now that HT has finally seperated scores for EW MW LW.
how about in LW arenas, set it up so that so that no base
captures can happen unless there are great then 50 pilots
logged into that LW arena.
right now, in early morning, the milkers run the bases in LWs,
and can really screw up the map before the main group
of pilots log in morning/afternoon.

Get rid of non capturable bases as it was before. Squads will be making elaborate attack plans now !! WTG HT!!

NOT a good idea whels. You would then be taking away part of the game for a portion of the player base. Those 'off peak' players are playing at their peak times, remember this game is played internationally. How much fun would you have if you logged in at 9pm on Friday night and saw a message saying, "sorry, due to time settings base captures will not be enabled for 3 more hours"

so allow the "fun of few" to ruin the fun of many. cant count how many times I've logged in to a new or even old map, that went from pretty
even sides, to 1 or both enemies capture us down to a few bases left. only because they took bases while very very few people where logged into
the arena over night.

Actually off peak players are not that much affected.
Why? Because one LW arena has always more than 50 players, even during lowest off-peak times.
Basically the "50" limit would protect only one LW arena, which has usually less than 20 players at that time.

So those <50 players get less for thier money just because thye dont log the same hours as the american majority?
wake up, theres mroe than one continent with AH members.

I have fun every time I die in there :aok

Simplest answer Whels.....if you log on and see the milk runners milking....up a plane and stop em........make em work for it.....increase your kills to their detriment....

I have to completly agree with Laurie.
Why would HTC limit the fun of one group due to the fact that they play at off peak (U.S.) times. Honestly, whels, if it really bothers you that much than quit your current job and find one with a different time sceduale. Then you can defend your chess peice to your hearts content against the evil milkrunners that have made you cry so much.

That's nonsense.
I am an offpeak player. When I log on there is always only one LW arena in use, and this one has never less than 70 players, so we offpeakers would still get the same opportunity to capture bases as the american players.

Yes lets forget they pay their money and are entitled to their fun as well.
The only person that really seems to have a problem with it is u.
Sounds more like, take away the fun of others for the enjoyment of u??
Dude half the fun when i log on taking all our bases back.

Lusche I see what your saying. However, lets forget about the number "50" as I think he just used it as an example. From whels' post it sounds like he's just upset because the other teams take all the bases and he has to try and recapture them. So if they implimented his suggestion for the 50 player no base capture and the fields were still getting taken then he would ask for the rule to be changed to 70 people, then to 80 (you see where I'm going with this?) untill the arena looked they way he wanted it to look when he logs in.
His post is nothing more than " :cry I want things my way, not matter whose fun it ruins :cry "

It gives them something to do when they log in :D

Which early morning time zone? That's funny. You got a 24 hour, always running, clock.
NY time. I play all arenas, around the clock. 3 AM crowd undoes what the 8 PM crowd the previous day accomplished, to be re-written again with the 8 AM Senior crowd. Can't get that base at 10 AM? Bet I can at 2 AM and most likely by myself and in LW or any of the others.
Milk runners? You mean bombers? Not true at all. Everything goes on.
I especially like the LW guys saying just the noobs and dweebs hangout to EW & MW. These guys should go on over and see what really goes on. A lot of very good players are to EW & MW.
Yesterday morning, Rooks, 8 AM crowd, we were into real estate captures in the northern area of the 1st LW map. We used everything. Granted, everybody else was sleeping or off to work.
Once, the California crew go to beddy-bye, it gets rather fun with just the nocturnal crew that can't sleep until about noontime here in NY.
I'd like to see the perk points and squad affiliation separate, too. And guys quit making folder adjustments in their favor so they can't get killed.
But, whatever, go with the flow.

before you "almighty know-it alls" go off and tell someone they should get a different job, or tell someone they are whining, you might orta get to know the person you are flaming.......just a suggestion
everyone reads a post, then turns the post around to fit the reply they come back with.........
people should think, and give suggestions, and grow up!
just out of curiosity does anyone posting to this thread, have a clue why Whels has that particular handle/username/gameid? don't answer that...it doesnt matter
what matters is Whel's commitment to equal gameplay for all........for the last 15 or so years.......
-
Eeeer.....I didnt flame, disrespect or disagree with what Whels wrote.......to me the simplest answer is, if you see people milkrunning, up a plane and stop them.........if Whels (or anyone for that matter) thought I was having a dig........there was no offence intended or implied.

Oh, and I'm not a know it all....for the record, I know little about this game....but am putting myself up the learning curve in my own manner!
*Edited cos i'm a halfwit*
(and if it wasnt aimed at me, ignore what I wrote....i'm at work, very cranky n grumpy)
-
I am having a hard time seeing why this would be needed. No one has any control what the map will look like when they log in.
It doesn't matter if it is a few people in a relatively empty arena or hordes in a well populated arena -- bases get taken all the time regardless. If you come in to see your country down to only uncapturable bases, then all that means is you have a challenge in front of you.

I've been playing this game for over 5.5 years.
I have grown into a furballer type player. I play for the fight. Field Captures are too simple for me. I can get fields with about 6 people.
I want to turnfight, the 10 minute fights like I've had with fuzeman's bunch. The kind of fight that even if you get shot down, leaves you so drained, that you shake, sweat, cuss to yourself and hit the hat's like a crack addict looking for another rock. The kind of fight that forces you to muster up the willingness to up again. That is what drives me and keeps me coming back for more.

Make it one MA again :D

lol, who cares what the map looks like the next day when ya log on,
there is still going to be a "front" to fight on and work to take bases.
Penalizing the guys that fly the off hours is bad idea!
If you want to stop peeps from taking undefended fields in the wee hours,
have HTC scap the multi arena experiment gone bad
they will still be able to take some fields, but there is sure to be more resistance
