If your talking about my post, all I was pointing out was compare apples to apples. Saying a game is "massive" in numbers because it has a lot of numbers over a bunch of places isnt the same as the numbers AH pulls in it one main arena. 65 players in the sim arena is still less than AH100-110, and the scenario arena set for 128, does it ever come close to that number?
Im sure many players do defend AH because we love this game. But many come in here pushing other games but never fairly. Some are disgruntled with Aces High for one reason or another, others have their issues with HTC real or believed, so yes there is a lot of players "defending" here.
As for why AH doesnt keep bringing in numbers...... Im thinking not enough people know what AH has. You said players dumb down the graphics on those other games..... so its not the graphics here. My bet is they dont even bother to look. Too many negative posts about poor game play/graphics/and so on. All AH needs really is another 100 players on always. That would be 130-150 Euro prime time, 200-220 East coast prime time. Getting past all the negative post is the problem.
It won't launch until it has 128 players. It's the same for the 64 and 32 player games. It launches the fight when the needed number of players is met.
Right, but "defending" against somebody that is trying to help doesn't make sense to me. There is no perfect game. All have their plusses and minuses. I'm trying to help by offering constructive criticism based on what I've seen.
I agree with you about the graphics. I don't think the graphics are a big deal talking to others in games with "perdy planes" that can't see them because they don't have the hardware required to see them. It seems more common then not that they are playing on settings that would very limit what they could see.
As I've stated before I think the subscription is the thing that most can't get past. Let me give you an example. In one of those other games you earn these things call "convertible research points" These are points that can be used to upgrade your plane or used to buy newer higher level planes. Most people have millions of these CRP that they have never used. It's because using them would require a payment and lots of guys only play the game because it's free. I'm merely trying to point out stuff like this because of the massive numbers this payment model has. Most people won't pay for CRP but almost everyone there pays for "premium planes" I for one have bought many "premium planes" but have spent very little on CRP.
I'm sure this will stir up another poop storm but I am trying to help by pointing out things that I never knew and have recently learned to people who were probably in the same situation now as I was before.
