Friday in the DA

[TequilaChaser]

The question is this......

Do you enjoy flying and shooting the Corsair, taking his wing off and removing him from the fight?

Or do you only derive enjoyment when you get credit for the kill in the buffer (which only you see BTW)?

If you derive enjoyment from the first then you enjoy the process. If the second is where the enjoyment is then you only enjoy the result. I would suggest concentrating on enjoyment of the process instead of only on the expected result.

When you don't enjoy the process but do enjoy the result, we call that a job or work. When you do it for the thrill of doing it it is called fun or recreation.

If Aces High is a job then I would suggest another form of entertainment.

you win the " BEST POST/REPLY  AWARD for this thread!!!    ( really for any thread..........seriously ! )

     Switch sides in the DA if you feel like you are getting ganged..there is no time limit on switching.  What is worse, ganged or too many friendlies?  One you are working on your computer skill set, the other means it is time to switch countries.   
    Once you get killing skills down, you'll get as many kills as you can handle. 
    I think its funny in the DA when another guy goes for the plane I just knocked down.. many times the guy augers and he at least blows his alt. advantage and may meet an early death.  Several new guys in there may not think that he is indeed going down so I dont think they are 'kill stealers'. 
   I think they should end the kills landed messages in there and much of the dweebiness will go away.  It will get rid of the 'vet' picktards in there who think they are great dogfighters and love to show off their skills by impressing a bunch of newbs like some troll by landing 5 kills in a spit16. 
   I've been vulched before by a 110 in the DA.

Anyone who always avoids chaotic furballs remains at the same level of ability to survive in them, while those who enjoy them only get better at furballing. A product of this is that everyday the furball becomes a little more skillfull and a little more dangerous. Every day spent complaining instead of soaking it up is a day wasted and a harder task to face the next day. Does that make sense to anyone?
 Learning a skill is sometimes about adaption to new surroundings. Lifeforms that do not adapt usualy get walked on by those that do.

Understand what you are saying Mech, I dont generally fly in the furball arena unless I'm waiting on a squaddie to duel - that said, on the few occasions I have flown there, whilst its been ho central, pick park etc etc etc - its actually been fun and had me laughing me nuts off in short order. Plus, as you said, its fun to learn to avoid the super fast temps, corsairs etc, work the angles and gain an advantage.

Plus, some of the guys in there are actually really really polite (there are some who aren't obviously, but I've met some good ppl in there)

Personally, for me, it could be better, but it is what it is.

(and yes, I'd still like to see the better sticks come in and clear it out just for the fun of it (as I've mentioned that before))

You must enjoy defending the single lamest behavior in the game much more than you enjoy...well, anything.

Or do you only derive enjoyment when you get credit for the kill in the buffer (which only you see BTW)?

Wrong...the victim also sees it, and that is the important part.

Score is kept in this game. People can say what they want, that it is not important, that they don't care, fine, whatever. But someone desperate enough to shoot at wreckage spiraling down damn well does care, and they are cheating to pad their score, at the expense of someone else's score.

The only explanation I can think of for your defense of this behavior is the old expression "A hit dog howls."

Some people enjoy the process AND the result. I would imagine this actually includes most people. Else we wouldn't have kill buffer or people RTBing to land kills. You work hard, enjoy getting the kill only for someone to snatch the result away from you. A legitimate whine.. in MA.

In DA, really... shouldn't fridgen matter. Furball lake should just be about the process of fighting in a furball. Not another MA on crystal meth which it is now...
I saw this guy piss n moan about losing his 5 kills  and putting so much emphasis on the fact that he had 5 kills which he was going to land... but got jumped n killed! Aww. He would've been a damn hero I say!! A HERO!

[caldera]

I have landed exactly once in the DA. That was because I had only a single bullet left and my P-40 was miraculously still air-worthy.
I did it mostly as a joke, after seeing people land 2 in a Tempest. WTFG 2 killz in a Tempest!!! 


The DA really is The MA on meth. If I can spot a single red dot (pretty rare), I'll vector that way. It's fun though, just to hang right off the enemy base and wait to be bludgeoned by the swarm. It's priceless making them auger fighting over the easy kill.

I suppose you are mad about that service ceiling post.

[Shifty]

They are probably the least dweebish country in the game IMHO because I've been on all three sides. Nits are just pathetic, bish might as well be called "the collective" but rooks seem to be well rounded),

They're all the same.

Hey...you are the one who keep defending out-and-out cheating. It would be like making posts defending necrophilia...perhaps it would be unfair to assume you actually do it, but folks would still look at you askance.

[mechanic]

ewww......BnZ that sickness is a bit like kill stealing..

"It's still warm...SHOOT IT! "
 

[bj229r]

seems like you're a rook, fishing.

1)there is no loyalty to a chess piece, especially in da.
2)if it agitates ya, then go somewhere else.
3)see twentyfo. he'll teach ya how to place better bait.

Half the Nits online at any time belong to the 'Rowdy Ones', and never switch, mebbe 1/3 of Rooks online at any time belong to 'TAS', and practically never switch, but for a couple...I don't think Bish have one yet

Despite all the DA's shortcomings, I've never seen any vultching in there.

Possible?  Yes.  Seen it?  No.

First time in there in a couple weeks, 109F tried to vulch me as I started engine, F6 as I raised wheels

How exactly did I defend "out and out cheating"?

Reviewing your responses in this thread leads me to believe that you possibly misinterpreted my posts but I am sure you will explain it all very soon.

[mechanic]

from what i got Dawger's post was quite simple. You either enjoy the fight or the kill, or both and that enjoying only the kill is a narrow outlook on the game. I'm pretty sure that is all he was saying.
