I wish buzzsaw would go away.  :salute

+1


There are some real deadspots around the outside of the map, that require wayyy to long to fly to. 

Ding ding ding. Bases not in the middle are way too far away. Who wants to fly 1.5 sectors to a base with 2 cons?

That was Fester's map.

One-eye

Was actually a really great map. Too bad we had to trade it for Buzzkill.

I'm not sure why Hitech wants to encourage lower #s with this map?

I thought they took it out of rotation. I have not seen it in a while or it might just be my luck not to see it when i log in.

most of the time bish roll thru it by 10am
replace it with one of the AH2 maps

I liked before it was changed.

The very high alt feilds were unique and I never had a problem having fun on either of the buzzsaw versions.

You also paid for your car, but sometimes you have to change the oil, lube the chassis, change the brake pads, rotate tires, etc.

Oh you could just pay for the car....  but without someone doing the rest, it will generally not last that long.

For the amount of money we pay we may expect that whenever everyone complains about a map it gets taken out of rotation. When something needs to be done to a car you pay the garage and if there is something wrong with the game we pay HTC.

Also there are many ppl (including me) who offered there services for free and it was turned down or was not responded  2.

Do you think its a good map that makes ppl wanna log on? Or do you think just like us that most of the player base despises the map even if its made by a player with the best interest to the game? Now i am very grateful for the player that took the time to make it, but unfortunately sometimes a concept does not work. The map stinks, sorry.

You/we pay to play the game.

The game is being worked on.all the time.

People complain about a terrain and want it removed.
People complain about not enough terrains and want more.

Not everyone complains.
Some complain a lot.

Some are never happy.
Some are always happy.

Some look for the bad things.
Some look for the good things.

You do not have to offer your services. The tools are available to make a terrain. Anyone can step up and take a shot at any time.

Nothing is perfect.

To me, the main problem with Buzzsaw is the easy accessibility of strat factories.  This creates a situation where field assets are down for hours and a lot of time is spent either resupplying or babysitting bases to prevent sneaks -- the most boring aspects of the game.

The maps sucks, period.

And yes I have and I liked to help. I offered making meshes for the game (models) and Skuzzy said there was no use for that. I also offered making interfaces for the new game and there was no response to that. And you have not answered my question.

You are complaining about the map and say you offered to help...... but not with the problem.

If your question was do I like the map.... not as much as others but it does let me fly and fight.

I guess it comes down to the ability to adjust. If all the terrains were the same, we could really just have one terrain.

Who wants to adjust to a lower #s atmosphere because of a poor map design? Why encourage lower #s?

Two CMs one being the OP even said it's not working. Does that not mean something?

It's a great map for the GV faction of the game. The MA has three factions, furball, win the map, GV. Buzzsaw is 180 degrees out of balance for furballers while so-so for win the map but, is one map out of the total rotation of MA maps for GVers. And here I thought War Online: Pacific would have all the furballers quitting AH3 to play free forever in that furballing utopia.

I've got more than a decade in this game and still understand my $14.95 only gets me into the sand box to play. The rest is on me to do the playing for my $14.95, it's not buying stock or buying my way onto a board of dictators for HTC. And Hitech has rules even about content he has been strickt about since I've been here. He allows players to make maps, skins, and the other things, talk the Easyscore and the CM\AvA guys to see if they need help with mesh.

I made three terrains becasue I was bored with the AH2 terrains after a decade and more, also it was obvious with AH3 Hitech needed new content to compliment the new graphics. Buzzsaw sucks for the furballers and is marginal in it's layout towards inspiring the win the war crowd. It is an MA terrain designed to make GVers and bomber drivers happy and very few AH2 terrains converted to AH3 were making people ecstatic in general since they were same old same old. Anyone remember the original 9k center of buzzsaw that was reduced to 4k after a lot of whining? That screwed IL2, Ju87, and HurriD along with trying to dive bomb tanks over the whole center of that map. Had a prophylactic effect for the GVer's who were whining about being screwed all the time by the flyboys.   

The only thing "New" a player can bring to the Melee area is a terrain if you want to create "new" for this game in the MA. Mesh or "objects" are what is provided in the terrain editor by Hitech. Coming up with an unique and interesting to play on terrain shouldn't be a problem for such creative people who can tell Hitech exactly what's wrong with everything in his game.
