Title: Just A Idea For The AvA arena.
Post by: Husky01 on April 17, 2007, 08:56:42 PM
Just a thought but with the growing boredom in the MAs mabey during a week where nothing is planed the AvA staff could have the big maps up. (donut trinity okansas ext.)  Could be a good change in pace and could possible get a bigger crowd into the AvA arena!

Thoughts?

Thanks for the input Husky,  I can't speak for the entire staff but there are times where we have strade from historical setups just to try some things for a change of pace.  However your  timing is a bit off since we did one this week with plane setups.   I wouldn't expect any of the staff doing that again for a while(maybe eight months to a year), since the main focus of the arena is historical setups.  We do have one large historical map that you may like but it's really not designed for land base capture like you see in MA..

I dont know if maps are the answer Husky. The smaller maps with closer bases lend more to quiker fights. That being said, I would really like to use the Ozkansas map for something.


As for growing boredom with the MA. I wonder how many MA regulars are feeling the same way? I have always prefered the CT/AvA, but I also used to enjoy the MA quite a bit. Right now I cant stand the MA and I have to pretty much force myself to fly there. I would chalk it up to burnout but I dont think thats the case this time.

nope the fights in the MA are seldom that.  it's more like running after players like sehob, grim, shaunBN and that Kev367th guy.  that mindset permeates the MA and it just sucks.  the AvA isn't much better though, you get players that only up the easiest ride, hang out in the ack 20k over the fight waiting to jump 3-5 v 1.  glorification has struck our game just as surely as it has the rest of our society.

In the MA with it's greater numbers there is more of a chance to find the occassional good fight.

880 Squadron is coming back to AVA on Thursday nights starting this week. Hopefully some of the other squadrons who used to fill the roster will follow suit.

Let's give it a shot and see if we can start a war.:aok
