What if we have titanic tuesdays everyday?

[Perrine]

You know, having a single late war arena with 500+ people logged in.
Having that much people concentrated in one arena is the closest we can get to numbers seen in  Battle of Britain, Battle of kursk and the Defense of The Reich, but on a daily basis.  I think that makes total war (in WW2 fashion) interesting.

That's exactly the reason why the arenas were split in the first place. We used to have a single MA until 4 years ago.

I'm still debating over whether the split arenas REALLY "fixed" the problems of the 500+ arena, or just spread the issues out across multiple smaller ones. I really never saw much change in the mentality, only in the number of planes in the air.

Not sure what fixed is, but I sure know that from my persepctive, Titanic Tuesday is the least enjoyable flying night.  Amazing to see that many folks on, and no one really wanting to fight.

Easier to create a fight in the two arena set up from what I see

Why not?

If we are down for "Internets Premier WW2 Combat experience" I think we should adopt (or rather re-adopt) a single main arena with numbers the closest we can get to total war (in WW2 fashion) as seen in air battle over English coast and the massive, epic air and ground tactical battle at Kursk  Speaking of Kursk I doubt this massive air/ground battle will ever be topped in the 21st century.

It's about the only night left for me to fully enjoy AH. If I want to see any level of activity that like the one i got a few years ago, I have to stay up to US prime, about 4am my time.
Currently the numbers at my prime are quite low, the arena cap is very much strangling the action for hours at my prime. Actually I never have seen so few players online at my time since I started playing AH.

I actually have tracked the numbers for a whole week. At last during the weekdays, total population of both LW arenas combined pretty low, going over 400 for a very short time only if at all. The only exception seems to be Tuesday... go figure

[Jayhawk]

The biggest problem with this: How will the world function with 7 Tuesdays?  Businesses with halt, world militaries will fall apart, and religions won't know when to meet.  At least we'll have plenty of time to play Aces High then!

Because war isn't fun, and we're playing a game and in that game more does not always mean better.  I understand that some of the European players sort of get the short end of the stick with the arena caps but I have to agree, that IMHO Tuesdays are the least enjoyable night of the week for me.

Gameplay has never been the same since the LWA was split in two.

I agree it is amazing and to some degree happens most nights of the week.  I just don't get it.

I'd have to agree to the point where I find myself even bothering to play less because of the activity level.
Typically lately when I log on And Ill use a couple of nights ago for example. Bish and rooks were fighting each other and there was very little activity between Knits and either of them. Oh plenty of knits were up. but all it was was a landgrab against what was basically token resistance.

And when its not like that. often it seems like 5 billion to one Bish/rooks against knits landgrabbing us I dont particularly care for hording, Nor do I particularly care to be constantly horded or gangbanged.  As much as I love the game. I find neither activity fun.

So I play less. After all. there isnt much point in playing if it isnt going to be fun.

The split arenas have also seemed to render the lager maps pointless And I love the big maps when there are enough players to fill them, (such as TT) But every other day lately when I log on it seems as described above.

Now I dont like arena caps or split arenas. I know its been explained as to why they are there and I understand that. Still dont like em though. But thats besides the point.
But if we are going ot have the split arenas and arena caps. then maybe we should dich the large maps for the medium sized ones and just save the large maps for TT.

On another rant. What is with everyone hiding in the field ack? Seems since they upgraded the field ack intensity  as soon I run into someone where the numbers are about even or in a 1 V 1. As soon as they loose even a small bit of advantage. They go run and hide in the feild ack to try and collect proxies and only come out of it far enough to try and get you to chase them into it again. And Im not even talking about a horde situation. I'm seeing this more and more with even evenly matched fights.

Considering you dont get any points for a proxie kill.  If your base isnt getting horded or your not being gangbanged. I just dont see the point

I've been noticing pretty much the same thing for a while now as well

For the amount of people who say they dont like TT. It does seem to be the most popular night of the week

[Lusche]

You may not get perk points, but they are legit kills for score purposes

[DREDIOCK]

LOL then proxie kill from field ack is a loophole that seriously needs to be closed. All it does is promote lame game play,

However. I DO think that if your fighitng someone and can get them to eat a tree, Kiss the side of a barn or loop them into the ground. you should not only get kills awarded to your score. but perkies as well LOL

that at least takes some degree of skill to accomplish

IMO when the arenas split, AH stopped being a sim and became an arcade game.  Won't bother explaining what I mean.  Those that feel the same already know.
