Well this is the end for me in Aces High II, :( just can't bring myself to keep paying to beta test a game. To many bugs in the game, like .50cals killing a tank :confused: Found me a new game called WWII Online :aok Well

LOL and u think AH has bugs LOL

Good luck and hope you enjoy it. If you primarilly want to drive tanks AH is probably not where you belong anyhow. If on the other hand you interests lie in the sky (that doesn't make sense does it?) then WW2OL will be a disaster.

I think with his callsign and squad, that would be obvious :rolleyes: ..

Where's the link to the WW2OL "Bug Film" with the helicoptor Me110?

Let me say this...as someone who left WW2OL after 3 years to come here, if you dont want to pay to beta test a game, you better make another choice.
You'll see what I mean.

I've said it once, I'll say it again. Aces HIGH is ALL ABOUT FLYING. Vehicles are not here to be a sub-game unto themselves, but merely to add another dimension and flavor to the immersion factor and overall gaming experience. If you are flying Aces HIGH expecting a massively multi-player tank sub-game that is on par with the principle flying component you need to work on your reading comprehension skills.
As far as bugs go. A massively multi-player game such as Aces High is constantly evolving, adapting, expanding and changing. These types of games are always in a state of dynamic flux. They are never completely free of bugs. The developers will kill the show-stopping bugs quickly, but in a game this complex, running on an almost infinite variety of platforms, bugs are just a fact of life. Leaving AH in search of the perfect, bug-less game that offers anything even close to the entertainment value AH does for the money is akin to searching for the Holy Grail...Good Luck :aok

i got it at home, if someone wants to host it. (5mb or so i believe)

The question is how long until he figures out the trick with the night vision hack...
-
I can tell by the way you guys talk that you havnt played WWII
in quite some time been playing it for over a month now without a hitch better graphics better sound better modeling the trees look like trees can you believe that?they even blow with the wind. The tanks and planes look so much better then here it isnt funny so you little ones keep playing this atari beta test game and have fun
The night time hack? you mean when its gets dark you just turn up the contrast and brightness just like i did when it got dark in AH1

You guys can be some real jerks man, let him say goodbye without being arses. LTAR will be missed by at least one player, and if they are smart, LTAR will certainly be missed by the knights who have seen countless occasions of LTAR holding thier ground against hoardes. You guys seem to live under the illusion that everybody on AH plays just to fly around in hoardes and furball for your pleasure. The reason there are ground vehicles in the game, oh ignorant ones, is becuase some people enjoy them. :rolleyes:

I don't think anyone has stated that WWII Online is "bug free" as if AH1 or AH2 is?
AH has a perfect track record? No bugs in AH?
You need to read thru the "bug reports" section on BBS my friend.
I'll tell ya one thing tho, for all you guys that did the system upgrades that HTC recommended, you can certainly put it to good use in WWII Online. You'll be rewarded with beautiful terrain and models. Unlike the the Quake1 graphics you find here just like any other DirectX6 game:rolleyes:
Oh BTW, watch this then try tellin everyone how lame it looks or runs.

That certainly looks A LOT better than it did at the time I played it. WW2OL will always have a bad reputation, because there are so many people having so many bad experiences with it. Me included, I bought the game only to find out I couldn't connect to the server even, and after downloading what seemed like hundreds of patches, bug fixes and so on, it still wouldn't work. About two years later I gave it another try but the graphics just didn't appeal to me nor the gameplay.
They'd probably be better off making a whole new version of it rather than just patching the old one, to get rid of all the bad rumors and bad memories connected to the old, and it is OLD, game.
-
WWIIOL is ok....but what annoys me is the terrible netcode, players/tanks/planes move from A to D without doing smooth movements through B and C, instead they just teleport around. Its as if im playing CS/DOD/HLDM with a 9600baud modem......IMPOSSIBLE
during the day when theres no one on, its ok, because you dont see it happening....mainly because you dont see anyone lol :(
-
Perfectly good argument, never said it was perfect.
33Vortex states:
"They'd probably be better off making a whole new version of it rather than just patching the old one, to get rid of all the bad rumors and bad memories connected to the old, and it is OLD, game"
Ok, I'd maybe agree with that, but if ANYONE needs to ditch a graphics & game engine for something more up to date I can give you a hint on who it should be!
And AH is somewhat new???? DirectX6 graphics, stale redundant gameplay and people constantly b1tching about LA7's, P51's, N1k's & Spits.:rolleyes: OH, and did I leave out the "Rook" hordes
I would agree when WWII Online first launched, it was a disaster and a complete let-down, I threw my CD out the window!
It has come a long way {IMO} I have not noticed any significant issues pertaining to "lag" though. Will keep looking.
-
hmm odd, watching that video showed me how smooth it SHOULD be......
lately im having people disapear once there 500-1000yards away...its just stupid!
-
Overlag, I'll be the first to agree that's odd.
But there is a whole group of us playing and we don't have things/people disappearing?
Maybe link up with us sometime and we'll do some missions, maybe it's a setting? Just like HTC tells everyone in here! "It's always a setting on the players end" Go figure:rolleyes:

