It'll be fun.. For the first two weeks.
:noid

Had a great fight over a V Base this afternoon. Started as a lame noe horde, but turned into a good scrap. We lost the base but we have more where that came from.
-
Yea, milkrunning is easy like before the new towns... :bolt:
-
It's a lot of fun. The enemy has much more willpower and purpose now. It feels like a war in there again! :rock

Nice fights tonight <S>

you too grizz..I am trying to get better in the K4...although we didnt meet in those,it is becoming my main ride of choice anymore.. :salute
-
Is it the new setting? Is it the "extended" Titanic Tuesday with it's single LW arena? Is it just the time of the year?
Just as I was logging out I noticed 534 players in LW. That's almost 50% more than at around the same time one month ago (wed, 17 nov) and more than 60% more than at around the same time three months ago.
Of course that's only a momentary snapshot that doesn't prove anything, but it's just delightful to see :rock
-
well,I dont think the front is going to be as stagnant as it has been..Taking bases and defending them I dont believe is the KILLER to the game as many think it is..Everyone on bish tonight seemed to be having a great time..fighting gv'ing and taking bases..It really does have a different "VIBE" to it.
Thanks HT... :salute

WTG HTC!!!! The Fun aspect just went up by 50%!!! Thanks for new settings. :x
You must be joking!
Game has become soooooooo stale & boring.
HTC has sure lost the plot big time recently.
Been playing for 10 years & the last 12 months has been the worst playing experience I have ever had . So much so that I have deleted my account.
1990's graphics - resources wasted on Battle Zone ( was never going to fly that thing) - knee jerk reaction to noe's to change radar settings ( then changed them back) - more resources wasted on ww1 arena- giving mouse instructions on take off ( what the heck for?) - town no longer needs to be down ( then why change the town in the first place?) the list of plot losing goes on & on.
You guys are like a drowning man grasping at what ever he can to survive.
Well you will not be getting my money for the next 10 years.

Particularly as my flinger slipped in the calendar and I compared the wrong days of the week... That kind of stuff seems to happen more frequent now... calling Dr. Alzheim :old: :(

How can you possibly say it's stale when there frequent changes the game. New toys to play with (panther, betty), new radar settings, different towns, WWI arena, and a willingness to make adjustments to enhance game play abound. Sure, some things didn't work like maybe someone thought they would, but the ballz to make a change, see how it works, and make tweeks with subsequent updates can not rationally be considered "stale" by anyone with a reasonable mind.
Sure, some of the changes weren't popular with me, but often times, were later adjusted for the betterment of the game. If you don't want to play with a mouse, then don't, some people do, the option is there, it isn't hurting you so WTF not?
I suspect that more people are coming and staying than leaving as a result of these changes. Personally, I think the white flag over the town ROCKS! If base captures become TOOO easy, HTC can up the percentage necessary, and bang we have a new game.
Womba, since you canceled your account, you should cancel your forum account too, fire up your xbox and play with yourself. Your continued input into a game you don't play is as worthless as ice to an Eskimo. All I read when you type is "blah, blah, blah"....

I lay no claims to the whys and wherefores for the future or anything else for that matter...but
Last night was a hoot, there was a ton going on, fights galore, etc.
The new settings are probably not perfect for everybody but it seems to have helped for now anyways...
<S> HTC
-
I love the new phrase..."ALERT A66... WHITE FLAG!"
It's like the yell "NOE" of old... :)
-
It is kind of nice to see the white flag up there especially high enough to see from the base.
It kind of gives a heads up as to where things stand before leaving the tower.

So long, and thanks for all the fish.
So Sad, It had to come to this.

yeah, because land grabbers are lazy low forms of game play. they hate hard defended bases. they like hording easy takes. and it is always the same n00bs running together.

2 and counting

Now all we need is BLACK FLAG to keep the Bish away :neener:

I love killing them. But they kept killing hangers last night. Then when we would up to defend it. We would kill a few of them then they would move on to horde another base. Pathetic

im fine with blowing the base takers up :aok and i also like supporting those raids now by flying my squad to surrounding bases at alt and beating the crap out of the people that are trying to save the attacked base :D

Well, the new town settings have nothing to do with the hangars.
But the new settings actually promote groups of these players to stay and "finish the job" now since their goal is always in sight. Before with the settings once a defense ups and you only have a portion of the town down there wasn't much of a reason to stay. The fights should be better now, and lots more small fights across the entire front line which is great for gameplay. I still think the town %'s need to be raised though to optimize this strategy system. :aok
70%- small airfield
80%- medium airfield
90%- large airfield
:aok

Wow... as a so-called 'LandGrabber' I can honestly say that was one of the most insulting and ridiculous posts ive seen on here in 8 years. I , and my 'landgrabber' squadmates, LOVE a well defended base, makes the take that much sweeter. As for hording we prefer to work together as a squad to take bases and the most members ive seen online at once is a dozen, hardly think that counts as a horde. If flying with squadmates and 'running together' makes us n00bs then long live n00bs.
If you are in a squad and dont work together then whats the point of being in the squad???
-
New town settings for capture is a ridiculous joke. It's waaaaay too easy and fast to capture a base now. Have fun steamrolling maps now.

