Me4,

Just a thought... I used to become infuriated when a guy started magically warping just when my firing solution was near perfect, or when someone would attack my buffs and then suddenly warp past me once I started firing back. Obviously some cable tugging/recorder on/off ing etc. was going on. But then it occurred to me that the reaction should be one of pity not outrage. This fellow is so small that he is willing to cheat in order to save his cartoon aircraft from destruction in a game. In essence, its a public declaration that you have no shame, no honor, no empathy, and probably no life to speak of.

Admittedly, this kind of character and the small men who spend all their time ranting and picking fights if someone makes the mistake of shooting them down lower my desire to play the game, but hey, you'll find 'em wherever you go. The trick is to let it stay their problem and not become yours out of sheer frustration. For them, its obviously more than a game, never let them make you join them in their land of the pathetic.

IMO we should just get rid of the scoring system, only thing we'd have to put up with then is Perk Harvesters.

When did it become about rank and score? 

Towards the end of AW3.

The HTC system of 'name in the lights' landings and recognition of top scorers on the website adds to the problem.  Basically, its encouraged.

Bring back kill macros and removing above emphasis on scoring and call it a day.

Never said it sucked.  I pointed out an example of the level to which some in the game have descended.  Why don't I quit?  Well I don't quit because outside of these blatant examples of questionable tactics, I still enjoy flying around and killing cartoon airplanes. 

Since this is a forum to openly express our thought and opinions I have.  As have you, so eloquently I might add.

Post was a commentary on the decline of the level of "fair play", honor and what I would call appropriate game behavior that I have noted in my five plus years of Aces High.  Your opinion may differ and I  :salute you for having one.

As for the rules.

4- Members should post in a way that is respectful of other users and HTC. Flaming or abusing users is not tolerated.

I did not call him names.  I pointed out what was done and how I felt about it.

8- Cheating allegations or descriptions are not allowed. Email support@hitechcreations.com to report any issues regarding this. HTC permanently bans anyone caught cheating in Aces High. We take cheating and allegations of cheating very seriously.

Never accused him of cheating.  Just of exploiting a know bug to pad his score.

9- Complaints about a player's behavior online should be emailed to support@hitechcreations.com rather than posted to this board.

Email with corresponding film sent.

I would check rule #6   :P


Known bug?  I personally have never experienced this bug, therefore unknown to me. 

Usually what I see are people complaining about "invincible vehicles" as they shoot at them from 2.5K out.   :rolleyes:

I wasn't around then and haven't heard anything about it, what are "kill macros"?
