The game play lately sucks!
« on: April 12, 2015, 11:10:15 PM »
Ive come home from work the last two nights hoping for some good gaming on Fri. and Sat. nights. Bother night we've had griefer's bombing HQs. Heres the thing. Without an HQ you dont know if its one M16 attacking a base or 30 enemies. Maybe not a problem when we had the numbers of old, tho I NEVER remember this kid of HQ griefing back them.

But now? Its like an automatic reduction of 25% of the player base. I know cause I look! HQ griefing is killing whats left of this game. When you have only an hour or two to play you cant use them just trying to find a 1/2 decent fight, or resupping a GD HQ.

Theres no reason for me to pay for a month, only get to play a few hours a weeks, and have to deal with this HQ BS!

Honestly how in hell do you think you'll get new players in the game?

Yep last time I was on, hq was down most of the time. Then nits started floating 8-9 lanc fleets as low alt missions because nobody could intercept them. Everyone was complaining how stupid it was. I logged. Yesterday I didn't even bother to play again.

HTC needs to harden the HQ so that it will take at least 3-4 full sets of lancs to kill or get rid of the radar blinding ability once and for all.

Sorry to inform you Zack but for most of us, especially the non Canadians, the HQ is not in your underpants.

The people who say "Up and defend it" are flat out ignorant.

2 of us upped and had 14 kills between 2 birds....HQ still went down (that's not including the other 4-5 people who upped to defend.


FesterMA, the HQ is pretty much undefendable....don't know how easy the fix would be...but a spawn into the HQ would make resupping it at least more efficient....sector plus flight in a goon is no way to spend a night in a COMBAT simulator.

Also get rid of town resupping, saw 10+ M3s resupping a town...that's 10 players avoiding combat.

-1 sorry junky i enjoy my 3.75 gv perks from resupping twn and throwing the enemy's timing off...unless of course our city and or AAA strats have been hit hard then I don't bother...PS M3 drivers in no way avoid combat. .I've killed planes and other M3s with the troops in my M3 while resupping  ..and get killed allot as well. .the average life expectancy of an M3 driver is 7 min...which is 3 min longer than when I up a plane :neener: :devil

If the HQ is down when I log on, I just log off.
Its too hard to find a fight.
What's the point of staying on and wasting my time ?

At least the scenarios can't be ruined by the playstation/xbox children.

Town resupply is stupid.  Why up to defend a base when you can run an ant size gv in to supply it?  Doesnt make much sense to me in a game focused on combat.

Don't post this garbage here... what do you think the Mr. ButtheadHQbomber is going to do?  Say "Oh gee, I'm sorry for ruining the game".  Nooooooo.  Mr. Butthead is going to belly laugh a bit, then log on and up a set of Lancs bound for HQ.  Ever seen Spongebob when Patrick is running around laughing like a fool?  This is who you're dealing with... they simply do not care about anything other than killing HQ and irritating everyone (but their own, and sometimes them to).  Can you reason with Patrick?  No.  IQ is required for reason.  Better to send an email or message HTC.  CALL them for crying out loud.  Really, all day, every day, call call call email message email email call... annoy them.  Then when they tell you they're annoyed, ask'em if they ever play AH while HQ is down.   :x :bolt:

I agree the HQ stuff is nonsense, just the other day around 11 PM in FesterMA, all three countries had their HQ down for over 60 minutes...two of them over 100

I always wondered why the strategically most important asset has the weakest anti-aircraft defense.  Heck, a v-base has more ack guns than the HQ! Please surround the HQ for 20 miles with so much AA that is makes Hanoi during the Vietnam war look undefended.

Why does it only take 1 set of lancs to kill an HQ anyways? Shouldn't it be significantly higher than that? Should require a large bomber force to even dent it.
