1) No fear of virtual death
(2) Horde warrior mentality
Both issues have always (apart from beta time) been part of AH. Remember the Lemmings era? And no fear of virtual death is integral part of online game play. If you fiddle around on that concept you scare away customers.
The real problem is making it back after 18 months absent. I've been away for 6 months and finding it hard to get back the rhythm. (especially on the SA part). Also seeing more new faces then old friends. But nevertheless I'm surprised on how many old vets still hanging around.
The only two things I see “wrong” at this moment is:
- The large fields designed for 400+ players where we have an average of maybe 200 players. (yeah I play on Euro time) and there are simply to many fields to defend with 200 or less players. I find it silly to see country players attack 1 undefended field and 2 sectors away the enemy attacking 1 of our undefended fields. It’s senseless. It's beyond gamey.
For me the whole strat is not important anymore. I concentrate on getting fighter kills now. I don't fly bombers, I don't drive GV's.
- The ridicules accuracy of the CV’s 5” AI. I stay away from CV's as much as possible as a result of it. Maybe that is the intention of HTC, I don't know. I got film where I'm flying 300 mph+ maneuvering both in altitude and direction and the fediddleing thing still hits me (almost everytime I get near a CV).
The rest is still the same to me
Good luck adapting Blue!!
