One of my few wishes
« on: June 23, 2008, 12:30:35 PM »
I really don't wish for alot from AHII, it's just a great game. However, I have finally come to see what I would really like to see changed in the game (not added!  :O ). I had left the MA for a bit to fly in the DA Furball area to see how it was. After 2 days there I never wanted to leave because it was SO FUN! Always great fights, no one ran from the fights (unless they were out of ammo or fuel and even then they said on channel 1 'hey Spit vs Niki I'm outta ammo rtb'), and the fights were almost never bigger than a 2 on 1 (except on a few occasions but they were also very fun fights). I have rarley seen any of this kind of fighting in the MA in a LONG time.

Well, what I'm getting at is these two arenas are basically the same except for 1 difference. Unlike the MA the DA has no ranks! Therefore, no one is trying to protect their K/D ratio by running, trying to increase their rank by BnZing only, or by using their lag to their advantage by trying to ram you.

SO, my wish to HTC is to get rid of the ranking system in the MA, it serves no purpose other than "dweebs" trying to get their rank as low as possible to get on the "Top Pilots of the Tour" on the home page. The only purpose rank does serve is who gets control of the CV.

Ok maybe this wish will be to add something  :D . If rank is rid of then who will control the CV and who can over-throw them? Well how about this? Anyone can take control of the CVs, but if someone doesn't like what they are doing with the CV, they put a waypoint into a PT spawn, or they won't leave command then they can click a little button (ex. button named "Mutiny") and if enough people 'vote' for the mutiny then that person is releaved of his duties as CV commander for 5-10 mins (so they can't just take back control).

Yes, there will be people fighting with each others because they just got over-thrown from CV command or the usual name-calling, but don't we already have that going on now?? Even I don't see how we could ever stop the fighting for the CV other than what HT has done; put more than 1 CV on most maps.

Personally, I'd like an option where you can see your score or not. Personally, I'd just like to see my kills nothing else.  :aok

For as many people who don't care for the scoring aspect of the game, there is an equal amount who like keeping track of their scores as an indicator of their progress in the game.

Some people will "game" the system to get the low score.

But there is also a larger population who doesn't game the system ,and run from the fight to keep their precious score low.

Ya can't please all the people all the time.

I think the system and the game is great just the way it is. :rock

Add an option for you to see your actual score/Kills:Deaths/Kills:sorties or just to see your kills.  :aok

They can keep the player Stats for personel  veiwing...but I also like the idea of doing away with the scoring system. Maybe set up some kind of point system where every player gets a hundred or so points at the start of each tour (per arena) and every sortie cost something like .05 points and if you get killed you lose those points and if you return and land you get those point plus something like 1 point plus your perks. I think it could improve the game play, not to mention do away with the reckless flying that I sometimes see in the game. And if you lose your points before the end of the month then you just have to fly in a different arena. Just a suggestion!

Probably couldn't be hard to put up something like this.
