Why I dont tune to 200

[Steve]

think it's pretty certain to say, that none of us in a furball appreciates being picked.

So you expect to fly in a swarm of friendly and enemy planes and engage in a series of 1v1's?     

[Yarbles]

yarbles, from your posts, you sound like you would be clueless in a 1 vs 1.

Which would prove what exactly?

[CAP1]

So whats your problem?pickers not wanting to leave us to our fight....

If you saw the so called picker why didnt you get out the way?in a furball, when you're low n slow, that gets fairly hard

If you didnt why werent you looking?sometimes i don't see em......no matter how much i'm looking.

If the furball gets big enough how can you tell and what do you expect?how can i tell what? i expect to die, from another one of the furballers.

I am sorry but all this Furballers and Pickers distinction is to me a huge simplification to deal with the unpredictable. Some people dont need to understand the world in a them and us way, I know it sounds patronising but that is just how it is. Everyone is playing the game in their own way and this need to form gangs and impose on an imagaingary other is just underdeveloped to me.

The Bish are Horders

The rooks are all alt monkeys.

"The people I know fight fare but there are loads of newbs and tards in the game who HO and Horde and Pick and Fly dweeb planes and spoil the game for me and my right thinking gang of people who agree with me and so we are right about everything"just an FYI.....i run into many many more vets that are likely to ho, then noobs.

I mean Jezus christ "Is there life on Mars"   yes, there probably is....and considering the state f the human race, they're remaining well hidden

1-1's in a furball? you're kidding, right?

[Steve]

No, you must be kidding. Out one side of your mouth you are complaining about being picked in a furball.  Out of the other side of your mouth you are saying you know you don't get 1v1 in furballs.

Cap just give it up. By yarble's own desription he sits out on the edges looking for victims already engaged or damaged. He does not get in the fight or take chances.

Last night several folks from SAPP, me, Corkyjr, Del, stogey, Kjet, crims and a few others went from 63 to A1 for a fight. Big red darbar there..... perfect for those that are looking for a fight. We came in at about 6k and the cons were up around 10 to 12k. Again perfect for a good fight. Even though the cons outnumbered us 2 to 1 we still prevailed and did not lose one 38. That is what good fights are made of. Sitting out on the edges of a fight they never get to see that end of the game.

you're right............

[Yarbles]

Whatever else you may be in the game I reckon your a good sport Cap.

[mechanic]

soooo......

what you're saying, is that those of us that like to furball, should stop our furball, and go somewhere else when some scoremonger starts circling above and picking from our furball?

 i don't think so dude..........

What I said has nothing to do with furballs or base capture. It has to do with this constant negative vibe being thrown about the forums. The constant complaints when things don't go to one person's expectations. Every day another one of the 'skilled vets' trying to tell us that the game is a disgrace and not even worth paying for any more. 95% of the people complaining about other's skill level in the main arena would not stand a chance in the DA with someone like TonyJoey, a 'squeaker' aged, almost '2-week trial' player who knows more ACM than god. In the few years i've known Joey I have not seen him once complain about gameplay.

 How long do you think HTC will take over new patches and updates if all they see is customers complaining about other customers?

If I was them right now, I would take the game and forums OFFLINE comletely for a MONTH and then see who still wants to complain about 'gameplay'.

You misread..... of course some are going to HO. There are those that are not equipped to fight and others like yarbles that just don't care. Calling those out that do Ho is fine. It allows those of us who like a good fight to go elsewhere to find it and not waste our time. No harm in that. On the other hand if someone is embarrassed by being called out then maybe they should change their ways. You can tell which folks never go to DA. The DA is a mess of HOing individuals... oh and folks who just don't care.

Yarbles is  an upstanding, polite, fun and friendly member of the arenas. I don't give a damn if his method of killing does not fit my idea of fun. If he ho'ed me tomorrow I would probably say 'HO tard!' in light humour, to which he might ask 'if HO, why didnt you fire back?'
 That is in agreement with your post Shuff. If a quick call of hotard to cojule people tog et better or a squelching of 200 to enable the other player just to play how they like was all that was debated in this thread I would have been on your side here.

