First off. Your a newbie. I know guys whome have been in flight sims for the past 10 years. And they are still upping thier game.
1 in particular is usually ranked in the top 2-3 as fighter. This is impressive to me only in his case because I know he doesnt try. He's just that much better.
There's many, MANY ways to "mix things up" in this game without playing like you, a chump.
2nd
Ya think???
It doesnt take someone such as me, with my vast knowledge and immense intelect to see that flying for 5-10-15 minutes to a fight only to bail is a waste of time. I'm very glad you've gotten to the point in your game that you can see that.
But if after three months, you've gained more out of this game and gotten farther than I've gotten out of the years I've been here... Good for you. I'm glad. And I'm hopful you will leave soon.
It scares me to think, that this is what flight sims have become, namely Aces High.
But I am glad that there are still those who see that crap like this will not be overlooked. With the exception of Ren. Who just refuses to see the obvious.
So the saying goes. You can lead a horse to water, but you cant make him drink. Ren...
Some new players are a real joy to work with.
Two stick out in my mind right now. Superdud, and Megadud. The venerable Aces High psychotic duo. I had more fun flying with these two and helping them than anyone I've ever given a bit of advice to. They enjoyed "the fight" and the thrills that come along with it. And were there to learn and greatful for someone to take the time to teach them. Every night almost you could find them in a fight somwhere. Giving it there absolute best.
x009028349Marine falls off and these two pick up.
You dont care about learning. If you did want to learn you wouldnt give up excellent learning oportunities by avoiding a death and being shot down, and avoiding mistakes by not having the oportunities to make them.
Foolish if you ask me. But then again. Your at the top of your game arent you.
Ren. STFU.
Do you even have a clue who or what you are deffending? I doubt it.
You cant even keep your tiny brain on track long enough to make a credible jab towards me. If your going to throw punches, start making them count. Or again, you can always just pack it.
You're a noob. So there.
'Learn" what?.. this particular game?.. plenty of time for that, not to mention "learning" is relative at best, if I'm learning to survive better.. yeaay for me and my $14.95. I've "learned" gamer dogfighting in other sims, I see no huge point in playing this game the same way.
I've practiced dogfighting in several other games, or "learned" make believe on-line dogfighting techniques, big deal, it just takes a bit of practice at this one... "learn" lol that's funny.
And someone hit the nail on the head, I do indeed have fun frustrating and chain yanking other gamers. I laugh when 5 dudes all chase me 1/2 sector away from my team mates only to watch as I bail succesfully. lol @ them. I can hear them yelling "coward" or opining I'm less of a man because I decided to F with them rather than try some disckweed "net man" stunt and sword fight my little imaginary plane to the death. I did that at first and it was fun for a while, but you could say I 'learned' that there are plenty of stupid anuses that will chase you all over the map... so concerned with getting a kill they'll leave thier team mates high & dry.
So yea, I get a kick out of depriving them of shooting my plane full of holes.. and I think that frustration has spilled over onto the BBS... maybe these guys think that by calling me names and challenging me to a skills competition I'll get upset and change... lol... nope. It's obvious how upsetting this is, and frankly I'm enjoying it.
This really is just a difference in philosophy, some of these guys with 50lbs of mouth who live with mommy can't comprehend that this game doesn't mean the same thing to everyone... and all the screaming you can muster won't force anyone to conform to your way of thinking. The world is bigger than your room lined with Eric Estrada posters little guy.
Last month I had fun dogfighting getting a feel for this game as opposed to others, this month it's a focus on surviving, frustration, and suckering.. and I am definately getting my $14.95 of enjoyment.. with zero concern to what anyone else thinks I should be doing.
You play this game your way, I'll do the same.. if we're each having fun, what's the difference?.. oh yea, I'm not playing your way, well damm.. your just gonna have to live with that. I realize you think because you have XX number of years invested in this game and have practiced much more you think your opinion carries extra weight, or that 'noobs' should listen to you.. lol, sorry, new to this game but not to gaming, or flight sims.. and frankly you havent written much of anything that reflects any extra insight... learn for my mistakes?, lol ooook, if I feel like it. I prefer to call them calulated risks.
If I really feel like it I can practice dogfighting all the time, but I don't find that as fun.
I really hate to tell you this but there's nothing important going on here, gaming is all about calculated risks.. and having some fun making them... win some, lose some.
Nobody, not even you oh great all knowing AH greaybeard, will ever be perfect... so you go ahead and learn from your mistakes, and I'll laugh beer out my nose watching 5 dudes chase me all over the map.
And really, it's not that hard for me to rack up more kills than deaths.. even being a 'noob', a sim is a sim is a sim.. if I cared all that much I'd concentrate on being one of the best fighter gamers in AH, "learning" blah blah, but I'm in it for my personal enjoyment.. and I enjoy what I'm doing these days.
Oh and by the way; lol
