Look at all Aces High has to offer :  AvA, FSo, heavy metal sunday, european campaign, DA, scenario, KOH,.... etc, etc..
There must be something that would interest you other than MA.
I think AH is a great time waster... 'Time well wasted' ..lol

That mentality justifies the OP's rant. It's all centered on what you want not what brings people to AH and keeps them coming back, not something that makes the main arenas better, not something that changes the lame behavior that people are so quick to whine about.

Furballs occur all the time in the LW mains. The length of time they last is determined by how long the fh or cv stays up.

In every furball, someone is going to HO, pick, kill steal, not call a check six, etc...and after a short while the furball stops being fun for the "you ain't got skillz unless you can 1v1" crowd, and they go find another fight. Or someone kills the fh and everyone yells at the "fun police".

In every furball someone is talkin trash about another persons lame behavior, as if there is some sort of ridiculous etiquette expected in a furball.

When you take away the ridiculous notions about what people think they want, it all boils down to - fighters want an opportunity to engage in an aerial battle, as long as it fits their silly ideology. Bombers want to be able to drop bombs and land with as many damage points as possible, without having to deal with someone trying to shoot them down. Tankers want to be able to have tank warz, without having to deal with someone dropping bombs on them. And the armchair generals are all trying to win the war and it doesn't matter who is doing what as long as they come running with every single "ALERT!!!"..."HELP"...blah blah blah.

But none of those groups wants to do anything without denying the others the ability to do what they want in the arenas provided for the overall community, or making silly requests for HTC to provide yet more resources just so a select few can have a few jollies. The best thing about all of that is the dueling arena has places for whatever people want to engage in, but no one wants to go there even though that is reason for it's existence. But hey, it's easier to ask HTC to declare 1 day a week <insert silly desire here> on the main arenas just so they can avoid going to the DA or making an attempt to actually think about what makes the main arenas fun.


hmmmmmmmm well as foretold the first of the "go to the DA'ers" has lipped up to impart upon the rest of us poor foolish mortals his opinion of just how bad an idea this would be. isn't it funny that those that preach the most in their threads about what other people want are the first to want to jam down the throats of the rest of us just how what we might want shouldn't matter?

does the DA have kill shooter off???? no i think not!

does the DA have friendly collision???? no i think not!

can you kill the guy from your own country that just happens to be silly enough to fly in front of you???? no i think not!!

can you kill every red guy near you and decide that your squaddies hide would look funny stuffed and mounted on your trophy wall and kill him without having to land/ditch, switch countries, re-up, go find your squaddie (who by now probably knows what your up to) kill all the friendlies around him and then commence the hunt for your squaddies beloved skin to mount and hang upon your trophy wall???

see the "go to the DA mentality" doesn't always work for all of the insidious things that the mind of a Muppet can cook up. so instead of just being the generic type of nay-sayer why dont you help create an idea that will suit the occasion? instead of just spouting the big ball of nothing that everyone who doesn't like change spouts why don't you apply that (and no insult hidden here, compliment intended) higher level of intelligence to helping us figure a way to make it work instead of just saying "NO".

Your correct.  There are places already provided to do all these things that they dont take advantage of now, they are ghost towns now.  

I would also like to address some that are trying to spin this into something about not being able to fly with squaddies or the size of a squad.  It has nothing to do with that whatsoever.  I can and do fly with only a few squad mates on at a time, others may even be in another arena, may not be any of us on.

So before you start your spin, recognize that a problem has been stated (from the community) about 1 side being ganged.
That issue of what many have stated is a problem with hording 1 side in this 3 sided chess game, it isn't coincidence, it isn't because they are outnumbering anyone, even if they don't have the numbers its gang 1 side.  What does the communty have to say about it?  Nothing. 
  
Nothing is being done about it from the community, the one community that talks all the trash about not ruining gameplay of others, and all the other blah blah blah horsecrap they spew about wanting a decent fight.  Some of the biggest names and oldest players here have totally contradicted themselves that have said they wanted "change" to this game for the better are the ones that are relishing what HT has created for them, just one big mega horde.  

I don't even want to get into the idiots that don't even play that seem to have something to say about the game they don't participate in that post on the BBS.....  :rolleyes:

I play this game for one reason: to kill other players toons.

That is where I get my enjoyment today.  All other interests and desires neatly funnel into that one main overriding desire.  To kill your toon.

I accept fully that other people have other reasons to play and I do not fault any of them.  As long as it means I get to kill their toons.

I accept that most of the whines in this thread come from people not as far along the AH evolutionary path as myself.  Someday they will be able to snatch the pebbles from my hand.

You sir are a mental giant. When you find killshooter off and friendly collision on in the main arenas, there won't be anything but squeakers left in them and a hundred separate whine threads in the forums. But then someone with a high IQ would know and understand that.

Perhaps reading comprehension is not your strong suit. I never said "go to the DA". I said it's there if the garbage you first spouted is truly that important to you. I hope you understand the inference there. Read it carefully.

If you want an arena to go stupid in, try asking really nicely if one of the AvA admins would mind setting up the AvA server for something like that...you never know, you could get a whole week.

More seriously, AH is not about Social Darwinism.  It is about what makes one happy within the framework of the game and norms of behavior per HTC.

That’s only because they think if they hang out with you enough they may get a chance to meet the SunBat… :cool:
