Pretty crappy gameplay the few times I occasionally log in a month. Player created problems however, not the games fault.
I trust you guys will run this down the tube if what I witness is a nightly occurrence.
I agree that there is some odd play.
Last night I logged in for our squad night (yes there are still a few squads that do that) and a few guys were hitting the Knits. How that got started, I dont know, but there was nothing going on on the Rook front. CO logged in and saw what we were doing and once we captured that base he loaded up a mission to continue on the track so we could use GVs to run troops. After a couple base we were close to the strats so we pushed for the next base and gooned that one as there was no GV spawn. Next mission was a bunch of bombers to hit strats. We hit HQ, city, ack, and ammo hitting them all pretty hard. After that we made a push for a base farther north on the Knit front and was held off as the guys started loggin for the night.
The bases we took were lightly defended, and for the last two before we hit the strats the defenders were hanging out at the spawn point in Wirbles. Had our guys ignored them they would have been sitting there twiddling there thumbs, and odd way to defend. Looked more like they were trying to stack up some GV points.
Personally I suggested we switch to the rook front after the strat hit, but Im not a leader, but a follower in the squad so we didnt move. Its also early in the tour, lots of people are looking to pad there scores so that brings in odd play as well (had a 38 attack our base the other night, I upped to engage and once he got his ord off he ran home as quick as possible. It was just to two of us
We have always had this type of play but you didnt notice it so much due to the numbers. There was always different types of fights be it attacking bases, defending bases, GV entanglements, strat runners and even the occasional furbal, but these things are farther and fewer between so the crappy play stands out.
For me, Im happy to still have the game and enjoy playing when even I get a fight I like even if they dont last too long. Its kiinda like golf. If you really think of it, why do people play golf? Your out in the sun, swinging golf clubs, hunting for your golf balls, trying imposible shots from the ruogh/woods, walking 15 miles and swearing up a storm. But there is always that one shot that drops on the green and stops where its suppose to, or that long putt that has a big break yet it goes in, or the drive that seems to launch strait and rolls forever. Thats why they keep coming back for their golf games, and its why we keep coming back to the game. The one good fight you have and say"WOW! That was a blast!"
