im sorry to say this but having played aches high for a long time now i feel i owe you one but on the other hand  we pay you a subsciption so i feel i can have a say..
Well i cant belive the quality of service latley.. there ive said it..
not only have people been leaving in droves . but the server crashes,we're locked out of the game . game play is becomeing arcade (with flashing icons and such) and now ive spent 2 hours nearly trying to play special event which crashed twice..
please bring back 1.08 untill you have sorted out the bugs please other companys let beta testers play free..
Big tip ditch voice till it works or at least let people have the choice to dump the thing..
:mad:

sorry i dont usualy speek out but you;ve made me mad

Becoming like arcade because of flashing icons? In many respects, the MA has already been an arcade environment and people keep wanting more of it. Flashing icons don't really bother me one way or the other. I am here for the flying and don't really worry about strat or anything else added to make playing strat easier.

Generally, I am happiest just flying HtH in a good room. However I am a paying subscriber so I can help fund further developement and enjoy the CT.

The server problem is being solved as fast as possible.

As for other companies allowing beta for free, WB3 is in paid production and it is very much still an ongoing beta. AH allows you to play everything but arenas for free. It only takes AH a few days to level out the bugs from a new release, I am willing to put up with that in order to help develop the game further.

I don't see people leaving in droves... I see people flocking to the best online flight sim.

I'm sure the reason they upped the limit in main to 550 was because of the sudden dropoff in usage.

People leaving in droves?


Damn, the thread below this is titled "numbers in the MA, too many?".


I mean, make your minds up.

Nothing arcade about flashing icons... they represent some guy who is stationed at that base letting his fellow countrymen know the base is under attack.  No a player shouldn't be doing that.  We can't be expected to sit in all bases waiting to get on the radio and then tell people the base is under attack.

In reality these bases wouldn't be deserted because a pilot isn't there...  I mean some Texan has to sweep the floors....

Server probs I have to agree with you.

no way to disable AH Voice, I AGREE with you 100%

The rest of 1.09... I've seen worse releases of AH.  They get solved VERY fast (a patch within 2 days already!+)

I like 1.09 so far.

Now I just hope HTC can give us monthly vehicle updates because I won't pay to wait 6 months for the next update, i get bored long before then.

ON AH Voice, I have to agree...Kill it PLEASE!
If I'm anywhere near a furball, I take system hits with EVERY voice reception.
The quality of sound SUCKS!  Half the time, I can not understand the guys I have been talking to clearly on Roger Wilco for the past 3 years.

As to the Server SNAFU.
DAMNIT, I started complaining about this problem when HTC left Applink.  There was a point when I noticed minor improvements, that made it possible for me to adjust, but since 1.09 hit, I can't survive a fight because of the massive warps!

This is just plain bad business.

If the ISP can't handle it, then change to an ISP that can.
If there is no ISP that can, then the limits need to be lowered.
I mean, what the hell is the use in having a 550 limit when the thing crashes with 450 people in it.

lol i been gone for over 2 months and stayed subscribed the whole time.  when 1.09 came out I couldnt stand it any longer and bought an isp and a phone line modem and got online immediately and played the game for 8 hours straight.


yeah HTC watch out or i will leave and go to the betty ford clinic for ahaholics anonymous!


HTC's service is best in the world
of any company I've ever seen not just online ones.
there just is not a comparison with them and anyone else.

as for the server, skuzzy is gonna be hosting the MA as soon as he gets the hardware for it so I dont mind the less than awsome conx knowing a solution is being worked on.
