Some ideas? (rev1)

[AAIK]

Here is a short list of things which came to mind. If anyone can groove with them and modify/add on to the list, go for it. If you don't like, give it a thumbs down.

-DX12

-Add AH3 to Windows marketplace

-Advertise on popular youtuber channels

-Allow free, low player arenas without subscriber creation

-Joystick/hardware donation pool

-Phone/pad client

-Simplify map creation tool (make it as easy to pick up as mspaint)

-Built in mp3 track playing via in-game playlist

-Perk point marketplace (unique skins/insignias)

-Remove training arena and set aside space on running maps for training

-Skin pack installer, which inlcudes all the free skins

-Aces High Launcher which includes discussion, screenshots, artwork, streams and videos by players (like steam)

-Map icon for twin engine planes

-Field number called out when under attack

-3D stereoscopic option (not VR only)

-Option for higher quality sound codec for voice comms in-game.

not bad, some good mainstream stuff there.

DX12 not a chance.  HTC had noted in the past that they saw no advantage in anything beyond dx9.

This is just to be part of the 'new' game crowd. There is a club of DX12 games out atm. If it doesn't really bring the game down performance, either, then it shouldn't be a problem.

Market penetration.  DX12 only runs on Windows 10.  DX11 runs on everything from Windows 7, and up, including 10.

There are a couple of things, on that list, already done.

-Allow free, low player arenas without subscriber creation
-Skin pack installer, which inlcudes all the free skins

Oh, I thought that it needed a subscriber to make the free arena? I guess I misheard.

To create an arena, you have to be a subscriber, but we have added an open arena for anyone to play "match play" in.  It is 100% free.

Any arena in the "Free" tab is free.

We need to get the word out about that.

That isn't stopping the DX12 idea since you could build another exe for DX12 like you do for DX9 and DX11, up to the user to have the setup.

Let's fix 9 and 11 first.  No?

I dunno, Its just an idea. I don't understand the implementation required. Just sounded good to be on top of things. Its like graphics, the higher the calibre the better the impression; stamp of approval sort of thing.

Agreed.   But with the issues in 9 and 11 still being tweaked......and that being the main base of consumers....

It is not that simple.  The graphic pipeline in DX12 is different from DX11 which is different from DX9.

there's no need for a hardware donation pool.  lots of us have already donated lots of stuff.  as for a training arena in the current map, that would require the all the maps to be redone and one country is going to be shortchanged.  in addition to people flying into it to avoid getting killed.
