gameplay

Graphics did not change the fact for the people 'been there, done that'


Sorry if I may sound harsh sometimes, but I'm just telling things like they are.

Nope. Gameplay improved the first month or two after the upgrade and AH-lll started pulling in 200+ nightly into the main arena. If the numbers improve the game play improves, thats like the E=Mc2 of Internet gaming.

I know FSO is a tradition and I'm not suggesting anything but for a noob to see 100+ players go <poof> on an exciting Fri. night is a downer. Hell, its a downer even for a long time player. And like all the PPM MMOGs that are left most of Aces High are long time players probably more interested in staying to maintain their long time squad friend ships and have little interest in training new people or even bringing them into their squads.

Sorry but thats the truth, at the least my observation. Compared to the game at its height there is almost zero training and squad recruitment effort for new players. Ergo less recruitment and retention. Ergo worse game play.

Actual "missions", like with the mission thingy (restricted plane set etc), or just a large group taking a base and saying "what's next".  Seen a lot of the latter, not so much the former..

Actual Posted Missions... I have to admit that it had been a while since I last saw that happening

Working on it. ;) I miss the unique missions we used to put up, especially the underdog "hangar queen" fun sorties..  Dusting off the Hurricane Mk-1's, Stukas, P40's, stuff like that. Used to post a lot of that in AH2, and it was a total BLAST, no matter the outcome.  :aok :aok

Well....I have been seeing some missions set up, and it seems the Purple Hearts Squad is always interested in new squaddies, did see a Brewster mission last night, have felt particularly lucky lately and have had some very fun 1 on 1's.....although I also miss the fun fights in  the Mid War arena.....I  miss the more numerous players too....but still find plenty of fun action (usually).
