Title: Want to see AHII sooner than later?

Players can accelerate the development process for us by testing the patches we put out. The more people that test it, the easier it is for us to fix things for a wide variety of platforms.

You heard the man, get in there and download AHII beta 26 and help out Dale, Doug and the rest of the AH crew to get the new version out the door! :)

AH-I = was a completely open beta.

AH-II = is an existing subscriber only "open" beta.

If they truly wanted more players trying it out then IMO they would have had AH-II on an open server to suit that purpose.

I am having too much fun in AHI to take the time to try AHII, unless its an organized efort and I know there will be a few fights there.

Post by: Citabria on May 04, 2004, 05:16:07 PM: it would make sense to let the H2H gang have at ah2 beta online since no paying customers fly regularly in it.

the h2h gang would jump at the oportunity and enjoy themselves in the process and no doubt report much bugs if they find them

Post by: beet1e on May 05, 2004, 03:52:19 AM: AH2 isn't going to include TOD - the mission theatre. So the flight models will be different perhaps, the gunnery is likely to be different...

...but the gameplay is going to be SOSO - same old, same old. It will still be grab-the-best-plane-for-the-job, it will still be the übertrio, gangbangs, hording, suicide-the-CV, pork-n-auger...

Of course, a lot of the old game-the-game tricks may well not work, so we'll see a different pattern to the gameplay. But I've not seen anything to indicate that the underlying theme will be any different from SOSO.

So as far as I'm concerned, I don't care when AH2 comes out.

TOD seems like a good concept, but I have reservations about how many will play it. Most are probably going to be happy in the MA paddling pool.

Yes, I read your NPA quite some time ago. A lot of good sense in there. With a new game realease, it might be a good time to implement!

Post by: jaxxo on May 07, 2004, 12:05:43 PM: I keep downloading it, it keeps telling me my current version is out of date.

Post by: Morpheus on May 07, 2004, 12:29:18 PM: I did the auto update within the game as wel Jaxxo. Got the update and went right back into Aces High 1... I then went to go into AH2 with fester and it said I needed to update; after I just updated...

So I redownloaded the update and went directly into AH2 this time. It worked fine that way. I dont know if Aces High is picky or it is Windows that is being the picky party here but in any case, I had the same thing happen to me. So just going directly from the AH2 update to Beta 27, and then back into Ah2 did it for me.

I don't know if that makes sense but maybe it will help you.

Post by: Orig on May 07, 2004, 05:33:05 PM: If H2H was enabled for non-subscribers then there would probably be a few full servers up 24/7.

*edit - I deleted remainder of message because it sounded bad, sorry.
