There are newbies who come to the boards asking questions and seeking answers with a likeable attitude and respect towards other players and the game ... and then, there are the n00bs, who make debut at the forums with guns blazing and start flinging stupid accusations on how the game is such a piece of crap, full of over/under/wrongly modelled stuff which somehow mysteriously seeks to treat only himself unfairly. It's always the game's fault, or some other cheating, hacking, cable-pulling sonofabi*ch who gets away with it. It's never because of one's own lacking skills. It's always "I fire zillion rounds and saw some hit flashes, but the other guy is fine. Either the game's fediddleed up or the other guy is a cheater" again and again and again.

Don't ask us to treat those two types as the same. They aren't.


Who decides what a likeable attitude is and what is not? You?  The facts are that there are some A type personalities who just need some advice, flaming them will not change their behaviour just make it worse.  Some of you seem to have pretty tender skins when it comes to the boards, but have no problem roasting the other guy

Do you?

Fact is, that is not the first thread by the OP just ranting and blaming the game for his own shortcomings. He wasn't asking for help. He wasn't even asking for information, clarification or even other people opinions "I have trouble in/with... I wonder if the P-47... how do you XXX?". No, he straight went to pull the hacker card.

This is a joke i just fired a load of .50's in a 47 at a 24.And what do i get nothing the hacker kills me with no damage this is ridiculous around 1k of rounds in him and hes not getting any damage.Either its the Gun damage ratio or hes a worthless hacker.

If you think that's a likeable attitude...  :rolleyes:

So your position then Snail, is that flaming is good and the Gods of BBS should rule (could we have a chart on that please).  I never said his rant was likeable, I just said setting him straight in some OTHER mannor than flaming him would have been better.  Your post is no less of a rant than his except you are defending being "right" to flame.

Well I shot a single B-17 on the wing about a few hundred times with 6 50 cals, I hear two pings on my wing and it busts off, so that tells me something is really stupid how my bullets didn't take his wing off, but two pings on my wing did, and I was flying P-51D, I've taken 20mm rounds alot on the wing.

I take it, like usual, you don't have any film to back up your exaggerated tales?

Appears there are quite a few "new guys" experiencing the occasional "rubber bullet" syndrome...it's happened to a lot of us and boiled down to our game settings...whines like what the OP posted and from Thrash99 need to be posted with film or screen shots in the tech support forum along with details on game settings...even a dxdiag and help will be given.

This. Every online game ever invented has had issues with collision detection brought on by network lag or similar issues. AH is no exception. And if you're a newb, it can be extremely frustrating starting out in a game like this, where everyone else has more stick time and the first six weeks (at least) is nothing but being bent over a barrel and getting... loved tenderly.

And then you finally get a set-up on a big, blundering bomber and you go OHBOYOHBOY FOR ONCE I FINALLY GET TO SHOOT SOMETHING-

and then rubber bullets.

Not everybody's been playing this game for years and years, fellas. And this game in particular is unusual among the MMOs for the high number of older/adult players on here. We should be able to manage a little more patience for the wild noobs, eh?

With an april of 08 bbs registration he really should not be, nor post like a newb.

Granted he got rode hard by a few, but he also got politely pointed the error of his ways by most.
For someone who's been in the game for 2 years he should know better than pull the hacker bs.
And yes he did post some 4 or 5 posts in quick succession. All in a very similar vein.

Not that a bit more tolerance would hurt in some cases.

You have your methods, we have ours. Don't like it? Well that's too bad.
You call it "flame", we call it "treating one as they deserved to be treated." What comes around goes around.
You're welcome to turn the other cheek and stick to your kindergarten idealism, but don't expect us to do the same.

If the OP had a better attitude and asked politely on what's going on, we'd have more than gladly answered his questions no matter how
stupid or naive it might have been. The snailman and plenty more other people shown face on this thread already have shown they could do
so in many other posts.

Instead, the OP chose to openly flame and belittle the game for his own shortcomings, and you expect us to be all nice and cozy...and then
go so far as to criticize people who don't feel like kissing a salamander's ass.

Just who's calling who 'forum God' here?

Hmmm 6k plus posts and you wonder what a form God is? BTW who the hell is we? If you can't stand up for yourself don't post, looks to me like your the childish one with name calling rant.  If you want to hump Snails' ankle send him a pm

You are aware of the irony that you are flaming and ranting more than anyone else in this thread? With a choice of words & phrases that aren't showing a particular adult style at all?  :)

LOL you call that a flame but disregard the screaming ranting post that caused the reply??? I think your bias skirt is show abit there Snail (but why should I expect different, I am chastising the "BBS Gods" and of course they will attempt to shout me down to maintain their fictitious position of superiority). :neener:

As for Gyrene we haven't agreed on much since I said "no" to no icons, so his response is both typical and expected  :banana: :banana: :banana:

Ahhhh  so your flame & rant is of course justified, but my "rant" is not. In other words.... it's not a bad thing as long as you are doing it. ;)
Now who's acting as a BBS "God"  now? :)

And please go back and compare your choice of words with mine.... The irony is still strong  :lol

Typical case of pot calling kettle black.  But alas, I'm done with this.
