What's with the vox insults?

[68ROX]

Easy....film the tirade....send to HTC.

This game is no different from the real world...

There are nice folks and there are bad folks.

The only difference in this game is that there is a "police" force that does weed out the bad....eventually.

68ROX, you miss the whole point which is ...

The newer pilots - who may be just getting started at online combat sims - shouldn't have to "police" the community in the first place! (And neither should the rest of us, really.)

Maybe HTC needs to add a disclaimer to the terms and conditions similar to the following:

Air to air combat sims are a highly egotistical endeavor for many players, and by engaging in this activity you accept that you may be verbally abused and harassed by other players. If you don't feel that such abuse and harassment by other players is acceptable, then you should not play Aces High.

I'm just saying that it would be much better if there was a toggle disabling cross-country comms which is on by default, which would render the entire issue moot to begin with.  It's just dumb, because forcing cross country comms on everyone adds nothing to the game and potentially costs the game players.

BRILLIANT!!!
I agree..  It's bad enough to have one of your own team mates (chess peices) rant at you on personal VOX because you questioned his CV management.  It happened once, and with my higher rank when I challenged his decision he got personal.  Calls me a newb etc...  

Lets campaign to have cross country vox eliminated...

I can honestly say I have never had a person tune to my vox after a kill and complain to me, not that it doen't happen I just have not had it happen to me.  Usually it is an exchange of or "good fight" or some form of casual to semi sarchastic banter. I find it best not to fly mad, so if someone does get my dander up I usually switch arenas or go afk till I can relax.  But hey that is just me.

I had a guy PM Vox me swearing up a storm one night so I squelched him and vox .reported him.  Then he PM'd me on text swearing up a storm so I text .reported him.  Then he continued his tirade on 200.

We had met with ~1500 feet of vertical seperation, 190 vs 190 and as he passed under me I dove for the deflection shot which he claimed was a HO even though I could see the full top profile of his plane.

We've met a few times since with no incident.

That's the only time anyone's ever PM'd me, text or vox other than in a friendly way.

Sad but true, left after a month, couldnt stand his brother, who was more an stunninghunk then anyone else I ever met. Did learn a little about bombing though. Cant remember the fellows name, but we used to go up in Lancs for hours. Oh well, Dallas is a moma;s boy. I think they were spoiled or something. I used to bomb with oYANKEEo too, hes a kewl dood. Havent seen him on much lately though.

Have you guys met Pipper? (I think thats his name)

[B3YT]

if i ever send a PM after dieing it's all in good humour ask Agent bout B3YK as i am now. or i use it to send a warning bout very bad warping wich i video .

a bit of cross country banter is always fun. plus i can keep up with  "serenity , raynolds " an verious others i used to fly with .

[Ghastly]

And for those that want cross county banter, there's 200.  And if it were coded as requested, you could enable PM's if you wanted.

Shot his arse down last night when he and 4 of his oISUCKo squad mates bounced me on the deck.  All these guys did was dive from about 15k and make repeated BnZ passes which I was easily able to avoid.  Then oDALLASo got a little too cocky for her own good and tried to turn with me, which resulted in her plane getting a solid burst of 20mm to the cockpit area.  Sadly, no rants from oDALLASo afterwards.  But I did notice that the oISUCKo squadron packed up bags and moved to the other side of the map and fought the Rookies for the rest of the night.

Actually...I DO get it....

I've followed this philosophy for 30 years...works GREAT!!


"Never wrestle with a pig.  You both get dirty, and besides...the pig LIKES it."

Ignore all PIGS.

i got an oDallaso berating last week.

upped an iL2 from a field with dead fh's, see a 190 diving towards me, blasted it in the face.

2 seconds later i hear in my headphones.. " way to go newb, soon you'll get some skills and won't have to HO"

Funny stuff.. really, i was laughing for about 5 minutes afterwords.

[B3YT]

but i hate 200 cos it's mostly " ooo oo you HOing ho. ho . ho ho . ho Blah Blah Blah....Ect." not realy banter more like ranter.
