NDISLES. UTERUS and BALTIC maps will be the undoing of Aces High

[uptown]

Were the ones paying money to play the game. For AH, or anyone else, to have the expectation that the customers who are paying the money to play, should also make the content, is ridiculous. Sorry but I already have one full time job and a part time job. I dont have the time to make content for a game that Im paying to play. Even if I had the knowledge, which I dont.

Dont get me wrong. Its great they have this option available for the players that have the interest. But to have the expectation??? Whos paying who to play the game?

By the same token if someone feels there are things that need changing, or need adding, or need deleting, they have a right to say so in the forum without being pounced on by other $15 a month players, who have no official position in HiTech inc, yet for some reason choose to sound off like VPs of marketing. Unless your punching a time clock for Aces High you got no right to call "another customer" a "whiner" for wanting something new in the game. Like new maps.

I dont agree with neither the tone or the wording of the original post in this thread, or accusing anyone at HTC of anything negative. I have actually found them to be the complete opposite of that, and very helpful. But the guy has the right to ask for new maps.

   I concur

My .02 is worth less than 2 cents, but it's free.

While I have to agree that the maps can get a bit stale, the game play on each one is more to blame then the map itself.  If you don't like uterus, go find a live one and destroy it.  Don't like Isles, get in a boat and go fishing.  Don't like another map, make a new one.  If either side would start working together, the maps would be reset more often and we might get a chance to see the other available maps.  Squads and players switching sides to help those with the least players ruins chances of quick resets.  Lazy? I don't think so.  Drinking the Scotch ya'll sent to HTC, maybe. .  Maybe if you were to get together with your squad and help take some bases to reset the map instead of just vulching the same field for 4 weeks, we could get a reset.  Pay your 15 a month, fly or don't fly, make a map or not, but post something that could help instead of the ramblings of a idiot.


Buff it all you want, you can't polish a turd.

                        I read this three times ....and still. Can someone translate what this guy is saying? Dragon do tell me you were drunk when you posted this. Cause either you were to drunk when you wrote it , or I was to sober when I read it.

Maybe you should think about whether you have the time and see if you can create some maps yourself, you know, put into the game and community that you so willingly leech off of.

I know this was'nt directed at me but I just HAVE to ask how a player paying their $15/mo. like everyone else in exchange for a service is leeching off of the game and the community?

Personally I like all 3 maps - although we could do with them rotating more often.

With regards to the "expectation" that the customer base create the new maps - think its more likely that HTC knows people love this game, and want to contribute to it (hence the provision of the tools to do so). Some of the maps I've seen created (Croduh, Ranger etc) are astounding and I'd love to see them ingame. Ditto for the skins people create - again, dont think its expected, or required - but this game is soo addictive, people want to contribute.

I'd love to create a skin, or a map - but unfortunately lack the time (and probably the intelligence) to do justice to either of them

just my 0.0002p worth, ymmv,

I didnt even see this posted before, and apparently it was directed at me.

Ack Ack have you lost your bloody mind?

As much as I enjoy AHII, the last two weeks make me wonder:

1.What happened to 1 big and 1 small map?
2.Why are we playing on maps that are as stale as 5 year old bread?
3.Why was the map not changed for Titanic Tuesday? Monday's Orange Arena was Tuesday's Titanic Tuesday... again!
4.Is it true that the staff is so lazy that all they do is shut down the blue arena, rename the orange arena to Titanic Tuesday and go home,Then rename the Titanic Tuesday arena back to Orange on Wednesday?
5.There are so many maps available for the arenas, WHY are we subjected to the same old map rotation... time after time after time after time after time after time after time after time...

With two small maps that everybody has seen over and over, you get alot of 20 on 20 furballs and not much else. big hoard vs big hoard... (gee I wonder what's on TV... Or where is that DVD of 12 o'clock high... or I wonder what the other WW2 flight sims have to offer)

How old is Baltic?  (I REMEMBER IT FROM AH1!!) NDIsles? Uterus? OLD, OLD, OLD
As easy as it would be to add a little variety, it boggles the mind how a group of people can be either so clueless or lazy!
The result... a boreing experience and a reason to see what other options are out there.

As hard as it is to get paying customers, lazieness and complacency are the quickest and easiest ways to drive them away!

I love Aces High... but these old stale maps make the experience less than what I would expect from a company like HTC that has consistantly provided a high quality Combat Flight Sim that is more than a game...

I would recommend keeping these 3 maps out of the rotation for awhile and giving us a little variety!! PLEASE!

Is this the map for Tank Town 

I love that map dude. I just hate Ozkansas, and the original Titanic Tuesday Map.

BUT I wanna see Donut Map in AHII again!! 

[Zazen13]

Am I the only one who likes all 3 of those maps? 

I love 'em too. Don't have to play musical land grabbing hordes. Everyone has to fight on the small maps, if you want a field you have to earn earn thru right of battle...Which is really the whole point..When there's the huge maps with enough bases everyone can have their own, there is really no reason to fight. The hordes just play musical fields all avoiding each other in the rediculous attempt to take as many fields each per unit time as possible...<yawn>

Agreed...

I was frustrated when I started this thread and vented... I truely meant no disrespect toward HiTech or any HTC Staff members, dispite my rambling diatribe. Please accept my most sincere apology for my harsh words.

The question remains though... WHY are we subjected to those same three stale old maps time after time after time... Please HTC... enlighten us!

Since Baltic (with it's 1/8 scale distances) is still around after all these years, What ever happened to Mindinao?

Both, definitely both.

[badhorse]

Bumped because I agree.  Those three maps (uterus, baltic and the island map) should be retired. In fact, shreding the code would not be out of line.

Just bring in all the maps on rotaion and if there are issues let the masses deal with it. We can post problems on the forums ( nicely ) and you can work on them as you have time. Just give updates, so everyone knows they are being addressed. The maps truely are old and we all realize you are working on the new Combat tour arena but if possible please bring in the other maps.
