ROFL! What a flamefest to wake up to!
I've made the points I wanted to make. The main one was that when *I* expressed discontent/confusion over the way some folks played this game 2-3 years ago, I was chided by the furballers along the lines of "they just won't play *your* way, will they, Generalissimo?", followed by the lecture about "more choices", and "more freedoms", various tards chipping in with quips like "I fly for me not for you", and "Give me your CC# and I'll fly however you want".
OK, fair enough - I just had to accept what I found in the arena, and stopped trying to suggest changes. I didn't like the suicide crap, I didn't like the way so many insisted on flying late war uberplanes the whole time, and I didn't like having to fly on maps where the fields were so close together that the warning siren on one field could be heard at the next. LOL-H!
But sadly, the gameplay that I was forced to accept could not hold my interest. That's why I'm on the sidelines waiting for TOD. And I am far from alone. There's a whole air force of us out here.
Don't get me wrong - what REALLY cracks me up is not that xmarine or anyone else is trashing hangars/whatever, but that the boot is now on the other foot! The furballers, who revelled in their condemnation and belittlement of anyone who wanted to participate in base captures, are now finding that THEIR game is being ruined, that THEIR skills aren't enough to repulse the tards, and that 90% of the AH populace refuses to fly the way THEY want them to fly.
Poetic justice in its finest form - I couldn't have
dreamed of a more fitting outcome!
:rofl <-one was not enough
When I'm done laughing, I could be interested in joining a reasoned debate about what changes (short of TOD) could be applied to improve gameplay. We've had the furballer instigated grand experiment, whereby the "war" has been relegated to an insignificant sideshow. We've gone through the fly what you like/more choices/more freedoms/chiding the generalissimi...
... and look how it's ended up - ROFL
Didn't anyone explain to you leet furballers that bombs are
designed to be dropped on buildings, and are
designed to cause destruction? That is what's
supposed to happen. But no, we can't have that, so perk bombs! If you're soooooo skilled, you could always do what I used to do, which was to fight off threats to destroy hangars/CV etc. But no. You don't want to do that because it's "not fun". And why bother - when you can come here and whine instead. You refuse to accept the war concept, in which guys were told what they had to fly, and who they had to fight.
One day (but it might not be today) some of you guys might have to accept that the gameplay will always be crap, if the only driving force is "fly what you like/more choices/freedoms". Because what you've overlooked is that the TARDZ
also pay $14.95/mo, and they
also are entitled to play this game, the way THEY want. They don't have to furball just because that's what YOU want. They don't have to turn with you guys, no matter how much you rant. They don't have to fly a SpitV or FM2 just because Morpheus tells them to.
IMO - the game needs to be driven by an objective. Turnfiting/ACM/flying a SpitV may well be a significant part of an improved game, but won't and should not be the game itself. The lack of any such objective which would foster a team spirit is why the gameplay has degenerated to the status quo you guys are whining about today. But as far as I'm concerned, you got what you deserved.
