What makes AH fun?

[Solar10]

Yup.

Yup

I wonder if at the convention PCs should be put away for an hour and everyone go out to the parking lot to run/fly around with their arms out in mock dog fights.  I'd pay to see the first HO or collision. 

Medics should be on hand!

Found the following snippet from Bud Anderson's book.

Everyone had a bicycle. By Day, you would dogfight the other pilots on bikes, which often got pretty rough; and at night you'd ride your bike into Leiston or Theberton or Saxmundham, or Yoxford if you were a bit more ambitious, and then you'd get blasted and ride it home through the blackout.  The bicycles produced nearly as many casualties as the Luftwaffe did.  Eventually, the flight leaders huddled and put out the word to cool it with the bikes.

I used to take a jeep or M3 up a very steep hill until I get to the top. Id look around to enjoy the scenery for a little while. Then when im done id turn on the recorder and zoom all the way down in neutral and/or roll it

all the semi homoreoticism....

What makes Aces High fun to me is being able to communicate with so many different people from all over the world.  As many of you may know, I spend a LOT of time in the tower just chatting with different players.  I thoroughly enjoy talking to my squaddies and other people in game that I've actually met at Dayton. 

I have to admit, though, if it wasn't for my squadmates and close friends on here, I would rarely ever get the urge to get online.  I love being able to fly the many planes I read about as a kid, but it just doesn't entertain me the way it used to.

It's mostly RL related, but I am definitely burntout.  I still love the game and flying with my squad when I have time.  The game has a million things to do that are fun and being creative and doing different stuff is the key to enjoying it.  Hope to fly this weekend.

Where do you think Spit pilots started?

I have a fair bit of MMO experience and pvp has always been the primary draw to games for me.  AH is the ultimate challange for me.  I used to like pvp in eve or in wow or in the fps games, but in all those games the pve carebears take over and the pvp gets standardized and made redunudant to the oveall economics of the game - where gear, setpus become more important that player skill.

AH is really a game that calls for skill and expereince to detarimine the winner an where people don't have to be risk adverse becau they don't lose anything in taking a chance and trying something new.  Its also a game where you can really master a plane.  Even after playing for awhile, I still learn new things all the time and watch some of the experts do things that I can only describe as magic.  Thats appealing to me - that it takes time and patience and imagination to become good, not money o gear or loadouts.  No grind, pure pvp, real skill an a little luck = good.

Burnout definitely a factor.  >S<        I have been playing regularly since 2004 and I am 'that guy' who has reached the skill plateau and have no idea what it takes to get better.  I never expected to be the best (and I am NOT).  The game was simply fun for it overall play and the 'coolness' factor of chatting and hanging out with people all over the world.

I have not played now in over a month.  I hit the burn and the game became more frustrating than fun.     There are times when the 'addiction' is overwhelming  and it is hard to remain out of the game, but I feel I have to for a while for that 'break'.  If I drop any further into the burnout, I would likely cancel the subscription; so, I figure some time away and hopefully comeback refreshed and I can keep my account on the hope of return.  I wish some of the other 'burnouts' would tell me how long this lasts (yeah I know 2-weeks LOL).

Hope to see you all back in a few months.  In the mean time, a word of advice..... Don't take the game so seriously (something I need to pay attn to) and just have fun at blowing stuff up (<Insert Tim Allen grunt> aughh aughh aughhh augh.)

This applies to life -- it's one of the secrets to happiness.  Know what to take seriously and what to take lightly;  know what's important and what doesn't matter. 

That and the number 42.
