Each week, I will post what I feel is the most pathetic, self-centered, ignorant and childish whine.
The lucky winner of this distinction will recieve the recognition due them and without apology or sympathy on my part.
Here we go...this weeks winning Whine of the Week goes to LePaul for the following:
The ack seems to be incredibly accurate again, and I know my hrricaine got popped while evading through the hills. I suspect it was THRU the hill but since I didnt see the shot coming, I can only suspect. But from other attacks I've made on the cities, using our oragami IL-2, the ack is once again juiced. I can't put my finger on what's wrong, is it too large a caliber, or just too accurate...but the 1 ping deaths are vastly more persitent than ever.
Add to this the ground vehicles are screwed up, the M8 bounces everywhere and if a GV comes near a tree or touches the city, you die. So, the fun with GVs has pretty much ceased for me.
Plus these fluff'n trees. Getting a loaded bomber out of any of these bases is amazingly risky. I wouldn't mind the trees if they 1) Looked real, not like cartoonish 2-d paper cut outs (ala 'southpark' animation) or 2) if they were spaced apart. I mean, check your local airport, if there are trees in the flight path, down they go. I'm told the tree issue is going to be resolved but they still look awful. The Mindaiano terrain is gorgeous, to ruin it with these ugly trees is a real disservice. I'm no Picaso but can't we find something better than oragami~looking things?
Oh and the Pork Points.
Buffs bomb hangars, fields and such and get 1 perk point or so. Some fella in a fighter flies out and about, hammers a train (that doesnt shoot back) and gets gazillions of perks. That doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
And one further, I don't understand why all of these bugs slipped through. With all of us drooling for 1.08, I'm sure HTC had all kinds of beta testers to draw on. I'm just in awe (head banging on desk) with some of these bugs. No one noticed trees at the end of every runway? No one drove the M8 around and noticed it bounced all over the place? Maybe I'm being fussy since I work for a software firm and know what we go through to develop our product. I'm not going to be rude and suggest how HTC should develop their software, but from a customer stand point, my satisfaction has been effected. While I love the game overall, I really think a lot of these bugs could have been prevented. Maybe I'm overstepping my bounds, but I feel better having aired that.
Hopefully Patch 2 resolves a lot of the issues in this thread.
Anyone have a tissue?
