Midwar player numbers and mass deffection from Bish to Nit

[Traveler]

The number of Bish players in MW has gone down significantly in the last year or so.  Most have switched to Nits, a few to rook causing what was already an unbalanced arena to be so lopsidded there really is no point in playing anymore.  I dont play much anymore myself because of this and will actually be canceling my account next month because of it.  I have no desire to play in the MA.  Can anything be done to balance the numbers better in the smaller arenas? 

Even is something could be done, you won't be here to benefit from it.  As you announced that you have decided to cancel your account because of the unbalanced side in MW.  Sorry to see you go.  You might spend some of that last month of play in the LW.  As I don't think the sides three are that unbalanced.  Perhaps you might find some new friends to play with and aganist.  Hope you change your mind.

Grumpy just look at it as more targets.

How do you guys play with >20 people in an entire arena? Sounds incredibly boring and hard to find a fight...

A few years ago it was very easy to find a fight but the last couple of years the arena has been populated by squadrons that lack any testicle fortitude and/or skill to fight, which has resulted in the MW arena being nothing more than a slum for timid squadrons that like to capture undefended bases and farm perks.  You'd be hard pressed to go into the MW arena and find anyone with any sort of balls or skill to fight.

No. I have preached about it to those who do not try to balance the sides. I have told them what will happen. It was well on it's way and is about done now.

When you see 15 knit against 2 bish and no rooks it pretty much paints the picture for you. To top it off the 2 bish make a stand, the mass of knits will go attack the rook side that has no one on.

I all but stopped going in there. Most of the folks in there do not care about the game. They are in there to farm perks. Many will tell you just that.

MW used to have 60 people in it. It has the best planeset in the game. (IMHO) RIP MW.

I started going to EW because MW has become what it is. Only problem EW  hardley has anyone there. I really miss MW of old. Asking people in MW to switch to balence sides is a waste of time as most just want to fly with the horde and pick the one or two that are opposing. I had someone tell me the other night when I suggested that some of them switch, that they were "winning the war" and if I didnt like it I should go to LW. Those undefended bases were really putting up a fight I guess.

Anyway MW was the best place to be at one time, but I think those days are gone. Darn shame. I'll keep recruiting for more EW guys and maybe that arena can get some life put into it.

And theres your answer Grumpy. It sucks that your having to cancel your account but playing in there last night I fully understand.


I was the occasional visitor to MW, I have noticed quite a few regulars missing there of late. Last night I logged on for a few hours in MW to find the numbers per country 7,12,1 (I cannot remember which country had which) and a guy called Soren on the all channel calling NKL5 a dweeb he we always be the same etc etc NKL5 was on his own before I logged in and Soren was part of the 12.

Well grumpy you've been holding on for a long time . It's not only midwar but the entire game is infested with this style of play .Cut your losses and find somewhere else to spend your time .I did and glad i did .But anyways must be a cool trick to be #1 fighter and not be in the arena.unless everyone fighter mode is broken.

Is there a 12 hour wait till you can change countries in Midwar?

   I was wondering where you had gone!  We had some of the best fights....  I never actually thought i would hit the point that I would rather watch reruns on TV then log into the game and play but i find that more and more the case the last few months.

I dont see you switching from the horde to have the targets...

You know Grumpy it was not that long ago when the bish had the upper hand in MW. Not a lot of bish whining at that point best I remember.

My experience in MW is that there is a core group of squads and individuals that you can count on being there on a regular basis. The rivalry between these groups is what makes MW fun for me.

But as far as your original point it would be great if the numbers increased, rooks in particular could use some help.

 what's happening in midwar, is the same thing that killed early war. there are 2 squads that just roll bases. the fight you'll get is more of a gang rape, than a fight. not a very fun choice.

I cant remember a time in the last 3 years the bish have had any upper hand in MW.  Im not looking for any upper hand, i dont need one.  Id like to be able to log in with enough players on all 3 sides to actually have a fight.  Why up with 7 or 8 red guys flying around your base just to get picked before you get off the runway or bombed before you get to the town.  And when half of the 7 that are nit now were bish last week makes it even more aggravating.  They have taken an already bad situation and made it even worse.  Nice avoidance of my comment by the way, when was the last time you switched to make it more even or actually get a fight.  Or are you all just content with earning perk points for winning the war 5 times a day because there arnt enough numbers to stop you anymore?

As long as you get any, I would still be happy... kinda

 When they start to attack the other country just because a single player shows up to defend, it's over.

CAP!!!!!!!!  where have you been man, long time no see.  Its not even 2 squads at this point.  A lot have left bish for nit because of a certain player and I have no problem saying TonyJoeys name at this point.  Ive played that arena for years and have seen a steady decline over the last 3 or so.  Almost every one the leaves points the finger at him.  I think its an excuse myself, he gets on my nerves to but im not in his squad so he cant say much to me.  Even if he did why let 1 guy yelling at everyone make me switch sides and further unbalance the game.  Ive offered this before and I will offer it again, anyone tired of the yelling and screaming is more then welcome to join me.  I wont tolerate it period.  

 I miss the old days in AVA cap, have they brought back the no icon settings yet?
