No, the old arena was the Training Arena. The advantage of the new Dueling Arena will be obvious if you go in there and look at the map. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Ok will do that...
So now we have practise arena, duelling arena, Main arena...
Only one arena missing...

Guys, this is something the Training staff has been looking forward to. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) The Training Arena is for TRAINING. It's great to have a place for the folks that want to duel, fee for all, and that sort of thing. Now there is no reason for folks to be furballing at a field, and end up vulching newbies trying to learn how to take off.
I'd like to thank HTC for taking the time to make this happen. This is a small thing, but I think it helps the community. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

VMF-323 did Redflag mission in there last night, very nice arena, very well structured, big WTG !
Laz, I expect to see you camped out in there from now on...its a furball map. You asked for it, you got it! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

All for the Tina Arena! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

hmm... if we had early war planes in it and a way to enforce parity and choice.... Maybe this will be a good arena to test out the "area" concept.
Fact is... if there are numbers there then it will be a great "furball" arena but if there isn't then people won't bother. I have never seen two arenas work well running at the same time. . The best efforts of scenerio guys might get 60-100 guys in a special arena for an hour or two while the "regular" arena is running but other than that... If the "furball" arena works too well (attracts too many players) there will be a huge outcry of "ban the furball arena". Or, make it "relaxed realism" or something bogus to make it useless.

I only had time for a couple of good fights in the new arena last night, and I lost them both, but they were great fights. They were the types of fights I look for in the MA, but go for days at a time without finding.
Now if it'll only fill up with people in there, and we can get some good furball action going...
I'm not too hopeful, though. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/frown.gif) Separate arenas don't do well. AW Fightertown died a slow death after being moved to its own arena, and I saw other ideas not even take off, because everyone always herds to the most populated arena.
Putting a furball area, dueling areas, and many different terrain choices on the same map was a great idea, though, and it just might make the difference. Here's hoping (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
Regardless, I intend to make a point of hanging out in the furball area, and I want to invite everyone to come in and shoot me down! For a while, you'll only see me in the MA if there's no one to fill me full of lead in the Dueling Arena (DA?) (well, if I don't get a fighter slot in the scenario, I'll be in the MA practicing ground attack)

AW FT has been rocking the last few weeks. We had 30 in there last night. AH has been in dire need of a FT for months. I look at this as a good thing for AH.

uh oh, Camo...

This ones got me thinking about signing back up. Laz, post something, if it catch's on.
-
Lazs, that isn't the point of this arena.
BTW, did you check out the Check Six event on Friday night? Hellcats vs. Zekes. I don't even know who "won", but damn it was a BLAST. I think these events are just what you are looking for.
easymo, I'll watch the arena over the weekend and let you know how many peeps I see in there on average.

We had some great duels in there on its inagural night. Assassins vs. Night Hawks:
NH-Tempests/Ass-D9(1Ta152) = Assassins
NH-Tempests/Ass-D9 = NH
NH-D9 /Ass-Tempests = Assassins
NH-La7 /Ass-109g10 = Assassins
I'd like to salute the NightHawks on a job well done. It was tremendous fun and I look forward to more of this kinda stuff soon. We tried to get the FDB's in a duel first, but they were sissy boys and begged off.

sea... you sure are quick to jump on people when they pretend to know what YOU want or think. You should know better tho since i have stated time and again that I don't want a seperate arena. Basicaly, you coulda stayed out of it if you were simply going to be a hypocrite who missrepresented my position. If that is too harsh then you can allways leave AH ..... again.
Anarky has explained my position quite well. It should be no surprise tho.
rip... hehee... yep, a pessimist. couple of squaddies told me that they were talking about me (behind my back of course) and saying that I was a "pessimist" but trouble was.... I was allways right.
lep.. thanks but I don't really enjoy events. I can't even wait in the tower for friends to finish a sortie.

" and saying that I was a "pessimist" but trouble was.... I was allways right."
In the world of psychology, a pessimist is always right in his or her mind, Laz. They covered that in Psych 101 as a matter of fact. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Hypocrite? I never said anything then said something else that went against my first statement. Anyways, it was a joke. Maybe you were too quick to engage your anger. You wanted a furball island, this is the next best thing.
If that is too harsh then you can allways leave AH ..... again.
I came back? Wow that's news to me.
So lemme get this straight, if I say I quit, then if I were to come back people get to use this neato saying on me? Yer a bigger man than I, I bow down in your shadow.

Wow! that is good news for AW. When I left, there were maybe 80 people in all FR arenas most nights I logged on.
Looks like the move to EA might have been a good thing.
I sure miss seeing all the old FT regulars anymore. Wish I could get all ya'll to come over here (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

The EA switch may not have been all its been advertised as. Yesterday they fired half the production staff and the rumor is 200 people are going to be axed.
I have an account set up for the scenario, but if I have the time, I will check out the new AH arena.

Nice set up...gamer areana though.
Scares me to think that AW did much the same activity a few years ago when they tried to cotton to the gamer idea instead of the SIM idea.
The problem with this (speaking from the affore mentioned AW experience) is that it takes people out of the MA where their friends and countrymen feel rather disgruntled by the lack of help. Then the Nintendo threads start, and the love is lost...the comunity damaged, etc.
We get enough of this at Scenario time when the haters walk into the Scenario and start cussing about our lack of MA support and how we kicked them offline.
Anyhow, I don't see much use for it unless some one sets up a ladder type competition to take place on a sceduled basis.

sea... previously, you had a snit fit because (u felt that) someone claimed to know what you were thinking. You now claim to know what I am thinking. You appear to hold others to a different standard than you do yourself...Not only that, but you know that I have been against seperate arenas as a solution from the start so, u are intentionaly being untruthful.
as for quitting. You said you quit. later, in another thread, I seen that you said that you flew the previous nite. It appears that you have quit and then came back. If that is not the case then I apolodgize.
rip... I didn't say I was allways right (but I am)... they did. In fact, I often say IMO or "but I could be wrong(even tho I don't mean it).... And if I wanted a lecture on psych 101 I'd ask her what she thot... LOL, right..

I'm not being untruthful, what part of "joke" is hard to understand? I know that you want furball island, that's what you want. This is the next best thing.

Hmmmmmm? After I posted I quit, my account was deleted. I posted in a thread about flying H2H, but that I couldn't because my account was inactive.
