tonight logging into the ma seemed different in some strange way. couldnt put my figure on it until finding 3 high cons hovering around a entire sector behind our lines. as i aproached closer they kept getting higher and higher and higher. until i finnal got a con on them i kept my distance the whole time trying to at least match thier alt.
finnaly! two pony's one higher than the other by about 5k and the lowest one being 15k. i knew then for sure what they wanted to do, and so it began, one would tangle with me for a bit until i started getting the advantage, and the other would come for my six. over and over this happened, funny thing is i knew exactly what they were up too, but alas they wouldnt let my la5 go. finnaly with what seemed like hours i augered and told them "great tag team".
went to another base upped to only find the same thing happening, two or three planes hovering over it not even trying to take it but to just vulch guys trying to get up to them. got one the other ran.
upped from another base, and flew to a enemy base where a couple of firendly's appeared to have a small cap going. but when i arrived i was sadly unsurprised to see them doing the exact same thing to this one m16 that i encountered on my first two sorties tonight. kept continualy up and get killed, up and get killed. looked at the town, totaly up. thought to myself, this is so stupid! what happened to the ma, i used to be in it to take bases and kick but, now its to get silly kills by vulching one or two defenders by either vulching them on the runway or killing them in gv's because no one would up at the first two bases i upped from, and now no ones upping from the one we are vulching at. i kill two m16's and then crash because i get so tired of the same old.
mabey i land some kills mabey i dont, but either way i hardly feel satisfied or pleased with myself when i land kills any more because now most of them are against unlucky player who happen upon a tag team, or from vulching, or killing buff's,or dropping bombs on gv's
i decided to do the untinkable tonight. i deleted my account! perk points and all :eek: dont care anymore, and dont need em either. im gonna get back to the one thing ive been missing since i started this game, liveing life again. besides im much to old and have way to many responsabilites be playing silly games anyways;)
so to all good night any goodbye
p.s. thank's for all the fun

Ummm so you have one bad night where your side is getting banged and you walk? Too bad, I hope you don't regret it. This happens to all of us one night or another. Enjoy real life.

no this one situation has not been the only thing to make me feel, bored, tired,fed up. call it whatever, just time for a change, and keeping my account was not going to do it.
almost forgot too jb73, getsome, wheels, ohh theres so many.
this time come's probably in alot of player lives, where it's just not any fun anymore, more like repeating the smae things you did the night before over and over again.

68DevilM... I'm already there, as well. The "net" of this for me is that AH2 was already feeling "limited" in play (before ENY limiter was even introduced) and just not as fun. I was really looking forward to ToD (which was announced in 1/2003 for release in Q3 of 2003) - http://www.forrelease.com/D20030128/datu049.P2.01282003151234.28697.html
I cancelled my account 1 week ago because I found another online wargame which is TRULY immersive and has all of the features that ToD was supposed to supply.
Good decision to get back to full-time real life, by the way. I may be there eventually, myself.

C'mon! Nobody can really make ya wanna quit that easy, can they? I think you just needed a change of pace, man. It'll happen here soon enough. Come back when we get the Ki-84, the Shermie baby! (woof) and the B-92 ... errr .... 29 .... errr .... 24 .... errrr ... .25 ..... errrrr .... Sparviero.

sir, sorry to see one go, but enyoy your life, your family and children, and the world outside a computer.

no it's not just one night, or just one experiance. tyred of the whole system. tonight was just one example of the many different things that bore me about playing anymore, but you are right, i do need a change of pace, i dont knwo mabey i went a little drastic by deleteing with out first burning my perks or finishing my month that ive paid for already, but really guys, its just too repedative right now and i just had to just say screw it, i quit, kinda like i need to do with smokiing cigarettes, if you dont really enjoy doing something anymore why not get away from it any try something new, right.

68DevilM. You will be missed.
And for those with the "Don't let the door hit you in the..." (Ra)attitude, you are really sad. Wonder what you're gonna do when it's your turn. Or what's gonna happen when the doors close on this game. You are sad, twisted little (emphasis added) people.
Seriously, here you have a guy bearing his heart and saying goodbye and you (Ra) can think of nothing better to do than that? He is not whining, not threatening, not yelling or throwing a fit, just saying goodbye, and the height of your character is to be a smartprettythang? Much as you may think that makes you cool it does not.
I'm out...go ahead and fire back. You have already shown yourself to be witless. With that in mind I have nothing to fear from your words or thoughts (little though they may be).

