This arena/map set-up is BS

I will admit that for the first time in months, I was bored with it last night. It seemed that every arena I went to was either capture monkey playland or ignore the horde and pound the low number playland. Oh well...there is always tonite. :)

In all honesty, What it really seems is that...The game could be so much more than what it is now.

The planeset/GV set could be expanded to include alot more. That takes time to model, skin, etc., but it's what it really needs.

It has had more maps in it than it has now. What we currently have, seems to be a regression to most people.

Yeah, some more ships in the task forces.(BB's, Tank landing ships/LCT's that are required for the Group to land LVT's, troops, etc.)

A change in the strat model...

The list goes on.

Slap - yup Uterus has to be by far and away the WORST of the limited map set now.


the map is only poo because country 1 and 3 get stuck at A1/A19 while country 2 is free to milkrun everything.

other than that its a good map...


... sure its rubbish compared to big maps, but with all the small maps its up against now, its fine, because all the small maps are POO.

everyone should conspire to fill up those arenas like SE or AVA one night just so we can experience a large arena again.  I do agree AVA is dull typically, but i am saying we should all go crash the party one night.  would be nice to see what sort of missions are run with big numbers again

HTC knows and accepts this.

There are posts on the lifecycles of an Aces High player :)

Character of the game's changed somewhat though no?

I log on, as I have for some 8 years now, (JEEZ has it been that long?) to kill people and break things. I rarely fail to find an opportunity ;)

I agree wholeheeartedly.

You like to fly with your squad.  The expectation to drag everyone to another arena for your sake...well...its just plain rude.  Switching sides isnt an option, I just want to fly with the squad...much like others do.

this is not directed at anyone but to the AH community in general......


you always read or see where people type and all they are typing about is complaints, or they are complaining about not having fun......well think of it like this....what you need is good moral.......

if you type a bad post knocking this and knocking that, and telling everyone why "YOU" are upset....then you are making things worse......suddenly others do the monkey see/monkey do and  people follow suit........

til it festers, and festers, and grows larger .......until every other post you read is about some complaint someone has.......

Aces High offers a multitude of different activities and events........if people would look at the calendar you would see snapshots, FSO's, KOTHs, Extreme Racing League,  Close Escort and Highly Publisized Historic Scenarios..... then you have different forums that offer all types of stuff, film/movies/screenshots    plane skins.......tech and software/hardware   where your fellow AH community member might have a problem and you might have the answer to it.......

or heck go into the H2H arenas and offer up a lesson to some new kid who has not been able to get their parents to get them an online account because they can't fly without augering..

or go to the DA.......or go to the TA........make a movie from your films....make a comicstrip  of all the online characters you know that hover around this place.......

until people stop thinking "mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, and me, me, me ,me, me, me ,me, and my, my, my, my , my

the we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we ( meaning Aces High Community as a whole) will just keep on creating angst and frustration by multiplying the bad vibes in the bad posts....


does any of what I just typed make sense?

stop thinking about just yourself and think about everyone else around you for a change.......we all can make it a better place

BaldEagl does bring up a valid and often repeated complaint: not being able to log into the arena your squadies are on and fly with them.


No, he didn't.  He complained that there was no where to find what he defines as a good fight unless he was willing to change countries, which he isn't willing to do.  

(Not saying that the squad issue isn't a problem, and not knocking him for wanting to be loyal to his "country", just pointing out what the complaint was.)
_____________________________ _____________________

Maybe what HTC should do is rotate countries, as well as maps.  Every couple of hours, everyone who is a Rook becomes a Bishop, and every Bishop becomes a Knight, and every Knight becomes a Rook.  They keep the same fields they had, just that all the cute widdle symbols next to the fields and on the roster all switch.  

That way, when he checked back later he could have been a Bishop and still have had a grand fight like those of us flying Rook tonight (even though we were outnumbered according to dar bar on every gosh darn square for almost the entire night) - like the fight between A11 and 15.

Quoted for truth. However, I would like to point out, in this case the wheel has damn near seized up from lack of oil.
