it seems so clausterphobic in there now never much going on on ch 2 and ch 200 is totally lame.
theres no taunting no insults no jokes.
its like sitting in a doctors office waiting for a fight.
-
am i the only one to observe this?
-
Ohhh the horror...no insult channel...
The salute command will drivem crazy now...
IKON
-
Yipeeeeee channel one gone.
-
So far I don't mind because there often was so much non-game or otherwise irrelevant chat on 1.
Even salute rendering sometimes got distracting when expected or received for just routine actions rather than notable engagements.
In the eternal realism vs. playability debate, it was ironic that we couldn't have external views for more pleasurable airfield immersion and to freshen up otherwise boring climbout and cruising flight, but we had Channel 1 to chat up the "enemy."
-
What we need is a .f for the finger command.
JB66 (Insert name here).
I am only kidding, but I do kind of miss channel one, it was fun finding out where a certain squad was so we could go up against them. Some of my favourites to fly against are the Damned, and the Widowmakers. It is always a friendly fight with taunting.
But now it's kind of Generic. Sanitary.
The abuse of channel one is what did it in though, and we all know that.
-
its boring
-
Fester ... your kidding ... right ?
Shane is in top form on CH 200 and so are others.
Not to worry ... Give it some time and CH 200 will wind itself back up to full RPMs akin to CH 1.
I would imagine that the tameness on CH 200 is due to the reasons why CH 1 has disappeared ... those who would be quick to spew their puke all over CH 1 are having second thoughts about doing the same on CH 200. At least for the time being.
-
I'd rather see crap maps like NdIsles and the like, where bases are a sectore or more apart, go by the wayside. The only good fights this weekend were where the carriers were, until some moron killed them.
I just don't get the need to have all the bases a sector or more apart. What is the benefit to game play? Unless boring everyone to death is the plan.
-
200 seems the same as channel 1. Politics and Insults. Just remind the new guys to tune 200 and things will be the same.
-
Why do you need channel 1, hell you have this forum to spew all your trash/hate talk. Picking on 16 yr old kids, calling them "retards" posting pictures of such. Then having your squad mate XtremeBJ come in and fuel the fire. Then said 16yr old kid has enough and says something he shouldnt have (just like you) and more than likely ended up being banned. I'll say it again......... just b/c you made a map doesnt make you god.
-
you mean jetbjay? the schizophrenic multipersonality bbs spammer with two handles that clutters up the boards?
-
Yea I miss chan1 a lot. Having it removed just gives an overall feeling a restriction. Sort of like having a cranky old tight lipped school marm squinching her nose over you. "I dare you to talk."
But I guess we'll see how a kinder, gentler war game works.
I hate it, but I guess others have different taste. And who knows, maybe 200 will liven up after people get used to flying. Right now people might just be afraid to talk smack :D
-
I miss ch .1 Game seems to tame now, ch. 200 being clogged by 2 or 3 guys loving to see themselves talk.
-
Ya, some of us are children.. Most of us are not.. It just plain sucks being treated like a child..

You mean intead of seeing 200-300 guys loving to see themselves talk ... come on ... CH 1 is alive and well on CH 200.
Like Tweedy said, too many people still trying to figure out how to play/survive. Once that is accomplished, the usual politcal/history/smacktalkin/insulting/predjudice diatribes will resume.
Be patient ... the scum always rises to the top ... eventually.

I miss it too. I was never one to squelch anyone or any channel, because I found it all amusing.
I miss channel1 and I still miss not having kill macros like AW had..... they B FUN.
Also loved the Death messages from AW. No one could hide that fact that they were shot down by "so and so" ..... especially fun after having talked like a hero, then seconds later "Hero shot down by Tard" comes across for all to see. Beautiful.
But channel 1 being gone is sad.
-
I do not miss it at all.
I can those I want to.
If I want to talk to someone not on my country I can take the time and effort to do so via private.
If for whatever reason ( few that I can think of ) I feel a need I can tune to 200 and wallow in it.

