The reason the arenas were split.. The reason for months and months of strife... Was to get RID of the g-damn GANG RAPES by the hordes...
Well tonight Bish had 2x the number of knits, and ***3*** times the number of rooks, and were frakking steamrolling everything on the knit front in LW Blue. 25+ lanc missions at 17k+, missions with 20+ p47Ns with F4u4 escorts on top of that...
And they only had an ENY of 5.6.
I'm ALL FOR corrections. Unlike some folks I LIKE the idea of ENY.
IT JUST AIN'T WORKING! Make it frakking STRICTER!
Such BS is why folks log off. Case in point myself. Good night.

Heh. Next time that happens, Krusty, just switch over and join us in AvA.

A few of us went over to Benny's server in the h2h rooms.

Which arena? Just curious, but if there were that many Bish in that arena, would they probably be badly outnumbered in the other arena(s)? I've always been Bish and it seems like every summer we get all the kiddies & their summer accounts. Could this be why?

^-- I said LW Blue

Well I still didnt see you in a mission.
Frankly this is why the nits are weak.
People screaming on country alert this base, alert that base, ALert the whole front. Well deal with it. People are lame, No one proked troops. No one porked ords. The best is those that log off, and cant handle it. I was extremely pissed tonight. So much so, I said it, to my fellow squaddies, but the bottom line is this, untill you deal with the horde, which most fellows dont seem to really understand, the co-operation of the game play will alwas be what it is. We suck as a fighting unit most of the time. Just face it.
To many chiefs frankly. *****ing about how to nerf the swarm is NOT the answer. The answer is as plain as the plane you fly.
Oh and I got vulched 50 times today :cry My score went crap.

Hmm, I was in LW Orange tonight and we (Bish) were slightly outnumbered by both Rooks and Knights there (but more than holding our own).
I guess you could have changed arenas but I will add that in Orange the Knights were being pounded from both sides while the Bish/Rook front (where I was) was lightly fought.
Frankly when we're outnumbered I have some of my most fun nights. Face it, most of the guys who fly in hoards really aren't that good but it almost sounds more like you ran into a planned mission or series of missions (Bish do that a lot). I like to think there are no hoards, just kill opportunities.
-
So having 55% of all players results in an ENY of only 5.6? I would like to see a screenshot of that...

Hard caps
That is all.

What people tend to forget is there are at least two fronts for each country on every map.
If one country decides to focus all of it's energy on one front it's almost unstoppable.
If TWO countries, independently or by pact decide to focus all of their energy on the third. You can pretty much hang it up. You usually won't have the resources to stop them.
This is where the large maps were good. Yes, you had a few places where the hordes would gather. But, you also had the rest of the map that acted as a buffer of sorts.
And Krusty...I'm with you. Except I have two criteria for flying. If ENY prevents me from flying the plane I like or because of the "Horde", I just log off and try again later. And the "Try again later" part is becoming longer and longer between tries.
-
Looks like I might have picked a good night to miss - and the 2 freakin hours I spent on the telephone trying to get the fraudulent "Mobile Messenger" charges on my cellphone bill taken care of were perhaps only slightly more frustrating than the flying I'd intended.
Seriously, no good answers, just hope it gets dealt with soon...
-
It wasn't that bad once we killed Bish's ord and troops...it kept them from rolling our bases for about an hour.
The first 5 bases they took were pretty much undefended. Those were their bases anyways.
I didn't even look at their ENY when it was 91 Bish, 60 Knights and 57 Rooks..we were just getting hit hard from both sides of the map.
It was aggravating but fun :rolleyes:
WTG Bish for keeping us on our toes:aok
Oh ya..very lame Rooktards:rofl

Hartmann says screw ENY-I'll shoot you down!

I don't recall that being the motivating factor behind HTC's decision.

I have always flown Bish and was on last night. Don't recall the numbers being as lopsided as Krusty mentions, but then I logged off at about 9pm Eastern time. Yea, the bish were steamrolling the nits. I really don't enjoy that kind of fight, so I fought rooks.
Funny thing is: The night before it was the nits steamrolling us bish (think it was the pizza map). I recall one night when we bish had only one base in the corner of the map. Looked pretty bad, but it was a blast until the rooks or nits won the war.
Point is: These things come and go. You just have to learn to roll with it.

