Poll: ideal arena balance
« on: June 07, 2002, 03:32:51 PM »
Since there seem to be as many opinnions about this issue as there are players, a poll would be in order.

So, give us your opinnion about the perfect gameplay balance.
In your opinnion on general fun factor, which is the best;

a) Flying as underdog with 2-3 enemies for each friendly?
b) Flying as underdog with 1.2-1.5 enemies per friendly?
c) Flying on fair terms 1:1


Thanks for replying.

Not very likely it seems. You missed the original questions though.

Variety is what I like.  I wouldn't want to be in any one situation all the time.  So I'll choose a, b, c, d and e

d) being: Flying as overdog with 1.2-1.5 enemies per friendly
e) being: Flying as overdog with 2-3 enemies for each friendly

Don't mean to piss on your poll but the perfect balance for me is flying with the BK's no matter the enemy numbers.

Balance is for them little girl gymnasts walking on that long beam,  in war there are no rules about balance.  :)

I believe in country loyalty - sticking with my country through good times and bad, and have done so since I first started playing Air Warrior nearly 4 years ago.  Yes, sometimes we may be badly out-numbered.... other times it is one of the other countries - but it is swings and roundabouts!  Of course, in AW, if we were a member of a squad, we would have to leave the squad to change country, so it just didn't happen in most cases.  I think the fact people can change country and remain in a squad makes it too easy to change.  

A lot of the problem, I think, is people changing country when they see one start to "win the war" - they change to that country to get the points, but at the same time swelling the numbers of that country even more.  I think if restrictions were placed on squad members changing country it would go a long way to solving the balance problems we sometimes have now.

Whatever happened to country loyalty, anyway?  :rolleyes:

I'm with Eskimo.  Also, I've always thought this country loyalty thing was pretty retarded.  I don't get it.  I can understand not liking when your country mates start defecting when the going gets tough, but I think it's great fun to switch sometimes and fight with my teammates and fly with my enemies.  I always end up back with the Bishops, so what's the diff?  This ain't a flame, I just honestly don't understand the strict loyalty (never fly for another country, period) frame of mind.  Maybe some of you gay MAWs can give some input on this too. :p

Cajun you might want to check your math.. 3 countries fighting all 3 makes equal pressure to all sides.

I don't think you get it.... I was saying if all countrys had the same ammount of players you will still have 2 enemy's for every 1 ally so you will still be out numbered 2:1 :)

How about leave it how it is?  This numbers in the arena debate is as silly and inane as "perk the La7!" whines, and yes no matter how you try to disguise it with a "poll", your post is nothing more than a whine.

Basically you want people to play by your rules and how you want to them to play and that's just plain idiotic.  I also notice that you only seem to whine when the numbers don't favor your country but never when they favor your side.  Hypocritical?
