2 LW arenas

[crazyivan]

With the new 16 player H2H arena's I say no to, 2LMA's.

Well since you want to hear it, this gives me a little added motivation. 

I'll give you my opinion. 

Looking forward to what you have.

Sounds to me like the way it was set up is the reason it was fun, not because the humans playing were any different than the humans that play now. 

I actually have an incredibly promising strategic addition that would promote sustainable, meaningful combat in a way this game has never seen.  It will be hard for me to muster up motivation for a proposal though since I am usually ignored.  Doesn't seem to be worth the effort at this time.

I believe that set up kept the focus on combat, not conquest.  It's flip flopped now where the focus is conquest with minimal combat if possible.  It made it worthwhile to get involved in the defense of those limited base captures as it protected your foothold on the other guys turf so you could get to the combat part faster.  Of course they wanted you out of their front yard so it was a constant back and forth.  Once the base taking expanded, avoiding a fight in the name of speed and 'winning the war' took over.

Ok soooooooooooo what does 90% of what you all posted here have to do with 2 LW arenas. What would be so wrong having 2, if I dislike a map or bored with a map I could go to another arena, just have NO arena caps

With that logic wouldn't 8 maps be better than 2?

Point is, the player base has thinned out over the past year to the point that people aren't having fun with 2 maps at most times during the day because there simply aren't enough players.

 make a town white flaged at 50 %  ?

I'm torn on this one.  I am a firm believer in having at least one late war map that is large enough to allow a front line that is more than 2 bases wide.

and 300 to 500 players on a small ap is a real joy also......not

So is 80-100 on a large map. So the current situation is a good compromise, as we have small & large maps in the rotation, so neither daytime nor night players are getting the downside constantly.
And since the the single LW format went online, we are playing on a large map about 2/3rd of the time.

Now large maps are bad too?

Doesn't anyone remember the constant complaints when we had 2 main arenas.

I guess you just can't win

HTC could be providing people with a case of good scotch and an open-minded blonde coed to deliver it with your subscription and people would still find something to complain about with that.

A different dozen or so people complain either way, but honestly I'm not even sure the majority actually cares much either way.  You see what, maybe a half dozen people in an evening grumbling about the setup?  Out of the 300 and change on at a time?

That makes sense.  Too much sense

Making sense here is a violation of bbs policy I'm pretty sure
