Got on to play this evening and the arena was locked, that's ok though, being pigeon holed into these crap arsed tiny furball maps like that joke of a uterus map is just as irritating. No new maps, new planes only about every half decade or so, catering the game to furball whiners who say they can't find a fight in a war game... I've been playing AH for a long time, and I've never once thought about looking for another flight sim, but the other day when I logged in and saw that uterus map still up, I logged and went to google. Why not quit screwing with the maps and let the late nighters play on the same map as everybody else? If folks can't find a fight in a freaking war game, then it's time for them to go play poppit or tetris, not screw over the other half of the community so they can play fish in a barrell.

I get tired of the furball point padders getting their panties in a wad when the win the war guys say something. Last time I checked, everyone is entitled to an opinion and rule 4 allows for that opinion to be shared without a troll coming in and acting like a 6yr old bully to a 4 yr old. You wanna troll go find your little troll dolls and fight it out under your blankets. :noid

It's nice to know you beat the other team, flying up for 15 minutes and shooting at/getting shot at over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over gets freaking boring. Taking a base puts your country in the spotlight but people want THEIR name in the spotlight. Bunch of children.  :old:

ommmm :headscratch: :headscratch: I don't care that the war was won... It used to restart the map... now due to a bug, the arena closed for the night. If you like playing AH then you would understand... because if you keep winning the war at 2am, then there will be no arenas open to play in... and no wars for you to win.

So make people stop winning the wars til HiTech wakes up.  I doubt they knew this would happen, hence bug, and since it happened at 2am they can't fix it instantly. :P
Also, you can't win the war in every arena, so there will always be an arena open, picky buggers :D

It is usually won late at night. I wonder why that is.  :headscratch:

With fewer players on, it's easier to get the necessary numerical advantage for prolonged time. You hardly see a perk bonus modifier of 4.5 for a side (like rooks had 2 hours ago in MW) when there are 300 players on, but often when there are less than 50.

htc is catering the game to one group of players.....you are absolutely right about that.

 they are catering to those that pay their monthly payment.

 it is not htc that decides what types of fighting goes on. it is the players.

You guys crack me up.  I'm sorry your arena got locked in the middle of the night.  Use the opportunity to try something a little different...a different arena, a different plane.  It's just a few hours during the middle of the night on one night.

Crap I'm sorry gents the arena was not supposed to be locked after a war win, When entering the arena you would not be able to play but only see this photo on entry.

"If it aint broke. Fix it till it is."

Didn't know you wanted to keep the sector radar at 75 ft, because thats what cause the bug.

It was not the war win that caused the issue but simply the arena reboot.

When we changed the radar alt we also changed some arenas while they were locked.
When we saved the settings the lock flag was also saved.

So when the arena restarted it read the lock flag and stayed that way.

Next host release the lock flag will always be cleared when an arena starts. And we also removed the lock flag from the saved settings.

The Vguys were nice enough to quit taking bases after they realized that it would shut down the arena, but others, kept trying... and when there aren't that many people playing, it isn't that hard to win the war.

CAP, read this. its from another thread in the wishlist.

It is the towns. You can see that statistically. The number of captures per played hours had been very stable for years. The moment the new towns were introduced this number radically changed. Which is no wonder, as it takes much more effort to kill more buildings (which also means the time frame for a successful capture is much smaller), it's more difficult to see if all are down, and of course it's much easier for a small number of defenders to hold a town.

The knowhow, respectively the attitude of the players doesn't change that drastically from one tour to the next one.
With the next release we will be making some adjustments for this. The new town release was never meant to be harder to capture.

even with the massive hordes, the town is still hard to take. mistakes are made, there's more buildings, etc. itd be hard even if people knew the perfect way to take the town out
