Could give most players a better clue how 'the war' is going and particularly if one side is about to win it. Currently you would have to know the initial base distribution, count captured fields and compare that number to the total number of fields to do the same if it's not your own country.

A new dot command : .time
Shows for how long a terrain has been up.
Mainly because arena resets for reaching the 7 day time limit are coming without any warning at all. While that is a minor annoyance when flying a fighter or similar 'quick' missions, it really sucks if you are coming home from the single 2h strat raid you can do in a week ;)
-
#1 = +1
#2 = +1
-
What about adding this to #2 as well?
When you log in it will tell you in the text buffer: "SYSTEM: Arena has been up for X days. Resets in X days."
Either way, +1 for both.

I've been wanting something like #1 for

These are the dumbest Idea I have ever heard. Don't you know .time is for setting the time?
And you know how long this would take to write?

No I didn't know that exactly, but I figured that if ever implemented you would probably be able to assing any name that would be appropriate or free.
And you know how long this would take to write?
No I don't. But then I still can't imagine how this could be so difficult, to track when the last reset had been. But even if it is, I wonder how a wish for tracking the uptime of a map could becalled "the dumbest wish ever". I was at least expecting "both die in a collision" or "get rid of GV" or others like these would have been dumber.
Care to elaborate?

I'm pretty sure hitech's saying it's already done and will be out soon. :noid

Well, if I had seen the picture at that time, my answer would have been different :)
Hmmm... could still edit it... naaa, I let it stand as is ;)
-
Dumbest Idea!? :lol HiTech has forgotten the "David Wales". :old:
-
No, he just made a joke I didn't get :)
-
Hitech has a little fun and everyone hides under the tables thinking it's fire and brimstone as usual. Sort of the motivational saying "When I want your opinion......".
He's got us well trained after all of these years.
More players should copy Luche's style of presentation when asking Hitech for things. I always wondered why these things were missing from the drop down on the clipboard map. Thank you Lusche for asking, and thank you Hitech for seeing value added in the request.
-

Colour me surprised.. You got it, but then you didn't get it.
But congrats on getting it.

I started to wonder just what else was in that bottle of scotch. :confused:
-
This is the 2nd forum idea I have seen get done immediately by Hitech in the last few months.
I love that HTC is being responsive to good ideas, but I have to wonder just what Mrs. Hitech is putting in his food.

Sorry but wish #1 needs to go, if you want to know what the other side is doing switch, otherwise how many bases a side has is none of your business.....just like other post...... dot playthegamewhileIwatchTV...pl ayers getting lazy in this game

Sorry, but I don't want to "know what the other side is doing". If they are preparing a NOE or sending a CV somewhere is indeed their business, no mine.
I want to know the situation of the overall war, and particularly how close it is to getting won. And actually I didn't even wish #1 for myself, as doing the calculations is quick for me. But most players don't have the field start ownerships memorized, and I don't think they should be required to do so.
Or is there anything actual detrimental to it I didn't see yet? :)

yes it is, because it's public information..
The map shows how many bases each side owns.. You have a problem with the status window counting them and displaying a total? :rolleyes:

Wow. Hasn't even been 24 hours and someone has already cried about the wish??? Seriously?

I miss the days of helping run epic comebacks when my side was down to two fields left in warbirds.
One other benefit is that this concentrates the action.

Part of the "MYSTERY" of the game, not knowing whats going on, been working for the 12 years I have been here. As far as "most players" maybe they need to "learn the game" not just play it :bhead

Please include this change in the MW and EW arenas. :x

been playing for about 7years. not sure which part I am supposed to learn :). because to be honest, what attracts me to the game is that I come here, drink a couple of beers and shoot the breeze with some friends. the "flying" part has always been secondary to me.

Pfffft, have you seen my Diminishing Return idea yet? :D And I'm still waiting for that perfect drunken stupor one night to post my next 190 wish/novella.
