Title: off hours
Post by: DadRabit on December 30, 2010, 09:18:36 AM
how long will this off hours thingy continue???  those of us who mostly play only during the day (central) are getting tired of this same map with no tank battles and the same old fights every day.  at least put in a larger map where there will be more choices.  i say get rid of this silly off hours setup and go back to the way it was.  good old fashion fun.

I live in a PST time zone, and although it could be done more gracefully (despites Snailman disagreeing with me), I appreciate it. Late at night, the large peak-hour maps are awful as they allow the vast majority of the players to avoid combat. Most people end up doing strat raids, undefended base takes, etc...

I seem to remember members of The Few being major proponents of the off peak arena.

Edit: Actually, I think it was more just griping about the caps.

Why not just have 2 LWM arena's and lose the caps! All this silliness.. :rolleyes:

Scene from training day: :D

Here's a joke, boy. One day this man walks out of his house to go to work. He sees this snail on his porch. So he picks it up and chucks it over his roof, into the back yard. Snail bounces off a rock, cracks its shell all to toejam, and lands in the grass. Snail lies there dying. But it doesn't die. It eats some grass. Slowly heals. Grows a new shell. And after a while it can crawl again. One day the snail up and heads back to the front of the house. Finally, after a year, the little guy crawls back on the porch. Right then, the man walks out to go to work and sees this snail again. So he says to it, 'What the fudge is your problem?'

Not many people do like caps, but we all have our own opinions.

As a european time zone player, I'm fine with the "off-peak" arena setup.

As an european new off hours is just fine, lot better than 2 arenas having 70-100 players each.

True, 5 years is long time...  :old:

Or short .... :D

um

Old days is when we only had one LW MA.

Flew off hours one day last week. Most fun I had in months.... Till the arena closed, the arenas split, Orange was quickly filled and blue became useless. Waited for a while to see if anything interesting would develop. Fell asleep while waiting. Woke up an hour or so later and seeing no improvement.
Logged off

two LWA's a is a fairly recent development in the greater scheme of the game.  Very recent in fact. Old days would be one LW MA

I wouldn't call 4 years being "very recent" in a ~10 yo game  ;)

 I don't mind the off hour thing and it may even work out better for our British friend who play. But I wouldn't mind a random map change now and then.
I GV and this map that has been up may be the worst of the maps to GV on.

I remember it was about 4 years ago that the arenas were split into early mid and late wars. but I thought it was soe times after that that the LWs arenas were split and capped.

I do remember never liking or agreeing with it though. Particularly the caps LOL

Still "Old days" would be one arena. which given the lowish numbers in early and mid. I'd still favor over what we have now

Second LW was up less than a month after the split, after the majority of players had migrated back to LW from EW & MW. It took somewhat longer to go from static to dynamic cap system for LW.

I stand corrected
Must be the cap system Im thinking about then. Either way I'd still much prefer either one LW arena or two two uncapped LW arenas.
Too often I cant get into one and I log off because the other has nothing interesting going on.
