Title: Why is the flight ladder so slow/dead?
Post by: timid on June 20, 2006, 07:08:08 PM
Just wondering why flightladder.com doesn't seem to be used by alot of people. I think it would be awesome to get some actual 1vs1 and squad vs squad ladder fights goin... just doesnt seem like there is anyone to fight really. 4vs4 squad fights would be awesome :)

Maybe people don't know about it? I am sure there has to be folks who would want to do something a little more competative than land grab! :)

Every once in a while someone like yourself will post here asking about it in an attempt to stir up some activity there. Honestly, IMPO, this is a completely different game than it was 2-3 years ago when the dueling ladder was going strong. From what I've seen in the MA, most of the players on line there are out to capture bases. (there's nothing wrong with it, just an observation) Alot of the better sticks in the game who were strong on the ladder, have moved on as well. It all seemed to happen once AH2 came out.

I signed up for it a few months ago, but things got so hectic with the baby being born and work, that I wasn't able to follow through with it. I want to do it, but I don't think I will/can until this winter when things slow down at work.

Yup, fighting is the last thing people care about anymore.  Now take that base!

I signed up for it a few months back, but so few people were active i've just not signed on it since. I'm more than willing to get on it if more people show interest.

ive noticed that too... once AH2 came out we lost alot of old timer player base and the game has just slowed down a bit..

I'm on it, but it also requires checking my email which I never do.  If ya want a fight challenge me Timid (or anyone), but send me a PM on here so I know to check the darn mail :)

I tried it a couple of times but found my memory left people waiting. Im terrible with appointments. Maybe a flightl adder night would be better and guys could go in and do their fights all together each week.

The good pilots that are left don't care about being the best, so they don't need a fight ladder.  The ones that suck but do care about being the best, can only achieve their goal in the MA.

I think Bugs summed it up.  When you just start this game you want to be the best etc.  As you get on in the years here, you just want the best fights and a lot of em.

no ever challenges me....prolly cause theres little challenge in it.

It can be a lot of fun, but the waiting, unanswered challenges and lack of interest by the rest of the player base are not so much fun.

Not about being the best I don't think, not for me. I enjoy a good 1vs1 duel vs people who are experienced in doing them and are a challenge.

If that is truly the case then call out on 200 any night. There will be plenty to challenge you in the DA.

Just ask on 200.  Someone will go DA with you.

Ladders are about practice or fun.  They are about who is the best.

I'm knocking people down the ranks already! Not because I've beat em, but because they are declining challenges! Heaven forbid somebody actually accept a challenge:p
