Title: Please, disable external views in dueling arena
Post by: 2bighorn on September 01, 2010, 03:33:06 PM
Ongoing discussion: http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,295820.0.html

Dear HiTech, I'd bribe you with nicely aged single malt but Skuzzy said you're honest man and you're not taking bribes. Guess I'll have to drink it myself  :(

Has hitech ever given a reason for why it is enabled in the first place?  Or is it just one of those "cuz I said so" types of things?

It was to accommodate transition of H2H players to AH arenas.

If this thread bothers you so much, just read another one.  :rolleyes:

Personally it doesn't affect me. But there are events in DA (like Squad Dueling League), where F3 is unfair advantage when used (many vs many, SA advantage). I did watch several films and noticed that it is used more than I have thought it would be.

IMO, if former h2h folks need it, why not setup special arena for them?

I find it a lot easier using F3 to fight. I can lead them a lot better that way. I don't like to do that though, it's almost cheating.

It probably won't happen. Not too long ago the arena settings got changed and F3 was accidentally turned off. Someone (unwisely) posted a thank you thread about it to HTC with a number of supporters echoing that change. All that did was call the change to HTC's attention and it was turned back on immediately.

This just brings me back to my same old whine.  We are told if we want to furball to go to the lake - even Skuzzy has said this in the past. However, the lake environment with free perk planes and F3 contradicts the balance system that HTC has set up in the main arenas to make the game more playable and fun for everyone.  It doesn't make sense.