*calvin* would want to wallow in it.
-
I've said this before in other topics but...
Insead of giving new life to an obviously degrading community, they instead divided by 3 instead.
I can't wait to see the AH Conventions in a couple of years..
"Do I know you?"
"I flew for the Bishops."
"Oh, I don't know you, I flew for the Rooks."
--
A good community can prolong even a bad game (and I'm NOT saying AH2 is bad), not sure why HTC even considered killing channel 1. More volunteer moderators would of been a better solution...
-
you hit the nail on the head delirium.
everyone that shoot down or that shoots you down its like they are just a drone now. might as well play an offline game like il2 it feels vacant the way il2 does now.
and it does feel like 2/3rds of the crowd is not really in the same arena now because you can't easily talk to them or say hello.
-
I liked what someone said about having channel 1 being squelched an option under setup.

AW's death messages were as follows:
"XXXX shot down" or "XXXX plane crashed". Which message you saw depended on whether the guy crashed as a result of enemy action.
This system, as with AH's origional system, is horribly ill-suited to AH's current over-populated arenas of hundreds upon hundreds of people. It causes the text buffer to scroll too quickly.

Who fault was it we lost channel 1 this time anyway? I was told it was two guys going back and forth and after numerous warnings HT had enough...least thats what I heard.
-
I agree with Fester....miss ch.1
just so I can laugh at Shane(aka Rice1):rofl
-
Give it time, peeps don't know about ch200 yet. They will, soon enough.
But right now, you're right, it's pretty boring.

What we need is a .f for the finger command.
I think the finger key is one of the best ideas I have seen so far, it gets my vote :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl
I would only want Channel 1 back if I can get a permanent squelch for it. Then turn channel one back on for those who want it.
Every time I log on I squelch channel 1, and I am tired of have to do that. I really don't want to even hear the salutes kee rap.
I only salute you will get from me is from the 6 50s on my Pony. The only salute I expect back if from your favorite gun set.
Let the guns do the talking. :D

LOL I loved the macros I enjoyed the overall creativity people put into them good or bad.
I know some didnt like at least a couple of mine.
I know one that freaked a few people out was
"I want your blood...ALL OVER ME! /IT\ KILLS! ///oo\\\"
I miss seeing them though. Kinda like the NFL squashing end zone celibrations which I also enjoyed.
The death messages were great too And ended upon both sides of that coin.
But win or loose it was all in good fun...most of the time lol
All in all they added to the entertainment. And thats what this s really s'possed to be all about.

Oh, ch 200 will catch up to it's former self. There's really nothing different about it, it's just in a different place don't ya think? Or do you attribute that it's now gotta be "tuned" to, it just fails to reach out and drag in a lot of people?
I would also suspect that many people are way more concentrated on the game with it's new attributes to deal with rather than all country channel. Once everyone gets comfortable you'll see more of the old pot stirrers on there, IMHO.

Rice1 and rags, LOL. :rofl :rofl

Aces High always has more action on its Playground of the Vanities bulletin board than it does in the game. Cannot hiccup without half the players cackling "Gross!" and the other half murmuring "God bless."
Aces High is not one game but a mosaic of variations blending the most persuasive vociferants. Whatever we want is somewhere now or a possibility. No need to mourn Channel 1 -- Channel 200 makes it a life sentence rather than the death penalty.

