New Player Observations

[Scca]

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.

What will keep a small easily taken map from remaining, well, forever...?

Another option is what my squad does.  The AKs rotate the first of every month. That way we fly with and against everyone.

Honestly the best part of being an AK...

The timer would start when the map was chosen, not from each win / reset of the map.

I would also like to suggest lowering the max time from 7 (if I remember right) to 5 days.  That way a long standing map will not potentially be running over 2 weekends for a player that doesn't like it.

You're ex-AW right?  Here Bish=AZ, Rook=BZ and Nit=CZ.  Many of the old allegiances still hold.  That should help explain some stuff.

In AW   Az = the good guys
            Bz = the bad guys
            Cz = the odd guys

I was Cz

Why don't you just have the percentage to win a map change on a timer.

EXAMPLE - not real numbers here

1 Hour in - requires 99%

5 hours in - require 85%

and so on.

Let’s keep it simple. 

Hitech is onto something here.

That said, 99% could be a trigger to win somehow...total victory like Axis & Allies the board game. 

Knowing what it takes to win is confusing to new players.  Even some of us who have been around awhile get ADD thinking about it.  A clipboard graphic showing bars or something to visually represent how close one is to winning a map might be helpful.

Just put the variable victory conditions next to it on the clipboard. No where in game asfar i am aware its stated anyway. Only we as vets know the numbers anyway.

edit: i dont know how i missed that big chunk of text in the bottom..
 edit 2: hmm you editted that in when i reloaded the page didn't you. very sneeky

Can't get any more simple that to win.... survive a fight where the other doesn't.

It is shown in the same screen where you look at the current percentages.

Fascinating.   

[TequilaChaser]

24 hour minimum time

72 hour (or maybe 48 hour) maximum time for map rotation

 and I hope for Real life to get back to at least semi-normal, so I can get back to playing more frequently

~S~ & cheers
