I have chose to stay out of the CT for one reason.......trash talk. A little is o.k, but my god people its worse than a basketball court in the projects. Not so much trash talk as the name calling. Just gets real old. Seems like if u dont play the way the other side wants you too they start in ya. Just want to say one thing cause i know JG will probably be the firts to reply. I think most of JG are a great buch of guyz Storch ,TK, N7, you guyz fly well and are good for some nice fights. Not that i sit and cry at night from being called a name or 2, it just gets old seeing said all the time. If u have an "E" fighter and u use it u "run". If u get in trouble and u head to cover you are an ack weenie. If i get into a scrape with storch and N7 and loose any advantage u dam right im gonna run for cover. Who wouldn't? I know there not gonna fight me one at a time. There gonna jump all over me. I would just like too see the respectable folks that were in CT when i first started playing in CT. I have talked to alot of people in MA and they say the samething. I talk trash to N7 all the time, but it is on a private channel so other people dont think im an ass. Im sure some of you think that anyway. I would just like to see al the BS stop. FROM BOTH SIDES.

there are currently several egos in CT that are only eclipsed by their inability in their flying skills to back it up, amazed some can even close their canopy.
some view a low score in CT as a life goal - LOL
shame, it used to not be that way
.squelch/turn off vox (it is usually useless anyway - has ruined the original check 6) - all you can do

wow.
:eek:

Cannel 1 has been off this week, are you refering to 200? I've never tuned it in so all I ever hear is mostly squad vox...
-
Its a good thing nothing like that ever happens in the MA.If it did then where would all the whiners go?:rolleyes:

Amen to that Eagler.

We have learned to deal with it at my house. I just have to inform the wife I'll be flying in the "grumpy old men" arena (as she calls it) and she puts on her headphones if she's using her computer in the office. Otherwise she goes in the living room to watch TV lol.
-
This is probably my first and only post regarding this...
I will agree with Gary and Eagler and throw my amen in with Bear's.
I remember in the historical arena in Warbirds, thier being only a few ppl that ever really ventured there. With the help of a few good squads and the likes of Lowe, Yt and a few others it was the premier arena to fly in. Why? because thier was gamesmanship along with spotsmanship with a little of old world chivary.
I have watched in the last month of being back in AH that complete newbies being flamed and beat up by the keyboard just on the fact he/she was new to the game.
Quots from the text buffer like "we don't do that in the CT" or "run %&!@, run!" and my favorite "The death of the CT is timidity".......wtf?!
His dime, one plays how they wants.
and who is incharge of marketing?? accountability?
Its a shame i have to turn the text buffer off just so my 12 year old son can play. Christ, he has more maturity then most these keyboard wonders.

Iv heard this many times and every time i say this game really isnt for kids. If he is that mature then you have nothing to worry about. This is a game where you take WW2 planes and GVs and try to kill the other guy and ppl get mad when someone talks chit. This game isnt gory but it is pretty vilent.
-
<------
Some just will never get it. I think I am one of them. I never understood the joys of bashing someone. Believe it or not it is better than it was not so long ago.
-
I have left flying AH twice.
The second time was because of this very issue.
I have no plans to return, which is a shame. The good nights were magical, the bad ones left me with the feeling of "I am paying 15 bucks a month to be ridiculed." When I am looking for my escapism I don't want to feel like I am back in the real world.
My 2 cents.
-
and to think, i haven't even flown CT for almost 2 months now... :eek:
the more things stay the same, the more they stay the same.
might be time to fly a bit more there and put some wannabees back in their place... :rofl

perfect example of the problem
thanks TK for making it so clear

ps

It has nothing skill, gameplay, or who's "top gun". Its people being ****ty to people for no other reason than to be ****ty. I doubt youll be able to put them in there place because they allready know it. Now they have stooped to sabotage of the arena just to get one in on the "other side":rolleyes:
-
I think the CT can, in rare moments, be the best experience in AH. Unfortunately, those moments are rare and most of the time its a yellow water kiddie pool.
The irony is, for all of Bug's and others b****in and moaning about the "unresponsive" CT staff last year, its the player's that are killing it, not the staff.

