I've been playing off and on for a while and this is the first reset I've seen with the new requirements (IE 90% of home bases, 40% of each countries).
Does this happen often at all?
Oh and... good job Rooks :aok
-
we let you win.
:cool:
-
Surely, but my question still stands: How often do resets happen with these new requirements?

you won nothing, the war in this game is over since 09.13.2006,

In LW arenas, maps usually take between 2 days and 2 weeks to be reset.
In EW, you may even see 2 resets a day... guess why. ;)

Doesn't happen as often, unless it's a small map.. Resets typically get hampered by a few things.
1)Overall the sides are normally fairly even, except in off peak times. So the maps tend to turn into stale mates or two countries gang on the third. So the end result, there are never enough bases captured, before the other teams gets a grip and fights back.
2)Typically when one country is on a roll and looks like a reset is close.. That usually means one of the other teams has been beaten down and lacks the momentum to recover. (There is always one country ganged by two)
That lack of momentum tends to cause the players on that team, to go fight in another arena or log off. That has the adverse effect on the team that's on the roll, because their ENY gets driven through the roof, (typically 15-29 when close to a reset). The high ENY ends up causing a stalemate and tends to allow one of the other two teams the chance to get bases back.
Team that's on the roll gets ticked off at sky high ENY and being only 2 bases away from reset and logs off. Their momentum is soon lost and one of the other team's momentum takes over.
End result, you are lucky to see any resets other than late at night by tool sheders, or on the weekends.

Now September made me shiver.
With every time I hit enter..
Arenas split into 4.
ooo what an eye sore.
now I cant remember if I cried when I read about that sad divide...
But something touched me deep inside the day....
AH died....
o bye-bye, Aces High.
Flew my Pony to the levee,
But the levee was dry.
And them good old Squads were flying’ together as one
Singin’, "this’ll be the day that AH dies.
"this’ll be the day that AH dies."
Did you write the book of codes,
And do you have faith in what he chose,
If the Bible tells you so?
Do you believe in Split in four,
Can small furballs save your mortal soul,
And can you teach me how to milk empty arenos?
Well, I know that you were in love with it
`cause I saw those numbers up again
You both kicked off your shoes.
Man, I dig that one big room!
I was a happy teenage broncin’ buck
With a new stick and bit o'l luck,
But I knew I was out of luck
The day AH died..........
Ill finish the rest of the song later tonight :)

and stop calling me shirley.
:mad:

WOOOOOOOOOOOOT! GO ROOKS!!! :) :aok
I'd have to say map resets happen very quickly when everyone in the arena hates the map. First one to capture 40% of one country fields usually wins because the other country says "YAY get rid of this map".

Now for one years we’ve been split in 4.
And newbys come right of nickelodor,
But that’s not how it used to be.
When the community begged for the king and queen,
In a thong they borrowed from Skuz ey
And a voice that came from you and me,
Oh, and while the king was looking down,
The community started to settle down.
The courtroom was adjourned;
No verdict was returned.
And while skyrock read a book of pwnz,
The milkers milked alone the dark,
And we cried and cried into the night
The day the music died.
o bye-bye, Aces High.
Flew my Pony to the levee,
But the levee was dry.
And them good old Squads were flying’ together as one
Singin’, "this’ll be the day that AH dies.
"this’ll be the day that AH dies."
Run and HO in a summer hoard.
The pickers flew up on a perch ,
Eighteen k high and diving fast.
But augered right into the grass.
The players tried change it back ,
With their spirit on the sidelines in a cast.
Now the half-way mark has gone and passed
While the whiners played a hi pitched tune.
We all got up to fly,
Oh, but we never got the chance!
`cause the players tried to take the field;
The boss man refused to yield.
Do you recall what was revealed
The day the music died?
o bye-bye, Aces High.
Flew my Pony to the levee,
But the levee was dry.
And them good old Squads were flying’ together as one
Singin’, "this’ll be the day that AH dies.
"this’ll be the day that AH dies."
Oh, and there we were all in one place,
A generation lost in cyber space
With no time left to start again.
So come on: dale be nimble, dale be quick!
Dale flash sat on a joystick
Cause nikis are the newbs only friend.
Oh, and as I watched him on the stage
My keys were typing in words of rage.
No angel born in hell
Could break that coders code.
And as the flames climbed high into the night
To light the sacrificial rite,
I saw HTC laughing with delight
The day the music died
I met a vet who sang the blues
And I asked him for some happy news,
But he just smiled and turned away.
I went down to the sacred boards
Where I’d heard the music years before,
But the man there said the music wouldn’t play.
And in the streets: the growen men screamed,
The whiners cried, and the rebles gled .
But not a word was spoken;
The church bells all were broken.
And the three men I admire most:
The Skuz, the Fuzz, and the holy coder,
They caught the last train for the coast
The day the music died.
o bye-bye, Aces High.
Flew my Pony to the levee,
But the levee was dry.
And them good old Squads were flying’ together as one
Singin’, "this’ll be the day that AH dies.
"this’ll be the day that AH dies."
They were singing
o bye-bye, Aces High.
Flew my Pony to the levee,
But the levee was dry.
And them good old Squads were flying’ together as one
Singin’, "this’ll be the day that AH dies.
"this’ll be the day that AH dies."..........
NOTE: Obviously this song is just for fun and is not meant in anyway meant to be a bad thing just something for us all to lol about :)

Yeah, it was quite a shock that day.:(

I have witnessed several map resets, I have been part of quit a few myself, Rooks to tend to win the most wars, and contrary to what others may say also suffer from the worst ENY. However if there was no ultimate goal of winning the war, then knowone would take bases, all you would see is giant furballs.
If that was the case however then there should only be 1 base per side in a TT setup, how is that for a map??
Truth is some people try to win the war, others say u should never try to win the war. truth is u wont ever please everyone so u might as well make the game challenging. anyone can fly around and shoot down planes all day, but working together as a group for a ultimate goal is a whole lot harder.
