agreed, the DA as it is now is stupid. as it is now with KS on, noone is going in there anymore. this 'fix' has left us with an arena far worse than the one we had before...

DA mods are the only solution

It's fine the way it is. I was in there the other night with YUCCA... first to lose (KS themself) wins. Or, you can just duel the way it was done years ago... fly from 2 dif bases and fight in the middle.

NO !!!  it is not fine .... and this is not back then....   please restore the DA to the state that we have all come to love...   or sell those who want to fly the right to host our own server...  that means giving us the ability to host more than just eight people in H2H.   TAKE A VOTE FROM YOUR CUSTOMERS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I pay my 14.95 a month for the DA and right now i am getting in the rear... ouch:O :furious

If asking nice doesn't work then maybe try clicking the link in hitech's sig.

I signed up at aces high in part because I was board with other games & one of the biggest draws for me was the dualing arena because you could go to an area where you could dual 1 on 1 to become better at dog fighting. Sure, there was the training area but who could really learn to fight in there? I met quite a few guys who not only shot me down but showed me how they did it and how I could defend myself.

I have joined a squad called THE BAD COMPANY CLAN who uses the DA as our base and we hold spacific types of training there which allows us to learn certain tactical moves. Our squad is BASED in the DA! The squad functions can not be held any other place and because of a few "two weekers" & people with bad social skills, we all suffer! Our squad has already tried using the H2H area and other areas in the game but because of our size or types of practice we can no longer hold our training sessions in the mannor in which our squad was based.

We have suggested ways to solve the issues in the DA like posting a "MOTD" stating rules and even donating our time to act as trainers to help the DA's problems but nothing has been looked at. Destroying the DA is not the solution, it affects too many people and the way the game is played, it is stopping the advancement of pilots who have little or no transition from the TA to the MA, in effect will stop people from becoming members. Now it has become just a little MA where people do nothing but change countries and then go to another base to shoot people down without notice, vulch and bomb the runways and gang up on newbies.

How does this solve anything?  People do pay to be here and the way that people become active members and good players is now in jepardy. I myself have started a squad website, invested the money in the domain, included Aces High as a major link, told all my friends about how great the fun has been and now feel like the game is now not as fun and beginning to spend less time here. I know I am not the only one who feels this way so I ask again...     How does this solve anything?

TedStryker/AutoPilot, you know for someone who wanted so much to do something for the community, you keep burrying your self deeper each time you throw this lil imperical data of yours out for all to see.....


maybe all the DA flyers can email hitechcreations via their support email?

ask for support that way, get enough emails maybe they have a change of heart :D

some of the Trainers, ( hope I am not getting this wrong ), have no problem that I know of overseeing the DA from time to time......it just will take away from the already limited time we have in the TA  now....... seriously though, I would rather not babysit the DA, it is not a place to TRAIN. maybe get some tips from "others" that need the gratification of the KILL! but not a place to seriously train......egomania haven mainly.......(<--- not directed at the people who are TRUE DUELLERS and LOVE 1 vs 1 co-E fights )

but hey, according to TedStryker/AutoPilot, he done figured it all out..........with his imperical data of the sitiation;)

it is a good place to train....  no fear like the fear of the TOWER.  It's real, the training arena is not.  I know I don't try as hard in the TA as I do trying to keep myself out of the Tower.
