The DA furball lake filled that roll for a few years. There were whole squads in there and some even thought they were better at the game than the MA vets who dropped in from time to time. I guess they were if it was 12v1 or HOing. But, it gave them a community and for the most part kept them out of the MA. Wasn't a bad place to do a few warm ups before facing the sharks in the MA.
Yup, it was great. The problem is the DA furball area is not set up to make the fights quick anymore. It also encourages ganging, high alt advantage picking, ack hugging, and so on.
I think if Hitech simply just changed all the fields to green, turn off kill shooter, and change the furball area to 4-5 bases 5 miles apart with 0 alt advantage. Then change it to a free for all, It would create quick action, people would have fun, it would discourage team gangs, high alt fighting, ack hugging, and vulching.
The 1v1 area would stay the same. You can still use it like you do now. Only thing that changes is you shoot at a green guy.
I really think a simple change like this would help the DA/FFA attract new players. It would be a lot of fun. People would learn the game. It would be great for a quick warm up.
I also like AKAKs new player arena, and I think it should be set up exactly the same.
People want quick fights when they don't have longer than 30 minutes to play. I think you would see a huge revamp of players who are still getting a feel for the game, it would bring interest back to older players.
