Timescales of AVA
« on: October 22, 2010, 08:16:40 AM »
Hi

Been playing AH for 10 years nearly but never seem to find anyone playing AVA in UK evening time. When is best to find people in this arena. I am soo bored of the MA.

Im usually on between 6:30 pm and 8:30 pm CST Monday thru Wednesday.  I'm only speaking for myself here but I think it would be fantastic if a bunch of you Euro guys got together and populated the arena during prime time over there. 

My formula for getting people to come in there if I'm alone is to up a plane and attack an enemy base.  Within 30 minutes I have several volunteer lead donors join me about 95% of the time.

Good luck

i generally log in(when i can) around 8 or 9 eastern time. if there's no one there, i go blow things up. someone comes in, then next ya know, there's about 10+ in there, and massive fun ensues.

I think Sparow tries to do this occasionally.  Perhaps you can get in touch with him?

We need an AvA alert system.

We use text messaging in our squad among a few of us.

Technology is at the point where we could come up with something. AOL IM or something similar. Skype.

Anyone have any ideas? I know I have free time and someone sending an alert for some AvA fun would prompt me to log in at odd hours of the day (USA odd hours).

Hello Fogold.
  I'm usually on around 8pm UK time.
I'm in either AvA or DA.  Give me a shout when you're on mate.

hey....if you level bomb.....the calibration is different. you have to put the crosshairs on your target, then hold the calibration key for a few seconds, while maintaining the crosshairs on target.  :aok

Skype isn't a bad idea...we can coordinate better this way...

Or...perhaps we can agree on a standardized time so that we know there will be folks on, sort of like a squad night but the squad is AvA.

Just tossing ideas out.

That would be great. I nearly quit the game because my squad split a coupla years back and I miss playing scenarios. The MA is just a rammy with little strategy. Sometimes its fun. Doesn't help that even after 10 years I still get my bellybutton handed to me in dogfights by whippersnappers with better situational awareness/quicker reflexes/better shooting than me  :rolleyes:

I don't have that much time either what with kids, work and Battlefield BC 2  :D

Of course people are gonna say  "don't moan about the MA, take a leadership role and set up missions yourself" which is true.

Deackin an undefended field still seems to start populating the AVA at pretty good rate.   :joystick:
