Just wondering how others feel about the new 50% capture instead of 33%, personally i dont like it, but what do you guys think?
It appears that the maps are very slow to change, or wars to be won,
:aok <>
-
I don't care much for who "wins the war" or anything related to that....
but I will say it is getting really tired with the same map up for over a week in LWOrange.
so in that respect, someone reset the map already :furious :cry
-
If the rooks and Bish keep gangbanging nits like they did all weekend maps should go quick.

This slows the reset down. Rooks/Bish need to own 50% of two countries bases to win. So gangbanging one country does nothing to reset the map.

I like this furball island map it lends itself to good furballs unlike the others. I like not having to worry so much about the war winners it allows me the opportunity to go out and hunt down the hordetards and shoot the flocking squeaks down. I like it when a country captures all of furball island and the crawLpuppies howl long on ch200 about the injustice of it all. I like how the BoPs abuse the .report system and get people muted for one week for disagreeing with them, all the result of the frustartion and duress it causes them when they can't win the war. in short gentlemen for me HTC has struck the perfect balance.
maybe the next thing will be for those players prone to circumventing the 32 members per squad rule to break it more by having a total of ten to the tenth BoP squads. this in an effort to win the war.
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIII like it.

As usual the so-called generals either don't know how to read or simply can't understand what they do read.
I'm really surprised there haven't been bug reports about the maps not resetting after capturing all of one country's bases.
-
I don't think the majority really care about winning. It seems to be about who is taking over TT bases and then punishing them for it.
-
Still no entertainment value in being crushed by eny and getting it stuck to you by two countries flying la7's and getting a perk bonus for it. The dar in blue lastnight reflected almost no bish/rook fighting.
Heck at 2am there was a bish cv with a rook cv right behind it both attacking 41 and no cv group was attacking the other.
Then again nits seem to be thier own worst enemy lately I started out a rook, went bish and was squaded with my old aw buddies as nit. Nits are alot slower on calling cons, 6 checks, and never EVER deack a field. Where I noticed rooks communicate pretty good and most bish will brave ack to take out a few.
Boils down to teamwork.
-
All I know is that for weeks now I can count on the TT/Island map to be up in Orange and the Baltic (?) map to be up in Blue.
Yawn.
-
The map we have now is a good balance between TT, CV usage and furballs. Just variety is lacking.
Seems over the last few days Nits have been getting hit hard nearly makes me want to go fly them again. But usually i cant stand having to squelch all of the pre-teens.
50% of each is a little high. Maybe lower it a touch.
But i'm with storch on the reset thing does make better fights when people realise there is no point in taking anymore undefended fields in a 40 player horde (Bish).

the way they play is not how I like to play. I played that way as a noob when I was in JG3 but it got old incredibly fast. I would never even consider applying to a squad like that. the whole concept of flying around with all those players going from base to base hoping for no opposition is anathema to me. they do provide plentiful targets though and often times I get to kill 5 or 6 in one fight even though it may be those same 5 or 6 against l'il ol' me.

he actually meant "enema":rolleyes:
and im lost on how someone can "abuse" chat report? if someone is vulgar and abusive and i hit report...then it is up to HTC and the monitors if it is substantial enough to take action. if you dont like losing privileges then i suggest being civil and staying within the rules.
oh and dont berate in a vulgar manner someone who you know has 20 guys on ch with him....fyi
its a game guys...have fun with it:aok

Not sure how the report text system works.
However if there is an automated component like the mute bot I could see how.
Say it runs like this. After 10 reports to the mute bot a player is muted.
I could see how a particular group could abuse this.
If it works different than that , I am flat wrong.
Anyone able to clarify how system works ?

So..... If I am flying for the Rooks I will be better at communication with fellow Rooks?
If I fly Nits I will just suck ungodly at everything?
So what do I get if I fly bish all the time? A cookie?
I as well as my fellow AK's rotate to the low numbers when needed. We don't sit in one country all the time. I like being called a horde when you fly as a squad. What is the point of being in a squad then? I have done alot of GV-ing with dr7, this past weekend him and I were shooting at each other! And you know what, it is fun!! This is a war game, not real life war. You are not going to get shot for switching countries. Heck I got to shoot at my CO one night... not often you get to do that!

