Title: Cutting the fat (Pointless arenas)
Post by: Torquila on April 30, 2012, 10:22:04 AM
Early War, Mid War and WW2 arena's should be removed and such modes relegated to custom/h2h arenas.

Thoughts?  :cool:

How do they impact your gameplay in any fashion?

   You obviously don't fly them. I don't drive your car so I think you should take the Bus.  :D

I assume you mean AvA? We would object to this because while we don't have a consistently large population, we do have a following and have some very fun nights in there.

Further we would be a perfect test bed for game developments such as formerly Combat Tour elements that eventually come on line.

How would it improve Aces High to disenfranchise the folks who do actually use all of those arenas?  Do you somehow imagine that taking them away would force those folks into Late War instead of driving them away entirely?

I have no more desire to continue this thread.

I posted it looking for a communal feedback but faced with HT's direct attention I resign further commentary.

Even if that would happen by (illusionary) 100%, the effect on the LW arena would be hardly notable at all.  :old:

well what are you looking for? if you fly in the MA it's there for you to fly in, how are the other arena's distracting from your enjoyment?

So now that Hitech has asked a question you will abandon the thread.

Here is a suggestion for you, never post again, just in case Hitech should post in it. This way you no longer waste anyone time.

This and...

...this.



The arena's you are questioning do not an any way hinder the servers.  I doubt it would hinder the servers even if they had a lot of people in them either.  If they were causing a strain on them, then HiTech would upgrade them to better support, not get rid of the option for people to fly in specific-ish time periods. :aok

Well I'll tellya this. There were some numbers in WW1 last week so's I went it. While I did get my Butt kicked I had a lot of fun and it was actually a fine training session cause WW1 combat is very dependant on actual flying skills and using actual tactics. It has the kind of dogfights that you wish for in LWA, and instead get everyone with a joystick zooming in at 500 mph in runstangs and run-90s. You actually have to know how to fly in WW1. And best of all I saw no HO'ing.

I warned them the arena would be a dead end, and I was largely right. But Im going to go in more often when I can and actually "fly".

My question is where did this guy come from? He hid under a rock for 10 years and then comes out demanding for changes for HTC to make.

If everyone didn't pile into Late War to Fly LA7's and we had some distribution of participants into Mid war, that's where I'd live  :airplane:

I also love AvA for the true match ups ---- but alas, without range icons, many would be unable to kill enemy fighters with their 110's A2A rockets.  :uhoh

Time to close this one down, since almost all posts are off topic.
