Bugs and Cheats
« on: March 08, 2012, 12:00:18 PM »
Hello Hitech!

Just to let you know, I've just about had enough of this game and I'm close to cancelling my subscription.  Talking to others in my Squad, I'm not the only one and I already notice players who have played for a long time are either logging in less or quitting.

The game has too many bugs.  Tanks that bounce off trees and turn over is one of my pet hates.

Planes are not modelled correctly.  Examples include the Spit 9 which even carries the wrong engine and the P51D which is so OP is it rediculous.

Field guns and wirbles for me fire 99% rubber bullets.  On occasion, even firing at a plance at 200 yards gives zero hits.

The scoring system is a mess.  It does not lead to good team/country play and leads people to mass personal score instead of playing for the game objectives.  Ground kills for fighters are shown as if they are plane kills which completely distorts the figher rankings.  Why not separate out all ground kills as an Attack score instead?

This game has way too many cheats.  I have no idea how they do it (or for that matter why), but you seem to have no way of stopping them.  I see planes warp all over the skies when they are being attacked, yet have no issues when they are attacking.  Tanks that take 15+ hits and don't die.  Tanks that can fire through tree and even hills.

To see the difference between water and land needs two settings turned on that then produce high latency.  It should surely be possible to see the ground as one colour and the sea as another without needing these Detail settings switched on.

So, what's it to be?  Are you going to make any commitments at all to fix all of these problems, and if so when?

Of most of the things you mentioned I have had no issues. I avoid trees so don't bounce off and flip. I have had many rounds bounce off, as well as many that have been one shot kills. If you have any data to back up your claims of the plane models send them in. HTC has always been willing to listen

Yes the scoring system leaves much to desire, but why should it be twisted to promote team play. Not every one plays as a team and there is nothing wrong with that.

At this point with 4 post to your credit all you are doing is coming off as a cry baby.

Hey I'm not having as much success in the game as I'd like.  Cheaters and the game developers must surely be the cause.

OK, sarcasm aside...  I'm still waiting on a reply for this little instance of possible cheating.  AHfilm file was sent in along with what we were seeing on radar.  It took me a few mins to get fraps running in game but the film recorder had been running at takeoff so we know who it was, and we know that the red dot that keeps disappearing is at 20k feet.

Film here:

You refuse to learn the game mechanics and expect to become an "ace" in one day? You get better by learning and watching, not by ranting.

When you get mad, take a break, then come back and watch the film. See what you did wrong. Did you turn when you weren't supposed to? Did you fall for a rope? Overshot?

Go to the Help section and ask for a trainer to help you.

You're new to this game, no? What'd you expect? To be rank 1 in 1 week? Years of practice, and even then there are guys that flown for years and still haven't reached their full potential.

  the game is concentrated on combat, not on shaking the screen.

   I hit a tank the other day 6 times at point blank range and no damage....................... ....then remembered I was firing HE.  :uhoh
   This game is fun and like any good game frustrating at times. Go play MW2 for awile until you get bored doing the same thing over and over.
   Score is a rough measuring stick not a calibrated instrument. You can still knock fighters out of the sky no matter what thier score is.
   Connecting hundreds of Computers over vast and different networks with split second timing is no small task and salute  :salute HTC for making it possible. They are proactive at fixing problems when presented in a respectible way.

Ground kills for fighters are shown as if they are plane kills which completely distorts the figher rankings.  Why not separate out all ground kills as an Attack score instead?

That is already true,  If you kill a GV while in fighter mode it doesn't effect your stats.  It doesn't add a kill.  Only when you are in attack does it add kills of GVs to your score.
