Curious: How this is a result of the new arena setup? It didn't happen before that the south country on Sfma was getting overrun?

Well, you can't refer to me by this :)

But my question still stands: How did the new setting cause the ganging upon Bish?

It was a real slaughterfest, but I enjoyed defending against it to no avail.. I knew those Rooks and Knights signed a darn peace treaty.. All of those "cant find a decent fight" guys should have been on yesterday when this was happening.. Fighting was going on everywhere..

We could blame the SOUTHLAND.....  As I have already in another thread.  :) (SFMA is very unbalanced)

But my question still stands: How did the new setting cause the ganging upon Bish?

But the answer Lusche is looking for, from anybody out there, is that it has to do with not having uncap bases.   :aok 

If we had the old "victory" system this war would have been over.

Countries have been teaming up for a looooooooong time! Just a quick search

http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,5880.0.html - From 2000
http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,129694.0.html - from 04
http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,129707.0.html - From 04 as well
http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,200518.0.html - From 07

I'm going to stop now because I believe my point has been proven. The new arena change can not be blamed for this side ganging, or was there this change in 2000 as well?

It was common to have the south country look like that on the uterus map. Sometimes they organized and came back, sometimes they lost and map reset.

Title: Re: I think the new Arena Rotation Bites...
Post by: R 105 on November 29, 2010, 07:25:51 AM
I think we can't still reset a map. I am pretty sure the Rooks won a map the other day. Am I wrong about a reset still being possible?

Just let the ONE"S who know all and know whats good for all players rule this game. Remember it's all about COMBAT not winning the war. XBOX generation forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Although it is annoying when one side gets steamrolled by the other two, I also see the other side of the coin. When the offensive sides are left with the #1 resource to take bases (as in barracks, as in troops, as in THAT is what makes it to the maproom, as in once that is porked it stays down longer than a 15 minute "band-aid" hangar) I am not completely sympathetic.

If you don't at least try to fix the leak at the source, you're gonna get flooded. Duh. :huh

So maybe you can explain how the change in setup lead to the ganging of the Bish, as Oneway claimed? Why can't he simply answer that question?

I for one don't know all. And If I would not care, why would I ask for his reasoning?

its nothing to do with the new setup, bish have had the bum end of the last two maps and also small maps with 300+ on just make it worse. You can pork all day long but you cant overcome 200 v 100 as its was yesterday at times

I don't care what shape the map is in, wars will always have lopsided outcomes from hordes. What I hate is I try to log on at 10pm and the arena is full. I play the log off / log on game for 10 minutes then I can enter the arena my friends are in. I fly for a couple hours and invest a lot of effort toward a fight then I get "Arena closing in 5 minutes". All the effort I just put in is for naught and I have to jump into a completely new scenario.

It's like watching a movie that you have to pay close attention to follow the plot when they start to reveal the killer suddenly the channel changes to something completely different...

Yeah, I like that a lot.

You can stop blaming Lusche for this one and put the blame where it belongs. 

Folks, actually used the mission planner, got a big enough horde to take Port 4 and its fleet.  The last time this occurred, I begged Rooks to stop pursuing the Bishops.  Eventually, I changed to Bishops and had some Me163 fun, although I felt dirty shooting down the guys that I generally try to support.

Rooks got their priorities straight in the next couple of days and were able to reset the map, so the 40 / 40 % system works. 

Answer to single country strangle hold: 

Better balance on base capture.  Smaller groups able to successfully capture bases, will make for more base capture attempts.  Reduce the frustration level for those who do base capture, but have been pushed into the direction of the only battle available.  If bases are harder to defend, rolled bases could be re captured.
