Gave It a Go, But Gotta Go

[thndregg]

I have had serious difficulty sticking with AH3 for quite a while after giving it some effort since last July. Lots of things are happening in real life, and a lot has happened that has changed my perception and opinion of the game, which has ultimately caused me to become very disinterested.

Without going into the rehash of details, I will just say that Aces High 2 (back in the day) was where it was at for me in my particular niche of heavy bombing with my group and the large community of knowledgeable and patient folks I associated with (friends and foes alike  <S> ).

So, I just thought I'd throw it out there that, while certain aspects were fun, there is just not enough of a draw to make me stick with it. I've always felt that there was something that was "tinkered" right out of the game that we had before.

So, to those folks I've known, fought with and against, thanks for the good times.

With all due respect the game hasn't changed.  The people playing the game now have changed.  The game itself offers the same opportunities, even more so since the addition of more aircraft, vehicles etc.

It's not the game, it's the people.

I will agree.

The game has changed, too. For example, the huge strat complex and large maps have gone, which did in fact had a very immediate and notable impact on gameplay opportunities. Or the destruction of what we used to call "tank towns", that's also not something caused by players but game design. Or the fact that you simply can't run any variety of missions when there are simply not enough players online.

There are not the same opportunities there anymore, and it's just not all because of the different players.

Why do you think I keep changing terrain configurations as I learn more about how the "current people" utilize the resources? I have some concern over the strat and HQ not really being a prime target as much as before but, it's the "how" of attracting the current people to want to attack something. This game is not the game of 10 years ago nor are the players. And nor do the ideas of ten years ago resonate with the players of today when it comes to terrain building. It's a different laboratory I'm experimenting in from our glory days of a decade ago. We no longer have the numbers today of holdovers from our glory days to make the arena work like then. And some of them don't seem willing to let go of the past and build a present.

Before you go- have you flown in a scenario, or FSO?

Ages ago in AH2, yes. I believe the Schweinfurt raid was one of them. It's been a while.

Could use a heavy driver!

Sorry to hear this.  I hope someday you will return.
