I pay good money to play this game and to fly these planes. I just watched 32 Bishops log off in the last 30 minutes (I made 33) in frustration. I refuse to pay you ANY MORE money if I cannot fly the planes.

LET ME MAKE IT ABSOLUTELY PERFECTLY CRYSTAL CLEAR.

I REFUSE TO PAY YOU ANY MORE MONEY UNTIL I CAN FLY THE PLANES AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice Knowin Ya ..... Bye

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.

Just to let you know - you are not alone.

It's about as logical as people on the BBS encouraging them to quit.

Ahh I see we have a HST fan in our midst.

What they are being encouraged to do is to quit acting like cry babies over a video game.

Hey Furious - still remember that little scrap we had against 2 spits that both finally fell out of the sky probably because they were loaded down with so much lead from our guns?   Great fun!

Back to the thread at hand - seriously though folks should learn to separate the noise from the signal.  Yeah it's a video game and Bammer is transmitting a lot of noise that's drowning out his signal, but I venture to guess there's some signal to his message that's worth understanding.

Consider the following statistics:

According to the Research Institute of America for the White House Office of Consumer Affairs:

• The average business will hear nothing from 96 percent of unhappy clients. In other words, only 4 percent will bother to complain. So, for every complaint you hear, twenty-four others go unreported.
• 90 percent of dissatisfied clients will not come back or buy again.
• Every dissatisfied client will tell at least nine other people.
• 68 percent of clients who stop doing business with you do so because of company indifference.
• Of the customers who register a complaint, up to 70 percent will do business with the organization again if their complaint is resolved. Up to 95 percent will do business if the problem is resolved quickly.

Folks like Bammer are just the tip of the iceberg.

I would rather look at it this way.  Some people will refuse to accept a product that doesn't meet their needs.  Personally I don't care one bit for the fix.  The game play model for how many years has been country unity, cooperative missions (thus the mission generator), land grab oriented and reset focused.  

Suddenly numbers is an issue for some.... and we make changes to the arena that are counter to the game play model that AH is designed upon.  

There is a solution out there... there always is... to improve the game play... but the one we are trying now certainly isn't it.

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.  BT

and this is coming from a knight. i used to be a knight and loved the high perk bonus and cheap jets. the rook horde wasnt really a problem. it was the bish and rooks not fighting each other and only fighting the knights. wasnt like that every night though.  so im having a hard time understanding this. the la7 was the plane i was taught to fly as a newb. to me flying it is alot more fun than any other plane not perked. already 5 or 6 times i have had to go without. i do fly other planes that i like. i do ok in a dora or mossie or spit tiffy. its just upsetting when ya cant fly your ride that you have been flying for years on demand. i would like to the see this removed in next patch or whatever as would many others. EVERYONE has a favorite ride. just so happens the rides we like are disabled when we really want to fly them. i dont think i jumped the gun other night. cause im already having to do without alot. wouldnt be so bad if it was a once in a while thing.
from what i have read so far in game its prolly gonna iron out before to long in terms of being disabled. its no secret alot of people are upset about it. cantrary to popular belief....im not gonna quit although it does make one mad enough. almost half of my squads reaction was to quit but we all talked it out. i agree fully with ya just dont quit the game....im sure it will go away.

From your earlier post in response to MOIL:

How come you don't go away? You said you would.

Please try to be more consistent in the future.


The response I expected to see to a lot of the "whines" was something more along the lines of: "Just give HT a week or so to tweak and tune the system." Instead it's "don't let the door hit you on the way out" and "fly another plane, princess."

possible solutions?????

add another country
take away the rook country
ask squads to move to different country. (at this point my squad is prepared to move if changed. 30 strong and starting a second squad.)
designate some squads that are always on and number stong to become a floater squad. give them all 20 perks for their floating troubles when numbers are uneven.

the current fix may be working but its not the solution at all. i would like to see HT find another. theres really no point in having the planes in the planeset if you cant fly them when you want. its kinda like playing your favorite RPG game and only being able to play your favorite magic user class at random times of the day. So you pick thief class and get slaughtered.


ok tooo much crown green going to bed.
