I'm sorry to anyone who felt I was heavy handed in my wording... Its my character fault.  But it doesn't make my ideas irrelevant.

 

I didn'ts see any ideas in your post, there was some opinions and whines, but not really much idea at all.

you did manage to strike accord with all the other ENY  whiners though  - well done.


you did have some good advice though


"Whiners really need to get over it,,, Whiners are the minority."

[KurtVW]

Redd,
For the 3rd time, I'm not on the ENY boat at all.. I don't have a problem with the ENY logic.  Sometimes annoying.. Nothing more.  Sometimes I like the challenge..

So if after all this you think I am feeding the ENY debate... Well, you never read my first post.

If you continue to tinker to appease the minority you are going to destroy your game.  I am a programmer myself.  Not games I admit.  But one thing a programmer must learn is when to stop messing with the product.  Your's works fine.  You will never code it to the satisfaction of everyone and the minority will forever be the loudest voice.

If you must tinker, tinker game performance, not artificial whine reduction systems.  It turns out that some airplanes REALLY were better...  Some Pilots REALLY were better, and one side was always outnumbered.   That is the hard reality.  Whiners really need to get over it,,, Whiners are the minority.

I can read


If you aren't talking about the ENY mod  , what exactly are you talkin about ?

[KurtVW]

OK, since you are clearly too far down your own little crusade to take the time to read THE WHOLE POST... here is the part I am complaining about..

In the future, please read on your own and don't make me do the leg work... Especially if you want to call me wrong...

While what your asking for would be extreamly difficult to implement. One thing I had been thinking about over the week end is changing the hardness of all targets with the balance ratio.
And adjusting Ack lethality based on numbers.

HiTEch

Are you in favor of this change idea Redd??  I think its perposterous.

My last post on this


Read back though the thread - every post in support of your "ideas" mentioned the ENY system.  Where did they get that "idea" from - if not from your post.


To summarize your post without all the words




Hitech the ENY thing you did was crappy - don't do another crappy mod.

Stop messing about with your product

Just change the things that I want changing.

[KurtVW]

WHAT?  To summerize my post without the words?  Thats rich... "Kurt, instead of saying what you said, I'd rather make stuff up, its more flamey"

My post was about the Hardening of Buildings and changing of ack.. and any additional artificial balance.

Thats all.

Anything more that I might say in response to your last ill-founded verbal-vomit would be called flamebait and deleted... So I guess I'll just have to laugh at your remarks in the privacy of my own home.

Actually I don't even know why I'm arguing with you,  I don't really care either way about the side balancing thing in the slightest. I am just really sick of seeing people whining on the BBS about it, they are like a bunch of spoilt babies

I think it was just the tone of the original post that set me off . Anyway forget it     I accept that you didn't mean to come across the way you did , I think that's genuine.

Cup of joe ?

Lights a smoke, takes a sip of coffee............sigh....... ..

On the occasional few times I've found time to sortie lately, I was amused to realise there was even such as
device as the ENY limits...weird that I could choose another aircraft immediately. and yet was still able to enjoy the experience....

HT, damned if you do, damned if you don't eh?

Ahhhh change is such a scary thing it seems...

Instead of smacking HT around for a game that HE created and YOU pay to play, can we talk about something more important like letting me fly for free every once in a while?


Really guys, this is just a small aspect  in the scope of things. I have seen/heard most of you guys laugh and joke with each other for 3 yrs now. Now a lot, not all, of the same guys now are at each others throat over something that is not in anyone's control but HTC's. Many of you have very well thought out statements that swing me to each of your sides. Then HT chimes in strokes my fur and I'm all good again. You have to admit HT makes very valid points as do many of the statements in your posts do. However; this is a game. This is also HT's game and you choose to play or not to play. Shouldnt he have the same right to choose to "manage" his game as he see's fit? I do not necessarily agree with the changes but they are changes that I am still willing to pay my $15 to play as do you all.

What I do think is really cool is that HT allows a debate like this. What I dont like is all the flame-and-bait tactics that are still allowed to be seen. You can disagree with someone without all the crap that is on here now. Btw, this is posted after the edits by HT.

My point is, I guess, is agree to disagree without bashing the next guy. I do not want to go back and quote anyone as that would be the same flame-and-bait tactics as I have stated earlier.  It is more of an overall impression given by these posts. I have the utmost respect for all you guys in here and I know that you guys will correct what "I" think is wrong. I also, do not point a finger at anyone  person or group. I am only trying to point out what might be hurtful statements that really arent ment to be said.

My 2 cents

Good points about attrition and the value of success though.  I do think that this genre of game needs a refreshing of the gameplay.  I would suggest someting, but I have not been able to come up with a workable solution that I like.

There's a good discussion of this concept going on right now here:

Originaly, the masses were not a problem in aces high 1. The reason why they were not a problem is because we had an ability to remove strat or other important facilitys off the enemy. One being the best example of fuel. Now aces high 2 introduced a new method of fuel management, though this mainly removed the most effective way of controling the front lines of batttle. What the direct result of this was, that all countrys had planes avialable 24/7 at 75% fuel at min. The new fuel burn rate was suppost to fix this issue, but again players had unlimted supply of air craft and numbers can run over the map.

This would all be fine if you were not completely wrong.  The masses were a problem in AHI.  Fuel didn't stop the masses it stopped the fighting and defense against the masses.  Kill the fuel at on base and the horde just moves to another, no solution.  See all other threads on that topic.
