9:00PM is the middle of the night for you? We took great pains in scheduling our events so that European players could participate. And we also try to hold an "in timezone" event every 2 weeks or so for our Pac Rim/Aussie contingent.
Yeah baby yeah!!! For 30$ investment per month I can fly in total four max two hour historical events? And few large sccenarios per year if I can wake up early enough and skip work next day?
Do you see the problem with events? If you want historical action, events are not good value for money, atleast if you live outside of US. I can't plan my weekends around events having girlfriend and bunch of other hobbies, I can fly only in random times and I have seen total of one event announcement while I was flying online and I had to skip even that because I was just leaving to gym so I was unable to attend.
*sarcasm mode on* So we should just run them at random times, with only a 15 minute announcement prior to holding them? Sheesh. */sarcasm mode off*
No, run something that offers historical action all the time maybe. The answer should be quite obvious? Sheesh.
That was sarcasm too.
Sorry, but an HA arena is still just an arena. Its not a substitute for planned events, and large scale scenarios, no matter what you say. Basically an HA is just another free for all arena, with just slightly different rules.
Historical sides and limited planeset with accurate map is just free for all arena with slightly different rules? roadkille I say. In contrast I could say that events are free for all arena with slightly different rules that is only open in extremely limited time.
Arena like that (historical everything) would give possibility to run event like sorties and missions unlike current MA. And it would be possible to do it all the time so it would suit players that cannot participate most events because of their schedule. And number of those players that cannot participate events is high I think.
Your arguement earlier in the thread was that there are too few events, and they are low quality.
Don't twist my words my fiend.
I stated that there is too few events to satisfy pilots that want to fly historically, atleast for me. I didn't say anything about event quality, or did I?
So I disprove that, and you change your arguement to "Its not convient for me" and its not as good as full time arena. Well, I think most people would agree with me that, these points are just as invalid.
Ummm... If most of the events are not in convinient time for me or many other pilots doesn't that mean that it is not as good as full time arena where they could fly anytime they want in the way they want?
[/quote]Promote the start of an HA all you want, I don't care either way myself, but I understand yours and others desire to have one.[/quote]
If you look messages I have wrote in this thread I haven't said I want new arena like AH because I don't think it will work. So I don't promote HA.
I have stated merits of HA in this message to counter your claims but it still does not mean that I want HA to AH because I don't think it would work. There is one popular arena that tells what kind of sim Ah or WWIIOL is. Underpopulated HA means nothing.
But all I ask is that you don't wrongly slander and denigrade the Scenario Corps and all its hard working volunteers to try and prove your point.
<snippage!>
Those hardcore pilots are the ones that run events in WB and would run them in AH too if we would have enough of them. If AH cannot atract enough hardcore players I doubt we will ever see events such are seen in WB which means that AH degenerates to aerial quake with few late -40's jet planes and prop planes that never saw action.Ok, where is the slander part?
I think you have said that you have cancelled events because not enough pilots have shown interest towards them? Right? Doesn that mean that there is not enough historically inclined (hardcore) pilots to support events? Huh?
Not enough hardcore pilots -> no events and no HA.
