New radar = boring ...bring back old radar

[Ack-Ack]

the game has changed sense that post was made over 4 years ago 

but not the reason for the arena caps or split arenas.


ack-ack

Yes WMLute, you are correct sir. But many are not.. Many are the horde that other used to complain about before the radar changes when the NOE crowd used to do it.. Went went from noe smash and grabs to mindless hordes that turn into a fur ball. I do not think that anyone is right or wrong about these things. everyone seems to have a different opinion of them.. I think we can all agree that we enjoy playing the game..

And furballs are stopping you from doing those other types of game play how?

This game is all about fighting....

furballs = fighters fighting each other

base captures = attackers fighting defenders

bombing strats = defenders fighting attackers.

perks for winning the war = a waste of time   You can get more with a few flights in a G2, but again it's attackers fighting defenders just on a larger scale.

All of which you can still do, but now you have to fight for it instead of trying to avoiding fighting for it.

99/100 of what you call "mindless furballs" are actually fights for bases.

ya beat me to it. i've started more than my share of air battles, just by trying to take a base.

Looking at my last 10 or so tours, I sure get killed alot avoiding fights. Must need to learn how to avoid them better. I am not downing any type of game play my friend. If you read my comments on this post, I am basically saying to others that they should accept every type of game play.. Please read what I said before reaching your conclusions... Where did anyone say anything about avoiding the fight? I just think that the radar changes took some of the fun out of the game. Am I not entitled to my own opinion ?

Me and my squad got into a huge fight last night in Orange trying to take P14. We got it after two hours of mayhem.  It was a fun battle by the way. I must have died 20 times, must of those by eggs.  I am not worried about scores. I will up at a camped spawn more than once if I think I can get the camper.

If another players says that he doesn't like the radar settings, or that he doesn't like the fur ball, many of you guys say that he must be avoiding the fight. To some the fight is only part of the game. To some the fight is the way to moving the map and taking bases..

Sure we can all adapt and we do. But that does not mean that this is better.
If ppl wanted to find the bombers before the change they could. They just had to work a little harder.
But i guess you dont want to work for that?

Oh and im not speaking of the NOE setting just the Radar rings.

i've never had trouble finding bombers. killing them on the other hand.......

i think i'm getting the gist of their complaints..........they're upset, 'cause now they think it's gonna be harder to be sneaky and avoid combat in a combat game where some form of combat is the normal.

some of us do accept it, and do it too.

You must be a mind reader Sir. I didn't read that on any comments others have made in this thread...

yes it has, since.  The reason I posted it was in reply that the caps were made because of the hoard.  Which is not exactly true.  It may have been part, but clearly other reasons as well.  I also included a quote from HT as to give some insight as to why he makes changes in the game....not because it's what the vocal minority wants.  I really have no idea what you are rolling your eyes at.  Unless you are thinking that at any moment HT is going to remove caps?  Or maybe he no longer holds the belief that game designs influences how people play the game and he's just shooting from the hip?  Maybe people shouldn't bother looking back to see why things are the way they are?  Please elaborate.

How would the act of restoring the radar rings to the old limits affect the "I only want COMBAT" crowd?  It seems that, by lowering the detection altitude, this crowd should be satisfied as NOEs are now more difficult.  By restoring the rings back to where they were, it would placate the "win the war" crowd/bomber groups and let them have their chance at surprise/cat-and-mouse games.  I know some dedicated furballers like to siphon players from the crowd for 1v1s also.  I would imagine this could be harder if one were to be detectable all by his lonesome at all times. 

Rigth now it's tuesday, we have no caps, and the dar rings are back to old size. I haven't seen any complaint about not being able to find a fight yet.

Despite all this super tactics, war status and
map changing are s*** bad ! Or not !?

A8 yestarday was 12 hours of furballing - i know nights are youngers.  

I play there also!!!

I saw every sort of massive, splitted, 'kamasutrian' or 'masochistic' attempt to defeat the bishops resistance.

At the end A8 fall down because after 3 hours on 12 of this 'shining' combat action my balls (and bishops too i suppose)
becomed  so big and in a fast rotation status that the seat cannot fill them.

 

 

May I suggest an English as a Second Language course (ESL-100) as an elective when you return to school this semester.

Here is a idea, give us one old style arena, this means old town, old base layout, old radar etc. Would everyone be happy then?
