Time for RR arena HT?
« on: January 03, 2002, 09:39:00 AM »
I know, it's been debated forever but given the horde of AW rr peeps and newbies comin outta the woodwork, perhaps a rr arena would provide a bit more serious flying in the MA.

The constant litany of how do I start my engine? who needs a gunner? combined with the whining, screaming and gang banging are enuff to wanna make ya start yer hair on fire and put it out with a hammer.

I vote for rr. Heck, I'll even volunteer a couple hours a week to "staff/train" Anyone else feel the same?

Dmax, it'll pass. Folks figure out what to do and those who have too hard a time figuring the key strokes would even if there were an RR mode.  Where as an abominable split in the community such as AW had with seperate RR and FR never goes away.
 
 I'm banking that HiTech will never compromise the FM (as he's stated) and I also think that the forced introduction of easy mode in WB's was one of the straws that broke the camels back for not just him alone at I-Magic.

 oh and tater "RR"!  

Just wanted to say that for old tymes sake :D

But by far the best thing to do is fly the CT!!!!  Or if one must stay in the MA just ignore the questions or take a moment to help.

No, it’s not time for a RR or should there ever be.  There is a learning curve but hell learning is most of the fun.

We don't need an RR arena for that type of thing.  We have a training arena which they don't use.

I frequently go into the different arenas including the Training Arena. I see numerous new people asking for A Trainer or if there is any on available to help them in the different arenas. I suppose some of em might learn provided they had someone to teach them. The Training Arena isn't nothing but a furball area for the most part. There has only been a few times I actually seen trainers in there working with anyone. Don't take this wrong, The trainers do help, its just not organized IMHO.

If the CT is for the big boys, why do the "big boys" only hang out 20K over their own field?

Sheeit, I shot down 5 allies in a 190A5 over/around their own base and proceeded home to land when I dropped in to check it out.

Ain't exactly difficult...

I am all for a training system that works. I know some other online flight games had it and I for one found it a good thing. I hope that HT finds a way to improve what we have now.

As far as RR, I would not use it, but I fail to see how it would hurt.

No RR.

Training arena is nothing but an FFA. I try to help some folks out but I avoid the TA like the plague. Don't have any admin rights and if you ask some to leave you alone to train someone, it's like a dare to them.

combat trim was HT's very clever version of easy mode. its better in the fact that it in no way compromises the flight model yet gives newbies a much easier time flying their planes.

Of course, I only see what he posts here and what he does in the MA.  I know virtually nothing about the man.  I think its important for people to realize that we don't really know squat about each other.... definately not enough to use words like "hate".
