"Im not typical...thats the first thing. This new system has been in place not even 24 hours yet. And people are ready to jump ship cause they cant fly "Their Plane". Well I didn't hit the lottery Wednesday either. So I'm not playing. I didn't get to play with a squaddie that has been gone a couple months enuff either. So the Heak with it I quit my job.

So many just ready to cash in and go play someplace else...SO..Lemme be a good doorman and open it for em


Your missing the whole point. Go back to kicking um out the door.

Ahh yeah..Im always nice to folks in the MA..I give em a NICE BIG target to kill repeatedly. Even if they arent in "Their Plane"

I have a saying....

Build a bridge and get over it.

If I can do it..anyone can. Besides...If my ride gets perked or taken away from me for a few minutes or couple of hours... I can ALWAYS fly a Spit I.  hehehehehehe:lol

Missing the Point

Hitech is responding to the complaint from many Bish/Knits of the extremely irritating habit that the Rooks have of having multiple squads using Sunday as their squad nite.

So freakin' what?  We get 60 point 262's those nites.  

I see their equalizing answer as just a bad way of making a level playing field.  Missions cannot be planned and there is no way to play consistantly with this new system.

It is a very bad answer and extreme overkill to take the enjoyment of the game away from everybody just because a few more people might show up at any time.

This ain't daddy's credit card.  It is mine and there are other games I can use it to play on.

I will not continue paying if this equalizing system continues.

For the record, HiTech has said that the system will remain in place for more than "a few days or weeks"  So you might want to keep that in mind.

Maybe take a break until the system is tweaked, and everything evens out a bit.

Not that it really matters but just for enlightenment purposes. RJO (Rook Joint Ops) is a planned event that happens about every 3-4 weeks. It switches days as a squad volunteers to lead it and direct it and picks the day it is on.

The latest one was just this friday.

Sometimes it does fall on sundays sometimes it doesn't.

But most Rook squads have their normal squad night on sundays which is why you see the larger numbers (massive numbers that night).

Two are relatively unrelated .. although an RJO also on sunday tends to put out even more numbers.

I've already sent billing @ Hightech my notice.

I really don't care how many of whose country's players are in the arena at any given time.  I don't care who has the advantage.  I do care that I pay my money and cannot fly the planes they promised when they took my money.

Simple as that.

I dunno about being a target RedTop - I still remember that spit/yak fight we had months ago which seemed to last about an hour ;) Fights like that will always keep me coming back no matter what.

mate, have fun :)

Guess what Chortle

Neither the Spit nor the Yak were allowed to the Bishes this evening.  You won't ever have a fight like that again until this system is changed.

There will almost never be an equal number of players on all three teams at the same time.  The odds say that 2/3rds of the time you will be flying inferior planes unless, like today, your countrymen start logging off 30-40 at a time.

Enough people keep logging off enough times because they can have more fun somewhere else and more other gaming alternatives are going to get in the way of spending money here.

I will probably be spending my gaming time in Battlefield Vietnam because of this.

Ok...for the sake of BBS stuff....

Im not missing your point. I understand it perfectly. Your ticked..Came to BBS..Stated youll not pay for this anymore. Ok..Point made. I say again. Bye.

HT I feel fairly sure doesnt want to lose customers at all. I think HT wants to do all he can to increase his bottom line. ANY business would or does. This means that changes have to be made for the greater good at times. Is it going to be what everyone wants? No. Im a knight and despise the thought of my Spit V possibly being on the Disabled list. But ya know what? I can fly anything else available if thats the case. I may not enjoy it as much at that time but I know it will be abck soon. Who knows I may learn a thing or 2.

Coming here stomping your feet and generally acting like "If I cant have it my way I quit" seems a bit over the top. If thats the way ya feel then you would probably be better off playing something else. But before you leave...Think about this. As it has been stated before....

Some Games will make ya start at the bottom and work up. Here you get to start out with the best and sometimes have to change until it becomes available again. Now do you really want to start out and have to fly for an example a ...Spit I when the others your fighting are in the better rides cause they already have the super mega power up points they needed to fly it? You die repeatedly due to it and become frustrated and quit another game?

Why not just ride out the small thunderstorm and see what grows from the rain instead of Running to the basement and hiding because the Winds got up a lil bit. :)
