CHk out the News forum.... you all got what you been asking for... lets hope it works well! NEWS ANNOUCMENT (http://www.hitechcreations.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=86432)
<> HTC i for 1 am intruged buy the idea.
Ps. HTC .... what will the order be for the maps?
-
Whoa, this might make the game sufferable until AH2.
-
good deal :)
-
another question for HTC...
when is the "reset time" for the rotation? 10AM CST or something like that?
will perks be awarded to country with highest # of bases?
-
Wow - I'm impressed!
-
Does that mean we get rid of Pizza on Friday? Oh please, oh please, oh please.....
-
Sounds like a very good idea! WTG HTC!
-
guys i think by a 'new map each friday' he means a new map (in the rotation)to the one your playing not a brand new map we have never seen before :)
just means no map will ever exceed an entire week(friday to friday) without being changed.I cant quite be sure what skuzzy means here but thats what i think it means.I like the idea of giving it a try! thnx for the test HTC :)
However, I like the idea of a limit on how LONG a map stays but not so sure making each map stay for a week is a good plan.doesnt that mean we will always have 7 days on pizza always 7 days on trinity etc?
I thought most of the complaints werent about the rotation timing as certain maps that lasted a little too long.Baltic ,Islands, uterus all seem to be ok to me just pizza and trinity that last a little too long.I may have got the wrong impression from the posts but this was what i felt was needed.I didnt have a problem with maps being set to a new one after a war win, I just wanted an equal amount of time on all the maps.
does the new set up mean 6 -7 days on each map now?
-
hazed . i think thats what it means... 1 week of SFMA ... 1 week of NDISLES.... 1 week of MINDANAO ... so on and so on.
personally i can see SFMA geting stale in a few days. but thats about all.
the only other thing is i wont see my beloved (truly i LOVE it) Trinity map for 6 weeks :( (that is how many maps we have right?)
SFMA
BALTIC
NDISLES
MINDANAO
AKDESSERT
TRINITY
did i miss 1?
-
so simple, still it is the best "update" we have had in a looooooong time :)
HTC
-
Cool, thanks!
-
The way I read it is that each map will remain for a week regardless of a player induced reset. In effect we will have each map for a week. This is a good thing IMO.
-
Thank Jesus, that is EXACTLY what I proposed in a message posted almost a month ago! Proof that Skuzzy and friends actually READ what we post here ...

Ok, so that translates to:
Yak9U
109G10
FM2 and F4U1D
P51D
109G10 and Panzer
Yak9U and F4U1D
Got it! I'll pass the word along to my crewchief to brush the dust off my FM-2. ;)

As it is now, when a map is reset you have 5 minutes till the big boot and the map changes.
Will there still be a massive boot or will just the countries be reset to different areas of the map?
-
You know what would be really nice stastic to those pilots who fight strategically and fight for a specific country. Just something somewhere that shows the total number of wars one per country for a camp.
CAMP 40
Bishops - 2 Wars won
Knights - 2 Wars won
Rooks - 2 Wars won
[/list]
Something that some won't care about but would be a nice thing to see how your country does overall for a camp along with number of sorties, number of deaths, number of kills that you already get on the stats pages. With maps auto rotating would be nice to have stats to see how many were forced. And those people who don't care about stats aren't bothered with them.
-
CT has been doing it this way for a while
by thursday you look forward to fridays change
-
I hope the placement of the teams rotates though. So we are not defending the same bases for a week. :)

IMHO I think they should rotate the map if a war isn't won by the end of the week.. but if it is . just roate to the next and keep going.

I still think that will still leave us with trinity and pizza most of the time. At least with the new system (the way I read it) we will only be stuck on a map for one week. Now there is no uncertaincy as to when we will see the next map.