 Instead the thread was instantly twisted so people could complain about GAMEPLAY again. bah. Not only that but the OP was attacked, his words manipulated untill the simple discussion of squelching 200 or not was lost under the 'furballers' side STILL crying about gameplay.

 



edit:

S! to everyone
Dont bother quoting me, I dont want to argue about my opinion right now nor bump this thread any further.

i try to be......because i'm a super crappy pile-it. 

thanks......

Look I really appreciate your comments but I dont actually set out to Ho people and rarely even fire on someone front quarter and then typically only because I got my guns to bare first.

Running it down their throat is random and leads all too often to collision, I like to out fly them and stick it to them from beihind. When I am outnumbered like 3 or 4 to one Ill take any shot I can get otherwise I want to kill them and live to tell the tale just like everyone else.

I have yet to be impressed with anyone with a

• tag.

I'll rephrase:

I have yet to be impressed with anyone with a (+) precision tag.  Used the wrong parantheticals.
Reiner reinforced my impression earlier.  Good fight going with many people.  I end up on my own on the deck fighting 3 or 4 cons.  I avoid the HO with a spit16 that I've been forcing to overshoot for a minute or two.  Reiner does not avoid and proceeds to blaze away in a dweeby HO.

Lame gameplay at any time but made even more dweebish since he and friends outnumbered.

I have yet to see a respectable precision player.  All I've played with and against seem to be dweebs.

Clear enough?

Interesting because there is allot of crying and wingeing in the squad about picking and HO ing which I dont defend either.

We arnt a tribe, we fly together because we enjoy eachothers company. I suppose you can judge someone by the company he keeps and we are not one of the top fighter squads. When we fly against each other in scrimmage practices their isnt very much hoing if any.

Sometimes when its 4 against one it turns into a feeding frenzy but I think if you end up 4 against one you are doing someithing wrong. I dont think their is anyone in the game who can win 4 against one against experienced players. When we fight "The Few" we know they are massively better than us but they still are at pains to make sure sides are equal. Sure I have fought and killed 4 newbs at once but that isnt what was happening. The 4 players were racinig eachother to kill you as far as they would have been concerned you were just target practice.

You probably dont agree but like I said we can all beat 4 newbs but that wasnt what you wer up against though I suspect like most of us you are tempted to think you are that good and when it didnt work out it was "those dweeebs precision (all 27 of them) and they are all the same a buch of Hoing dweebs". I bet if it was a fair fight you would have killed all 4 and taught them a lesson right

Get a grip      

[stodd]

Pick is same as Ho its a question of degree of height and speed.     

Ummm no.

[Yarbles]

Ummm no.

One person says they got the angle first the other says he got Hoed.

One person says he was diving into the furball on someones six the other says he was picked especially if he didnt see who killed him.

Like I said before I have been playing for years and I dont get Hoed and Picked because I take responsibility and dont make excuses.

GOT IT

[CAP1]

No, you must be kidding. Out one side of your mouth you are complaining about being picked in a furball.  Out of the other side of your mouth you are saying you know you don't get 1v1 in furballs.

i've never said a single word complaining about wanting 1-1's in a furball.

i have however said i don't like the pickers hanging up above.

perhaps you should go back and re-read my posts. you'll see that i go into them fully expecting to die......from another furballer. in the big furballs, the ho's don't even really bother me that much, as they're bound to happen in that type of fight. they only bother me in 1-1's.

 i don't care if a guy wants to bnz. i don't care if he wants to pick. i don't care if he wants to pick, and try to pass it off as bnz.   
 i DO care that he has to insist on destroying a good fun furball to do it though. there's plenty of other fights to pick from without having to ruin the furballs.