its like sitting in a doctors office waiting for a fight.
This is a big part of why I am leaving (for a while anyways). Getting busy with RL things doesn't mean you NEED to leave AH. But the fact that the game just sucks so much with out Ch1 I really dont have any 'drive' to play. The fun was sucked out with the killing of Ch1. There was always something to talk about ect. Now there is nothing. CH200 is nothing but a lame excuse and poor substitution for what was a good thing.
I wont even get into the icon thing.
Its just more agrivation and less fun right now. I'll be around but I will in no way be playing as much as I hoped not to mention looked forward to! Things are becoming more and more of a let down than anything else. (Which is why its probably a good idea for a long over due break after 2+/- solid years of flying.)
Fester couldnt have said it better when it said "its like sitting in a doctors office waiting for a fight".
I knew it would be like this when you guys first took away Ch1. I knew it and many told me to piss off and that Ch1 was nothing but a killer for good game play. Well then I will ask you this.
What is your idea of "good game play"???
Having people sit in silence at 20k awaiting a fight? Or a boring climb out with nothing being said, nothing to talk about, no Ch1? Only the arm chair generals talk on Ch2 now anyways.
The way it is right now is a step backwards. Ch1... I hate the fact that we had our choice to turn Ch1 on and off taken away from us because the poor girls who didnt' like Ch1 couldnt stand the sight of it for those few monents before they squelched it. Poor little girls.
They take away Ch1. Give us Ch200... What the heck is the point?
Bah. Whatever. I was very excited with things when it was in beta and we had a whole new game with many of the same things that were so much fun like Ch1. Now its gone, and now it sucks.
Theres my whine... Stick that in your pipe and smoke it.

#1 Buzz Kill in a game
Over the top smack talkers.
Most of the time I feel embarrassed for them, the rest of the time I feel like smackin the smack out of them, which of course kills the joy of game play .
They ruin the whole concept of immersion. Taunting to an extent is part of the game, but some of these guys,.... sorry, you know who you are,...only pull attention to themselves as they publicly exhibit stupidity and self absorbing pedestal climbing.
fudge ch 1, But hey, who am I to say?

nobody noticed spamers and flooders also bs*** watermelon chat was move to country channels?. Unfortunly not to chn 200!!!.
People on chn200 know about not too big audience and are "so kinde " to keep informing countrymates about his let say "RL issues".
Now insted of type squelch one, ( one command) i must suffer spamers on chn4 CHANNEL wichone cannot be squelch or turned off. Anyway is sometimes too importand to be squelch.
and this .s thing is just funny for me. Fully political correct
can we have .fu command too? ;-)
-
Fester and delerium have it right IMO. Ch200 isn't the same thing. The default open channel is a community building tool, no matter that griefers can abuse it. There's ways to deal with that. There's no replacement for having that flow of communication that makes you love to hate the enema :)

drones
all drones now
all the red icons might as well be ai il2 drones because not one of them has a voice or a personality now. i can kill them all 1v1 and they can kill me when i screw up and get in bad position or outnumbered predictably and repeatedly.
its the people and the fun of hearing people on the enemy side on every side that puts a human element in a computer game and that human element just got deleted.
-
i mean come on what are you guys playing ah for a big civilized tea party? "Salute blah blah" "salute "nanner nanner" god thats the most annoying crap in the world. I squelch 1 just to avoid seeing those god awful lame repetitive macrod salutes every one the same with no human variation all artificial as the matrix itself.
screw that I want to mosh sling insults salutes jokes and run amok talking to friends and enemies on the other teams.

I for one am more than pleased channel 1 is gone. I'll state a FEW of my reasons why.
1)No more text bar suffering from WHITE OUT especially when theres 300+ in.
2)Now I (or U) can read specific info related to game play.
3)Don't have to keep extending text bar because the purple / red text flew past so quick in the WHITE OUT.
4)Newbies no longer give game plan away in white text.
5)Don't have to read incest / oral insults.
6)Don't have to read how X Y or Z is gods gift to AC. Most of the braggers ain't that good anyways. Man, these boys tick me off some.:rolleyes:
7)Don't have to squelch 1.
Now, boys, you have a brand new blaggers braggers channel. Tune to 200 .. and u don't have to do that every time as it's perminant. You knobbers can fill that text bar to your hearts content or untill the likes of shane, for example, make it their own personal forum:rolleyes: You guys could always more to Yahoo/ kids chat /Fight rooms.....and it's free.
As for HTC's actuale reasons for getting shot of channel 1 I have no idea but lets suppose we have sherlock like powers of deduction.
1) It's his living / business ...so the more that stay / play the better.
2) A wider spectrum of game player may be encouraged to stay because they ain't reading what in effect is err....Bollox!!
3) Newbies may actually stay after the 1st ALT F4 joke.
4) Newbies may actually stay because they ain't being insulted with "Tard" and the like.
I could go on and on and on and on and on but then I would be like a knobber off channel 1:rofl