OK, everyone throw a dollar in the pool and pick a date/time group for the moment the first complaint about the new map rotation is posted. No fair picking a date before it actually starts.
This will be an interesting experiment in the characteristics of this group of people. :D
I'll wager by the third day of the "new system" there'll be complaints. ;)
-
are perks being reset monthly in ma as they are in ct?
haven't played 2 hrs of ma in 2 months

If all the maps were of the quality of Trinity I would cheer that one. But being in uterus or pizza for a week...ouch

I'll complain now, Toad. What the hell is the big thing about what map we are on? All these people always wishing we were on a different map or if there was a new one to fly on it would be better. How ridiculous can we all be? The ground we fly over has no effect on what the game play is. No matter which map, it is still a constant mass suicide Jabo endless onslaught of porking and base captures with no point.
There is no goal to AH. There is no 'big picture' that means anything. If the be-all end all is to get "perk points" then perk points should have some meaning other than being able to fly a Me-262 or drive a Tiger once in a while.
The MA is a constant furball and nothing else. Even when players get together in joint operations or missions, they still just wind up as mass Jabo pork raids where the side with the greater numbers wins. No skill is required and it doesn't help even if you have it. The numbers will always win in the MA because death is not a factor and the enemy will eventually give up and go to a different area rather than fight 10-1 and get vulched all day.
AH2 will be fun for a while, but the novelty will wear off after a while. I mean, if all the missions are pre-scripted, how many will you be able to fly before you say "I've flown that one already HTC. We need more new missions!"
I for one firmly believe that in order to have a game that will really keep people's interest, you have to make it where actual thinkning and strategy come into play. I would love to see organized missions that mean something again. Just about every mission you see these days say "Jabo Raid Axx"
The terrains are designed with no real stragetic advantage points and strat target strewn out all over the place sometimes in impossible to defend areas. And now, with the advent of the Me163, huge bomber raids to HQ are almost never seen unless the country doing it has a HUGE numerical advantage and are running out of targets to hit.
Bottom line is that AH is becoming stagnent in the gameplay department, and simply changing when a map is going to rotate is not going to change anything.

its good news for furballers...now they can justify there uselessness by saying "whats the point if we reset it now were still gonna have to use the map till friday"
hmmm...maybe ill subscribe now...
-
mt... every furball is different from the last.. The combinations are endless. Some maps provide more and some provide less opportunity for the holy furball.... come towards the light mt.

hmmmm.... bleah....i'd say mon morning and fri afternoon would be a good way to rotate it....
m...f...m...f.... 4 maps in 2 weeks.
once a week, same map alllll weeek??? bleah.. you'll just see multiple resets on some of the maps... i don't think it's gonna be too much fun... case in point... for example, bishknits are steamrolling rooks on the uterus.... rooks start logging as reset imminent... reset.... uterus gets auto-steamrolled right away....
we'll see, i guess.

Never said Shane was stoopid :D.
Toad...
How bout this for a pool....which terrain will be the first to be reset 10 times or more in 1 week. What do you think the odds are that the same country will be gettin the crap kicked out of them for that week?
Old adage.....be careful what you wish for....:)
-
Jesus Shane stop making sence.
it's so unlike you :p lol
Luckily Spring is finally here, fishing takes over as main priority so playtime will be maybe 1 hr a month for me.
see ya in the fall for AH2.

You know NB, I actually had that old adage in the post and took it out as it seemed "inflammatory".

Midnight has it about right, IMHO.

Hmm. There's them that may accuse you of oxymoronism with that. If you do a Google search you will find that it's actually a bit redundant.

Ya know what... I don't care if the map is reset over and over.. at least youi get a fresh start. What is the difference? if the bish, for instance, have steamroller like numbers advantage and they reset baltic in a day.... well so what? baltic goes back up and they may or may not steamroller it again.. the numbers advantage will shift to the next country who will become thje steamroller soon enough..
the real strat in AH is... the country with the most numbers is the steamroller.. the one with the least is the road. the remaining country is along for the ride on the steamroller.
Funny really since if perks are what the building battlers are after they would be far better off in the medium number country racking up perks in air to air combat.... But what do I know? I still haven't figured out what to do with 10,000 or so perk points.

Yeah, I've got more fighter perks than I'll probably spend (well, unless I suicide a 262 over and over again). What I really want are more ground vehicle perks so I can steamroller a Tiger into a Bish airfield. :D
