Map Re-set... FIX IT!

[SkyRock]

Would this have anything to do with score or points?   

yup

[Yenny]

wtf is score 

[dedalos]

yup

Nahhh, I mean, that would have been like 200 points or so.  No one would make a big deal about that, would they?

Lets get rid of the 'war win' altogether and scoring of any kind.

Are you saying that because YOU don't like it. that YOUR idea of fun MUST be IMPOSED on those that do like the play/fight/win (or loose) aspect of aces high?

The Politburo has decreed that furballing is the ONLY acceptable form of gameplay to be tolerated in the Peoples Republic of Aces High as enumerated by Comrad Delirium, Chairman of the Peoples Committee of Air Combat Flight Simulations.

Long Live Comrad Delirium!!

Excellent!  Now we can get some things done.  As minister of propaganda I would first like to say that there was never a war/land grab.  The rumors were started by the war . . . . errrrr Imperialist pigs trying to create a division between furballers and the alleged land grabbers, that to be clear one more time, never existed to begin with.

Look at it like this, people who look for the furball are "fighter" types.  I myself don't get bothered that folks want to take a field here or there, but try fighting them and they run like diarrhea.   Who wants to log in on a fighting game and chase run twits for an hour or two, while they avoid any resistance whatsoever?

Please consider me Mr. Chairman for the post of Chairam of the Comittee for State Security.

Sounds like most folks are so busy taking some sort of uber-cool "score?  what's score?" stance that they're missing a perfectly valid point the bald has brought up here.

I haven't been on for too many map resets.  But, Saturday? I was on when one of the other teams won in Late War.  I was up, winging with a buddy.  He had re-armed and had been flying the same plane for at least an hour.  I had about 30 minutes in.  Suddenly we get the "War won by..." and all of the bish bases turn to the other team.

My first thought was, WTF?  Ok, fine, the other team won the war.  But why am I now completely unable to land anywhere?  Forget kills or score...now I have a choice of augering in some manner, or flying around in circles waiting for the map to reset. 

The reward for reset?  I get disconnected and the game shuts completely down.

Baldeagle is completely right here.  There has to be a MUCH MUCH better way to coad the war reset than to kick the player to desktop.  I don't focus on score, but the way it is now, it's like all the flight time never happened.

Maybe argue on the merits of his point than trying to be the uber-cool no-score guy (tm).  It's a good point worth discussing.

But if it kept their names off the main page for another tour... LOL

Considering you can pretty much show that the decline in game play started with the Top Tour Score potato of the Month Award contest HTC ran a few years ago, I say Del has a great point.

You should be glad you werent on the rearm pad of one of those fields.

I was on final with 12 kills when the map reset hit and changed the base to un-friendly. I was only a little bothered by it yet at the same time it was kind of funny.

IMHO the bases should not change when the war is won. I don't feel strongly enough to stomp my foot about it, but this is my opinion..

[Spikes]

Was once flying around in a 262 unknowing that we had 1 more field to get. I had 6 kills and was on final for a rearm. Touched down and as I was slowing near the end of the runway, we won the war. I throttled up as fast I could and put my flaps all down while I was at 100 mph trying to dodge ack, trees, and hedges. I made it out with dual engine oil leaks, a PW, missing left flap and missing elevator. Luckily my PW lasted longer than the map reset time, or else I would have been 270 perks in the hole.

I've been involved with the war winning base take a few times. I think it's funny when the base you just took suddenly turns to an enemy base and it's even funnier when it turns into a totally different country base than what you just took.

Trying to re take the base in the limited time available is also very challenging, unless a second goon or M3 is close that is.

Best of all it's after losing the map and watching the guys try to scatter from a de-acked and completely vulched base from tower.