Given this distinguished position I believe it is not within my or anyone elses position to disagree with his opinion.

Wow!! This thread went way wrong!! :rofl
In another thread almost entirely on the same topic, I had a slight disagreement with what Grizz had said. In here, Grizz is totally in agreement with the point that I was making. :confused:
I suggest to read the title of the OP's thread. Too often in the past, I had logged in to find one HUGE dar bar, and often enough it didn't even involve my country. :rofl
I left my squad to investigate. This allowed me to change country at will. When I arrived in one of those countries, it was as I expected. I stalemate, battle in one area of the map, and nothing going on elsewhere. So, I up and climb the best I can to the fight (not requiring me to go afk for 15 minutes). Arrive at the fight and yikes!!! There are guys 15k above me!! And I can't even see the icons of the ones below me (they look like ants). Soon after, my eyelids get heavy and I log off.
Now, what is it that you guys are complaining about? :headscratch: Rolling bases? Sorry, did the changes interrupt your 3 day battle (cough... furball) for one field? Just waiting for someone to complain next on how their score has suffered. :bolt:
What happened to all of those posts about folks not wanting a challenge? Seems to me the cat is out of the bag. Somethings can be both challenging and fun. Who would have thunkit? Maybe HTC? (below quote from Pyro on CT delay)
(Snip)
Our biggest obstacle with CT is in breathing life into it to make it fun and immersive. While a basic structure is there, there’s a ton of detail work to be done to reach that end goal. Without it, it just has too much of a cardboard cutout feel that’s not going to engage players and hold their attention for long.
(Snip)

The new town capturing strategy is the right step. I haven't seen so many C47 and M3 playing whackaMole hiding out in the bushes in years. Furballs to defend the feild have gotten so intense defenders don't pay attention to the old base taking strategy of the C47 flying the long way around below dar to deliver troops. I noticed this last night while defending several bases and helping take bases. So I tested the observation.
I upped a C47 from A13 and flew at 75ft straight to A7's town where an intense defensive furball was taking place. There was even a Whirbel sitting at the map room. The air defence was chasing after runners in packs on the deck as usual. The Whirbel was facing the vehical spawn waiting for M3's and troops. The town backed right up to the water. At the shore I popped to 1k and dropped troops. All of my troops got out, cons were flying into each other to get back to the town and the Whirbel didn't have time to open up on me before I dove back to the deck to run away.
I got shot down but still saw troops landing in town. The Whirbel madly fireing at them and me. And red guys with egg on their faces. The age of the sneaky C47's and M3's is back.........WAY to Go HiTech..... :aok
-

Agree fully!
Even those self righteous "land grabber sucks" folk love killing a c47..
tho, they probably wouldn't admit it. :angel:
-
of course they wouldn't :P
They just need to suck it up and enjoy shooting a plane with no weapons. Thats about as good as I am with a fighter anyway. Just a target in the sky.
I now have a reason to play again :)
-
But they kept killing hangers last night.
So what were they supposed to do? let you up to kill the troops and not capture a base? hmmm.... :lol
-

....ummmm maybe FIGHT the guys that were trying to defend. If you want to take bases WITHOUT fighting for them you could play off-line.

theres a bish squad that does something strange, they will drop all the hangers except the FH and they circle till someone ups then pick'em as they try to take off, alot of us just upped from the closest field flew there and either killed or chased off the attackers, they never came back, guess they dont like it when you fight back and find some other field to horde, we followed them around all night busting there horde missions

They also have a member that sends you PMs telling you how much you suck and how he can "own you" while he's running away from you.

Game has become soooooooo stale & boring.
Ever think this might be more a burnout problem for you than a change in the game?
Been playing for 10 years & the last 12 months has been the worst playing experience I have ever had . So much so that I have deleted my account.
Hmmm. Then how do you know you wouldn't love the changes that came with latest release?
(I also wonder why someone who's quit the game in frustration goes on trolling the forum. That goes for several people here.)
town no longer needs to be down ( then why change the town in the first place?)
Because the new town looks awesome. Hitec has said that was the reason for it and it was never supposed to make captures more difficult. It's also a lot more fun and challenging for GVs, stalking each other through narrow roads and hedgerows and not being able to see and shoot right through buildings.
-

If you think only the bish do that, try switching countries for a while. IMO, having fought all three countries for plenty of time, the nits are the worst for bringing hordes and capping fields just to vulch, without any serious attempt to capture the base. That's the main reason (along with the related general lack of organization and motivation to work together, with a few notable exceptions) our squad switched from nits to bish.
(Not that bish and rooks don't horde, but they'll at least try to accomplish something beyond having 30 guys circle the same field for an hour racing to see who can get the kill on the poor lone schmuck who tries to up there...)