Why not just insult people on the BB to the point of making a 16 yr old kid who's sole goal was to work and make enough $$$ to build a computer to pay HTC $14.99/month , get him banned from the BB and lose a paying customer by insulting said customer and calling him a "retard". Hell all the kid wanted to do was make friends and pay $$$ for a game that interested him. Yeah he had some pretty stupid posts on the BB, but really your replies took the cake in terms of stupidiy. And alas he is banned as well as Jet, so there goes $30/ month towards HTC's bottom line just to keep you onboard.......wow you made a map......guess its ok to ban two harmless guys and lose $30 but yet keep some noodlesack ******** assbandit hatemonger and make $14.99
:confused:
-
Hell if I can make a map which in turn allows me to offend anyone I want, and essentially create a double standard in terms of TOS for the BBS, maybe its worth it at least that way no matter what I do or say HTC will bow down and suck my cheekbones and allow me to do whatever the hell I want and ban whoever I want.

Think anyone from HTC will reply, or even look at this post, and take it into thought? Or is chan 1 completly ruled out? CH1 was a big part of the game, if it wasnt.... Why were there so many people on it in the first place?

Because it was DEFAULT and darn annoying at that.
There is no issue here...those that want the banter blagger bragger bull text have only to use 200. Or is there an ISSUE with channel 200...like just a few guys dominating it lol??:rofl
I admit some stuff on 1 has made me laugh but it ain't in my oppinion the be all and end all of AH.
As for newbies tuning to 200 thats up to them but at least they ain't subjected to the "crap" in the first place.
-
HTC... What do you think of the idea to have ch1 but be able to toggle it off as a setting?? Is HTC not able to make this happen or should the community just 'deal' with it?? I mean com'on.. Most have been flying and paying money to HTC for years.. We have always had a ch1 to talk to the other countries.. I have seen no one actually die or quit/leave because of ch1.. What if I just wanna give a general shout out to all the badguys.. I do this often.. ERRRRR I 'did' this often.. Geee HT, put down the Gestapo book and give us back ch1.. Put more moderators in the game if need be.. But please stop treating 'ALL' of us like children........

I could'nt have said that better myself.
I feel exactly the same Fester, Its boring out there. I really got a kick out of chn1. Besides if someone didnt care for what someone was saying couldnt they have squelched him?
Does taking a feature away that so many want seem right?
Sure many wanted it gone, but the means were already in place for you to extinguish that channel.

DudeDVant: You havn't seen people leave? I have seen a bunch. Most you neaver hear about.
Channel 200 is only different than channel 1 in one manner. You must choose to join it, wrather than choose to not join it. And it seems to me the people complaining about it, are realy complaining that most people do not join it.
Well guess what, that was the entire point of disabling channel 1.
So that the people who abuse the channel , did not have a captive audience that didn't want to listen. Why should the burden of choosing to listen be on them, VS the burden be on the people who did wish to listen.

What HT said:cool:

Snapperhead, you're very close to getting perma-squelched off this board. If you don't want that to happen, you better edit that post before I do and never drop another f-bomb on this board.
-
LOL most you so called "smack" talkers that miss channel 1 dont realize that 1)You were unoriginal with you come backs
2)You had become the norm
3)Were no longer funny, except how big an idiot you appeared to other for you unorignal "Smack" talk.
4)Had reached a new level for sandbox comments
I would much rather have a rich target environment then be flying circles with a few "Smack" talkers. If what HT said is true about it running off new guys then this was Def. needed and is welcome IMHO. :D

