yep...the same lame
Same practical Timezone as me Tongs. If I was lucky I used to run into you, Techwrek, those Mr.... fellows and if we were honoured: The Trogdor. In a parallel to the golden days of the DA, just as the Tempests and 190Ds would start to show up marking the end of the Breakfast Club, so would the professional base-taking machine mark the end of my daytime fun.
My previous comment about meaningful resistance also meant if you made it too hard for them they'd just abandon base x to attack base y and get base x later on when the resistance had ceased. Therefore even fighting could end the fighting
Let's be honest, there really is no skill in it and the strategy to wining maps is by taking the most undefended fields.
^ this, basically.
But, I am of the opinion that furballing is what's destroyed gameplay in AH.
Could it be that a measure of both in moderation and balance was needed to sustain 24/7 gameplay? The daytime slow-dip has observably expanded across the clock. I fear it's not linear: less people means more people don't bother (traumatised, industrial Energizer Bunnies notwithstanding). Thus the end game is observable as an inverse exponent. Rats eating each other's tails, base-taking with Spitfire Mark Is throwing hand grenades, individual troops cycling to the map room. Abandoned to our own fate by the Dale-God-entity. Cats living with dogs. Fire and brimstone..
