Ambushes and Convoy raids, did you miss them?
« on: September 13, 2004, 03:12:21 pm »
You may or may not have noticed that there were no ambushes or Convoy Raids on GW3.  Ambushes were pulled because quite frnakly, they are stupid.  Convoy raid was pulled becaue the ED version works like a reverse ambush and the Karnak one was not ready in time.

Did anyone miss them?

I guess I actually did not notice, but I am glad they were gone.

I didn't miss the ambush missions.  Convoy Raids, on the other hand, I did miss.  I've always liked that mission.

I agree with Kroma and Firesoul, the ambush can go but I would like to see the occasional convoy mission

Again, the only reason there were no convoy raids was becsue the ED one was "broken" and the EEK was not ready in time.   

I kinda dig the occasional Convoy Mission myself . . .

Didn't miss the ambushes.

Would have liked the old raids though.

Convoy would be nice to have back if it drafted correctly.

I didn't miss them much, but would like to see both, but as a rare mission.

      The ambush that sounds pretty challenging if it is anything like original Taldren one.There is more PPs if you can take both ship out.

Now as for ambushes I liked the Big Game mission, if it could void out to a patrol in P v P it would be perfect.

Convoy would be nice to have back if it drafted correctly.

Exactly what I was thinking.

Convoy mission would be best if more than one live defender could be drafted to offset the usual mutiple attackers. 

Ambush mission:  don't need it, didn't miss it.