hehe hornets have been on for a bit lately, although our free trails are ending this week......... :(
-
all you guys with the 'dont let the door hit you arse' attitude are being stupid. are you the elite untouchables or something, can you enjoy AH on your own?
I for one will miss the LTARs. it was fun killing them and being killed when i was a rook. it is even better flying alongside them and saving/being saved by them now im back on the right side.
so long csp, come back if you get bored of WW2 online. i hope the whole LTAR squad isnt leaving. kinghts need them.

Thank you for the kind words Mechanic
Yes, the LTAR GV squad has officially disbanded and has left AH.

Devil, read the post, sounds kinda cool. But ya got one small problem, this is a "flight sim" remember!!! HTC has proven they know little about what killed armor back in WWII.
50cal & .303 rounds did NOT kill tank turrets or blow their tanks up! A 37mm round from 2000 yards away didn't distroy or {disable, in many cases} a Panzer or Tiger tank either.
Hopefully your scenario see's the light of day, best of luck to you.

Saw Bf-109's thread and thought I'd give it a go (16 hours on dial-up :eek: ). Have to say though, WWIIOL proved a welcome and enjoyable distraction from the MA. The ground action is superb and it feels like I imagined war would be (basically dieing quickly, being out of your depth, and not really sure what's going on - once you get to the action that is). After a couple of days asking, reading, learning from mistakes - and I have to say the community's pretty helpful... no altF4's there... things started to click.
I am convinced that if ground war's what you want this game takes some beating, I'm sure the LTARS will have found a home: good luck too you. However, I've always been into flight, and coming back to AH2 after a little break made me realize just how much I missed it as well just how bloody good it can/could/will be.
What I do have now is hope. [PRAY=TOD will deliver[\PRAY]
P.S. - is it just me or do the 68's have a ski-jumping knight as a patch?

ugg! i hate that saying man! there are a ton of us that love this game baecause it has both. thats just the air junky's talking!!!
hey i made a new acronim for aces high!:rofl
i hope this game will evolve some more, and people will be more open minded, or they could always just get rid of the gv's, and see how repeditive it will get
not being disrespectfull to you moil or anyother player but i really hate that saying/title what ever people want to call it:aok ..
guess i cant blame people for leaveing to go to ww2 online because of this saying. but if this is the majority's feelings includeing those who dont even use gv's than i can not do anything about it i guess but if theres enough of us then someones goto listen right? (hell theres pleanty of planes i dont use butt i bet they would be used in a senerio before a gv would