Very well put, and very well executed.
SO the people who clog Ch1 with IMMATURITY, toped with self gratifying stupidity, are whinning because we don't HAVE to listen to their meaningless half-baked nonsense. Paying players are not forced to listen to a 12 yr old mentailty from people over 20.
I think the only people who are NOT going to get what HT posted are the ones who just lost their audience. The rest of us will be shaking Dale's hand at AH con.
Next we'll see post about how hard it is to change to ch 200, or physically have to type a code to listen to nonsense. "...that's so inconvienent...rant rant rant, blah blah blah ...."
*Some* of you need to serious consider growing up, OTHER paying players shouldn't HAVE to be subjected to your growing pains.
WTFG Dale, truely ;-)

I am not tuned to channel 200. Don't see the need. So, are you 200 guys in the minority now. If that is so .... I WONDER WHY?
Well done HTC
-
Its like football. The smack talking over the line of scrimage, or in the locker rooms before or after the game, doesn't make the game. BUT IT CERTAINLY HELPS THE GAME. Otherwise, why would so many sport shows cover and relish the smack talk? But I too can adapt. I wonder, however, if those so burdened with what other people are saying, can. I guess every society (even virtual societies) has its book burners. Theirs is a dubious cause. For every window closed, two more open.

You cannot build a community through chnl 1 once the population pushes past 500 players.
Hate is situational and arises from well designed gameplay. What passes for trash talk in this era is just misdirected whining. Better to shut it off and focus on real community building.

Wow they banned the kid??
Now thats a damn shame.
Yea he may have had some dumb posts but the same can be said for most of the "adults" from time to time.
And this was a KID we are talking about.
yea his posts were sometimes childlike but this IS after all a child.
It is a real shame cause though it all you could tell the kid was just bubbling with self pride that he was working for something for himself and not just having it handed to him like most kids do nowdays
Now I dont know all the wherealls of it all who said what,or how it came to that .but I do know he was the one that was attacked first.
I stopped reading the posts after the first couple insults were hurled out of disgust.
After all you can see who started a thread. If that person is known to have dumb or boring posts why bother even reading that thread let alone respond to it?
Real tough group of so called men we must have here.
Takes a real set of brass ones to pick on or pick fights with kids
Yea, real toughguys:rolleyes:
Tell ya what. Should HTC decide to re instate him.
they have my permission to bill me for his first months gameplay

I would have turned it off a long time ago, but I am sure they (HTC) were looking at some considerations I am/was not. Nevertheless…
I don't miss it a bit. Though at times I wish I could say something other than to who shot me down. Though if it is that important I just tune em private. Not a big deal, but with it off they will not lose any more customers who are insulted and slammed by the regulars. Not so much the old timers who cut it up, but from those that really don’t care and want to insult. It takes away their ability to do that. If they want to tune 200 it is their choice. They are not inundated with C1 the first time they fly.
And of course this puts moderators out of a job. One less thing for people to whine about. Win win all the way around. :) Turn it off and keep it off.
As for you Snaperhead, I hope your gone permanently. I would have not even warned you.

Now thats a damn shame.
Yea he may have had some dumb posts but the same can be said for most of the "adults" from time to time.

*Appluads*
well said my friend!
I agree that *some* player of AH seem to feel that they are in the 'untouchables' section and can do what they please, hurling indsults and judgements without any substance or regard for others feelings.
JetB and Jay were two kids playing a game populated by adults. they were treated with no respect by some of these so-called 'adults', and they still played and soldiered on through the 'uber-geek' insults and putdowns. they didnt back away from confrontation on this BB even when the so called 'gods' of AH were against them, and to take the piss, they got banned in the end not the 'gods'
snapperhead may have been a little over the top but i see his point! (LMAO at the 'i made a map too' bit. even if this makes me immature.)
i would be happy to pay their 2nd month after Drediock if HT were to let them back.
i would also be happy to pay double next month if HTC would come down hard apon those who played their sick games with the two kids - they know who they are, may they forever live in shame from their actions.
-
they really banned them from game? how sad :(
well put Dred, btw.

first off: snapperhead jet and jay did not get banned. Where do you get your info? From a secret decoder ring out of a crackerjack box? Neither is banned from the BBS either. They just have to work to earn the money to get newer computers to play.
Secondly: I hate to go against the grain here but I find it rather ironic that on the day HT disabled CH1 one of the main antagonists that was smacktalking and tipped the scales so to speak was the one who started this thread!

