The game itself, the flight dynamics, and aircraft, and so forth are very good. As a student pilot, I find flying in this simulation feels a lot more accurate than Microsoft's Flight Sim. In this respect I hold the game developers in high regards. As a flight simulation and combat simulation, I think the game is absolutely top notch. As for this public forum, my opinion has recently changed.
Where I find fault with what you are saying, Major Biggles, is how you suggest this game is governed by a totalitarian regime. I do not believe this is the case. I am optimistic and I believe that the developers do make modifications based on customer suggestions. The more voices, the more likely the change. Furthermore, they are in the business of generating revenue. This is something I understand as a business owner myself. I listen to my customers and I am very respectful when communicating with them. Satisfied customers are paying customers. Finally, I have been advised by many veteran players that the developers are open minded and do consider suggestions. I also find fault with your rudeness. You could state your opinion with some degree of courtesy, taking into account that your second post was an improvement.
Captain Virgil Hilts, I am a devoted Steve McQueen fan and would hate to be insulted by someone bearing an avatar of his likeness, or that from one of my favorite all time movies, The Great Escape.
Moneyguy, where I attended school, although it has been many years ago, we learned the difference between a simile and metaphor. My accusation to those of guilt is that they are very rude. Perhaps you could use an English refresher course. Being "like" a child is not "being" a child, and many of the responses to my post are indeed very childish, or as though posted by someone immature and of youth.
roach, HTC make LOADS of changes to the game purely on user input. they've been spending weeks putting in things to help people find their squad and to be able to message them across the arenas.
do you really think they would spend that much time, instead of just switching it back, if they weren't serius about the arena change. they want it like it is now, it isn't going to change...
lots of guys have complained, just like you did, but it doesn't change a thing, the arena changes are necessary for the game in the long run, and they might as well change it now when they piss 1000 people off, than do it later and piss 10000 people off.
HTC is the most incredible company, they're entirely dedicated to the game, and their customer service is just incomparable (you call their office they'll drop everything that they're doing to help you).
you need to trust them
it's easy enough to find your squad dude, i can explain it to you if you don't know how. once you know where they are you can go to the arena with the lower cap, do something short like base defence or GV'ing, then log out after 5 minsutes and try and get into the other arena again (you can usually get a space, lots of people log out)
the change has been a great change for me, i love the fights and pilots that i'm coming across now. if the only thing you don't like is not being with your squad, just try a little harder to get in with them, or get some of them to come to you, and you'll have a blast (try the midwar together, still plenty of planes but not as many people, you can have some great fun in there