I totally agree Twitchy!
LTAR S!,
I hate to see any player leave because that means the fan base becomes smaller on what already is a small group. I hope ya find what your looking for.
My squad lost alot of guys to IL2 :( . I hate to lose friends or targets S!
O btw i was in WW2online for 2yrs from beta. The only reason i left was i wanted to fly 190s:p
-
Don't let the door.....
-
I'm not in the "don't let the door..." camp here, I do think its kind of rude. I'm also not in the camp where we should be fretting that a player or even a squad changes to another game or bashing HTCs work. Lets be honest about some mistatements here:
AH is only about planes---not only, just mainly.
AH2 is DX6 code---BZZZT, try running it with DX6 and let me know what happens.
WW2 has better graphics---for crawling through the grass or hiding in the tree line sure, thats what it was desinged for but it comes at a cost. There's the 64 limit and the distance limit, of course you'd have to be airborne to really be freaked out by that.
The GV war in AH is buggy---well that one is true. I've completely given up even trying GVs, it is irritating and I'm no good at it at all. I'm doing maybe one or two GV sorties per tour and it is either base defense in an Ostie or a supply/troop run in an M3. Also the groundwar model in AH is better than the airwar model in WW2, so neener neener :D
I suggest we all tone down the rhetoric some. If the LTARs wanna leave and play WW2 then I wish them good luck, i think they'll be happier there since thats the kind of game they play. I also think I'l miss dropping thousand pounders on em...at least a little bit.
-
to all, but I still haven't seen any teleport tanks :confused:
And I never said WWII didn't have any bugs.. And jet I wasn't crying about it, and yes I suked in a airplane :( , thats why I was in a GV Squad :aok .... So to all, its been fun...
-
and yes I suked in a airplane
Well, all I can say to this statement is that you are what you make yourself. You can only be as good as you want to be. You need the drive to WANT to learn to become better. If you just sit in a flack panzer or a Tiger you will never become a better stick in the air.
Getting better only means dying and making lots of mistakes, paying attention to your mistakes and learning. There is no two ways about it. Practice makes perfect.
-
Thank you Misfit
to you Sir
And to answer your question Edbert
"AH2 is DX6 code---BZZZT, try running it with DX6 and let me know what happens"
Your statement tells me you know NOTHING about how DirectX works, nuff said. You go ahead and send a little note to HTC and ask them yourself why the game "requires" DX9.0 Go ahead.
Then come back and tell me what the truth is, I'll be waiting.
to the rest of you for making us such a prized pelt:cool:

say wha???
let me put this as simple as i can. I know this is difficult to grasp but I'll do my best.
If all you do is hide in a GV and shoot at buildings, other GV's at spawn points, and then cover a base in flacks... Ofcourse the game is going to get old. Ofcourse you are going to get angry. Hell, I spend 5 minutes in a GV and want to smash my monitor with a 20lb sledge hammer. I can't begin to imagine what it is like at some of your homes when you die in GV's after hour after hour of GV play time.
The true beauty of this game is that you have many things that you can do in it at all times. If you get tired of doing one thing, there is always something else you can do. If you get tired of one thing, and keep doing it. Well, thats your bad. An its not surprising that you'd want to quit. And again, thats your bad.

I've wondered for years why people who do not have active accounts feel the need to post here, I figured it was because they have friends here. But lately I've seen many posts that simply are bashing this game, or bashing the code, or the gameplay or the players or the developers. This is even more confusing since it often comes from those who no longer play, I don't understand the motivation. I am not a fan of WW2OL, but I do not go to their BBS and trash them or their game. I flew WB for years and loved it back then, I no longer do and my account on AGW was removed. I'd hate to see HTC make an active account be a requirement to post (outside of the O-club at least) but man, where is all of this going?

Not tired of AH at all just tired of the 50 cal panzer kills and my tracers rounds going right thru the front of a plane as it dives at me the dive bombing B-17 and Lancs as for flying i fly alot not too bad at it IMHO not as good as most but i try which brings me to the you cant hit watermelon pass 300 whine once again ive watched as my tracers go right thru the plane in my sights with no effect
the game as it stand now is flawed greatly!As you know since you where one of the guys that used the hidden tank bug so well but since they fixed that i havnt seen you in a gv hhhmmmm
BTW i still think your a shutin whos very angry

I've never had my tracers pass thru a plane with no hits from any distance. Do you have V-sync ON, are you getting alot of variance spikes/packet-loss with your connection? That sounds like a problem with your rig not with AH.

First off I HAVE an active acct for your information. Second, it's so funny that I'm automatically labeled a "basher" of the game and it's players? hhmmmm
When all these other guys express thier views or "bash" as you call it, it just seems to be ok or just tolerated. I never stated I hated AH1 or 2. I have simply stated FACTS that are present within the game and the community. If there's any ONE group that has taken a beating from the beginning it's LTAR
OR were we "bashed" ???
It's just so funny that as long as your one of "those" and not one of "these" or "that" then it's ok to speak your mind/truth.

