Bah, ADHD and lack of a sufficient supply of Alcohol limits how many "That's it I quit" threads I can handle. Please excuse my inability to put up with it.

Large maps spread fights out, way out.  Though some would enjoy the smaller engagments, intense fights seemed few and far between.....something it seems was a desired effect.

 If you can't fly your low eny plane, switch countries, switch arena, learn a new plane (there a plenty of good ones), or log off.  

There are options.  Though I guess I can see how it might not be ideal situation for GV's, It is Aces High afterall.....I always thought GV's were mostly there so we would have something to drop bombs on.

I guess the biggest thing, what is preventing you from having fun?


1) Harsh community - and this has changed how?

2) Intense isn't a problem, it's when everyone is compressed into small fronts, i.e. Uterus (the suckiest map of all, and not fun when it's up in BOTH LW arenas).

3) Switch arenas - Part of the problem as opposed to the answer.
a) People leave an arena where they are outnumbered, to an arena where they have numbers.
Not criticism, just plain fact, and foretold it would happen.
Result ENY goes haywire in two arenas.
Been on both ends of ENY, it's not fun either way.
b) Anyone who says its fun to fly say a 262 or Tempest (with virtual impunity) against the early stuff is deluded, all it does help is the score mongers.
c) Some who do stay in the arena will switch sides, not to even things, but  to get the cheap perkie stuff. (look at point (b).

4) Aces High or not, GVs are now a major part of the game, unless you think the nice pretty new hedgerows etc, were done for the benefit of aircraft.

5) time limit on country swaps - Was lowered to an hour, and now abused.


Problems, yup plenty.
Answers, I wish.

If I can only fly 1/2 the planes half the time HTC should only get half of my $15.:cool:

If enough of us "complain" about it, it just might go away, which would be a good thing in my opinion.

OK.....I'm gonna say it once and for all......If I get Kicked out of here so be it......

The arena split was iniciated because 4 cheap servers fit HT's wallet better than the huge server he had that could handle all of us......since then he has saved up enough money to boost the graphics in each arena.....he thinks this is what we want......lol....the larger maps cannot be supported with the higher graphics on these cheap servers so we have to endure this crappy map rotation until his wallet is fat enough to upgrade to what we want..........I hope......or mabye he will just keep Preying on the Noobs....taking there money since they Know no better.


I think that the arena split is fine....but the servers should be able to handle all players in one arena.....ENY is out of control late at night when the numbers are small, 25 20 10 players and high country has 20 ENY????????what is that........plus the maps are all played out.....If the server can't support a large map....get a better one. We all have to cut our graphics in here unless we are playin with a $10,000 alienware computer...use server strength to support more people and bigger maps.

just want to ad a footnote here.....ENY needs improvment...players stagnant in the tower for some time shouldn't matter.....tanks and planes should have seperate calculations too

Wait for the complains if people can fly with numbers AND LA7's, Spit 16 and C-hogs...

ENY is fine. It can not completely level the playing ground, but it prevents one side to have both superior numbers AND superior planes. Strike your enemies with massive numbers or superior planes - you can only have one.

And the "it's my 15$ so HTC shouldn't tell me what to fly" is not valid.
They always did - they tell you NOT to fly a B29, they tell you NOT to fly a P39, they even dare to tell you NOT to fly the 262 if you haven't got the perks. In fact you pay 15$ to gain access to a game playing by their rules. I never found any information on "HTC guarantees you to fly this and that under all circumstances".
Heck, I could even say: "I don't pay them to get shot down by by ack" or "I don't pay them for getting bombed in TT"....

Arena size coupled to graphics? WTF? My graphics card has to render the same number of polygons, be it on a small map or a large one, because I can only see a limited distance. What happens outside my circle of view is completely irrelevant to my graphics card...

lol, the whines alone are worth the implementation of the ENY limiter.
Thank you HTC! I'm entertained on your BBS as well as in the game :D
