I quit playing a couple of weeks ago...dunno If I'll come back or not. You can see I started this game when it started , getting my prettythang whooped don't bother me. But when the SOB that killed you has to shoot off his big F**kin mouth off about it that gets my goat. If it wasn't for us guys that suck what would you heros base your superiority on?

Yup.  Squelch early, squelch often.  Don't let the bastards get you down. ;)  Hope you'll just take a bit of time to cool down and come back.

"I'm not saying I want to change how people play"

"you can only change the environment to make them want to change"

not word by word but...

"Not word for word but...."

Words have meaning, which is why I get irritated when you change what I say.

I said "consider" changing their style in a different environment. It doesn't mean they have to, nore does it mean I'm forcing them to. Basically it will just mean more people in the arena fighting which means it might be harder to be a loner who attacks undefended bases. If you are a loner who wants to attack undefended bases, than you obviously don't want more people in the arena. So I'm not sure why Hitech would want that as low #s correlate to slow gameplay which means less people playing and subscribing.

Don't quit because of that man. It's an online game.
Gotta learn how to be tougher against online bullies. Don't let them get to you. Quitting doesn't do yourself or anyone else a favor. There's always gonna be dipsticks in online games. You gotta fight back words and stick it to em.
Or squelch them. Don't let them get the best of you, that's what quitting does.

Seems to me he was complimenting you.  Otherwise, why make a big deal out of killing someone who's an easy mark?

Sorry to see you go, but for me, there aint NO ONE with a mouth big enough to make me do what you did. Remember, Squelch is your friend. We do have more than enough, cartoon hot shots, in the game. But there are ways to shut them up. Hope to see you back my friend.  :salute

condensing in someway (my opinion) would lead to more action... at present it is very noticeable when numbers are at the lower end and there is a substantial numbers difference.. the lager number sides have taken to popping one guy at a few bases along a front... they hide in the trees and take a player out of the main focus point...leaving ultimately an undefended base...This has always happened but like everything...with the lesser numbers it has become more noticeable..

Many times a base take turned into a furball... purely through numbers trying for and against the take... now we have too much of a sand box to cover...

We still need to allow bombers and jabo to do their thing and sure flatten a field at the back of the map kill ords and radars at bases to limit a sides function ... but trying to limit... and that is a bad constricting word I know.... the area of base takes to draw more players to one area will in my opinion bring back excitement. you are either on the side that has no uppers due to the power of numbers..or you are working out just how many times you are going to offer yourself to them most times these days... sure it has been like this all the time...however the number thing makes it less entertaining... there is a much smaller opportunity to even try...
I find many times there nothing better (other than the sheer size of them)than those maps where there are no spawn points and there is a cv offshore .... these produce all kinds of action...fighters defending attacking ...buffs trying to sink the ship...buffs trying to destroy the base etc etc etc.... but it is confined and causes a frenzy..and the only reason is because the guys with the boat have committed and the jig is over if that boat is lost and visa-versa... there is no chance of an easy resupply for the defenders so they have to fight to keep that beach side property... This actually goes the same for the no town bases... hard fought fights for them also...and those ones allow for GV fights too.... getting people frenzied will make us waste soo much time..stay longer and sleep less..

I don't play the game to make others happy.

If they whine when they die I have done my job.

You have the aces in hogs,  yaks or spits that cry if you don't turn fight them when they have 3 buddies around...

You have a good fight - win or lose - and you salute but they don't return it..

It's on them and their insecurity issues not me
