Fudging the Rules

[hubsonfire]

Or maybe people could just accept that their ideas either aren't new, or don't have merit, and could let it go at that.

I didn't even get THOSE answered officialy, I think some administrators wrote back, but nothing official. Kinda like HT saying he should kick that guy in the ribs.

What part of "small staff" do you not understand? If HT feels that your idea merits a response...he would respond. I know from experience that his BBS time is spent reading...not responding. Just about the only times anyone gets a response is when they post something that pisses him off.....or something that is so dumb it makes him spit his soda on the monitor!!

Frankly, the game is better off from him spending his time more productively.

Since it is so easy... I suggest writing your own game and implement your ideas. Don't forget to setup a BBS so you can read other folks ideas too. Then implement them also. I figure within 2 weeks you could have a real popular game on your hands.



Since this game here is based mainly on aircraft I think your asking way too much.

HiTech,

I have a hard time understanding anyone being upset or wanting more from your current offerings in this game at the rate you update it.  The constant share holder ownership entitlement mindset that $14.95 a month engenders in this community brings to mind 30 year old bloggers in their mothers basement whining on blogs in thier jammies, but..... I don't hear from many of them in the same conversation extending to you the respect you are due for what you have created and what you have to put up with to provide this game.

I mentioned this once a few years back. Could you put in a special arena using the AW2 vintage 16 color terrain RR Small Europe map limited to the same plane set please? When players complain you can limit their arena privleges to the bad old days arena for a week to gain perspective on how well they have it in 2009 for $14.95 a month.

Be nice to go back in time and relive it...but we can't.

I'm sure I'd get real board playing the old AW but I sure do miss the people. It was a good time.

I just read this thread and I have some comments. First I am disappointed by the way in which a member of the company responded to constructive criticism in order to stimulate conversation. I have been away for awhile because of classes and funding and after reading this I question the wisdom in coming back now that I do have the money and was trying to get caught up on the happenings within the community.

Instead, I would respectfully ask for an apology and ask for the answers to the questions, I for one do not know what the answers are. I love this game and the community both. It is really amazing what can be done with computers these days compared to the days when there was no internet, but it is surprising that tech folks are not open to improvements as the field is constantly evolving and some good ideas can sometimes be gleaned from the end user.

I further am rather disappointed in no one else expressing such frustration with a representative of the company to a paying member for so many years.


Back on topic: I think that some of the ideas that float around the boards are good, some are bad, and many are just plain not something that can be implemented without a whole revamp of the game which honestly I know is allot of time and money which may not be beneficial from a business standpoint. Someday the time will come when the company will begin work (if they have not already at some level) for AHIII which will be ground breaking in new ways.

I would encourage folks to post their ideas and just remember that there are many ways to skin a cat, and that changes must be within business concept as well as that of what is realistic to do with modifications to the existing game. Do not let that discourage anyone, but remember the realistic abilities of changing what exists compared to a new game completely.

it would be nice to be able to call in arty fire if 'big guns' like from a cv group were in range. arty bases would also add a whole new part of strategy to the game.

WB had it. had to be in a bomber or gv, you called in a spotting round, waited the time it took for the shell to travel, looked for it to hit, typed in a correction in degrees and distance, waited for the shell to land, corrected again, and had them "fire for effect"

again, you had to be in a gv or bomber, and within range of arty guns.

Most of us that have played for awhile already do what your stateing. I think what your asking for is "communication" between the gunners and the fly boys, gv's ect.. Well that's all dependent on who is in the guns at the time. I know i've had my squadies guide my 8 inch rounds onto tiger tanks numerous times. They love the chatter after the kill.

You should probably take over HTC.
