What you guys dont understand is the fact that this "bad talk" is confined to just a few bad apples. Many of us enjoy interacting with other players... ALL PLAYERS. With No Ch1, the "community" aspect of the game has been taken way out of the picture.
I can't help but think HTC is more concerned with getting new players on board and less concerned with how the players who have been around for a while feel about changes that are being made.
DO NOT get me wrong here. I understand HTC's concerns. But I also beleive that there needs to be a middle ground to be had. Rather, we have "That takes care of that" and its gone and it doesn't matter if you like it or not.
I couldn't agree MORE with Silat with what he said. I have completely removed myself from the game. Myself, and many of my squad mates are even looking for new games out there to play. Thats not something I like to admit, nor like to think about. I really loved Aces High for many reasons. The biggest was the fact that no matter what was going on in the air, I always had something to talk about and someone to talk to on Ch1.
Many of you guys who talk about how bad Ch1 is don't understand the simple fact that it wasn't always 'bad' nor was it really that 'bad' just before it was taken away. We seemed to get a few very bad apples that came into the game. I've said it many times before. A little smack talk or poking fun is good IMHO. It puts some competition into the game. Adds.... Well it adds some 'spice'... What we have now is just a bland plain white wrapper filled with nothing more than saw dust.
The player interaction is near NIl. WHat I mean is player interaction with in the community as a whole. Not just with your fellow countrymen. Which to me (the community aspect) is what kept me around and playing as long and as much as I used to and hoped to keep doing. Its sad but I really just dont want to play anymore because of this horrible change.
HiTech when I talked to you a while back (on the phone) you honestly were making some sence to me. With your reasons for getting rid of Ch1... I still had my doubts that it was a 'good thing' for the game but I was not about to tell you what I thought you should do with your company.
Well I still wont tell you what I think you should do but I will tell you what I think about the change you've made to the game with getting rid of Ch1 completely and offering no 'middle ground' (by middle ground I mean keep Ch1 but offer it as default off). You said there were mods in the game (many of them). I can almost positively say that is not the case. I've seen many times one person rolling off one absurd remark after another with near impunity. For an hour or more at times. Where were the mods then?
Basicly what I think you did to the game is take a well rounded COMMUNITY BASED game and turned it into little more than solitary confinment. That whole circle of 400+ friends is not broken up and separated like children. And its sad because not all acted as such. And the ones that did were not properly dealt with, because if they were they wouldn't have continued to be seen spewing garbage.
When I first started playing I learned a TON of info from Ch1 by reading what was going on and what was being said. I had a very easy way to ask a question and have it answered almost immediately. New players no longer have this option. I highly doubt most new players coming into the game even know about Ch200. They do not have the benifit that others had when they were able to ask a question to not only those on their team but to ask it to the entire Main Arena. And lets face it, when you ask a question on Ch2 the likely hood of you getting an answer it next to imposible many times. But if you call out that a vulch is going on players will jump out of their chairs and flock to one base for 2 or 3 vulches. Ch1 was seen by all that had it tuned. It was used by the vast majority of those who played the game. Those who complained cried like little girls about how bad it was COULD have and SHOULD have squelched it, if it was as hard to stand as they seem to think it was.
Its like lighting a torch, touching it, getting burnt, and doing it again. Hey stupid! Turn it off! Then go on your marry way.
Basicly what I think about the whole thing is simple...
Blah.
But I guess it no longer matters what I think or anyone else thinks. Right?
