Dunno if this map can be reset at anything but off-off-peak hours.
The main problem is that every country is necked down at some point. In order to reset, two countries would have to attack a 3rd and keep pushing side by side in the exact same direction. The problem is, they'd also be increasing their front with each other, and as they start to meet more and more resistance where the country necks down, the increased front will look too inviting to continue the 2:1 battle.
Or, a country would have to dominate enough that it could, by itself, push a country all the way back by inserting itself between two countries and having to take on the full brunt of both countries.
Basically, the 3 spoke system creates bottlenecks that are effectively impassable.

Actually for once I really like the new map. It's a fun and challenging map to fly to say the least. I personally have had more fun since this map came out then I have ever had with the past maps.
-
I like the map too.
The question isn't really how you like it now... its how you'll like it in 3 weeks after its still there.

Welp, the host has been reset 5 times in the last 7 days. At least 2 of those times, a country was down to 30 fields right before the reset. So, if that continues for the next 3 weeks.........
(btw minid, everytime the host resets...the map is reset also).
-
I've seen it hit 30 bases too. The thing is, it never lasts. The host reset has cleared that a couple of times, but other times the country just faught back. Basically, each attacker has to deal with a 4 base front, and not bother with each other while they combine to cream the third country.
Like I said... its a bottleneck.

Bummer. Talked to HT today and suggested that he rotate the terrain the next time it happens. It was just a suggestion :). BTW, all the host resets are due to a bug in the host. They are working like crazy to track it down and squash it.

"Bug in Host" Must be related to the new Map.
Ive never seen host reset so much until this map. hope it gits worked out soon.

I called it "Rutt-Stuck" amoung other things, and un-winable too, and got the same answer Well it's still never been won by any country....Go figure ? CHKRS
P.S. Alliances SUCK !,

I love the trinity map. It's really well thought out! Especially Crater city.
I would suggest that the Host automatically rotates maps, after 3 days of no reset, and just calls it a draw - no perk awards.

Checkers...
Yes, it is obvious you have only made a few posts on this BBS. If you had made more posts, you would realize that the smilies (the little smiling/grinning faces) denote an attempt to poke fun or make a joke. As for personal attacks, other than quoting you...how do you figure that I personally attacked you :confused: (<---note: another smilie :D). I would recommend you work on thickening your skin if you plan to continue to post. When it comes to attacking anyone here, I am more a little bunny than a lion. Had one of the lion's attacked you...you would know it :D!

I did. You might want to go back and reread it yourself, since you obviously failed to understand what was said. The reset did NOT happen BECAUSE of a mass goon drop. It happened INSPITE of an earlier one and Icemaw followed his post that you refer to with a disclaimer stating that his post was 'tongue-in-cheek'. Tongue-in-cheek means sarcastic and or joking.

Actually, it was 10 days (not 14) and during those 10 days, HTC had to reset the arena, at least, 5 times. Do the math :D.

Had you bothered to read what I have posted else where, you would have noticed that I ASKED for critisism. Of course, there is a distinct difference between critisism and complaint. If you would like to see the difference, read Lazs thread in the General Discussion area. He doesn't just say "this is bad..this sucks". He states his opinion and offers possible solutions.

Now THIS is a personal attack :D!! Had I chosen to place the following in my post..."Checkers, you lame dweeb!! Your head is so far up your butt it's amazing you don't trip and break your neck!!"...THEN I would have been making a personal attack. As a general rule, I always attempt to treat others with civility. BTW, I am perfectly capable of using a flamethrower, for the most part, I choose not to do so :D.
Ego and arrogance:confused: :confused:. That statement shows exactly how little you know about me :). I've been doing this stuff since the mid '80's and learned long ago that it is all just a game. To tie up ego points in a pointless game is inane :).
Now, the ball is in your court. If you wish to continue to shoot flaming arrows at me, I strongly urge you to take it to email since HT has said he does not appreciate personal attacks in the BBS and will not tolerate them.

Does this mean you dont like Trinity? :D
Are you drunk mon?

Checkers....you need to take it easy. You appear to be new (loose the colored text) and will get to understand things when you have been around a bit. Yea things aren't perfect with Trinity......BUT
1. It took NB a lot of work-more than you can imagine-to develop and make that terrain from scratch.
2. It is being worked on, some minor "undocumented features" being reworked.
3. I'm not sure about all the issues with arena resets, but knowing NB, HT and the aces high staff, they will be adressed (probably in about 2 weeks)
Hope to see you up-enjoying all the arenas.

I, for one, like the map. I'm not fond of the resets. Hoepfully they will be fixed soon and life will go on.
Thank you.
PS...Pizza is ok, with a beer.