68DevilM,
Sorry to hear the game's lost its charm for you, but do enjoy your "sabatical" away from it *I'm an optimist :)
Hope to see you back in a few months or so, you can always take HTC up on their two week trial to see if the games more fun later down the road.
-
68Devil Hopefully you will come back.
-
68Devil
You will be missed, maybe, just maybe, we can all come back to the game we used to love.
Pay no attention to the "door hit ya" crowd they are as useless as ......................I better just shut up now.
For some silly reason they think the community should be made up of a bunch of back stabbing, don't give a watermelon who plays here, we really never liked ya anyhow type of people.
And I'm the one "hurting the community" go figure, better yet let these bright ones lead the way!
Which is why still to this day I say What a shame
-
Don't quit, I know I am trying to decide what it is I wanted/expected when I came back, but leave for the right reasons, not one bad night.
There are ways to enjoy the game, and the community, I know there are. I have a hard time seeing where it "is" compared to what I think it "was" but again, I can adapt and enjoy the game for my reasons, if I chose too.
It is tough, when your favorite source of recreation becomes more BS than enjoyment, but I am reminded by some fantastic friends as to why I fly here, and it is, really, the small part of the community that I have known for so long.
Log in for your game, make it what you want.
Don't waste a minute trying to explain or understand the lame comments from people, oh I don't know, RA for example. Just consider the source and offer pitty. Lifes to short to suffer dweebs.
(btw, eny still sucks, and it sucks on a level far removed from the ability to get the uber planes, it sucks on a control level that just isn't understood)
-
Sorry to see ya go devilM
S!
-
Sorry to see you go my hated enemy :)
Hope you come back after awhile.

The more I read, the more I realize that Scoring (at least ranking) needs to be shut down for a month or so...
If the players weren't chasing rank, this crud wouldn't be happening.
-
Ra... that was tasteless. He is just burned out.
I suggest you remove your post.
S! DevilM
-
seems some people would rather post than play.
tired of these goodbye posts.
-
Sorry to see ya go.
KurtVW is right, though most people in the know realize that rank in the game means absolutely nothing.
-
I say get rid of rank all together. You will have more team play, more country defense, etc etc.
S! DevilM

thanks too all for the support, didnt realize i made an impack to the community during my ah carear.
though about everything some more last night and ive decided to leave the option open for return mabey in a few months, depending on what happens with everything.
just had a new baby to raise the total of kids to three, so theres really not alot of time for myself right now, but if things go right i'll probably be back in a couple months, but i think if i return i will probably go rouge pilot for a while, meaning no squad and no one country.
i am interested to see how the other sides fly. and always being stuck on the outnumbered side really took its toll on my interests.
suckie thing is i just got promoted to the fighter wing xo for the lancers, and i will miss them. as i will miss everyone
hope to see you all agian, and next time mabey ill be flying with some of you instead of against .
-
Been there...done that....bottomline, if you aren't having fun, you are wasting your time. Go do something else for a bit and good luck to yah. :)

"thanks too all for the support, didnt realize i made an impact to the community during my ah carear"
I think everyone that has been playing a while has an impact, it's why were all here.
He11, even the guys you love to hate, the ones we all say we "can't stand, now a lot of them have left or are leaving. The guys that used to just make my blood boil, then I couldn't wait to get back on the next night just to fight um!
Aahhh the good ol days.

Although most quit threads sound like a session with Fraser or a eulogy, if traditional feedback is about 11:1 complaints over compliments, does this mean for every thread like this another 10 people quit Aces High without posting why?
-
I had the same thought in my mind over a year ago Misfit... Rank is for girrrrrrrlieees! :D
-
was looking through my past post's
found something.
9/11
what i never realized was when i posted the original post.
never realized what day i was quiting aces high on.
i know i havent forgotten that day.
why did they take the video's of it off the telivision, we need to remember that day, and ask ourselfs again why are we where we are and whats the point:( .
day of terror (http://www.cnn.com/SPECIALS/2001/trade.center/multimedia.day.html)
-
The truth is , that if a video game makes you angry/frustrated enough to do the big "quit" thing , then that is exactly what you should be doing.
It's supposed to be fun - log on , have some fun , log off.
Have a break, enjoy the kids, play some golf, come back when you feel like it , it will all still be here ;)

Devil,
Sorry to see you go. I understand about being burned out on the game. I have those days too. I just get tired of the same ole' thing too and just log off and give it a few days and come back. Just the other day you whacked me out of the sky. Not sure if you were in a plane or a GV,or field gun. I do remember the message "68DevilM shot you down".
Come back when and if you want to. Take care and catch up on the those things that you are missing out on.
