That's is where a death limiter would put a stop on these guy's that love to pork & augre a base or CV. I think that most of the ones doing it are probably kids, who's whole use of unlimited life's in a game is to repeatedly bombard a base untill it is of no use or is taken, by rapidly re-upping and hit them again. I realize, that it is part of the game structure to capture a base by any means necessary, but these pork & augre guy's a degrading the game. It's getting to where some of the veteran's of the game are begining to use the no skill technique more often than not.
I don't remember who's idea it was (maybe Waffle,Kweasa, one of the Senior Members) had mentioned a 30 min death limiter at each base or CV, meaning that if you up from a base and die (for whatever reason, pork & augre, shot down, etc.etc.) you can't re-up from that base for 30 min. It would force you to go to another base and re-up, but if you die there, the same effect and so on. Enough of this would force a player to gain the necessary skill to STAY ALIVE, or be forced to go to another area for atleast 30 min, but would have the same consequences there also.
I understand that this would hurt the new players the most and would defeat the purpose of the 2 week free trial, if all a newbie does is up & die repeatedly during the first 2 weeks. They won't want to subscribe & stay in the game. That is where a training limiter would come in to play. Hitech should allow free unlimited use of the Training Area ONLY, to allow players to gain the necessary skills to survive in the other area's, but once you enter the Main Area ( or any area other than the T A ) your 2 week trial begins. I realize that this game has a very steep learning curve, and it might seem to take forever to gain the necessary skills to survive in the M A, that's when some sort of training profficiency test would help. I've heard it time and time again in the M A, some newbie asking " How do you land an airplane, or what button does what " and thought to myself "OH MY GOD, what is this guy doing in here, he should be in the T A learning this stuff" I know the trainers are already overwhelmed by some of the repetitive questions over and over again, and this would probably add more work for them, but that's what they're there for, and Hitech should recruit more trainers. I am more than willing to help a newbie learn to fly (I've already done that in the T A) when I see the trainers being overwhelmed or a newbie struggling to get off the ground. Although I am a relatively newbie myself and have a lot to learn about ACM, I do have some skills (like flying in both simulators and in real life, been doing it for 20 years and loving every minute that I fly, I've always aspired to own a mustang someday and will).
Anyhoo, there's a couple more pennies for ya, Hitech (are ya getting them?) LOL!:cool:
