Is the game in decline

[mthrockmor]

My observation, things that frustrate:
1. Arena caps
2. ENY
3. Maps
4. Ground Vehicles ?

I think arena caps has been chewed over. Open them up altogether or allow for squad mates to jump into an arena even if its full. Nothing worse then have numerous squadies in an arena, talking on the TS and I'm chasing a brewer at 20k.

I understand eny but it is broken. How many times have I been on a base that is getting horded, only to find we can only up in biplanes. I know, I know but eny is very frustrating.

Some maps just suck. I don't have them memorized but the big land one in the shape of a "y" is the worst. Others may love it but...

Finally, I know many love ground vehicles but this is a flight game. There are times when I can't even find seagulls to shoot out and 20 guys are slugging it out in tanks. Maybe cap the number of ground vehicles. Ironic that this might drive them from the game so maybe not the best idea.

Bonus coverage, too many choices. In marketing there is much research that when people are given too many choices they tend to walk away. Counterintuitive but something to consider. All these rides might actually be hurting the game. Maybe rotate in and out certain birds. How many Jugs do we need? F4Us? 109s? Consider it.

PS Let me add that I agree with the economy having an impact. Over the past many months I have read of many leaving due to job loss, relocation, etc. This includes a couple in our squad.

I Remember one day Fighter ace had just introduced the jets  it was badass IMO , next thing ya know "Blip" No more Fighter ace

and I don't want to hear how different Aces High  this is than Fighter Ace  cause that's a crock.

IMO if the Veteran Pilots don't start welcoming Noobs AH will soon end up like FA , Nada zilch gone ,

Then all you poor SOB will be on WARBIRDS lmao

"All of the above of course is IMO"

I thought other games went belly up becase there was no investment.

This game seems to still get a flow of neww planes tanks etc.

I seem to remember a couple of years ago when many players quit was because they lost their jobs.  so 15 bucks a month dont seem like much, but then again, you also need internet provider, computer upgrades (average what you pay) and it all adds up to a good monthly bill.  If I factor my upgrades (some are just upgrade just to upgrade)  my true cost for ah is around 80 bucks a month.  considering I only use the puter to pay bills and play ah.  a lot of others mostly quit because, the either want to spend more time with their wife/school/gf or they went oversees to serve.  not many quit because of the game, some did, but not many.

anyway it's getting tiresome of seeing this "the game is about to die" threads.  they're kind of stupid since we dont have any info about who/how many quit or for whatever reason.  the game will definitely be over the day some "big" company buys it.  because then the big mouths will really turn it into a wow game.

I hate caps and some other stupid stuff like bushes flipping tanks, but overall i say and most will agree that HT is doing a pretty good job of keeping the game fun and the company in good shape.

so let this thread end till next week when somebody posts another "game is over" thread.

1. Squad night in the less populated arena, on Tuesdays?
2. Switch sides. Learn to fly something other than P-51/LA7/SpitXVI?
3. Maps? Get tired of living in the same place often? I'll never get this one.
4. GVs?? Too many? Really?

Seems you want everyone to play to make you happy.

Imo, if you don't understand why maps are important, you are a very one dimensional player.  Don't take that as an insult, there is nothing wrong with that.

[The Fugitive]

I understand that some maps generate more fights than others as well as generating different types of fights. No one map is going to please everyone, so it up to the player to make his own fun out of what the map has.

From what Ic
 Can see complaining about the maps doesn't make them any more fun. Maybe it's time to try something else for fun

yup it is,  if you are just repeating it, it's just hearsay. or you can produce the names of the thousands of people that have quit the game due to it going into the dumps.

What does ENY do? I've never noticed. (In other words, fly something different, like a 109)

[pervert]

You have earned the tagline reading achievement 

[MarineUS]

People who  about ENY are pathetic pilots. My K/D SUCKS, but you don't see me crying about not being able to get into a super uber duper plane.

Either all those girls can learn to become a more rounded (and therefore; better,) pile-it or they can go play somewhere else. It keeps the playing field fair. There's 2 arenas. Tired of the ENY and lack the ability to adapt and overcome your situation, go to the other ****** arena.

Economy is playing a roll as well as everyone giving the noobs a hard time. Why? Because the modern gamers of today are sheltered brats, but you need to hold on to them while they come in. If you insult every one of them every time they come on, they don't just leave, they spread word about how ignorant of a community we seem to be.

There.
