For gods sake, go to the TA and get some skill, learn to check your E6B, and if all else fails, go to offline and screw with settings.

The more you flesh out this idea, the worse it sounds.

I do think, within it's own dedicated forum.....it would attract new customers.....LOTS of new customers.

here's why.....

I'd bet 2/3rds of the newbies that sign up for the free two week test run never re-up and sign up as customers........why is that Zeta?  well kids....it's because by the time they acutally figure out how to get airborne....they go up against alot of the aces and long time vets....and many of them leave for good.

give them an opportunity to have a little more fun within that two week free look...and at least offer another areana with unlimited fuel and ammo one night a week...and I bet business doubles for AH.


Zetanine, if this was the hit TV reality show 'American Idol', and if this post was compared to an audition, and we had the same judges' reading your idea, you would have been stopped in mid-sentence, Simon would have said something to the effect that what you wrote has absolutely no business on the forum, and told you no.

Oh sure, Randy and Paula Abdul would have tried to have been nicer about it.

But they still would say no.:lol

Hmmm..lower the shallow end of the pool for the noobs.  Except just
how do you think they are going to react when they start swimming with
the sharks in the MA without the crutches?  How long do you think they'd
stick with it?

Heck HTC already made killing the fuel at bases and the factory mean nothing what more do you want...  You can always up with a full tank now and I have to ask if they have unlimited fule and ammo does this mean they also are affected by the weight of said fuel and ammo also...  If they are then they would be ad a big disadvantage VS we that have been around long enough to know that weight sucks in a fight....

  But by all means make this change then all the trial players can die that much faster.. :t

Its kind of like T-Ball leagues that don't keep score, the availability of adjustable height basketball goals, and cheat codes for X-Box games.  Nothing like reinforcing the pandering, spoiled, "gimme, gimme" behavior that is so pervasive in American society today.  Leave AH2 as the last bastion of on-line meritocracy.  The ones that exercise the patience and discipline required to succeed in this game are the only ones the community really wants.    

Positive reinforcement is so totally overrated.

I'm all for it, better yet, make it so that the side with more numbers gets hurt more by porking.  :p All fuel bunkers down, the side with lesser numbers gets 50% gas, while the side with more numbers is down to 25%.

I think putting the porkable fuel back in would be great ! Make each fuel take a 500 LBer to kill that way a single guy couldn't come in and pork a base. Set it to go all the way down to 25%.
