yea  well once you've cleared me and kazaa off thats been about it recently  apart from fury, prhim.

Our squad policy is quality and not quantity so we shouldnt suffer that much...

My grand designs for taking over the virtual skies with an elite band of Brit brothers never really materialised   lol  

Depends on the where the ENY limiter is going to kick in.  Hopefully it will be used in moderation   :)

What I can't figure out is how people can be griping and we haven't even tried it yet.

Might want to at least see how it plays out first.

As far as the squad thing goes, It hasn't been an issue for the Headhunters.  We just go low side everytime.  Everyone can get in then

When numbers were 120 Rooks, 65 Bish and 50 Knights, you chose to steamroll, and vice versa to other countries.   Now things have turned for the better.  

Noone's squad will "be split up", switch countries and it won't.   Chances within an hour or two your "precious chess piece will be available".  

Thank you HTC!:aok


Go with the herd, or be a whiner, you decide.

MUAHAHHAHA I cant wait!!!!!!

Wait till the squads are torn to peices and griping will be paramount!!!!

HTC needs to change the website though... making your own squad now will be pointless.. it needs to read... fly in a continiously changing arena beta test for only 15 dollars a month!
Fly with your friends for and hour till the horde logs on then be forced to fly with the ppl you just where fighting there by not getting cooperation ever again!

Be forced to fly in arenas that you dont want too in order to be with friends!!!!

There's another saying.

What's the best way to piss your customer off??...............

Give him exactly what he wants. :)


Got to have a little faith they know what they are doing and in the end the results will be beneficial for all parties involved.  Voicing concerns, offering opinions as adults and using the proper channels to express them are all good things.  No one is saying we all have to agree.  But from some of the stuff I've seen people pull, never rule out the fact that sometimes "firing" a customer is a good thing.

If for one have a belief that HTC is pointing this game down a new and better path and am willing to ride out and speed bumps as they work towards the destination.

well i guess the new arenas werent such a great idea since now the game has to be continuously "tweaked" in order to be "fair"...maybe the old slums that were enjoyed werent so bad...

that being said...i dont see what this accomplishes unless hitech et al really just dont want anyone to fly together at all....

lets use a regular night where most squads probably have 7-15 guys finding each other to enjoy some laughs and get some kills....what does switching countries accomplish?  if 5 guys try to fly together and have to switch from "A" to "B" and then 5 more guys show up and "B" is now ahead in numbers....can switching to "C" support 10 guys moving there together or will only 8 get in??????

maybe hitech could post the numbers that will dictate imbalance?  that might help me understand how it will play out....maybe on the arena page it could somehow let one know how many "under the cap" a country is so one could know where to tell your friends to meet you.

i have played as long as i have because of comradery...its a cartoon game otherwise...i hope we wont continue to see changes made that encourage arcade or "pick up basketball" as the encouraged way to play.  the recent changes removed the "drama" that the game once held for me...it will be sad if the longer term friendships will be removed as well.

like other vets here i have found my playing time has decreased dramatically...even KOTH last night was about 2/3 strength from where it used to be...i continue to find myself wondering why i just dont quit...stubborness is part im sure....the squad is the other.

If you don't like changes to AH then perhaps a boxed sim is a better choice.  That said, I do think this could adversly affect squads.  Squads will now have to change their outdated loyalties to a country.

Squad action/missions is what separates AH from most other sims.  Perhaps a AH could throw a bone to the squads by allowing them to reserve a number of slots in an arena.  

For instance 12 squad members show up for their squad night.  We meet in the lobby, sign up as a squad (kinda like a mission), then request 12 slots for whichever country AH needs to play balance.  There could be a limit to the number reserved to avoid a major unbalance and only registered squads would be allowed to reserve slots.

This would help keep the arenas balanced and promote a players allegience to his squad rather than a country.  As posted above, most squads enjoy a good fight and don't mind working for the underdog in the arena.  This would promote helping the underdog and I could see squads gaining much more allure to new players since they become more important.

Just an idea.


This makes it more and more like a box sim... numbers were this games biggest asset
