Title: Tank Town Arena
Post by: Dr_Death8 on August 18, 2010, 07:19:14 PM
Here is an idea, how about trying a tank town or GV only arena for a week or two.  :x Not really a need for 2 WWI dueling arenas so you could always try it in place of one of them for a week or so   :aok   :salute

Long as it big and you don't get killed the first 2 seconds you upped and didn't even move,then I'm all for it.

It wouldn't have to be too big, and the map would need to ensure that the spawn points or bases are far enough apart to allow an individual to use tactics, rather then spawn in right at the battle like can happen. Maybe should try messing around and develop a map for something like that, but the Mediterranean map currently in the AvA may be suitable, never really checked it out...  :salute

So long as it doesn't turn into another WWI. If it will, I'd rather see HTC invest time into placing massive flack batteries throughout the maps, programed to hit all ord carrying planes within 3k of vehicle spawns and bases  :devil.

Probably be a good idea to have a terrain builder build a custom map first... I would be willing to give it a try, but between a 15 month old, work, going to school for my MBA, and never doing a map, I don't think I will find the time.  A set-up similiar to the TT in Trinity, but at a grander scale and mixing in begger cities and strats?? :salute

Don't get your hopes up, this isn't going to happen any quicker than a "fighters only" arena, or a "win the war only" arena.

Everything in this game is here to be used to have combat. If that means having a bunch of GV's in a line so an IL2 can roll in and pop them then thats whats going to happen. The counter to the IL2's is to have Ostys and Wirbles around to cover the tanks.... kinda like fighters to cover the buffs.

Your time would be better spent changing and learning new tactics than it would be to try and design a new arena.

We used to have Tank Klub in that area but the tardlets in the DA decided they wanted to drop ord on us.
trinity....
Only probably with Trinity's Tank town is nobody uses it....

NdIsles has by far the best tanking spot of all the maps

True that is a good area. Bunch of bomb****s come flying in there as well.  That is why suggest TT arena only as a trial.  :salute

No one uses it, so its pointless for one person to up there, expecting to find a fight. For the furballers, that is a reasonable and viable option, since DA lake is almost always populated.


The solution for one problem won't always (or even usually) work on a different one.

Nouse in going to tank town on any map these days. Bomb tards do nothing but use them for target practice..

What Bronk was trying to get across is tat it isnt a viable option because it is loaded to bear with tardlets who fly Tempys, gang everything and only go for the HO.

And the fact that the spawns are to far from any action. Takes forever to drive to the base if its the map I'm thinking of.
Title: Re: Tank Town Arena
Post by: Nemisis on August 22, 2010, 06:07:44 PM
yeah, its a long drive in the DA. About the same distance from the spawns to the actual Vbase in the NDisles TT, I'd say.

Considering one of the main intents of the WW1 arenas is to use them as a defacto test server to test out new stuff before its introduced to the MA, maybe propose that the 2nd WW1 arena be used in the same way but for ground vehicles.  This way new stuff intended for the ground portion of the game can be tested out prior to release in the MA.  I think there might be a more receptive ear to having a TT arena if there is also some added benefit to having one.
