Just curious, as I'm pretty burned out on the MA.
I'm not cancelling my subscription yet, but It may get to that point.
I'm curious as to how the subscriptions for AH are versus, say 12 months ago.
Higher? Lower?
What do you guys think?
BTW, I'm sold on WW2OL...
I'm going to D/L it tonight...
-
seriously tho muck....wwiiol isnt perfect. Its where I am at for now but you REALLY need to hook up with a squad.
banana already spoke of 66 commando where most of us WB/AH types hang out at.
-
Yeah muck, and no.66 Commando is a very diversified squad. We have liberals (webs, baxl) and Conservatives(cabby, LizKing) and everyone in between. It's a good melting pot of political idealism! :)
-
When I log in, I leave the politics at the door.
No. 66 Squad, huh?
I'll have to look you folks up.
-
If you want to join the squad, Muck, you have to do it from the player services on the WW2OL website. You'll need the squad registration key in order to join. You can get this from Dslick over on AGW. If you don't ever post on AGW and you want to join, I'll get the key for you and email it to you.
Just let me know.
-
Thanks, banana.
I'll give it a D/L tonight and see where I end up.
-
rgr that, good luck.

Well it's Game Over for me. Not that I'm tired of AH. I didn't get enough time to play it as much as I liked. No it's because last night my computer finally died. Motherboard I think. It needed updating anyhow. I couldn't run the Beta version of AH2 so it's days were numbered anyway. On top of which my credit card is fully loaded and the dreaded words 'payment declined' will even now be setting off alarm bells in Hitechcreations HQ. Of course that also means no new computer as I am broke.
Ah well I don't suppose I'll be missed except for the people who rarely missed me with their 50 cals in the main arena. :( (I should change my handle to 'Dead meat':rofl) It's very annoying to see a message where someone lands 5 kills and you were all of them.
I can check in here from time to time while in work but for the time being no one will see the message 'You shot down cpxxx' anywhere. So until the new computer arrives .............
-
Sheesh Muck, by now everyone knows you're burned out on AH. Just go for God's sake!
-
How could I leave such a wonderful community, populated by such warm and friendly people such as yourself?
Seriously, I'm not playing, but I'll hang in until AH2 and see how it goes.
-
Two weeks!
-
I am not a conservative, you twaddle, I am...well, I don't know what I am, but that ain't it!
-
banana,
Whats your email, I am interested in giving it a try again too. WOuld love to hook up with ya'll at 66 Commando too.

I think Im going on month No. 2 minus a paid subscription
Leaving AH1 high and dry for a whole year was not a smart idea from where I sit. After playing the 37 meg AH2 beta I was pretty
discombobulated, just didnt see an equivalent investment being made with AH2 as was subtracted from AH1. I kind of think Hitech has lost his interest in the genre. I didnt see anyone besides skuzz in the game in a couple of years. Thats why I wondered outloud, in my first locked thread, whether HTC was even running a full time shop with a full compliment of employees.
Just didnt seem like it.
Whats the next up and coming online combat flight sim anyway :aok
-
Well I've been pretty much playing 99% WW2OL 1% AH this year.
WW2OL has to be the biggest pile of programming doo-doo I've seen for a while BUT the gameplay is a big factor. The MA lost this some time ago for me.
However AH2 gives me hope, if you look past the immediate values of the beta and 6 months down the track I believe WW2OL might have competition (which I believe will be good for the WW2OL fans).
Look on the WW2OL forums, theres just as many burn't out players there too.
One thing WW2OL does do is make you appreciate HTCs ability ;)
p.s. if you play Axis look me up, I fight with 3rd Panzergruppe.
-
Kept the sub running, but have barely flown...and hour here or there for quite a few months now....I unfortunately can't even really remember the last real good update, (but still hope for the big one with the beaufighter)
Have seriously considered going and giving WW2OL another go with old bunch of WB squaddies reforming the RNZAF there...

Why would subscriptions matter to you? If you enjoy it, play it.....if not, don't.
-
I completely disagree...but then I usually do.
BTW, yes it is blue...otherwise it would be yellow.
And please remember that the firehose is located in the front of the building.

I'm just trying to figure out if it's just me getting tired of a game I've been playing for a while, or if other people are feeling the same way, and maybe the game itself is just long in the tooth.
-
long tooth..
the way AH2 looks is kikk asssss
-
I have not played in months.
Still paying for my handle and support i guess.
-
My moboard fried 2 weeks ago and took my GF3 and modem along for the ride...I have been sans AH ever since. It's a 3 hour round trip to Fry's to get a new one. :mad:

Bodhi, my work email is jdahlen@us.ibm.com.
But if you want a quicker way to join No.66 Commandos, just hop over to AGW and make a thread addressed to Dslick or No.66 Commandos. Dslick is the CO, and has the squad registration key.
Lizking, sorry man. I *thought* you were more conservative, but I seem to have miscalculated. Apologies from me to you.

Sigh, I wish CRS could learn some netcode skillz from HTC.
Last night was flying over Le Toilet (west side of map)... well Axis call it Le Toilet. I was closing in on a Spit V, because of the dead 6 issues I like to get in real close, so I was 50 yards off this guys 6 and he lagged, lagging in WW2OL isn't like AH, in WW2OL they insta-stop for a brief moment. BAM I end up colliding with him (of course he doesn't see the collision and keeps on flying).
Then theres all the invisible ETs at the moment (appears to be happening to both sides, but so far only Axis players have screenshoots of it).
And the game really needs a structural damage model. Its kind of fun strafing a Stuart then accidentally hitting the deck, belly landing, hitting G as quick as you can, then taking off (hoping like mad the stuart gunner doesn't spot your 109 on the ground). But it is kind of cheesy.
And next time I hear a WW2OL groupie scream "ww2ol is superior because it doesn't use a hit point based DM" I'm gonna strangle him. Because theres no hit points theres no cumulative damage system, ie if your 1st 50mm AP shell got 99% through an armour plate, your 2nd AP shell treats the plate like a virgin piece of armour. It also makes it impossible to saw wings off aircraft, the so called 'DM upgrade' is nothing more than lift/drag performance degradation to the flying surface (ie 1 303 hole and the wing loses 1% lift).
-
Been spending some time flying in the Target: Rabaul Open Beta and really like it. I believe that is where I will end up if AH2 falls flat. I have kept and flown my sub in AH but its not the same as the past due to a few little things but AH2 looks promising. I will never return to the sinking ship of WB and I know I will not be back in WW2OL at all. I have just recently completed a 2 week trial AGAIN and the issues I wrote a billion bug reports about in the Closed Beta Boards for a year are still there. The biggest thing with WW2OL for me is what I call "the pilot kill" that happens when you give a quick push on negative G's from level flight. At the highest time of my flights in WW2OL My pilot passed out with -1 G I hit the ground and saw my (by all outward appearances) undamaged plane sitting there on the ground. I couldn't wake up because in the brief neg G I witnessed the skull and crossbones on the person life indicator.

I am borred with AH and not playing it for a month or two. But, I am still subscribed, I take it as a:
"Hey HTC, here is my subvention to help you make this rusty bucket a top of the line sim like 4 years ago".
