Why do we persist with Early and Mid war given such small numbers use them. Is there anything to be said for amalgamating them into Mid war and having another off/on peak late war MA for people who want to have a very low cap arena for those not flying in squads who want to make an individual difference. Just an idea and there may be objections to this equating to score padding/Milk Running etc.
My view is :headscratch: on this one but a friend and long time player seems to have become seriously disenchanted with the more busy off peak game and the resultant feeling of hordeing when he is playing on his own outside his squad.
Choice is often a good thing though I realise not allways ;)
Anyone have any thoughts?
-
Yeah ... leave it the way it is ... for those who like them. No need to get rid of them and spoil it for other people so some can have yet another LW arena.
It would be no sweat off HTCs butt to simply create another LW arena for what you want ... without disturbing the EW and MW arenas.
-
do you fly either the nidwar or early war arenas?
i find it amazing how many people don't flyy there, but insist on criticizing it.

This. There is nothing to be gained by closing any arena.

Not that I matter, but if MW was shut down and I would be out of a game. MW is why I play.

ealry war and mid war are fun for ppl who dont like to have a good dogtight and some spitxeen or 262 jerk come in
-
i have more fun in midwar and ealry war then in the other arenas.
-
i haven't been in early war in a loooooooooooooong timer.......but in midwar.........the fights are great.
-
I love flying in both when off-hours comes on. ick.

.....and why do people insist on trying to close them? They have nothing to do with any of the other arenas so how would it help anything?
-
If THEY don't use it - they see it as pointless.
Just closed minded fools.

Was kind of hoping "early war" would be a little earlier.

How early did you hope for? 1939-mid 1942 is fairly early.
-
I just fly early and mid war birds in LW cause I'm insane.... Hell how many people see an I16/Spit1/109E and just think "no problem" to only find out it is a problem. I do, sometimes, take a look at MW arena from time to time but when I'm actually on, LW off hours has 60 people and MW has less then 10. Aslong as I have access to early and midwar planes I'll fly them.

Hang on a minute before anyone steams in with both feet. I assume then there is not an issue of scarce resourses in which case just make another arena with a low cap please, maybe before we start telling anyone they are a fool FFS. Take it easy chaps :salute

why in the world would they put a cap on an arena that doesn't ever come close to its limit?
-

I'm with ya there! We can really do without 2 LW arenas also.

Skuzzy has posted that the servers that are used for the game arenas have not hit 10% of their capacity, and this was back when the numbers were higher. No there isn't an issue with resources.
I don't think another arena is going to do anything. One large single arena WILL NOT happen again. HTC believes that it creates a "toxic environment" and stifles growth of his company. The problem with the game/arenas is the community. Until the community is pointed in a better direction you will have the issues most are complaining about.

I would like pre-fw190 and p38.

They have that. WW1. LOL

It's basically a two ride arena as it sits.

Yeah? Which two?

The only two that the majority of the main arena would fly if they found themselves banished to the early war arena.
-
I don't care what the LW numpties would fly if they can't get their LW Hotrod rides. I'm still waiting to hear your opinion on what the two planes are in your "two ride arena".
-

i agree.
-
Look at the early war arenas as good places for beginners to cut their teeth on.

Here.....I quoted it for you since you missed it the first time.

i would more look at the ew arena as one of the places to get some of the best fights ever......presuming that some people like imadot, 1duke1, and others that actually like to fight in close quarters were there.........

Why must people continue to create shades accounts and then play the "spoon fed" game? Instead of directly answering a question, the thinly veiled, paint with a broad brush answer is given. You DON'T know which two, but you finally get cornered and the result is crickets chirping.

i'll try to phrase this in such a way as to not gain a vacation.....
they are little kittens. they could not accomplish this type of fun with someone face to face. they feel safe, thanks to the anonymity of the intardnet.
what they should remember though, is that there is a very good probability of other players living near them. i know there's at LEAST half a dozen within an hour of me.
and pipz is a dork. :noid :devil :bolt: :airplane:

Pipz is indeed a dork. :neener:

His "question was answered before he asked.
Had he actually read the thread, there would have been no reason for his question.

So what you're saying is that the LW numpties would only fly the P38 and 190 in EW? Those aren't even the LW models, so I doubt anyone from LW would stoop down so low as to fly them and risk their precious bank of perkies.
This whole discussion is nothing but another thread of "LW is the bestest arena where only the coolest play, so we should get rid of every other arena and force everyone to play where we want them to play".

Maybe you just like griefing.
Yesterday in the main arena, I went on the country channel and said "B29's 30k heading south over XX base."
2 minutes later you typed "Zoney, did you just switch countries to say that ?". You then went on saying I was lying, because an arena message had just showed showing a guy landing a B29 and the points he had. I then explained that it must be another guy in another B29 because the one I had called out was still over my position. Then you went on to say how much of a dweeb I was when I played a different game, Warbirds, and how you have films of my dweebiness and you go back frequently and watch those films.
I then responded with "I dont even know you sir, <S>".
:salute
Well sir, This isnt Warbirds, I do not play like a dweeb here. And your lament of "All you did was bail in Warbirds when you were about to be attacked in a buff Zoney", probably does not apply here because if you care to check my score you will see that after 18 months of playing here I have never, ever bailed, in any aircraft, period.
Again sir, <S>. I am glad you are here but if I may ask, please don't bring your baggage from another game here.
Sorry for the HiJack gents,
-
Midwar is a very fun arena IMO, wish more people flew in their. I also find a great deal of fun in arenas with not many players in...don't know why just do.

Have you ever stepped into either the EW or MW arenas?
ack-ack

Icepac has only spent 4 minutes and 36 seconds in the MW arena for the last 3 tours.

Yeah? Which two?
he doesn't know...he hasn't played in the MW arena long enough to bring up the clipboard to click on the Hanger to see what planes are available. Unless he's one of those idiot-savants that can take in the whole picture and completely understand the full MW mechanics after only playing in the arena for 4 minutes and 36 seconds.
I also think that we won't see any further replies in this thread by icepac.

I made no reference to the mid-war arena.
All of my discussion pertains the early war arena.
Also.....Zoney misrepresented what I said to him on 200.
He said "I don't know you" and I replied that I had just found and played some old warbirds movies and saw more than a few where he bailed in front of me when I climbed to 30k after his high buff.
Aces High is not warbirds.
My experiences there with him have earned him my contempt.
If Zoney has changed his ways.....bravo for him but he must live with his damaged reputation because of his actions.
I'm willing to forgive but I never forget.

you seem to have ben around the intardnets long enough to already know this.........but be very careful judging people by what you see in game, and what you see here on the bbs.
i made that mistake once......i judged an entire squad to be nothing but a bunch of tards, because i let one of their members get under my skin....which i should not have done either.
thankfully, i realized that mistake, and have been able to apologize to them(even though i'm not sure it meant much to them).
regardless of your warbirds experience with him..........he may well be a totally different person than you "see" in game.
just sayin........

well have to say midwar is'nt to far behind early war .went to both of them to find 5 rooks 0 bish 0 knights in ew i went to knight killed 2 rooks then they started hitting bish.and as far as midwar 10 knights 0 bish and 2 noob rooks .oh good fights there .........ya right ...oh there hitting bish ...and there's a few people that posted in this post that do fly a lot in MW and where they fly the knight's not much a fight though they make sure they have the alt and pick .... the game turned into a joke
