Fun as watching grass grow

Not all the answers, but we can see what doesn't work.

Until you know what works better all you got is whine.

[Arlo]

My money is too precious.  I am also in a Squadron that stays mostly Rook.   So that won't work.

Then your whole squad doesn't get it.

In Warbirds we switched for balance all the time. 

And here you don't?

I pay for several accounts, some for people that cant afford it, 2 of my own.... most of the time I don't even use my shade, I just keep it to help
support the game. call me what you like, it is what it is.... the point is that we have a 2 sided arena which hardly no one uses. then we have people with this inane loyalty to a chess
piece. I think it would be more fun for them, if they just went to the lowest side. that's what I do.

because the side switching is so long, I don't really blame them for getting all cranky, but I certainly to wouldn't squawk about it,
id do something about it.

I also hope more people dig into the AvA arena. It helps your game so much and is very realistic, but the maps are smaller, bases are closer together, and radar always works. Its a blast when 4 > people are fighting in there!

Apparently, you aren't.

But here's some advice, whether you 'ignore' it or not. When posting on the forum about a 'problem' - try being part of the answer. You've been given some good advice (for you and your squaddies both). You not wanting to follow it doesn't mean that players aren't part of both the problem and the answer.

Yes, there was a *reason* for ENY.


Edit - wait, you can't follow advice and be part of the answer in a game you don't play.

AvA Dev Team is starting to pump more ideas out. Thursday night tank wars are awesome(especially with winter terrain and skins). Monday there is a thing going on with air starts and bombers with escorts.

We are working on an idea to bring back the old school AvA wars but ran as like campaigns with battles and objectives.

No Arlo, no.  Go piss into the wind, you'll get farther.

That's not superman's cape (though I bet he thinks it is).

Yeah I'm just not a big tank guy. I'm all about the air combat in AH, so I'm just kind of confused why you guys push the tank combat so much in a airplane game. However, I suppose its working and I don't see why having one tank night is a problem. But the fighter aspect to the arena is very fun IMO and I enjoy setting up attacks on players with no icons. It really gives you a perspective on how open you have to be with SA even when the dots are present on the maps at all times.

The only way more people are going to attempt to enter the arena is if  there are 4 or more people in the arena when people look at the clipboards to choose a fight. If I see more than 4 people in there I'll check it out to see if any are in the air flying. Then more people might join in from the confidence of the #s in the arena. I like the realistic fighter setups you guys have. I don't really think much needs to be changed honestly, it just needs 4> people in there at all times to maybe spark an interest for people to try it knowing there are already people in there willing to fight.

Maybe you could promote a fighter night much like you do a tank night on the main BB here and hopefully more peeps will check it out.

- Remove the 12 hour side switch rule, which AH won't budge on.

- Allow Air Starts around HQ, even if you perked it.

When they put into place the 12 hour it had an almost immediate, negative impact on numbers. It has not killed AH, though it has impacted it. With the Air Starts, it is way to easy for one set of buffs to take down radar. I logged in a couple weeks back, within 15 minutes the fights all but dried up as radar went down. Then I spent the next 15-20 minutes in a C-47 being a good team player, hauling supplies to HQ. Radar goes up, 10 minutes later I have to log for family reasons. In about an hour in game I had one little fight at the beginning, the rest was zilch. The problem is way too many are having a similar experience frequently.

Again, AH seems to be putting all of their eggs into AH3. Let's hope they are right though the market says otherwise. I've also given up hope that AH reads these boards for ideas. I think they just troll them to ban #4 violations. In any case, I'll keep paying my $14.95 a month and playing a few times a month in the hopes of....

Time will tell.

Vote with your wallet.  It is the only thing they will hear.  Just reward them when they respond positively by coming back.

Now there I would be interested on the data you based this upon.

[Arlo]

Vraciu, you come to the game for a couple of years, beech and moan the entire time you had an active account, quit the game, come back to the forum regularly without anything positive to say and now you are trying to talk others into quitting (under the impression that such loss of income will help the developers improve the game?)

Yeah, yeah yeah .... 'on ignore.'

If anyone deserves the ban hammer, you do.

Arlo,

He's learning from watching television. This is his version of pulling a Baltimore on Hitech. No gimmi what I want, no peace. In this post he is trying out community organizing with a walkout like we players are unionized.

Didn't you notice some occupy wallstreet flavor to the insurrection that tried to happen in these forums a few years back? So Hitech pulled a Giuliani on them.

His revenge on Hitech looks like he wants to assist the easy to stampede to leave the game because Hitech won't give him what he wants. That didn't work out very well when Hitech went Giuliani on the group who tried it last time. So far Vraciu has managed to only dance on the line they crossed like a blitzkrieg.

So what got you involved finally?
