I like the arena fast
« on: July 10, 2002, 02:08:53 PM »
You know its funny that when people get what they ask for its not enough.  “I want a P40, I want early war stuff, I want!”, and whamo you get it.  Now I’m slowly seeing the “but everything is too fast for me to fight”.

Too friggin bad in my opinion.  I think it’s great some are getting their new rides of choice but now sparks of arena changing, perk adjusting, and rolling plane sets are following right behind.

Let’s be sure to change the arena based on the newly formed AVG squadrons.  :rolleyes:

Yeah lets make it so it’s equal all around and force the community into a set group of aircraft that are acceptable.  Rolling plane set, I’m not on often enough to fly the aircraft I want.  Got any other ideas that involve players with less than 30 hours of online time?

Perk points you say.  Ok, it’s been my opinion all along either perk them all or unperk them.  If they’re all going to be perked, who decides how much the late war aircraft will cost?  It makes little difference anyway unless the perk value is set high enough to deter from use, and that would be too high.  Building perks is easy, thus the “perk” arena would just fill with late war aircraft anyway.  It would only take about a week to build the points necessary and at a leisurely pace at that.  Not to mention if everything is perked new players should start off with the minimum number of perks to pay for the highest cost aircraft.  Maybe even granted this amount at the beginning of every tour.

An area arena?  So what happens when 90 percent of the community all try and fly from the same late war area?  Or being able to fly late war aircraft into the early war area.  High speed winds to make boundaries is just a little to gamy.  

Stop trying to fly my game for me.  I’m doing just fine without your help.  Oh and if I outrun you because I know you have advantage and choose to leave the fight.  Work on your aim then and get the shots in before I haul ass.

CT doesn’t work for you, oh well try a TOD or any of the scenarios.  Wait, isn’t that the real reason we received all the early war stuff this release anyway?  Wasn’t there a call for more early war aircraft to enhance scenarios from the CM team?  Seems to me it was.

If it’s your decision to field a Civic at a demolition derby don’t be pissed when the station wagon waxes your ass.  Don’t try and force me into something slower because you’re getting frustrated at not catching me.

"An area arena? So what happens when 90 percent of the community all try and fly from the same late war area? Or being able to fly late war aircraft into the early war area. High speed winds to make boundaries is just a little to gamy. "

an early war area would be very small and in a map as big as 512 there would only need to be empty space for seperation.   If 90% of the players wanted to fly mid/late area (as they do now) then they would still have more fields to take off from than they did in the old maps.

In short.... If you liked mid or late war planes there would be no change that would affect you.   You could ignore the early war area.   Those who liked early war planes without being harrased by later war planes would simply fly from that area or.... if they liked a "challenge" could up from the mid/late war area.  

An area arena would simply mean more choice without penalizing anyone or "forcing" anyone to do anything except not fly late war planes from a few bases way down out of the way.    You couls allways flyu any type of plane you wanted no matter when you came on or how seldom you played but you couldn't ruin the experiance for others out of selfishness.

Lazs, you got a good idea with the early war concept, "Arena in an arena" concept, and we actually agree on alot of points...It would "sell" much faster if ya just quit insulting EVERYONES gameplay except YOUR squadron...is that so fugging hard to do?  Whats up man?  Try it. Try to do it without insulting anyone.  Doubt you'll listen (You'll think "Why should I?") but at least I tried.

Nice "Hi" back the other night by the way :rolleyes:

But doing that would be like having a back pain and fixing it smashing your toe with a hammer!!
