Me, for one, didn't like it much. Sure there were 3-4 big furballs on each front for some dogfighting, but there were just too many hordes. I had a hard time finding a good fight. I'd get on someone and then 3 of his friends would get on me.
What did everyone else think of it? Did you like it or not? Why or why not?

with no major change occuring, my opinions still haven't changed.
still the best game out there!
:aok
-
I like it alot but we need a diff. map
-
Let me start by saying that I like "Titanic Tuesday." It was a little bit of a change. We got the big map with the furball characteristics of the small maps. I think there was something for everyone. 5 squaddies tired to "sneak" a base, which would have been no problem with a big map and two arenas. Last night we were repulsed. That's the game, and win or loose I enjoyed it.

I don't believe this problem is related to "Titanic Tuesday." It's simply a Late War phenomenon. I don't expect a fair fight and don't intend to give one. I can't tell you how many times I have started a 1v1, and had my soon to be kill "stolen" by a countryman, or had my a@@ saved by a countyman. It all evens out. On the other had, I have had some nice long running 1v1s or 2v2s in MW, EW or AvA.
Just my two cents worth.

Other than the constant gangbang on the rooks....it was okay.

Were you in the same Universe as the rest of us? Everybody was getting "banged"! There were DarBars along the entire front lines of all three countries... Comments like yours are why I've always been a bishop or knight. There is nothing better than a rook whining in the tower on 200 about how some "dweeb" just flamed/HOd/cheated/augered him. Bunch of spoiled sports, sore loosers and whiners (most of the rooks are) in my book. [The A8s are a notable exception... I don't understand why they fly over there but ane good guys none the less]
Titanic Tuesday was the most intense action I've seen since the old AH (1 arena) days. Good Idea HiTech!
-
It R O C K S!
-
Titanic Tuesday was a blast!!! I have always wished AH had kept the large arena so that squads could fly together, make more opportunity for large missions, etc... BUT if I have that one night at least that I can count on, I am happy.
As long as Titanic Tuesday sticks around, the way it was last night, I will pretty much keep my lips zipped about the arena caps the rest of the time. I am now a happy camper.
PS: A MegaMonday added wouldnt hurt my feelings a bit!!!:p
-
Titanic Tuesday was awsome!. That is what the game needs to be like everyday.
-
Let's see...on Tuesday I was the victim of the ho, the vulch, and the cherry pick. I was pretty much pwnd the entire night. Well, I did land some kills one time.
I was great!!:aok
-
Two thumbs up!
-
I think Titanic Tuesday with giant map would work.
-
Personally I would like to see one LWM every day of the week if possible :aok

It was fine. No trouble finding a fight. HAd something for everyone if they looked around a bit. Kind of like the old times from days gone by.
I enjoyed it alot. And I got ganged...hoed...shot to cra*....just like the small capped arenas.....just more to choose from with the ONE BIG ARENA.

So what else is new.. I thought that's how this game worked these days. Engage the enemy then his 5 friends jump in.

Got news for you guys. It's all the same. I flew Bish for about 8 months up until October. Mostly good guys the Bish. I have flown Rook since then. Mostly good guys the Rooks. Same whining, same squeakers, same gripes, same everything. It's all the same. Well... maybe the Muppets are different.

err knits was punching above there weight and "ganging" both Rooks and Bish, so dont u say it was a gangbang on rooks...:rolleyes:
Titanic Tuesdays is a good idea. Its not the busyest day of the week, so wont get too crowded, and the rest of the week as 2 MA's still allows there to be some sort of "crowd control" making it easier for newbies maybe?
Titanic Tuesdays can be seen as a MA event really. From the action i saw it was generally squads defending/attacking certain points on the map, not the whole country. This is a good thing, and probably due to the multi arenas "training" us for the last year and 2 months.

Titanic Tuesday was "GREAT"... Loved every minute of it.. Bring it back more often...

Don't like it.
I like running captures and organized missions, but with this arena the map will reset before any one side can win...so there is really no point to playing that component of the game.
Maybe run it with a small map, so there is the possibility of one side winning within 24 hours.
If the idea is just to create massive furball, why not just skip the conventional map altogether, maybe create a hybrid fighter town map, just 3 uncapturable bases, no arena limit...have at it.
Just my 2 cents, everyone else seems to like it and it is only 1 day..so whatever.

Why can't the capture itself be your goal? To me it is a lot of fun to see if we can wrestle a base away from the HA's, AK's, A8's, whoever. If we can, we "win." If we can't, well, we had fun trying.
-
On the whole I liked it. Pointless trying to win a reset though. At best a "Zone" is accomplishable but again whats the point.
I tuck the opinion that this day be best for fighting or training, honing some skills or trying out new ideas.:aok
To be frank it was a refreshing change not to worry about the Bish base capture missions.... no matter how gamey or skilless they got with it. It was refreshing not to bother doing defensive porking. Just let the opposing teams do their base capture thing because, after all, their endeavors were pointless. However, each to their own. Whatever floats their boat.
Some here didn't like the gang bangs. The undefended base captures, trying to bust a base capture mission on their own, being horded in a fight and the list goes on. I see this day as a positive for fighter training or working on an aspect of an individuals weaker points. While some will carry on doing whatever it is they do. I would urge others to take a more positive approach.
The maps only up for 24 hours so brush up on whatever needs attention. Hone the SA. Learn to fight up in the hoard. Try some new moves you read about. Practise squad fighter sweeps or wingman tactics. Take your squad cap busting:aok
Practise reading dar or guestimating where the next NOE attack will be or from and go kill the c47's :D Try out some new base capture ideas or be real cheeky and take a base way behind the lines :lol Do a high profile squad base capture or take a base on your own.
If your a scorer this is a blessing. Look at all those kill streaks waiting to happen. The nuka stuka runs behind your own lines
Yes Sir, It's a positive day. I have some planes I would like to learn to fight better. Have some defence idea's to try out:aok and I'm still trying to get some squaddies to learn to fight up :rofl
Thank you HTC...what a cracker of a day :aok

Triple the Squeakers at the price of one!
The old maps of the past were better as was a weekly rotation.
But I guess a hungry dog will still chew on the same old bone... better than no bone at all.
Throw us old dogs something with meat on it.

It was a change of pace. I liked it. Until wife ack got me.... while in my 262 none the less. I just knew I shouldn't have upped it while the wife was yelling at me!:mad:
-
I'm glad I don't usually fly on a Tuesday
-
The ganging problem isn't the map or the numbers... it is the people that play on it. Literally, you see 10+ guys attacking an undefended base while the other team does the same a sector away, rarely do the mobs ever meet, or want to meet up.
I think it is highlighting the real changes in AH lately.

I don't know for sure if they ever met in the first place. At least by design. If and this is a big if , they put up a samll map....and had a titanic tuesday type deal , with so many players, they may not have a choice.
Be interesting to see anyway. Or , funny.
Each faction of the player base has its wants....and satisfying them all is near impossible I would think. I certainly don't envy HT and crew for all the gruff they put up with at times from people here. My self included a couple of times , though never on the scale of ALOT here on this BBS.

So would I. This concept provided the opportunity for everyone. If they wanted squad ops, that opportunity was available. If they wanted to furball, that opportunity was available. If they wanted one on one fights or 2 vs 2, that opportunity was available. The map was large enough to accommodate all. It would sure be great if it was an everyday event.

Of course then it wouldn't be an "event".

I loved, and 2 Titanics at week with 2 or 3 night hours eachone would be wonderful ^^

I didn't manage to play as I was busy but I wish there was a titanic WEEK every week. haha.
