Tonight summed it up for me

[Copprhed]

I'm not sure how you got that out of what I typed in response to you but, I'm quite certain that I truly don't care if you like what I like. Im also fairly certain (correct me I'm wrong Coppr) that Coppr doesn't care either.  You see, I'm not the one that comes here complaining about the game. I actually enjoy it, and the day I come here stomping my feet and complaining like a petulant child is the day I'll stop playing. I can assure you though that the latter will never happen, as I have real world things that I worry about, not an online game. In a nutshell,  I was just trying to point out that your opinion means nothing....just like mine doesn't. We're going to play the game how we are going to play the game....and get out of it what we will. The game is what it is, and if it is frustrating someone that much, maybe it's time to step away.....but like many, we won't be gone long.....this damn game sticks its claws Into you and your done.

Still not sure about the Hello Kitty answer, but whatever

(None of this is pointed at you Fess) I'm glad to see you on in the mornings (my time) 

I agree with you, Bailey. I love a GOOD whiteknuckle turn fight more than anything else about this game. It is why I came here from FA, and what I loved about that game. Ask Cheech, Barkhorn, Zacherov, Dolby or many other players. If I get a good fight, I will PM them and tell them I enjoyed the fight and give them a salute. If they're flying a 51D and do nothing but climb out and come back for the Ho, or just run away til they think I'm not paying attention, I call them on that too. That's not a fight, but it IS their money and they can play the way they see fit. I just have a low opinion of it, to which I am entitled. I have spent a lot of hours dogfghting in the MA and DA against players that give me good fights, many of which I lose. Ask my opponents, I am thrilled for the fight, and I do my best to learn from my losses. I, also, found that those player who like an actual fight have decreased, while the number of high ENY runners have increased, at least in my perception. That is why I decided to learn GVs and I'm very glad I did. It's fun, I get killed a lot, but it's like golf, you get so mad at the game you want to throw your clubs in the lake and never play again. Then comes that one exceptional shot, and you're in love again......

[Copprhed]

.... and your doing the same thing by telling people to grow up and play other aspects of the game. You spend all your time berating players here on the boards because they wont play other aspects, instead of accepting the fact there are players who don't like doing it.

No, Fugi, I'm berating players for whining, pure and simple. I don't care about how they play, it's THEIR CHOICE. The point is, if YOU CHOOSE to play a certain way, and others don't care to, DON'T come in here and WHINE about it. Change or quit, it's the only options, because most other players aren't going to say "OH! so and so doesn't like it that I play the way I want to! I guess I'll change so it will make them happy!" Frankly I'll be damned if I'd do that!

[pembquist]

Well, I don't care what you monkeys think MILLAGING is a fantastic word, even if its not in the dictionary.


Also, where exactly can I get my hands on Hello Kitty Island Adventure? Dare I hope there is a HKIA 2 or 3? I wait with anxiety your reply.

[Zoney]

ACES HIGH my ass.  The game is not living up to the title

Pfffffffffttttttttttt   I definitely live up to the game.  I have thought about throwing my 2 cents in on this but I soon realized that nothing good can come from this.

[bustr]

It cycles around from time to time since I started in 2002. Less frequently now than in years past.

We are all bad people and will kill this game because we won't feed ourselves to the ACM only players. And if you faithfully do this, your 10,000 deaths or so to make them happy will make you an ACM skilled player too.....

And the only sentiment to the majority not wanting too. It's all their fault the person posting is unhappy with the game.

The muppets for a while dumped on everyone over this. All of us who were not dedicated to the DA way of AH air combat were going to kill the game by being skill less dweebs. I think at the height of this sentiment we had 500-600 player nights while gigantic hoards ruled the MA. And the problem with our terrains now that 250 players is a large numbers night.

Things are too far apart for the time invested getting places versus self gratification equation. 

[VuduVee]

im glad to see some people here agree with what i said in another post.  when have to you fly 10 mins to a fight because the hand sock squad is ganging the crap out of the end of the runway for kills and not for fights or a base take or when a suicide defender can ho ram and be back up in 10 secs while you have to fly another 10 mins, it makes me say to hell with it, they can have this damn game and kill it.

Berating players for whining is the same as berating players for not playing the right way. Your way works for you, not so much the OP and many others.

I do a bit of everything in here. Air sea, and ground, Im not very good at any of them but I have fun. Must be as I have been giving HTC my money for a dozen years and no one else. But just because Im not one of the guys that only like one thing, I can still see their points. I have seen many players leave this game because the lack of fights. I have also seen many players who never seem to progress beyond the general play we have in the game today (NOE, lawndarting, vulch fests, bomb and bail all those things that avoid any fighting) leave in droves due to boredom. The Bops, Vtards, and many other squads who specialized in this type of play, all gone.

Times change, so do players. I think the point people are trying to make here is the game MUST change as well.

[DmonSlyr]

Look, I guess I came off a bit rash.

I really do like the fact that there are tanks in the game.

It brings a bigger picture to the game.

I'd even be down to one day allow people to to make ground troops and fight in the towns as a FPS, so it brings every aspect of a war.

I simply just don't enjoy fighting tanks. I play this game for the flight model and the competition of flying WW2 planes.

As the population decreases tanks become more prevelant and noticeable. I personally would rather have more airplanes to shoot at than tanks to plunk at.

Idk. I just really enjoy the furballs. The strategy to fighting a big hoard or getting tangled up and winning against the odds. It's to me, way more thrilling to have fighter combat than slow tank warfare.

When the fight dies and the base taking gets stale, or you have 25 min to play, my goal is to find or create air combat.

For it just bums me out when everyone is in TT rather than creating big fights stratigically in different areas of the map.

This is my experience, not a critique.  I usually have time to play in the AM Eastern time US.  I log on and look at the map.  If their is any kind of air to air combat

with more then 3 aircraft I'll log on and join the fight.  Usually by the time I get there the fight is over.  Now at this time anywhere from 50 to 65 players is usually normal.

I don't know how many are GV'ing and don't care.  It's their dime.  I'll usually log off and get into doing something else.  Maybe I'll log on later to check again.  If the

results are the same I'll log off again.  I surmise that the low numbers in our scenarios is a result of most not liking air to air combat.  Scenarios numbers were quite large usually.

Pity.  It's why I joined the MMOG virtual WWII combat experience years ago.  I'm just not into  spawning and camping.  Remember though I advocate doing what you wish.

Dude, if the game was called Deep Space 9, it would have to live up to you.

Like minded people will most times search one another out...

first thing I do when I log into the game is open the Lobby and type .sr<enter> to see if any squadmates are on

if none are on, next thing I will do is type in a few to several .f<gameid><enter> , to check and see if any of the players I normally fly with are online............

If none are online, I will see if there is any special events happening, or go to the AvsA if it is showing players in there on the counter....................or just head over to the DA and find someone to practice with......

I can understand the early morning EST crew/participants....... they seem to have it the worse of all other time slots......

 after reading all this is only One thing I have to say.....















Merry Christmas.... May you all have a blessed Christmas with friends and family...  I don't get much time to play anymore but I will be on Christmas eve.... My son is in the military so I will be spending Christmas by myself.

[scott66]

No, they are not.

When "multifaceted" actually means "encounter resistance in air, switch to unmolested GV", it's harmful.

again...yes they are ..They may not be fun for you but that is just a matter of personal preference and opinion
