging around too long and small maps from getting knocked out too quickly.

Three days is not enough time. Maybe 5 days.

Yep.  Can't roll the map in 5 days, then switch it out.
