HTC Going to E3?

[RTSigma]

I am just curious if any of you fine folks from HTC will be making the trip out to Los Angeles for the E3 convention. Why do I ask? I will be going for my second year in a row as media.


Want to shake the hand of the man who provides the addiction that makes my girlfriend go cross-eyed when she hears people "talking" on the computer.

i wanted to go this year, but i spent all the money i was saving on booz and women. i will be watching G4's coverage of it.

I wish.  It's way too expensive for space there for such a small company like us.  E3 is a great party though!  Only been once back in 1997 for a 'different' game.

as cold as it sounds, im glad HTC aint going to E3. if they did, it would cause lots of "undesirable" people to start playing more than they are now. we have enough dweebs as it is.

Undesirables aren't going to pay 15 bucks a month to play. Plus no matter what people are going to find AH2 some way, through searches, word of mouth, etc.

This is exactly the type of attitude that killed WB.  The community will be what the community allows itself to become.  When a new player does something inapropriate, you should give a moderatly polite reminder about ediquette.  Those who fly outside the community are doomed to get killed a whole lot more than those who fly within acceptable guidlines.  

Just ask yourself, your at 15k, and below you is a friendly with a bandit saddled up firmly on his six.....if its some jerk who has shot flaming wrecks as the fall wingless into the ground, tacked bandits on your six without ever giving you warning, and/or blabbered on and on either in text or vox proving their utter dweebery.....do you dive in an help???

There are hundreds of players I will put myself in harms way to assist, there are many more that I will, if its reasonbly safe, help our....and there are those who I will just wait to be killed before diving in on the bandit...after all, I wouldnt want to risk killshooting myself:D


New players are always welcome, we've got room in the friends pile as well as the bozo bin.

funny thing is they do. i was tired when i said that though. i think it's great to have more people coming in, and perhaps it's only because of my perspective, but the game has really transformed.

lol, im still tired, and really, have no idea what im talking about, but, i think, lots of kids do watch the military channel, i mean, it's always interesting, and all little boys learn to make a machine gun sound before they can talk:lol

and mostly, it's going to be the younger guys that will play these games, and go, cool, lets go download that when they see an ad. anyway, like i said, could be my changing perspective that's appeared to show such huge changes. lol, sorry ignore me, i think im going insane lol

g'night all

Ask yourself this.  Do you want AH to go away?  If not, then I suggest you treat anyone new to the game with more respect than they might be giving you.  In return, those newbies may actually become somewhat respectable.  A new player's frustration could easily become an attitude that you don't like, just as when anyone becomes frustrated.
I realize there are also those hopeless types who do try to cause trouble, but treat them as you wish to be treated.  Giving them the same bad attitude back does this community no good, and in fact only promotes that behavior.  Merely film, screenshot or report the behavior to HTC.  If you’re just going to stir the pot, then maybe you’d be better of being silent.
The snobbery that many here on the boards seem to possess is disconcerting.  We need new players to keep this game alive.  Having an attitude of, “This is my game.  Play it the way I want you to,” is contradictory to what the game is about and to all the choices of gameplay we offer to the player.  New players are not the downfall of the game.  It’s some of the veterans’ attitudes that will do that on it’s own.
