Title: new ideas
Post by: justIN on November 20, 2011, 09:10:18 PM
what about having a arena like a mini size MA, to try out new ideas of game play to see if they work out and if all or none of us cartoon pilots like any of the changes. tankers bombers. Something small like 10 bases each side to just find new ways to improve things. So many people complain about how the game play has gone, there bored , or its all the same thing but new planes tanks bombers here and there. Wouldn't hurt to mix up the DA as well that's getting pretty blah as well.
Up a plane get ganged then hoed, 60% to 70% of the DA is Temps, Three years ago it was a well mix of planes now its Chog's Temps 110 Nikki's LA the top 5. A little mix it up cant do much harm but a change can be good.
I have seen a lot of good ideas past 6 months, First of all make the DA only 2 bases that's all that place needs.

We have private arenas now. Is that not enough?

I wouldn't mind seeing beta-testing for new vehicles, to determin how it fares against the others in the game, what its ENY is, if it needs a perk cost, etc.

And 100 people all playing the same thing will find more bugs than Skuzzy ever dreamed of doing  :D.

A common misconception, Skuzzy is really only tech-support and BBS baby-sitter, more or less.

He's stated numerous times that he doesn't have any real say when it comes to game design etc. and
doesn't know what's going to be added next.

Would have had better luck with Sudz I think.

The WWI arena is also the defacto test server as part of the intent of that server is to test out new ideas before rolling them out to the main arenas.

And, in addition to the above, the one time we had a Beta arena, no one was in there. The Beta went live and many found they had "issues".

I thought that was the entire point of "Beta" :headscratch:

I think you missed the point of what wrongway wrote, when the beta server was up hardly anyone was in there so when the stuff being tested went live, many bugs were found that could have been found and squashed had people used the beta server.

How come people didn't use the Beta server? Just didn't want to deal with the bugs, and having to report them, etc?

Score.  The beta server didn't have score/rank enabled.

I remember the beta server. I spent most of my time in there while it was up. I was still relatively new at that time so i don't remember the old terrain that well.. But I think I liked the old trees better along with the old layout of the GV bases. i love the looks of the new bases but I wish we had the old layout.
