I too dislike the "new" arena settings. Its like TT everyday now and like lots have said its one huge vulch fest or the other with little to no attempt to capture a base. I havent flown much since the change because its just no fun now. If i wanted to endlessly fuball hmm i would got to the furball arena.

The simples solution would be to make two full time arenas. One for furball junkies with small maps small grids  and no eny so they can just furball till their eyes bleed  :) .  Then have another arena for those that like to bomb and capture bases and do the "dreaded win the war" part of the game. To me this would completely eliminate all the arguing and complaining by both sides and i see no downside to it though I'm sure many will tell me where I'm wronge.

Either way i pay my money and that's my op.    :salute

luche,people dont like the set-up..dont get all huffy because they voice there opinion,dont get so defensive..I still think that weekends,the WHOLE WEEKENDS should be NORMAL 2 arena splits,and as luche said,bring it back to 12 noon from 4pm for the LWA to be back to 2 arenas on weekdays..

 Luche,you have already said in an earlier post that you would agree that weekends should be left alone with 2 LW arenas.

 Luche,there has been NO big rook/nit fight since this map rotation started,both small maps..Rooks only hit nits after they had over 40% bish to the reset..

The OFFHOUR map NEEDS TO BE A LARGE MAP ALWAYS period...

Where I did get huffy in this thread because someone voiced an opion?

I do get huffy when people start to make things up to prove their point:

Luche,there has been NO big rook/nit fight since this map rotation started,both small maps.

I was in them.

your like a cat on the attack for anyone who may have some reason to not like the new set-up...

 yea..fights when you guys went to roll the nits to get the reset.

 And just to clarify..I am speaking of the Off-hours map..not the normal orange/blue map

Its like TT everyday

QFT - I don't even log in during morning hours since the change. Which means I barely log in at all as the a.m. was my main playing time. I avoid Tits up-Tuesdays like the plague.

I don't even know how to give a serious comment on that...  


Dont comment, or they will eventualy discover our evil attempts to finally rule the skies of AH.

They came close to discovering our master plan when someone let out that rooks must always fly at 22k, Nits must never ever pork and bish only NOE.

We actualy had to kill a player when he caught on that HTC staff only log on as Rook for a reason and nits never got ENY.

Yes it is but for some unknown reason the people who love furballs wont go there. Oh and im sure its nothing to do with score keeping either.  All day you hear the same guys say i want to 1 v1 all day in the MA but know its almost imposible and they still dont go to furball lake or the DA and do 1 v1 so it must be something and that of course is nothing to do with the score keeping.

Two arenas, one for each style is simple and easy solution to most of the issues everyone has.

Some of my fondest playtime memories are of playing when the other two countries are ganging up on us and we're backed into a corner.  It beats having no one to fight.
I edit a lot of my posts.  Get used to it.

OK, the morning hours now have about the same number of people in them as the "unpopular" arena during early prime-time did with the old cap system.

You miss the 30 person LW arena?  Try MW or EW.  I actually fought someone in EW this week... Twice.   :aok

I'm really not getting the whines in this thread.  

Too many people early?  (The same amount in a "full" capped arena.)  

Two sides ganging one side?  Happens to everyone.  

In the ganging case, I've switched to one of the ganging sides, since ENY isn't a problem for me, and attack the other ganging side.

This can help your original country by opening up that second front as well as possibly raising your new country's ENY.  At the very least, you know the enemy is busy somewhere else.

OK Mr. Snail, what you need to show is arena numbers uncapped early versus a full, capped arena to demonstrait the difference.  NONE.

We need a chart.

Again  :noid there goes a point sailing way over the head.  

Arenas are capped for a reason.  So, I assume that would continue even if arenas were split between furball and win the war arenas.   Players would still not be assured a position in their desired arena.  

I have to agree with AWwrgwy, EW and MW seem to be a viable substitute for the old OFF hours LWBlue that has been consolidated.  These are the hours that I fly in early mornings EST, possibly close to Euro player prime time.  The new, OFF hours LW arena opens up more available fights, and for my preference more of a reason to stay engaged rather than just log off due to boredom.

Man, not trying to whine, just giving my perspective to the community. I read all the material here on the forums, read the message of the day,  understood HiTech's reasons for doing it and for the most part agreed with those reasons. I just find myself enjoying it less as a result.

oh yea? what are you gonna do when all the so-called "furballers" show up in your base taking arena, and just "furball" while you're trying to take bases? How you gonna keep em out of that arena? Disable fighters? make it so planes can only attack buildings, not other planes?
