2.5 Years of AH. Time to hang it up...

[Morpheus]

Im hardly offended. Not in the least bit actually. I am simply stating the obvious.

Sometimes the "obvious" is harder to see for some than others.

Truly it is. Wear your obvious goggles and re-read my posts then.

No ... wait ... I'll simplify it even more.

1: It's ok to leave.

2: It's ok to post why.

3: Just about anything is ok.

4: I just find it ironic when someone leaves complaining about something in the game but adds that they also think people complaining about something in the game is ruining the game.

Don't get simpler than that so don't ask.

If I was playing a game of baseball, say for the Mariners.

Perhaps not, but, what if the Angels tried to put 18 players on the field?

When its time to go its just time.  You know it when it comes.  The reasons really dont matter.

I tried to quit AH 40 or 50 times.  Always came back, it wasnt time.  Once it really arrives though there is no going back.  For me anyway (Shrug)

Good luck Sir.

Deal with it, and still cap your sorry butts.

Thats what Makes it fun. The challenge. Having a fight anywhere you go and be able to RTB if your good against eveyone else flying the same plane as you.

See, before ENY mattered in the availability of planes, we all flew the same bird. Nobody forced the underdogs to fly older or slower planes.

See it's the people who are truly good that are being penalized. It's harder to do true ACM in a faster more modern fighter, than it is in the older planes. IMHO. Thats why I chose to fly "Real Mens Planes".  It's a greater challenge. If your in a fuball with a high ENY plane in the midst of LA7's and Ponies and the like, it's just a matter of time. History itself has proven this.

You can only out turn so many Bore and Zoomers for so long. Eventually, even the deck claims you.

Combine this with the other bugs, and the greater experience other games are offering for less $$ and you can see why I am taking off. It's only a matter of time I think, until the rest of you follow suit.

See you all in some other skies.

Dan.

Sorry, Dan. Can't see it at all ... other than general burn-out. Flying ponies and Lalas in the horde certainly isn't upholding that philosophy. And if you're in the horde, bet you're not gettin' swarmed with Lalas and Ponies, either.

All it did was give the players the option of staying on the side with overwhelming odds at the cost of THEIR bore-n-zoom chariots or switching to the side getting swarmed and getting the privilege of being swarmed in any ride you want to fly.

You do what ya gotta do. Don't expect to make a valid political statement doing it. That comes off martyrish. And I don't think you really planned on doing that.

God speed, man.

2Hawks,

1st...Sad to see you go bro!  I think you're Right On!  The posters here are the small minority.  I think a good portion of the community at large is in a "Wait And See" mode.  Others are trickling out.  We see the few that announce their exit here.  The next horde may very well be defined as: "The Ones That Left".

Example: tonight at Prime Time, 9 EDT, 314 players.  Hmmm...Are the Olympics still on TV??  I don't think so Tim!

I'll leave it there.  I would hate to seem to be arlo's Chicken Little.

[B17Skull12]

Dracon wrong.  at 9 pm edt there is always around 300-320 people online ever since the move to AH2.

[Arlo]

That's the longest olympics we've had to date. Right?

[onions4u]

2Hawks/Hylandr real sorry to see you leave the squad and the game we all will miss you. I understand why u don't play much anymore and have been thinking that it's not a great deal for the money anymore. I use to play all the time especially when I became disabled. But latey it's not as much fun as it used to be.
I read a post a few days ago when someone said why don't they do away with base takes all together. See people complaining about the bombers bombing to low, making the fighters hangers harder to kill etc.,etc.. Even Twitchy's looking at other games to play and does not play as much anymore.  Anyway keep in touch give us a yell or the squad site sometimes.

[dracon]

B17Skull12???

Yer jokin' right?  I USED to play every night I'm home and Saturday was a biggie!

Let's see some stats?  Where would you get 'em?

[Mugzeee]

sorry to see you go 2Hawks
But i too have spent WAY less time in AH2. Felling kinda not interested anymore. The ENY limiter thing was an idea worth trying. But i too disagree with it. There are just too many other ways to handle balance the would leave us felling less infringed upon.
I salute you and hope to see you in the virtual skies somewhere again. I have started playing other sims along with AH2 and maybe we will meet again.

1. I am not burnt out as I am still looking for something to play that allows me to kill.

2. As far as ponies and LA7s, I fly them too. I like to use the right tool for the job. I just dno't like being forced to use inadequate tools for no preventable military action . Other than that it boils down to strategy. Or being unable to strategize no matter how high you start dropping down on your enemy.

Arlo, I can see that your very good at debating, and would prefer you not put words into my mouth. I am not here to debate why I left. I have already stated why. Apparently, others feel the same way.  No amount of master-debating will change that.

You don't need to feel like you lost though, there was never any contest here to win.

HOWEVER to throw food to the monkies, I will indulge in a whine if it makes anyone feel any better.

Here we have frequent recurring bugs, and rather than address these issues first he's diddling with ENY and pissing players off.

Focus Pinky... Focus....







Mind You,  I had a pilot wound, and I knew I would be dead soon, but this is the kind of thing that annoys me in the middle of furballs. Don't tell me it's my system. I have bean in IT longer than most players in AH have been wanking it.

Oh yea, and you can still see the tracks of GV's through hills.

Gents. It HAS been fun.

Dan.

[Arlo]

What are your settings? Are you pre-loading your art? What card is that?

I'm guessing your art was reloading after blackouts .... but you didn't say.

See? No slams. Just curiousity.
