Absolutely the poorest gamesmanship I've seen.

Wow, I agree Getback.   The funny thing is, those people that "switch and do this stuff" are usually the ones placed on a pedestal and admired.    

Who would switch for 12 hrs just to do that? Seems retarded

[Shuffler]

Seems to me that you're always going to get this sort of thing when you have "arcade game oriented" people playing.

I can see how it would be troubling to other goal-oriented people.

On the other hand, I've noticed that the offenders in these accounts usually are people that even I can shoot down.

They don't try to get better..... they just punch in cheat codes on xbox and SPS.  That is not available here on Aces High so they work around it.

No I think it is more important you keep spending your time keeping Penguin in line on the BBS.

Well yes, try playing any game where it is stacked against you and see how long you enjoy it.

that would depend on a person's personality wouldn't it? i've never enjoyed any game that was easy, which is why i maintain my ah subscription. few people here have worst stats than i do. on the other hand there are some who appear to not enjoy anything more difficult than barbie's dream castle on the wii, which is why they do the stupid things you observed.

Stupid is as stupid does

Anything to win the 'WARZ 25 perks reward'.
What I don't get is that they can obtain 25 perks in 30 minutes flying around shooting at stuff.
Why they think it's worth while is beyond me.

Where there's a will there's a way, not that hard if you think about it.  Log in during prime time play for a few hours, switch countries, play for a little while longer then go to bed.  Wake up go to work/school by the time you get home it's been 12+ hours, switch back. 

The correct way to combat it is to report it to HTC, not bring it to the boards.  Film or even a .report may do the trick, I obviously don't know the data they can look at, but I imagine it's quite extensive, outside of 3rd party programs I'm pretty sure they can see exactly what's going on if they have a playerID and time stamp to reference.

[Melvin]

Why can't people get it through their heads that having a longer time between side switches does nothing to combat spying?


Has nobody else ever heard of the telephone, e-mail, smoke signals and Vent or Teamspeak et al?

Not to mention cross country chat.   

Gamers gonna game. That's the way it is... for now.

friendly wouldn't engage? maybe he was low on fuel or needed to take a dump. maybe he didn't see the con. who knows.

Meh.  Film.  Email.  Nothing productive comes from other players going all torch and pitchfork on people.

Then the other day one of the knight bases was flashing and a friendly was there but the base just kept flashing and flashing. So I head over there with some eggs. When our friendly sees me he turns quickly to spray the gv tearing up the town. He had been playing watch dog for the tank while the tank was killing the town. The next day that same guy was back to his country.

Then tonight I come on and both cv's in the south were lined up almost perfectly with each other and both had been sunk. Apparently near the same time. Some Rook had come over to line them up is my guess.

Then later a friendly ups flies over an enemy cv and says nothing. He then proceeds towards me. A con ups at the base by us and he doesn't engage. I empty all my bombs in my b17 and rtb. The friendly doesn't keep up while the con heads to the base I'm returning to. I think slow plane. Nope after flying 2 sectors he finally catches up even though he was in vis range the whole time. He was in a 190D. A very fast plane. He doesn't engage the con and just lands.

I agree with zack1234.

[4deck]

I have to admit that there are some people in this game, and I wont mention names, that really are just jerks.

Ive had a few situations, where I've been rtb'n out of ammo, plane banged up, and they have to follow you home to kill you. Lately I've been allowing kills to go home. Actually I damage an enemy plan to the point where they longer a threat, and allow them to rtb. Im getting into the wing wave thing. Maybe lead by example, and it might catch on. Who knows.

I can say this though, its a responsibility of squads out there to teach their members etiquit. Some squads just dont get it.

Yes, those crusty old farts would never try to game the game, or take it to seriously, nevers!
