I thought this thread was going to be about resupplying HQ.

You need to know what the 'ignore' feature was designed to help you do.

Bish did well yesterday with ENY issues they revenged 2 provoked attacks on their HQ. 

I couldn't really break into their mass b24 formations at 20k without getting hurt.  The second run even had experienced escorts that drove away most piecemeal attacks.  Even with advance warning and solid intel / advice they got through both times.  A good example of organised teamwork in the MA.  For those that are moaning about HQ's being dropped that is EXACTLY the way to show the handful of griefers that it won't be tolerated.   An eye for an eye.

I just wish I had some of my squaddies to provide a better challenge one against 20 gets old sometimes.

Gawsh, Bruv. In spite of Fugi tisking you, I think you're a good example to follow. Now if only we can get the angry and disturbed to do so instead of logging because the game's so hard and unfair.

[DREDIOCK]

Yes, but when a game feature drives away players it becomes counterproductive. 

 

True. But the logic they use for being driven away. Effectively stomping their feet because they cant play with their favorite toy for a little while seems childish at best.

But then again. We are dealing with mostly adults here.

I've coached groups of kids, and Ive supervised adults. I've often found the kids act more maturely then their parents  or adults as a whole

If you (anyone) are being driven away by ENY. The problem isnt the game. Its you.
There is what. A couple of different threads on getting better? And probably dozens of similar threads over the course of the forums history.

Really wanna know how to get better? Fly the planes that arent effected by ENY. Fly them till you can get kills in them. You dont have to become great in them. Just good enough to become semi consistent. Once you have done that. Then take all you have just learned and go back to the more uber rides and apply it and you will almost feel like you are in cheat mode.

20 eny, 2 sided war, and hq down for 3 hours....fun fun fun....not. Great way to spend $15 a month. Really don't think this game will get any better with AH3. Kinda wonder why numbers are dropping like flies

so back to the point..... I think that people should try stopping attacks on HQ, switch sides if ENY gets too bad, and just have fun in general. I think AH3 will be a big surprise to everyone but people need to just learn to find enjoyment and stop complaining about stupid things. you want to change it, get involved.

organize an attack in the MA
get involved with the AVA guys
join the FSO development team
Join the Tuesday night Race week

so much to do, so little time to do it!!

Ohh, well 49boob & Co just stirred up a fun fight, all good; revenge feels sweet; 

I believe OP is right, the game is dying slowly, this large maps stalled for 7 days and particularly this one, with HQ down 24/7 are the last nails in the coffin ; I check MA many times 60-80 players lost on this large map, what for to play, nothing fun;   
But this lowers my cholesterol , I spend less time sitting in front of computer; there's always something good hidden in bad ; maybe HTC cares about our health and made it less addictive

  I've just read article posted today in "Independent", about gaming and other .... addictions;
 
"Porn and video game addiction are leading to 'masculinity crisis', says Stanford prison experiment psychologist "
"A leading psychologist has warned that young men's brains are being 'digitally rewired' by unprecedented use of video games and pornography"

I must not be making myself clear.   

In any case, getting better in high ENY (inferior) planes isn't what I want to do.   Many feel the same as evidenced by how the fights completely dry up when ENY gets triggered.   Also, I am not a fan of having a low ENY ride and clubbing baby seals in their high ENY (inferior) planes.   It works both ways and neither are particularly gratifying.

Many a great fight has been squashed by ENY flare ups.   When numbers are low it has a devastating affect on gameplay to the benefit of nobody.

Over 100 different airframes to choose from, and people complain about not being able to use a handful of them.

Gawsh, Bruv. In spite of Fugi tisking you, I think you're a good example to follow. Now if only we can get the angry and disturbed to do so instead of logging because the game's so hard and unfair.

I wasn't "tisking" Bruv, I was tisking the attitude displayed by the bish. Just because some A hole drops your HQ the right thing to do isn't to go out of your way to spoil other players fun. So now because some dork ran out to piss off the bish and take out their HQ..... which I can do nothing about... I get to suffer to along with the rest of my country.

Like Bruv I too did my time flying cap. I have 9 kills in a Ta last night. Not all of them at HQ but a few of them. Once low on fuel (I took 100% and a drop) I would fly a few sectors over and drop in on a few guys IF I could find them. and die chasing others around on the deck. The hours I spent circling around NE of HQ were sooooooo much funnnnnnn! 

I would gladly announce to the other teams any time I saw some A hole heading for one of their HQ's but like the calling out of "hidden" carriers I'm sure Hitech would call this cheating and suspend my account. We get to suffer though childish behavior more and more. Gone are the days a foe had to FIGHT for what a single player can now do.

No glzsqd, no.  It's the end of the world when there is eny.  Didn't you know this?
