This is the only game I've ever heard of, or at least that I've paid for...that gets away with not putting out monthly updates of some sort.

He has a valid question.  The two week fun aside...

It has been many months since an update with new planes, when can we expect some new planes HTC?

Thanks,

Slade  :salute
  I'de be happy with some new terrain! But a new plane would be peachy keen... ;)

I really don't recall anyone at HTC making any promises of new planes, or an update schedule.  As a monthly subscriber, I do not really see the point of making "demands" for new content.

The "bones" are any new content that is developed when it is developed.  New content is appreciated and enjoyed, by most.  It's not a requirement to keep me subscribed.

Aren't we a bunch of spoiled children?

I more than 90% agree with you, but I too feel at least a monthly "update" of some sort would be nice, be it a development blog, or a new screenshot.. pretty much anything..  just to keep the saliva dripping.

I agree with you.   :aok  It would be nice.  But I don't feel it is a requirement nor do I feel in any way entitled to an update to stay a subscriber.  I know what I'm paying for.

I'm just a bit put off by those who feel they are "owed" something.  Some sort of entitlement that was never inferred nor promised, just assumed.

Gimme, gimme, gimme.  Now, now, now is just the wrong attitude to have, I think.

Yea, the "im paying $15 to know" line of thinking is getting old..

$15 bucks gets you in the arenas, not in the cubicals..


but the more I think of it,  how cool would it be if every month HT, Pyro.. or anyone from the team posted a little.. just a paragraph or so nothing crazy, nothing that would take more than 15 minutes of time .. post/blog/whatever about progress towards the next update, or even about their thoughs about where the game is going in general....  would make for good reading and discussion.  Most people are going to keep playing regardless of weather the update is next week aor next quarter..  but its never a bad thing to get a little snippet here and there just to keep the interest peaked.

And besides, it would give us something to talk about besides what is or is not a HO, and who is the worst squeaker.

     Having a periodic update on the forums would be a nice treat, attaching us Plebians to the Patricians.  Now that the combat tour is dead there must be ideas the Brass are kicking around regarding the MA's.  While we did get a peek at some terrain, there was nothing more since.  Word on the street seems to be that the people are interested in some updates, if only info towards the next idea that is hatching.  I would bet that a post from AH staff about this said topic would see a huge number of views, creating a vortex of sub-posts and spin-off writings.  This is a great game, why not add the cherry on top...

Speaking of cherries (sorry, couldn't resist), have you guys who are asking for these things ever tried flying in a scenario?

I find that (despite my feeble attempts at promotion) a lot of people in Aces High don't know about them, and a majority of Aces High pilots have never tried flying in one.  Yet scenarios are an additional and different realm to explore if you haven't done so yet.

I'm so bored with this game. I wish HTC would allow us to have some sort of large scaled player made event to make things fun again. Maybe even allow us use of a private arena or something...man wouldn't that be cool. *sighs* I can dream can't I?
