A Whine Has Been Recorded...

This is almost as funny as SirPyro's whine about how he hated AH2 because he could no longer solo capture an undefended base.

If these guys had played in the beta they would have known what to expect. Same with the guys that are whining about their systems not being up to par. They've all had ample opportunities to test out AH2 before it went live.

ack-ack

Steve, the gunnery isn't that hard. Just had a 6 kill sortie in a spit 9 with 92 rounds of 20mm leftover. 5 of the 6 kills were @ d200 icon range, the other was @ d400. I usually got close before firing anyway in AH .

However i have had several d600 kills in the mossie in AHII... so long range kills are still possible. It just requires more luck than skill now. As perhaps it should be.

AKAK.....what most of us have been posting the last month or so.

Telling Peeps they best get to AHII to get used to it.

He isn't quiting.

He is getting a ghost account until he can get a good rank as Steve again.

In a month or so we will read the "I'm Back!" post.

No, I think it’s a major change, not a step back Steve. And if it indeed is, the community will make it known, and HTC will listen. But not after 2 days. Your not done with AH.

Look, getting used to it will take time. I can’t remember ever feeling real bad for slaughtering newbies in AH1, but since the change, a lot of the “Vets”, if you will, are feeling that frustration because everything you learned is now a bit different and new. I know I am.

It’s time to relax, keep playing, and make a decision in a month or 2 at least. These quit posts were as certain as taxes, and for you HTC faithful piling on them, is just as bad and doesn’t help HTC at all.

Take a breath, fly more than ever, get used to it. If you don’t like it after a month, sure, voice your opinion, and vote with your $.

But to judge what you like in 1 or 2 days and stop playing? Your wife is pry ecstatic.

Heh...AHII just gave me an exuse to justify (to myself) a new video card.

I think this is a great post.

AHII is significantly different from AHI (in spite of what some have posted on the subject) and because of that, we are going to lose some players. Steve's talked about what he doesn't like, and what's caused him to leave the game, and while he questions why these changes were made he recogonizes that it's all a matter of opinion.

Anyhow, I bet there would still be people playing with "Periscope" view, from AW if it were available.
Hope you come back sometime Steve.

The icons take about 2 days to get used to... lol... he was half way there.

You will be back, we all come back. Cya then!

Personally, I feel much the same way Steve does about the range icon. By the time the graphics tell me what the other guy is doing...I am pretty well screwed. Quit? Nay! But, I will no longer chase higher dots, daring them to come down and get me (winning those kinds of fights was always my favorite guilty pleasure

). Heck, all a decent roper has to do is reverse within 500 yards and I won't know it until he is already in my face.

Bottomline for me, I would have liked to see the changes phased in over a period of a few months, instead of dumped in all at once. Can I adjust and learn the "new" game? Of course I can. I'm just not sure I am willing to put up with the sever buttwhoppin' it will take to do so

True Hajo, I agree, but some of us have been playing beta a bit with some problems, asking questions about these problems and working on trying to get the probs corrected and still have gotten no resolution to them.
I guess it will all come out in the wash.

Maybe it is because I have only been playing AHI since this January, or maybe because my skill level was relatively low to begin with so I didnt have far to get back to where I was in AHI, but I did not find adapting to AHII all that hard. I think AHII is significantly different (read better), especially the range data. I dont think the gunnery is different, I think the lower level of range data is causing people who depended on the "laser range finder" in AHI to think gunnery is different when it is not. It only took me about 30 min to adapt and I cant imagine anyone quitting over the difference.
