LOL. I'm like Fariz. I want actual missions with actual goals just as he describes. I did cancel my account, but I came back in November with a 2-week shades account. I think I played for about 1½ hours and realised it was the same old same old, and didn't play any more.

Lord help us, Beet is with us on this post

You think you have it bad? I have to swallow hard when I express my point of view on this, because I'm in complete agreement with MiniD!

by your defenition.... a riot would be called "organization"  as would a gang rape or lynch mob.

and beet...  the anti BK avatar suits you.   If anyone is the opposite of the BK's ...  well... shubie is but... you are in the top ten.

"AH2 is great fun still...."


 For *you* it sounds like it is.  So good for you.




"...just you have to look for your fun.. "


I certainly agree and I do but I find it elsewhere.

To be 100% clear I'm not paying 15/mo to play in a game where I have to go on a Holy Grail type of quest to scrounge for little bits of "fun."  Where I'm supposed to (impossibly) ignore the waves of suicide jabo morons, heavy bomber idiots doing the Stuka-thing and hordes of lemmings playing "war" aka landgrab for the reset? lol.
 And with the CT being a mini-MA, as well as a ghost town, and scenarios beinf weekend only things in all honesty all that AH has to offer is MA gameplay. And that to me is plain unappealing.  Heck, the MA and CT can't even be a place to "practice" for scenarios as I cannot join in on those due to thier scheduling.

 So here I am today only because TOD is under development (hopefully)  and it sounds just like what I've always wanted tp lay. But if HTC cancelled "TOD" I would not be here a minute longer.

You ego is still here, you just slightly older. "Before you wanted to be everything, now you think you can teach people what is everything".  =)

I remember that when I saw spit diving on formation of ju88s in "Perl Harbor" It was so much empathy that I almost burst into  tears. If MA giving you that level of immersion, palms sweeting, heart beating and hands shaking after the fight, then it is yours fun, and I am happy you found it. I know that I am having it now only in big scenarios, the feeling of being there and then. MA is good in its way, as good is DA sometimes. Just often when I fight 1 vs many I think about my tomorrow plans and what I need to buy for next week... I want AH to be for me again the ww2 flying sim of the highest quality. For this I need TOD, or something alike.

I think that MA shall be still here, and it always will be more popular than any scenario-structured environments. Falling bricks always easier to sell than the niche wargame. Very few people have fun flying an hour to have 3 minutes fight. Still, some people have more fun in it, that you will have going up in MA in some furball field and shotting down 20 planes in 5 min. Try to understand that we all are very different.

Maybe your looking for all the wrong things?

It's not an anti-BK avatar. It's just reversed. One interpretation could be that what I want out of a flight/war sim/game like AH is the antithesis of what you and the BK want. And that wouldn't be so far from the truth. Neither of us is wrong - just different. My views are very similar to those of Misfit, Fariz and Westy above. ^

Believe it or not I teach because I really just enjoy Teaching/Helping people.  If you feel the need to assign that to my old self proclaimed "AH Domination Ego" than so be it.  Its just not the case though.

The ever growing list of people in AH that I have helped would feel the same way I believe.

TOD is the type of a gameplay I am looking for since I played Aces over Pacific first time. Historic roleplay environment with human as opponents; structured environment, and goals to achive (ranks, kills records, mission objectives etc.). I am basicly in AH now, because I am waiting for TOD.

Here's hoping they have a broad selection of vulching missions for you to choose from

Almost, but not quite Lazs... the "organized" mob would run away from any person it ran into shrieking and yelping for help.

I'm just looking for a good fight, something that has become so rare as to be almost impossible to find in the MA.  

I spent this tour flying the Spit V, an airplane that is almost diametrically opposite what I normally fly.  I found that the game changes almost not at all.  The only real difference in flying any plane other than the La-7 and the Spit V is that instead of getting run down by an La-7 and then fighting the planes behind it you get into fights with the other planes then the La-7s (and Pee-Fifty Runs) come blowing through looking for cherrypicks.  You still fight 3-4 vs 1 on average.  

I'm just sick of the MA I guess, the timidity has gotten completely out of hand.  Your choices are fly an La-7 and cherrypick, fly something else and fight 3-4+ vs 1, or fly in your horde in whatever you want and get 2 or 3 kills a day.  None of the options are very attractive to me.

So I'm done for a while I think.  Joysticks unplugged and sitting in a corner.  I don't really see coming back for a while, unless there is a dramatic shift in the way the game is organized.

Thats an interesting point. I am not overly anxious for TOD to arrive. I fear that it may change the game into something that I dont want to play.

The Main Arena wont be transformed into the MA will it???

Fariz if you beleive that vile piss ladden remark your even dumber than I had though.

If more people exisisted in the game who were like Nomak them maybe things would be alot different.

Since the advent of AH2, squads who gave a watermelon about fighting and improving onces abilities have all but disapeared. I have no idea why but this is, indeed the case none the less.

Now, you have hordes of squads, recruiting any newbie they can get their hands on and teaching them how to be hordling lemmings. That is fine if that's what you want to be.

No one cares about standing out anymore. Back when i first started playing, you feared meeting certain people in a furball. You knew that if you had me them face to face you were almost certainly done for. No one cares anymore about standing out because of how well they can fly... They dont care because they think that bombing fighter hangers, hording one single con, vulching a field until they are dead to ack or people stop rollling, if the best way to play the game.

What Nomak is trying to do is show some new players the "other side" of the game. The one he showed me a long time ago. If there were more people like him doing the same thing they came would most certainly be much different, and at the same time, not much more different from how it was back in AH1.

Urchin, I've known you for a while now. I know that you've got alot of tallent, both from fighting with and against you. If you ask me I think you'd be very well suited to help some new players out. I'm only saying this because it looks like you want to change things, or help to try. It might give you that enjoyment from the game you're looking for.

Sorry for writing so much.
