Seriously,,,,,,,,,,,,,You have been playing how long? No matter what side you are on it has always been 4 mins to reset after winning the war. Are you so special that because you are 30 mins out, it should wait for you? Why is it so hard to accept 4 mins as an acceptable time to land or bailout and get out of the arena?
I know that it took a lot of effort to fly a plane deep into enemy territory to do some damage and probably kicked some red booty. It can be very disappointing I am sure. Especially if you are on the side that did not win and even if you did, it might not be worth the 25 perks. I get it. But let's be reasonable. You remind me of a kid that wants to stay up 5 mins longer :bhead Not saying you are childish, just sayin!

Woops, wrong thread

:cry. Check war status before you up a long bomber sortie? :cry

If you can't figure out that the war is most likely going to be won soon even after all this time your either..... well we won't go there, or your not paying attention to whats going on around you in the game. If your that oblivious to whats going on maybe the off-line missions might be your cup of tea.
A lot of people work very hard to get that little message to pop up that they have won the war. You can't realistically asked them to hang on for another 10, maybe 30 minutes :rolleyes:

:cry
:P

I'm a long time player and I should know the answer, but, why when the war is won does the arena have to be reset? Is it bacuse they change the map after a war is won? I never really thought about it before, but after the war is won, the country is already reset (we have all been caught at what was a friendly base only now, after the war was won to be blasted from the sky by ack at what you discover now is an nme base.

What is wrong with that... you don't lose your planes because of reset.
In the future you might try calling the office and see if Skuzzy can keep an eye on your flying so that he will not interrupt you. Doubt it will help... but maybe.

Yes. They can't simply change map and players stay airborne.

This doesn't happen anymore.

At least you had a new map up and waiting for you afterwards, yes? Nothing is worse than what you described above ontop of absolutley no map or side change after the map reset (like it did a certain TT a few weeks ago, :furious).

hows come there isn't a metric equivalent for time?

hows come there isn't a metric equivalent for time?
There are exactly 86,400 standard seconds (see SI for the current definition of the standard second) in a standard day, but in the French decimal time system there are 100,000 decimal seconds in the day, so the decimal second is shorter than its counterpart.
Decimal to Standard
One decimal second is 86,400/100,000 = 0.864 standard seconds.
One decimal minute is 1,440/1,000 = 1.44 standard minutes, or 1 standard minute and 26.4 standard seconds.
One decimal hour is 24/10 = 2.4 standard hours, or 2 standard hours and 24 standard minutes.
One hundredth of a day is 14 standard minutes 24 standard seconds, or approximately 15 minutes.
Standard to Decimal
One standard second = 1.15740 decimal seconds
One standard minute = 69.44 decimal seconds (or .69 decimal minutes)
One standard hour = 4,166.67 decimal seconds (or 41 decimal minutes and 67 decimal seconds)

At least they weren't dog minutes.

we just won the war twice in 2 mins.i got 50 perks in each catagory lol
-
Again tonight...
Rtb with 5 kills and a deep strike and tons of objects destroyed...
THE ARENA WILL RESET IN 4 MINUTES
No country won the map...sides are perfectly balanced at 4:30 AM Eastern and it resets with a 4 minute warning
MA is a complete waste of time if your a bomber
Now I know why HTC has lost so many people to WoT
Forget MA
Done

The war had been won and thus we got a reset and a new map.
Only automatic resets result in the kind of message where a timer counts down "X minutes to". Only two events cause this: A won war and the scheduled arena switchover.
The whole arena reset thing is joke
So what should happen in your opinion when a war is won? :)
-
no what happend was,we won the war,got our 25 perks,started the map change count down.then we took another base and got more perks for it.and it set another timer.so we ended up getting 50 perks.

now that is some sound logic :aok
AH sucks for bombers, so they go play a tank game. :rolleyes:
-
Oneway I've got to teach you how to fly bombers. I have so much fun flying at 10-15k and I can usually fly a pretty good sortie in under an hour. You don't have to save gas by flying at 40k all the time. :D

Somehow I doubt that you're done, but then maybe I'm just cynical.

Honestly? give them more than 5 minutes to land, make it 15 minutes. The the Arena changes to LWOH you get more of a warning time ( 10min till lock warning then 5 Min's till boot warning if i remember) yea that seems fair. No one is going to care that people will still be fighting till the Map reset it happens like that all the time, it just gives those on long missions a chance to land. So whats wrong with adding 10 minutes more to the Map Reset Time to allow for this.
i would love to hear your reason why this would wouldn't work and what great harm it would cause to the game. Bottom line is adding extra time before the map resets won't hurt anyone.

+1. Having a ten minutes to lock and 10 minutes to reset just like the changeover would'nt hurt. In fact I bet most players would appreciate having time to land sorties. You'd just have to lock the field status once the war was won.
-
Well BE that's how i feel and I'm no bomber pilot, adding time hurts no one period. anyone that can provide proof that its detrimental to the game I'd love to hear that reason. Oneway posted a concern, granted he was alittle pissed when he did it but it's really no need to flame, he has a good point and no one yet has a reason why it shouldn't be added.
-
I wonder if HTC made it change fast so one side can't win the war multiple times before the arena swap?
Of course....I'm pretty new so not sure if that is even possible.

if u take a base within the 4 minutes of initial map win,you will get more perks.
-
the map should never reset. just keep winning the same one. :aok :rock teamwork! :huh :rolleyes:
but I'm reasonable, so I suggest 2 hours until reset, after a war's won. War won by rooks, you have been awarded perk points. terrain changes in 120 minutes. this is for the guys who took off their lancs or b29's that can't read the map. :joystick:
maybe it should be 3 hours, since someone might be in the air still. 3 hours + glide time.. lets make it 4 hours.
-
I believe last weekend the bishops came within 1 base of winning the map. knights had the great idea of attacking rook bases that bishop owned. we tooked 3 in a short time then a couple more of our bases a couple of hours later we won the war. this thing of predicting when the war is going to be won would be kind of hard.

Bish use this gal. She's pretty cheap and spot on about 97.75% of the time.

WARNING: Oneway will attempt to fly bombers again in MA Sunday night at 10:33 Pac Time
Beef....don't say you told me so...or I will shoot you down in my Betty
I do not fly 40K btw
I fly tween 21 and 24...
Perfect pick and prey alt for the average fighter dweeb...
:pray
-
LOL....
After logging in at 10:33 Pac time...the Arena reset (yet again) in about 10 minutes...
Here is the funny thing...we had around 150 players in two arenas before reset...
Now we have 60 players in one arena...
Brilliant
-
OK, I see how it is now. Even though the area resets every single night at 11:00 PM PDT (actually 11:10 before you are booted) you still insist on taking off at 10:33 PM. Brilliant.
