How Chuwie ruined the game today

[BaldEagl]

Waystin you are a peculiar kind of insanity and have infected your followers.

You logon, count piggy noses, and check the map for the bigggest red dar you can get at. Then you announce a feild and runway heading with, bring your favorite hoard killer. And all the good littel piggys up behind you to go munch on a helpless hoard of red guys. Or you are always picking fights with hoards so we piggys can be alone with them by having us smash all of their toys away from our hoards of green guys. This always gets us a hoard of uppers to fight with. 12 versus 30 is good numbers if you are one of the 12 piggys. Or you have a 9th piggy sense and always know which field to up from just before the NOE drops the helpless hoard in our laps.

Piggys always seem to have someone trying to shoot our collective bums which turns them into targets of opportunity. So Waystin....you have any problem finding or picking fights in the MA?? Even at 25k lately.....

Funny.  I've always experienced POTW as among the worst of the horde squads.  It's always more like 30 pigs on two defenders.  Very bold.

It's good to read this.  I remember early on when the PoTW were the latest 'we've got it all figured out, we're the bestest' new squad.  It was most definitely not the case then

I remember getting into one of those discussions on 200 with one of the guys who was part of the PoTW horde and seeing him justify it to no end.  Thankfully as usually happens, a squad that survives those growing pains,  figures it out and gets down to having fun again

Because of dwindling numbers in Aces High the powers that be have decided to add some spice to the games for you
the Hoard is in fact AIpilots
Hitech used the flight modelling from the previous failed games updates to create vTards ( wich actually stands for virtual Targets..)
so lets thank HiTech and go club some vSeals..

Dang it!  I missed this?

I love this part of the game.

I love the one on ones.

I love getting bounced by overwhelming odds.

I love the High altitude bomber chases.

Plenty to do in this game, take your pick.

that's because we already killed the rest.

at one point in aces high you had to capture the next designated base and not any other.

It was pulled out, but I wish it came back. At least we would know where to defend and not play whack a mole all the time....

Your stinky bait is weak.  We hunt red dar, without the accompanying green dar.  Further, we have not had 30 swine online EVER.  The record is 26, and that was over 2 years ago.  So, you are talking without actually knowing what you are talking about.  Troll meter reads: WEAK.

Ah who cares what this Bish thinks  hes probably too busy bailing out of  busted NOE's to know  whats really going on anyway.  We Pigs know better and most people  we fight against know better, sure sometimes 8 of us up and  shelack a base but  we never noe  and  never are we  organized  enough to roll 30 deep, and I think most people that matter know that.

Howdy all,

In anticipation of purchasing my new computer system this month (something that will hopefully be able to maintain playable frame rates in Aces High), I've been checking in on the forum again.

These frequent threads about the continued whack-a-mole horde gameplay sure don't make one very excited about rejoining AH though.

I saw the thread about the LTARs disbanding.  And it looks like a good number of the Loose Deuce squadron have also left the game. 

Have the overall numbers dwindled some over the past year?

Have the overall numbers dwindled some over the past year?

Player numbers have been quite stable over last 12 months as far as I can see, with highs and lows depending on season.

Interestingly, the LTAR's disbandmend doesn't reflect the popularity of the ground game, it's more popular than ever.  


Believe it or not... first quarter 2012 was the first time ever in AH in which the share of  air to air kills went below 50%!

  Just thinking about the amount of research you do into the stats makes my head hurt Lusche  . I love the fact that you are so into the stats and are willing to create the graphs and charts you share with the rest of us.

It's mostly griefers posting the demise of players, the game and society as a whole.  Don't worry, the game is still a blast to play and many many people love it.

I agree that the opinion you may form after reading these forums would not be positive.  I think it shows that more folks would rather complain about and covet what they do not have than say something positive.  Truly that.  People are more likely to complain that compliment.  I think those who love the game are the silent majority, not minority.

That makes me sad.

Hmmm...

Does % of ground kills v.s air kills accurately reflect the "popularity of the ground game"?  Seems to me that could simply be more 100+ kill spawn camps taking place and inflating the number of ground kills, rather than a larger number of players suddenly playing on the ground. 

What says the "Snail o' stats" on number of players getting kills on the ground compared to the number of players getting kills in the air?  Has that changed?

My impression of the LTARs were a group (and a good one) focussed more on ORGANIZED ground play (coordinated ground attacks and base defense) rather than spawn camping/fighting for kills.  I see their disbanding as possibly more of a reflection on THAT (organized) type of game play rather than the popularity of GV fighting in general.  I guess that makes sense if the hordes are making a base defense style of play pointless.

Might more kills taking place on the ground also be negative a commentary on the game play in the air?

I'm not trying to be negative here.  I am still looking forward to playing AH again at some point.  I guess what I read here is simply making me less excited about it.

Thanks for the feedback.

You really are getting wise in your old age Zoney.