My my aren't we defensive. Notice I did not name anyone or any squad? Methinks you already knew about the rash of posts saying how much AH2 sucks and this and that that (mainly other LTARs, you are far from the worst basher in the LTAR squad) that has been spewed on Hitech's own BBS.
You see, I tried to start off by saying those who say "don't let the door hit you in the arse" are being rude. I also said I regret when someone or some squad feel the need to leave this game that we all (the vast majority at least) love so much. I've also never bashed the LTAR squad, you guys had real talent in a part of the game where I had none, and I mean NONE. But it wasn't more than one post later and here comes LTARrpts with another bashing thread (and I'll stand by that term, but you can call it whining if you prefer), even feeling the need to bash the game AFTER he says he's already left.
See? When you guys say the game sucks and say you are leaving for greener pastures, then come back here over and over to tell us how much HTC's code/game sucks it really makes you look petty and cheap. That is why so many say "don't let the door". I am starting to feel that way too now. if you wanna go then go, and REALLY GO, you are annoying!

truly ghey
Funny I never had the luck to kill a panzer with 1 50 cal hit...
bahh..its true..GVs are secondary to Planes..
btw Planes are much more fun ..and takes more skill
but i understand if you cant skateboard...becuase
1) you dont know what practice is
2) Your phyisically challaneged and have no coordintaion
and so you cant skate so you put on your Fruitboots..err Rollerblades..its so much easier right?
Makes me laff when people say..Bye im leaving....
I woudl say i woudl miss you..but that woudl be a lie..If you werent a Knight I would miss you..cause I love Killn GV dweebs..
so anyways...
Go ahead and let the Door hit ya..hehehehe
they do seem to have bettr graphics..true dat..but i rarley hide in the bushes

Let me give a example and see what everyone thinks.
Your climbing in your choice of planes to your chosen alt. As you get to that chosen alt you see a single B17 below to your 2oclock. You roll her over and begin you dive. About 1.7 out the one B17 turns into 3 followed by a 190 that wasn't there as you started your dive. You fire on the now leading B17 and pass at 400mph. You extend and start to grab alt. As you check your 6 the 190 that wasn't there a min ago it not out climbing you,SOMEHOW, before you can do much about it your tail is gone.
Now I know many are asking what the Hell is he talking about.
A situation like this may or maynot have happened to some of us. where you spend time setting up to have the impossible happen.
But it happens all the time in GV's. You drive for over 30 min to get killed in a tiger by 50 cals.
This isn't about planes are better that GV's or the other way around. It's about being fair. If a,,, lets say A5 could do everything better than everyother plane in here ,, AND SHOULDN'T,,, those that didn't fly the A5 would be pissed!!!
Thats what you get in a GV, the impossible,,,, over and over and over and over.
I'm out also, to all I have fought with and agienst.

I hear you ***** about things that maybe/maybe not bugged, but I never hear you ***** about things that are just plain wrong.
...like a tank commander being able to plink away with the mg while being straffed to hell and back. That fool would be confetti, but you can do it all day in Pz's and not to mention the FP's.
...why is that, I wonder??
-
Not sure if your responding to me or not.
If you are I don't understand your comment on PZ'S or FP'S being able to get straffed. I do think a plane should be able to take out a MG on any GV. Turret,,,,, Maybe only a couple out there,,,, but blow it up,,, NO ,,,HELL NO.
I think I am ******** about things I see as just plain wrong,,like:
50cals killing anyGV other than an M3
Bombs can take out GV's from way to far away
Tank rounds bouncing off M3's
GV's comming to a dead stop from 70mph going down a hill in N at the base of any hill. "should flip" or at least respond like in AH1
Il2's can take 2or more FP rounds without going down.
FP hit bubble
Gv's get stuck in a puddle of water,,"come on"
Just a couple off the top of my head.

Skateboard,,,, what are you talking about??
I enjoyed GV's Greencloud,as you enjoy planes nothing wrong with that. I flew much longer than I spent time in a GV,, over a year and a half,,,funny never ran into you.

Furious states:
"like a tank commander being able to plink away with the mg while being straffed to hell and back. That fool would be confetti, but you can do it all day in Pz's and not to mention the FP's"
I would have to agree, the tank commander or any poor sap using the MG would be cut to shreads if he were strafed by an A/C using anything stronger than a BB gun.
However, Panzer tanks were NOT killed {not the commander} but the tank itself by a strafing A/C using .303's or .50cal's.
Now there were specific A/C that were used in the war for attacking GV's, but they usually used rockets, bombs and very lrg caliber rounds. This is understandable.
Trust me, if there's any ONE group thats been strafed to death, it was LTAR. Been there, done that.