3 observations to note being fairly new to this game
1. Float says nobody porked ords, nobody porked troops..................well what is the percentage of players who even know how to identify ords and troops to pork it and if you can identify where to bomb it succesfully. I could make an attempt, successfull i dont know. Thing is there are so many facets to this game to learn there may be a small amount of players who know and been on long enough to strategically know what to do. I am finding myself wanting to do strategic moves in this game to help,but am limited by experience.
2. Eny really hurts a newer player or one that is just understanding certain rides. With me i am getting comfortable in certain planes to help, but when that eny kicks in high i really suck at those high eny planes. It does get frustrating to not be able to fly the plane you are/have spent alot of time trying to learn.
3. Missions are tough to do at times floats. I understand teamwork and all, but i will log on to practice certain things or have a goal in mind to try and accomplish for that night, joining a mission may not be one of them. I have joined missions to help and put in a situation of doing a task i have no idea how to do, either haven't practiced or never heard of it before. I have done well and i have screwed the pooch so to speak. Oh and i have heard the tirades and rants of those people of experience just cream a guy for not doing what he was supposed to do in a mission. That at times may turn people off to missions.
Oh and Floatsup you are really one of the players that shows a newer player how to do something he may not know how to do. I have been on that end so Thank You

Hey thanx dood.
Appreciate it.

Krusty a lot of the steam rolling would padded out if these small maps werent so crowded.
We need two arenas with ALL the maps in rotation.

last night in LW orange: bish were almost 2x outnumbered by knits and rooks individually (bsih 55..knits 90...rooks 90) last night
we were pushed back to our uncapturables by the knits and the rooks were rolling us as well and owned about 5 bish bases....
also the rooks were really stupid and even though the knits owned to their uncapturables were still trying to roll the bish???
we had about 14 BoPs on so we porked all the rook frontline troops and organized some missions which resulted in taking 3 knit bases back....
i do wish troops stayed down as long as they used too...im all for the increased field ack but 10 barracks at a large field really requires a coop mission and then they seem to pop up fairly quickly....seems to hurt the outnumbered country more than the aggressor..
Now a problem was the other night when i was in the arena with a bish advantage and got a pm from STANG "hey the bish are getting rolled in LW blue...why dont you and the bops come over and stop them"
i pm'd back "sure sounds like a challenge" but when we went to switch arenas the caps prevented entry into the arena...
all that being said i really dont mind the current setup...overall pretty fair with some nights being bad..but i remember MONTHS of bad nights when there was only one MA and the country ganging was in full force...
-
Yep, I was on LAST night too in LW Blue. Bish ~50, Rooks and Knights ~95-100 each. Bish down to 7 bases. I had a blast (and a reasonably good night).
I got to play in a BF-110G2, F6F-5, N1K2, P-51D, Spit V, Spit IX, Yak-9U, Sherman and maybe a few more I'm not recalling. It didn't seem to matter what I was flying I was having reasonable success. I even out-dueled a 190-D9 and a LA-7 in the BF-110 in seperate 1 on 1's during the same flight (admittedly they weren't the best pilots but who knows going in)!
Much more fun than fighting with my countrymen over one scrap of food.
-
Yep - I was on last night after FSO and I was in Blue. We, (the Knights) were one V Base away from winning the war at one point until our usual lack of co-ordination and some resolute defending at V65 undermined us.
Sure it would be better if each country had even numbers, but sometimes those desperate last-ditch defence scenarios create some great battles. Last night was a case in point.
Our ENY was way over 20 for much of the night, but it didn't really bother me. The choice to stay was mine and I did have the option of switching to Orange at any time.

I'm sure that if the bish needed more oil they could squeeze it out of your hair.

Hey, just because the Bish had twice the numbers doesn't mean they are twice as good. 3 or 4 rooks could have fought them off by themselves. :p