I was not banned I did nothing bad to get banned. I only defended myself. Pyro is getting mad at all the people that keeps posting negative pictures about us on his board thats why he is mad.

Hate is situational and arises from well designed gameplay. What passes for trash talk in this era is just misdirected whining. Better to shut it off and focus on real community building.
I have to agree with both Culero here, the other being myself
BUT, if the text is so numerous, and everyone is talking at once, it goes by so fast you don't have time to absorb it, and probably miss 60% of anything of importance to yourself. The text overload is usually due to smack talkers from all countries, blasting into a bottle neck, IMO.
HT didn't actually *remove* anything, only made it a manual option. And instead of looking like > Ch.1 <, it looks like > Ch.200 < .
For the majority of the players, who probably don’t care for some of the Ch.1 antics, it’s probably best that you have to tune into it, then to get a buzz kill from it and have to tune out of it. If it auto opens to Ch1 then you are kind of insulting those/most who don’t care for it, by shoving it down there throat right off the bat. By making it manual the players who don’t like it may not even realize it exist. Could be a big turn-off to new players.
The only reason Ch 1 is even talked about as like a plague is because it was totally abused by few, and annoying to many. Almost like porn pop-ups, it became more annoying then useful.
OTOH, I can’t believe I involved myself in this conversation. Because, I don’t seem to understand what is so terribly hard to type 200. ;-P
I think HTC’s reasoning makes enough sense that it doesn’t need to be analyzed.
And here I am writing a wall of text about it…
If you have new company over for dinner, do you want them to see your house a mess as soon as they walk in, or do you want to keep it behind closed doors so that maybe they won’t see it at all? It could be a bad first impression.
If it hadn’t been abused/abusive, it would not have changed . But IMO taunting must exist somehow, to some degree. Like Culero said, it makes you love to hate the enemy.

I didn't hear him say anything about the pics. I did read him say he didnt like the derogatory posts and negative remarks of witch you were a major player. If there was something about the pics I must have missed it. Though I do agree SOME were in really bad tast.

When AH2 went live, I typed in ".radio 2 200". The next day, when I logged back in, channel 2 was still set to 200. Amazing thing, it was there the next day, and it was there everyday since. I only had to type ".radio 2 200" once.
Those people who didn't want to take part in channel 1 at any level and chose to squelch it, they would type ".squelch 1" when they logged in. The next time they logged in, they had to type ".squelch 1". They had to type it each time they logged in.
There are only 2 major differences between channel 200 and the old channel 1. First, it is not automatically enabled. Not everyone is going to see what you type. Is that really a bad thing? Second, your name now has "200" following it. Other than that, it is exactly the same. I can have conversations with people like Frenchy, Nomde, Silat, the AK's, etc who are flying in other countries.
Oh well, I will just shrug, roll my eyes, and sigh. Pretty much the same reaction I have with all the other "major" issues that people seem to claim AH has (you know, like the fuel multiplier and the new icons/gunnery).

Channel 200 is only different than channel 1 in one manner. You must choose to join it, wrather than choose to not join it. And it seems to me the people complaining about it, are realy complaining that most people do not join it.
Well guess what, that was the entire point of disabling channel 1.
So that the people who abuse the channel , did not have a captive audience that didn't want to listen. Why should the burden of choosing to listen be on them, VS the burden be on the people who did wish to listen.

Any thoughts on doing the same with range channel? Channel 100 instead of an open channel that we can't even squelch...?

Fair'nuff.. 8) I'm sorry, I did not know there were many that left because of ch1.. Thanks for the reply!

HiTech
Thank you for removing Chan 1. It is a major improvement.

so, is removing ch1 "the" major improvement from 1 to 2? or on the other hand, is it a major step in wrong direction? either way, seems it is overshadowing everything else and that is sad.
