Should be ok now.


 :frown: Thats to bad.  I enjoyed seeing all those DA only furballers in the main. It gave them a reason to try it and any skills they've learned while flying in the DA could have been expanded on. I think if it could have kept up for a few more days the DA guys could have learned even more and may have wanted to make a switch. It also could have been the start of a new DA bringing it back to the days of old.

Many in the DA can not compete in the MA's

meh...

1. I agree this game has more to offer than an endless furball, like, for example, endless landgrab.  :aok

2. People play in the DA for various reasons from personal to technical. Same for any arena, no?   :aok

3. The old DA never went away. Nothing stops people from using the paired bases for 1 v 1 or just a more "respectful" free for all area (which has and is being done). The only difference is killshooter is on.  :aok

4. Many more in the MA's can't compete in the MA's.  :aok   (nor in the DA's FurBlake.   :aok )

OMG  :rofl  This is coming from an A8?  :rofl  What have you guys learned in the MA so far?  How to fly in packs, pad scores, and die way too fast?    :rofl

Why is it that the MAers think they have to "convert" the DAers.  Some of us like flying and shooting down other planes without all the encumberances of ENY, taking bases, bombers, losing fields, radar out, etc.  We had what we wanted in 8 player and now we have to make do in the DA.  HT's decision to close 8 player has resulted in the furball area of the DA becoming what it has become.  It works for now.  We furballers pay our money and thus have paid for the use of the arenas available to us.  Everyone who enjoys this game enjoys some aspect of it more than others...some are tank guys, some like bombers, some are great at ground flak.  They can each play the type and style of play they like here and pay for the priveledge.  The DA was running correctly last night and guess what?  There were about 60-70 guys in there (most of them at furball lake) playing the style of game they like to pay to play.  Some of they guys from my squad left from the DA and went to MA but were back in a few minutes because the MA was resetting after a war and they didn't want the hassle.

Oh, and I find there are a lot of MAers who cannot compete in the DA...that doesn't make them inferior in any way, it just means they don't like or can't handle that style of play. <S> to them... I know the feeling.

I haven't flown much for several months now, but i spent a couple of hours in the DA to freshen up my ACM and gunnery.  From my experience the overall skill level in the DA was noticebly lower than the MA, it was so poor it made me want to go to the TA to help people.

Ten of you jump on one guy and then move on to the next one.
There's no challenge.
No skill involved.
And definitely no sense of fair play.

The MA horde squads are just as pathetic. It's only more concentrated in the furball area because it's a smaller arena.
When more people start honoring better fights and game play, the furball area will be great.

Get real guy, there is and never was fair play in war or the MA...in the furball or MA, I expect HOs, picks and ganging...I've been there and experience it.  None of it bothers me.  All the whining about it DOES bother me.  Grow up.  The MA is NOT better than anywhere else...you just have to fly longer to get to it.

So if you are OK with how you play, quit trying to defend it.  As most discussions here prove.  No one is going to convince anyone of anything.   The MA guys apparently don't think much of you guys who run your squads in the DA.  You clearly don't think much of the MA guys.  Your argument is the MA guys don't fly the DA so how would they know.  Well you don't fly the MA so how would you know?

See how this works? :)

You want folks to grow up.  Well start the new year with applying your own advice.  It's your dime. Who cares what anyone else thinks?  Go have fun and quit justifying it. :aok
