Sabre.
Somebody locked the playground again. It's about 18:30 EST, and locked up tight.
-
NOOOOOOO! Not on tuesdays... You know where I will be in the next 90 minutes. Sacrificing to the Gods of Chance-Vought. But where to find a virgin at this hour? I am afraid my wife doesn't qualify, but given the dire emergency, she might have to do ;)
-
You'll find no virgins around the heritic that is Chance Vought.
Come to the alter of Mitsubishi, we'll give you P6Ehawk. He's new enough to be called a virgin.:D
-
Seriously though, does anyone have an email address for one of the CT crew? Is there someone at HTC who can reset it for us? Tuesdays are sort of a big night.
-
Yeah I hope this gets all sorted out by 7pm PST. What I want to know more is why do people continue to reset the map. Always thought capturing fields in the CT was a bad idea.... Wish people would figure it out and just not do it till the problem gets fix, sheesh...
-
This is getting old fast.
-
Yep.
You can add my vote to doing away with base capture, the setup last week was refreshing not having to worry about having a base to fly from, or even worse a locked arena.
SABRE WHERE ARE YOU?????:confused:
-
Agree this is all a PAIN in the WAZOO but without base capture you have no dynamic to the game. It's just one giant furball. GAK! You might as well just have only two fields in an arena - one on each side of the map.
No the problem here is with HTC's programing. The Arena should reset itself cleanly and not go "TITS UP" every time one side or the other manages to win the war.
BTY - the damn thing is still "TITS UP" and it is squad time. GEEZE!
:rolleyes:

Well this is Bulldookie!
Cmon guys Tuesdays and Thursdays are the biggest nights for CT, can't somebody stick their noses in to see if alls well with the arena?:(
We demand you give up the wife, job, children, and responsibilties, and take care of our needs.:D

I agree 100% :)

Taken from a post in another thread before I saw this one......
You guys need to address the problem of map snafu. I HATE flying in the ma. It is just plain offensive after spending all of my time in the ct (which to your credit kicks some major ass), and if I am forced to fly there, I will eventually find a different game to play. It is totally unacceptable as a ww2 combat sim in every way imaginable. Please get HTC or whomever is responsible for these 'locks' to fix it. I asked skuzzy about it last night in the MA but he did not respond. ALthough he did respond to bunch of stupid drivil, so I am imagining he believes it is not his problem.

What they all said!!!!!!!!!!!
I knew it was gonna happen....some of you know I've been out lately with a new addition to the family. Finally get CINCHOUSE approval tonight to get online and get my butt shot off (haven't flown in 5 weeks, very rusty!) and what do I find.....the friggin arena locked!!!!!:mad:
I am not one to squeak or moan. You won't see very many whines from me, if any at all. But this time I gotta speak out! It seems to me that since the release of 1.10, the number of problems in the CT has increased dramatically. Locked arenas, porked bases, porked maps...the list goes on.
Has HTC tried fixing these problems? Are we, the CT community, not squeaking and moaning enough on the General boards about these problems that HTC doesn't really consider there are any?
I am a dedicated CT player, been flying in here since I joined the Hellcats 'bout 7-8 months ago....I abso-friggin-lutely hate flying in the MA, and will only on occasion to get my Hog fix, or when the CT is down:D
As you can see, tonight hit a nerve. I was looking forward to tonight, as I haven't been able to fly in awhile. I think its time to start letting HTC know what we think about OUR arena. I'm afraid if we don't start "fighting" for it, we might just lose it.
CT and all who fly there (when they can!;) )
-
dammit!:mad:
-
DAMNIT!
-
What's the technical explanation for why the arena becomes locked, anyway? Is it something the players are doing intentionally? Is it a map problem?
If it IS related to base capture/map resets, I'd just as soon see base captures disabled in the CT until its fixed. Was really disappointed I couldn't get in last night.
-
Duke!!!!!
CINCHOUSE! ROTFLMO!
Linda gets mad because when we fly Luftwaffe I call her Frau Löwe. I gotta use CINCHOUSE one day. :D
-
All I can say is, I'm sorry. I reset the arena Monday night. Yesterday I was feeling poorly, so I went to bed right after dinner. It's hard to imagine anyone could have taken enough bases Tuesday afternnoon to cause a reset by Tuesday evening...I just don't know what's going on with the CT server. I'll send another e-mail to Pyro, and see if he can shed any light on the problem. For all you Tuesday-night players, again, I'm sorry. I feel yucky about it, but not as yucky as I did last night.

Sabre, there is no way this should always fall on you. If you're not delegating already, start doing so! :)
Since the CT gets around 10% of MA numbers, I think it would be good for HTC to pay at least some attention to it. After all, as many have pointed out here, we just don't fly in that steaming dung heap of an MA. Without the CT (or soon the Mission Theater) we have no reason to be customers.
It would be nice to get a reply from HTC once in a while on this board.
-
Agree Miska, we are a large enough community, the days where the CT was a tiny little "expirament" are gone. Would be nice to see ONE post from HTC here.
Hey! some of us play Aces High too!
:)
-
Hey vf27 anybody else getting your yahoo group messages thrown back at you? I have not gotten a message in days, and when i try to reply it just says undeliverable....
-
Just sent an e-mail to Pyro, asking if he can look into this latest spat of reset/lock-ups. I'll post as soon as I hear anything. In the mean time, all I can do is keep checking it as often as possible. Thanks for you patience, and sorry again for those who were forced to seek solace in the MA last night.

Thanks, Sabre! FWIW you do an aces job!
You know, it never even crossed my mind to switch to the MA when I found the CT locked.
-
Yep, Oboe, you're hopelessly hooked on the CT;). By the way, I just heard back from Skuzzy. They unlocked the arena and explained why it was locked after the reset. Turns out to be my fault. I normally lock the CT during set up. This time, I saved the tables before I unlocked the arena, inadvertantly saving the "locked" setting as well (never even occured to me). So when the reset occured, it reloaded the tables and duefully locked the arena as the tables instructed .
That still doesn't explain how it got reset Tuesday, but at least part of mystery is solved.

I went to the MA when I saw the CT was locked there was 537 people on at the time so I upped a SpitI and headed to the nearest furball. there must have been a 100 planes in that ball one of the largest I have seen any way in dove in and mixed it up for about 10 min downed a 190 and assisted on a ki61 decided to bug out for home and was jumped by 2 p51's and a yak mixed it up for few min finally the yak got me
All and all it was just pointless and logged and went to the h2h rooms that got old soon too, so me and the wife had some quiet/quility time , with 4 kids these moments are rare so it wasnt a bad night after all.
-
Hehe...know that feeling, Key. Got four (not-so-little) kids myself. Skuzzy says Dale might have an idea on these random resets, and is on the case.

laz must of thought he'd died and gone to heaven.

Hehe Lowe... I don't use CINCHOUSE at anytime she may be within earshot!! ;) That would be very, VERY bad!
I know the CM's are working hard with each and every setup....... big to all! A thankless job most of the time trying to keep us idiots :p happy with what AH has given you to work with. Keep up the good work!! Hope to make it up tomorrow night before this setup gets replaced.