Lowered it to 40% in LW today, will see how 40% runs.

i understand what you are saying bronk..i dont think it is automatic or the very folks getting muted would be organizing "mute" attacks on folks...also doubt HT would allow an 8 day suspension without a staff member okaying it.

Yea storch I dont fly anymore I just sit in tower and type .report storch because I have no other good way to spend 15 a month.:aok

same wave length as me bruv,
would like to see more maps of this style, but rotated every week or less, and say 40% ownership required.
p.s, we have 40 player 'hordes' which are just team work;) , and you have 40k rook-o-naut pilots :D

"maps... as in...plural??? With an "s"???? Like: more than one?????
:confused:
:huh
I don't understand.
-
plural because theres 4 arenas running at once
so four maps running at once
capiesh?
:p
:D
-
Teamwork is one way of putting it.
I prefer "Lining up in an orderely low alt fashion in preparation for my next 10 kill + run ;) "

Thanks HiTech!

Yeah, but all four are the same island map with TT, aren't they....?

:rofl you said teamwork and Rook in the same paragraph. Might be pretty good communication on the rook's end but as far as capturing bases and so on I think most would rather vouch the fields than kill a town.
lol oh and if it's not a mission you better plan on getting 10 of your buddies to bail out over the town because isn't no one bringing troops until the town starts popping again.
Not that I'm complaining, but I think each team's grass looks greener on the other side of the fence. But as far as team work, if it's not a mission, the only team work us rooks have is when 10 of us are chasing the same 109. :lol

It's entirely automatic. Believe it still stands at 10 reports (from different individuals) for a mute. No mods or HTC personnel monitor the reports in real time.

Well now I could see how a multi wing squad could abuse this.

they (the BoPs) just did that to twinboom for no real reason other than spite. the banter I saw on 200 that day was nothing out of the realm of the typical. I know I rag on the BoPs in general for their lemming gameplay mentality which I find aborrhent but not all BoP members are bad. however there is a group within the group that are real pinheads, these few are the real problem. this latest incident involving twinboom should be looked at closely, in my opinion twinboom is due an apology. these troublesome BoPs members are a pariah and this abuse should be made known to the community in general. perhaps revisions to the .report system need to be made.

Ok Storchie, just who are these members of the BOP wings that are doing this? I know it isn't me and I don't even monitor ch 200. You have had a hardon for us BOPS for a long time and frankly, it's put up or shut up time. I would have as much respect for any BOP that caused unjust grief for another player as I have for you for your constant triads about our squads. I know one night there was someone on our squad channel constantly doing salutes to enemies ad nausium and I warned him many times to knock it off or I'd report him myself and I ended up squelching his sorry buttocks. I think it was drunky or drunker or something like that. I even remember somebody creating a knock-off squad with BOPS in it. The bottom line is I don't really care but I do care about respectful or even semi-respectful behavior by my comrads towards our fellow countrymen and our adversaries. Just for the record, I don't believe I've ever reported anybody for anything.
All the Best...

no doc you are not a problem. I personally am not bothered by any comments directed at me no matter what their content. I have a very very thick skin couple that to my very high level of self esteem makes me impervious to critizism. a negative comment directed at me washes off of me like water from a duck's back, like a duck I enjoy it.
I was also muted for a week some time previously after a very long typed exchange with the BoPs. that would make two players so far that have been muted for basically arguing with not one player from your squad but many. just as your squad tends to spam anyone who differs with them in here on the BBS, they do even moreso on the text buffer.
I suspect that the level of frustration experinced by some of the BoPs because one player single handedly spoiled the BoPs plans to take yet another undefended base, then taunting the BoPs on 200 about it is more than some of your members can handle.
I can't name names because firstly I don't keep a record of who said what to whom and secondly if I did I still wouldn't name them. they know who they are and they know they can't compete on any level.
