In the game, there has to be more monitoring.

No... there does not.  AH is already one of the most nannified games around, and you want more of these hidden HTC sycophants running around?  No, they create more problems than they're solve.

I'd be ok with no channel rules if they'd give us the tools to squelch whatever we want for as long as we want.  As it stands now we don't have those tools, the tools on 200 are bigger and more prolific.

"Bullying" in an online game is going to happen.  Trying to moderate the way people treat each other is an exercise in futility IMO.

Totally agree regarding Futility.

IMO, if HTC would cough up the dough and have a paying "moderator" position.... stick a badge on them and utilize PRESENCE as opposed to the cowardly hidey crap Mods have now, they might become a useful entity in-game.  As it stands, they're like a useless yet harassing version of speed-trap cops.

Nannying refers to treating adults like children. Aces High expects players to act like adults.

I realize there is some confusion about what constitutes adult behavior since the word "adult" is also used to mean "not suitable for children".  When you consider adulthood as mature self-control then you can see how it applies to players of all ages.

Well put FLS.

This is what I would consider an unrealistic expectation.

I don't speak for HTC, that's just my interpretation of the terms of service everyone agrees to abide by before they can play.

Spread the gospel and teach the noobs.

Yes, but we don't know how to get more people doing that and how to do it more effectively than it is being done currently.

As I said, by everyone taking responsibility and reporting those that cant seem to act like adults. Either they will get tired of being muted over and over again and change their behavior, or they will leave.

Kids have always gotten a "by". Players use to take the time so say... "easy on the radio, we don't need to hear everything that runs through your mind" or what ever other thing they did that is getting out of line. This is how they learn and it is up us to teach them.

Adults on the other hand sometime have a bit of a problem when they are hiding behind their computer. Be it alcohol or what ever some just get out of hand and even if you ask them to settle down they get get all puffed up in indignation. We can police the arenas just as well as a mod. Use the .report command

OK, but that doesn't solve how we get more people into recruiting or indicate how we get more traction on getting people over here from War Thunder, World of Warplanes, Il-2, etc.

There is a huge number of people playing those games.  It seems like there should be ways of getting some of them over here, but I don't know what would be effective in that regard.

....that's a stretch.

if we were to act as adults, we wouldnt be playing video games.  specially when you consider some of us have spent a good chunk of money to play to be pilots.

Jeez, you guys need to relax take a break or something. At the end of the day, throw a thousand posts with suggestions about what to do or not do...


I don't think a lot of the people complaining about the numbers (or lack thereof as the case may be) realize what a niche market this is comparatively.

Thats where getting the word out comes in. HTC needs to step up the info about the beta, and really ramp it up just before it's release. Picture the ads you see for movies. Even a crappy movie can have a good first weekend if the hype is built up enough.

Dolby should make a few short movies in the beta and post them. 30 seconds, lots of action. Once posted everyone else should "like", "repost", and "retweet" the link for those videos. Post links over at WarThunder and World of tanks. The more info that is thrown out there the more people that will stumble onto it.

AK-AK posts info over at "FlameWarriors" which Im sure keeps the old school guys up to date. The more the word gets out there the more people that will stop in and check it out. Once they stop in, a better more friendly atmosphere will help keep them.

Ask the thousands of players at Warthunder and World of tanks how much of a niche game these are.

FishBait, get that knife away from POTW. Unless you've flown on our squad vox, just assume you know nothing about us. Most of our mission, which we refer to as Pig mass....are normally only pigs and people hanging on our vox. This isn't because we don't like the Knights or something but we do understand the size of our squad with another 12-15 countrymen creates an unstoppable horde...one that isn't fun for either side...yea the land grabbers get a base but was the fight for it worth it???EDIT: (Have you ever seen a base with all of POTW and JG11 over it??? Awesome to see that much cohesion in an attack group but literally there ain't enough red guys to go around...we hungry!!! )

We run pig missions and Waystin posts here every Tuesday  "visitors are welcome, PM a pig in game for vox channel" not many visitors show up these days and don't stay for good...we have a good time and I know for at least my part...try to make it enjoyable for everyone too.

Way dyin gets mad because I steal all the kills, but for some reason always knows where I'm at and you guys all show up like a pack of ravenous pigs in wolf clothing
