What would you do?

[Rob52240]

we do, it's the orange channel. I'd love to see some kind of mandatory course so that everyone came into the game knowing how to get off the ground and land, something about an hour or two to cover the basics. But I know thats asking a lot out of today generation. I don't think y son has looked at an instruction manual/video for a game he has bought in years. They don't do it, they just dive right in.

You give them too much credit by saying "it's asking a lot".  Parenting / education standards have made most of the millenial generation lazy as well as stupid.

When I was in high school I'd have to answer test questions like this one.
-Explain Einstein's theory of relativity.

Today, that same class in the same school would have to rephrase that test question.
-Can you explain Einstein's theory of relativity?  (Circle one)
     A)  YES.
     B)  NO.

Ten Years from now that question will be changed to.

If I was in command, I would dedicate ressources to make AH a competition-able game, because competition is what make online games last. Ask blizzard. And capcom.

For the new enlistees, it would make sense to encourage the use of the training arena, website and tutorials before jumping into the MA.

Something like this pops up, when they log in and attempt to go straight to late war:


Thank you for joining Aces High, the most exciting virtual combat experience online!
A word of caution: there are many aspects to this game that take considerable time to learn.  This is the real deal. 
Plane and vehicle physics are modeled as realistically as possible and some long time players have many years of experience with them. 
Don't be discouraged though, you can bring yourself up to speed much quicker by learning the basics.
The Aces High website (link) has a wealth of valuable information, including training and video tutorials to help you on your way.
Good luck and good hunting <S>

Go To Aces High? (link)

Go right to the action?

With such lack of details you are surely management material.

I'd make Fugitive one of "todays generation" as payback for all those posts about them.   

[JimmyD3]

In simplistic terms Fugi is taking about a paradigm shift. 

That works great in a big company, where pay scales, promotions and other incentives can be doled out by the powers that be, and is implemented by the Corporate Leadership. That also sets up fiefdoms, and localized conflicts amongst workers, belittles old ideas and old regimes.

Hopefully when the new AH III comes out, that will "force" a paradigm shift as well. While I have only been playing for about 2 1/2 years, the changes I have seen (each one) have instigated Tactic and Strategic shifts in the game, some minor some significant. The mind set will change to fit the environment. The successes and failures of our efforts dictate the direction we will go.

guess what I have been promoted recently and have one employee to manage now  What I had in mind is easier matchmaking, and maybe a drift away from the sandbox style game we experience in the MA. I have seen so many elite stick leave the game just because they couldn't test their skill often enough...

So, you would add a dueling arena? How novel.

No.  He would add a match making service (i.e. automated), not an "area" for 1v1 fighting.   In my opinion it would be an extention of the DA with some automated features to randomize match assignments based on specific variables selected, the key statistics, etc. But hey...it's just an idea....   

Speaking of which...how about either contributing one of your own or providing useful positive feedback for one suggested?   That would be so much better than your usual "Oh yeah...great idea.  AH already has that.  The game is perfect.  HTC are geniuses and can do no wrong." routine. 

Thanks.

Yes I do. But guess what, my wife keeps shelling out.  (BTW the kid is a she and She is a great kid!! )

now they are 2:1 , no more AH

No....but challenging EVERY suggestion made has no value.  And maybe you haven't challenged EVERY suggestion...but it's pretty close.

Just sayin'.
