Why no late war arena available Saturday Oct 17, 2009? Does anyone know? I was flying in the Con Arena because that appeared to be a late war arena era but when flying against A1 all of a sudden it changes from Rook to Knight to Bishop for no apparent reason. Asking the question “does anyone know what’s happening in this arena?” several responses that HiTech is controlling the arena, OK so what does that mean? Controlling it how? And more importantly why? Have the rules changed? I take it that all this occurred because of the Convention. Do I get charged for today? Most member of my squad bailed because we couldn’t figure out what the new rules were for this evening. In the middle of trying to run Knight troops into Rook A1, the base becomes Knight A1 before any troops hit the map room and then in a flash changes to Bishop. I don’t want to pay for this type of game play. Why were no normal late war arena provided?

I was waiting for the first "I don't pay for this" posting. Took a bit longer than expected this year. :D

Sorry guys but I fail to see what reading the arena message explains, other than nothing but "watch your ass". This is my first year playing AHII so would you please explain what is so "THHpecial" about the "CON" arena.

Aces High is having a convention right now.
This weekend.
There are people that have paid good money to show up and have face time with the actual HTC cast and crew, and hear news, ask questions, play with each other face to face (bringing their computers), and often during this time HiTech himself will do something to the main arena for their benefit (maybe to show them something, or to enable flying PT boats, or enable guns on the RV7s, etc -- typically referred to as "the evil Con mission" etc)
So that's the story. You happened to get caught in the Con arena.

All the old timers know what's happening, and like HiTech in Santa's sleigh on Christmas eve, it's something most of us look forward too. In this case, all the convention goers get some kind of special ride for a couple of hours on Saturday night of the convention, and the rest of us try to find them and shoot em down.

Ok, I want my F-22 Raptor and A-10's then, also all variants of load outs that go with them.

well we had about 360 people split evenly before i logged. It gave the old feel of a Massively multiplayer fight with a proper furball swinging relentlessly between two fields. I didn't have to go looking for a fight or swap fields for 2 hours. It was intense and fun.
I can't comment on how many guys were online when the con mission kicked off. Just thought it was a little funny that the caps didn't remain in place so that the Con mission could get in the same arena....

Well I for one had a good ol time last night. Was big fun once HT gave Bish A1 as we had no bases any close to that area. I even shot one of those FOKRs down. I'm already working on killing wife-ack for next years Con.
:salute to all at HTC and da Con goers.

You beat me to it.
HOW do some people make it thought life not paying attention.
It is one night of the year. Why would anyone whine or complain about anything that happened in the con arena.
I was perk farming made about 125 perks in less that and hr three sorties. :devil
-
It apparently is more than one night a year. HTC left the arena messed up so that Rooks had the advantage. I'm all for fun on CON night, but jeez, clean up after yourselves when you're done and put things back the way you found 'em.

You related to the OP by any chance?

Switch to rooks if having an advantage is that big of a deal to you.
-
Having an advantage is not what I'm after - a level playing field is.

Have you tried giving blue arena a spin?

Have you tried giving blue arena a spin?
I did, but with only 8 players on each side (and 5 bases flashing), there wasn't much of a fight. Will have to wait until cap kicks in and numbers getting better. ;)

The playing field is NEVER level. If it was it would always be a stalemate. One team ALWAYS has an advantage.

Or, dare I say it, Mid War :bolt:

:headscratch: I all how you look at it. It was so lopsided I went perk farming three runs over 125 perks. and I only landed once :banana: :x
Was just about to put together a 262 raid when the fun eneded.
Next year I will be prepared. :joystick:
If anyone expected it to be a normal arena they should have read the message board.

Which is actually kind of funny because he is a bish, and bish usually have the most #s...And even if they don't have the MOST players they usually run in large packs..
-
Why would you not like to fly in the con arena?
During the evil con mission I shot down about 6 or 7 of the super twittlers and made 248 perkies in 1 hour.
Thats good hunting my friend.
And i shot down hitech too!
