Title: Remove the /1000 On Server Page - Makes Game Look Dead
Post by: Vraciu on August 15, 2019, 01:30:32 PM
When I see 18/1000 for player numbers in an arena I psychologically think the game is dead.

I would say 18 Players not 18/1000.

It’s a small change but it could have an impact.   Besides, until we are approaching the limit it feels like a needless stat. 

 :salute

I think its too late for measures like that. Other games have done the same and it didn't dig them out of their grave.

Yeah.  But no sense throwing dirt on top ourselves.

ummmmm  is it the /1000 or is it the actual lack of players coupled with massive maps?  Fill a main stream football field with 100 people and it is going to feel empty.  Fill a local town football field with 100 people and we got a party.

I think the point is they are still full of people and so a party ensues.  :aok

Are you guys born stupid or do you just practice really hard?

The game is not dead, the fact that it thinks it can host more players than it can makes it feel dead.   Are you guys that stupid that you cannot see that???

The game is great, it just needs to think about being different.  I can fly in my prime time (Australia) and I have 5 players per side.  I have 150 bases to choose from.  I can avoid combat by bombing undefended bases

Tonight I logged in to try the game again.  No fights so I upped a bomber.  Another bomber upped from a nearby base, we headed for same target.  We were 50% the way there and an enemy dar appeared.  It meant a fighter was coming to meet us.  ok.  man the guns!!!!!   Nope, the other player bailed as soon as the enemy dar appeared.  I went in and killed 2 but died before the target was reached.

The guy that bailed.  Left me to fight alone.  Bomber rank 9.  I guess he did not want to risk much, free point make prizes.

For me this is the essential issue with AH.  You reward running you need to reward (actually you need to force) fighting.   Running is killing your game for anyone that has a combat heart.  You are rewarding point scoring, combat avoiding play.  Not good.

Scores need to be hidden until end of tour or converted to career stats only.   People worrying about score dominate these days.