No worries, I still haven't left my place. I still suck but in my dreams I'm a crime fighting ninja cowboy from Mars Base Alpha fighting against beings from dimension X. So I have that going for me.

First off
Eagler and Bear. Yes the same thing happens in MA, but there is so much said by so many it is far easier to ignore. The biggest reason i am so bothered by all this is because its like watching your old neighborhhod go to hell or your favorite teenage hangout become a buety salon. When i first started AH ct was all i could fly in cause of a weak cpu. It was a arena of respect. The people that would shoot u down would then help u in getting better. Now all they do is bang there chest and cut u down for trying to extend or running for help. Take Shane for example, as much of an a@$%!$@ as he can be he will take u to the DA whoop ya then teach ya so Shane for being a helpful a@#$%!#. I still will not point fingers, but u know who u are. I just wish it was the old way. When people stayed out of the CT because the pilots were good rather than the amount of trash being thrown around.
IF AH IS NOT A KIDS GAME THAN WHY RUN OFF AT THE MOUTH LIKE A KID. SUCK IT UP, GET BACK IN THE AIR AND TAKE IT OUT ON THE FIRST RED ICON U SEE. AS IT WAS SAID BEFORE IT IS STILL JUST A GAME.:confused:

This is also a small microcosm of what society, by and large, is becoming. Disrespectful. You can call it "just a game" all you want but remember we are paying for this experience. There has to be a modicum of respect and maturity or what's the point? I came here for the immersion of combat flying in WWII in one of the most realistic environments possible. There is nothing wrong with trash talking and talking smack. It does *however* get to the point where the smack talk becomes personal and goes to the extreme. You can rationalize it allyou want; just talking smack, trying to goad someone, etc...but the simple fact remains that respect is left out of the equation. Without any of that it just boils down to kids on the playground screaming and throwing fits. Especially when Junior hogs the La-7.

ah man, I thought this was a thread about mid '60s music.

Ditto to what Gary26 and DiabloTX said.
I suggested that ch.1 be permanently disabled in the CT for the reasons listed above, but the powers that be felt that was not required. I dont blame the CT staffers for the CT atmosphere, but I disagree with the decision to let ch.1 stay.
Ch.1 is always defended by its supporters as "some usefull tool for new pilots". In actual fact, it is nothing more than an open sewer for all the trash talkers to use, and thats all it will ever be. Those that dont like the no ch.1 in the MA because they cant rant all day go to the CT and call it home. New players can get assistance from the BB, an "open mike" on ch.1 was never needed.
There is no respect in the CT, and precious little goodwill. I know of a few that have left for the same reason, so make of that what you will, but dont ask for new CT players (or squads) and then wonder why they dont stay.
Cya in TOD if it ever shows up.
Take care.
-
I was in the camp of leaving it turned on beliveing its not fair to the players to punishd by the actions of some. I m seriously rethinking that position.
-
I was originally against turning Ch 1 off, but now that its off in the MA I'd rather have it off that way I dont have to change back and forth when I jump from the CT to the MA.
-
I agree Gary,
!
-
turn ch1 off. if ppl want to chat they can tune to that person, i almost always have ch1 squelched, and find it much more enjoyable, as well as imersive, tho i dont want to seem like an arse when someone wants to make some small talk its just not worth it to keep the flood gates open for "keyboard wonders" who take realism away from the game when goading ppl into fighting their way.

Gee....
I wonder who he could be talking about:lol
Truekill your right....no need to bash the CT in the main BBS...
Looks like even the guuys who still fly it do a fine job here. You want to know the problem in the CT....look in the mirror...

Maybe chnl 1 being turned off will cool some of this.
