Is anyone excited for AHII anymore?

[muckmaw]

I know I was at a fever pitch for the new game back in October, but with so much time passing, I seem to have lost interest and not kept up with the goings on at HTC.

Did they give  a ballpark date as to when AHII will be completed?

I'm downloading all the updates, but I'm just uninspired because there is no one on to fight most of the time.

Thoughts?

[Tarmac]

I can't wait until we see new planes again.  The biggest thing I'm looking forward to (besides new planes) in AH2 is being able to choose your plane's skin.  A more complex damage model is a close second.  

The graphics update will be nice, but nothing more than a small plus.

[MaddDog]

I agree with Tarmac, im not much of a beta tester, i mean i stop in to check out the new DM and skins etc sometimes. But i dont really keep track of all the info on it.

Once its out im sure itll be worth it, and once new planes start comin again, i think more people will come back with renewd interest.

[muckmaw]

I think you guys have spoken for me.

I check the boards, but it's hard to get excited about patches that fix bugs.

So what about the time frame?

[MaddDog]

neg no time yet, just the usual "2 weeks".

I'm from over the hill originally where they released a half baked WBIII that split the community in half and never recovered.

I'm REAL excited with AH2 and it's progress. I'm seeing framerates continually improve and features and planes being brought up to top shelf BEFORE it becomes a choice as to whether you can continue to play the game, upgrade, or pack it in.

It's not going live until it right.

I wouldn't have it anyother way.

AH1 is quite enough to hold me over until its "right" and goes live.

Muck ya bastage let's get down in the fur for some ya-ya's

I check the HTC news every couple days hoping for some exciting news. It's a disappointment to see news like we just got today. It seems like the same old, fixed this, tweaked that, changed something else.

It seems there is still a LONG way to go before AHII will be released as full version 2.0 and then it will be even longer for the so called "Tour of Duty" aspect.

The things I want to see most still seem to be missing from AHII and like has been mentioned, there is nver anyone to play against in the beta.

My major complaint still is the P-51D flight model... it still won't stall or spin, even when you try real hard to make it. To me, that says the whole FM of AHII has flaws. If AHII doesn't make an FM that requires players to know something about E management and combat tactics, I will probably end up cancelling my account.

I'm terribly excited for AH2.  The new FM alone is more than enough for me.  I'd like it to be out sooner rather than later, but i don't mind waiting untill it's ready.

[Swoop]

Excited?

Like others have said, it's kinda hard to get excited about patches that merely fix minor bugs.


It would be a lot easier to get excited if we had a vague idea of what's coming, like for example in that thread the other day where people were whinging about the graphics looking the same as AH1......when HT dropped in and mentioned they'd got searchlights and other cool stuff that'll work with the new graphics engine.  Now that perked me up a bit, ok........no screenshots, no official announcement, but HT letting slip something we didn't already know!  Woo!

Shake dem pom poms!

ok stop now.


It would keep a lot of peoples interest up if HTC actually told us anything, anything at all.  We've been waiting since early 2003 for a FAQ as well.

[jodgi]

I'm excited!

Really am.

I've played most betas and had many good fights. Even though the FM is not final I feel that the FM is more organic than that of AH1. I find plenty of things that keeps me excited!

I'm easily amused.

[mudder]

I try to remain calm at all times or I might have an "accident".
Nopoop said it all for me.:

WARNING The following is the view of a single pilot and does NOT reflect HTCS officail position.

Ht doesn't tell me anything he doesn't tell the rest of you guys. However, it seems they've been cranking out a LOT of those patch's recently.

I'm guessing but I'd say we are weeks, or month or two away not years.


I do know they are working hard on it, and its a HUGE project.  Like nopoop pointed out a bad release can screw up everything.

It will come soon enough.

Its Getting close

Must have been a weak moment but that was seen in reply to a statement online in AH2 that it looks ready for prime time.

[jodgi]

"AHII is around the corner..."

Skuzzy said this in the MA the other day. He then suddenly remembered to pull out his Politician Talk Manual and went on:

"I never said how big the corner is, jodgi..."



I tend to remember the first line.
