Who is having the numbers - subjective survey

[Wiley]

60-70 fly FSO, it has zero negative effects, in fact it has positive effects, as were just posted.

That means nothing though.  Scheduled events where people show up (more or less) on the same page about what they will be doing at that time are just not comparable to the main arena.  The settings they use for Monday Night Madness also work well for what it is, they would be a horror show in the main.

Like Mak and Violator, most of what I want to do is defense.  I like to fly to control airspace.  The description of the two lines of alt monkeys with empty space in the middle until someone commits is exactly what I've been seeing the last few weeks.

Not sure which is worse, in the times before this dar, I can remember defense basically being nothing but NOE whack-a-mole because attackers could hide what they were doing trivially.  It was not tremendously fulfilling either.

IMO as far as gameplay goes, defending a base with aircraft is your worst option most of the time.  The best defense is generally resupply.  To my mind, that should not be, but it's the way things have evolved over time.

How do you know he doesn't?

Because changes would have been made if he did

As far as I know, Hitech has not been in the game much, except during the recent outage issues. I have suggested to him, that he got on the game anonymously for 20 to 40 minutes a week. As far as I know, that has not happened.

I am not aware of any Arena settings for the Proximity Dar, of course I could be wrong.

I have no reason to believe there isn’t a setting for it. I also give HT enough credit that it could’ve gone catastrophically wrong when he implemented it and he would have needed a quick way to undo it. I fully believe it would show in events like FSO and scenarios if it wasn’t adjustable. Of course he could chime in and tell me how wrong I am…

In the old days I’d defend with a spit 25% fuel. Now days I will not up a capped base. I come up another and go after the enemy source base. I hate defending a capped base.

I’m sorry you guys are all wishing for things that are just from days past and to need it let go.

I play for an hour or two a night if I get that time at all, which I feel is probably the norm for a lot of people. The less guessing I have to do the better.

There just is not enough people anymore. It’s barely getting over 95 a night here in the summer already. Yes I know there’s the occasional spike for this night or that squad here and there, but it’s getting less and less and less. No need to rehash this conversation.

Not gonna let it go. There are enough people. You wouldn’t have to guess but you might have to look out the window.

I trust the progression that’s already been shown several times by the fella who started the thread in the first place.

You been saying the same thing for a very long time.

I honestly don’t think you pay attention to MA numbers. I posted it on 200 knowng you’re playing. We are over 95 many times. Last 2 FSO night we hit exactly the same number two weeks in a row 152. Many nights we hit over 100 EXCEPT Wed or Thurs, because no ine seems to have sqd nights thise days.


I’m burnt out on proving you wrong over and over. If you want to stick to dooms day that’s your choice

But its summer numbers and we still hit 110 to 152 in game. Prove me wrong.
152 is absurd for summer.

His numbers do not mention actual MA numbers, different subject.

Regardless of is this bothers you, or doesnt..     it creates pretty lame gameplay as mentioned by lilmak.

Not having to look around, and having some toejambag sitting in a tree with a tank marking your position is lame.

I was one that advocated for this type of dar prior to being implemented... now i will eat crow and admit the cons outweigh the pros.

[Dadtallica]

That is a terribly wide sweeping generalization. There is not lame gameplay all around. The same people are playing every single day.

This game is subjective, it’s not up to me whether or not you should enjoy it.

I prefer to know what’s in the air, you don’t have to.

I am all for Moving back to the old radar settings.
 
If for no other reason, it is a move back towards combat simulation and from away from Arcade type game play.
The hunt is part of the reason I started playing combat flight sims in the first place.

Initially I didn’t really care. People were more upset about the kill messages. It didn’t take long for me to see what was developing and detest it.

[caldera]

One thing that should be done is eliminate ground vehicles AWACS capability.  Since airplanes only get a vague red square where the invisible GV is lurking, make it the same for GVs looking at their map for airplanes: they get the same vague red square.  Quid pro quo, ground critters.

I think the radar settings in FSO are just about perfect. You gotta have your head on a swivel and you have to really look around which to me, seems more realistic and adds some excitement. I like the kill shooter setting as well as you need to watch out for friendlies when you are prayin' and sprayin' like me.

Last week in FSO I re-upped along with some AK's and a couple squad mates and we headed back to where the big fight was. We were gaining alt in the puffy clouds and I was surrounded by friendlies. I figured it'd be safe to take my eye off the sky for a bit and watch a second of the ball game on the TV across the office. Sure enough, 4 seconds into doing that, one of the AK's is yelling for me to break. Of course I was late in doing so and Finny had deftly jumped me and sawed my tail off. Settings that lead to perils such as that along with the camaraderie of folks flying in such conditions is why I'm still here.

Yeah, I agree! The kill shooter setting as well. Yes, all good
