I would like to see any fish fried(i dont disagree in any way)but i have not seen any tuna or catfish on the plate seance i started playing (i am keeping in mind im relatively new compared to a lot of people)But i see a lot of valid complaints and not yet has anything been done ....that i have seen anyway.Not that im right(gaww i dont want anyone to jump down my throat)As it seems their is a lot of people that love all HTC dose and they think HTC cant do any wrong.No big deal to me though if it never changes.....heak i hear we are going to have combat tour in two weeks  :D

Well ... take a look at the "News, Announcements, & Information" forum ... you will see that in March, they released Version 2.12 and 4 patches since then ... so there is your last "catfish fry" ... and another one will probably served up soon. Also, take a look at what changes are listed in those releases. A good majority of them are bugs that people found and passed on to HTC ... so they do listen, but they tend to ignore whining.

When it comes to gameplay ... if someone or a group of people don't like something ... it doesn't mean that it is broken ... it means that they just don't like it.

HT takes gameplay very seriously and has only made changes when he deemed it necessary. There is no one that has there finger on the heartbeat of Aces High more than HT, and no one but him and HTC knows what is best for Aces High ... it's how they butter their bread, so don't think for 1 second that someone or some people whining about a game aspect is going to sway him unless he can actually see that the bottom line is being hurt from it.

I don't love all that HTC does, but I am grateful for whatever they do ... and in my 6+ years playing this game, I have never found a case where HT did not make the right choice.

better options are suggested every time this topic comes up. until they are implemented, people will continue to post about it. perhaps the endless requests for new aircraft etc take attention away from the stuff that makes a big difference and is easily fixed, like caps, map rotations etc.

better options ? ... says who ?

Most options that I have ever seen are only half baked and are biased toward what they are complaining about ... most never look at the whole picture.

Umm i dont need to check the front web page i was here for that,But when i first came on i was ranked 4000,or something,so that means over 4000 people are paying 15 dollars a month.If i do the math it seems plenty could be done besides a new patch and a few new rides.It would not take a whole lot of recourses to fix the balancing cap issue

I assume their is a cap because of server issues(But i admit i have no freaking clue way their is a cap)But if its a server thing then they "have" to have it not to overload their network.

It's to balance the numbers between the two arenas... without the dynamic caps, the numbers would probably often look something like;

Orange;550/550
Blue;34/550

Now... which would you rather... our current system or something like that?

Yes but i think it is a bad idea to do it with low numbers....like to go from 200 to 100 when their is 300 people on just let em play in one arena.Who cares if the other one is empty, at that point let the people play together.When people get home in midday it will fill up.look at night theirs plenty to mostly fill both,with high numbers :salute and its not just me i looked back at threads this has made a lot of people unhappy

Its not a server issue. Skuzzy has said that even at peak on TT it hasn't hit 10% YET. The arenas were split due to the larger populations having a tendency to "horde" to attack a base taking away the fun by a great many that can't stand against a hord, or being stuck in one and having to fight your teamates for a kill. Basically it was causing people to UN-subscribe from the game.

Sure they could set the cap static at 300 we'll say, but at some point there will be more than 300 logged in, and if your the 310 person logging in your stuck playing in an arena with only 10 people in it. Is this fun?, Is it fair? Will it cause more people to go AFK while they are at work just to save their spot?

The dynamic caps aren't perfect, but its the best way. So far all you've done is repeat the same answers that were posted, and shot down by HTC before. Come up with something new, I'm every idea hasn't been thought of over the last two years, give us a fresh one !

Are you really that dense ? ... or do you have a hard time reading and comprehending ?

So do us and yourself a favor, and do a search on this subject ... you will have enough reading material to keep you busy for week.
