Duel in 109's... works fine with KS on. First to rip their own wings off wins.
-
well thats easy to fix switch fields. they should set up a way to report the kids that are vulching
-
more like thank the bunch of big whimps who complained and whined and moaned about said teenagers untill this was put into action.
-
In fairness, KS was on in the DA for the first 3 years I played this game.

I forgot, you'll always have to be correct. But, pssst. The wimps were the one vulching.

you can disagree all you want but it was enabled a long time ago. This game and some players have been around a tad longer than you have JimBeam.
ack-ack

The problem.
Isn't that KS is on in the dualing arena, it is what the dualing arena was used for, i.e. free for all 1 sided quick kills. This has been a continuing problem for quite some time.
It used to be tried in the training arena. We had trainers there quite often, and they had eject privs. Guess what people abused the training arena as a result had to lower lethality so people would not use the training arena for somthing it was not designed for.
DA: It was designed for prearanged 1v1 fights. Once again a few people who wanted to just quick furball from 1 field moved from the training arena to the DA. Quite frankly there never have been a lot of people this method of game play. Once again they use the arena for somthing it isn't designed for. So as this style of play was used, suddenly a few people are complaining that some one else is disrupting there style of play, but there has never been anything in the design of AH for how they wish to play.
As for the excuses I hear about how that style of play is great "Training" I say BS. If it was just learning, the training arena is much better suited, After a quick 1v1 from heads on, It could be repeated with out even taking off again. What is realy being asked for is a start in air continious action shoot anyone type fight. And then a few people tried chaning the basic rules to have to "Check Six" someone before they could engage. So now Im asked to enforce a rule that HTC has never said was a rule.
And there quite frankly is no way that style of play can work under the honor system. All it takes is one person not adhearing to it, and every thing breaks down.
2nd there is no way HTC can police the DA. The best we could do is add 2 more fields to the terrain that are 1 or 2 miles apart, with no ack or other objects other than a hangar or tower. Vulching could still be an issue, but at least you could now who can and cant vulch you.

that's great, and I've been here since early 2002. KS was on for years, and things were fine. Read the quote hub posted. The DA isn't the furball arena; DUELING implies 1v1. If you want to fly KOTH, show up for them. They run twice a month. You'll probably learn something - you won't find that many good sticks in one place anywhere else.

Speaking of..... the REAL King of the Hill is going to be 8/8/06 9pm EST in the Special Events Arena. Then another 2 weeks from today on 8/14/06 3pm EST.
If ya' got a few hours to spare (typically 3ish hours, but i've seen 7) or can just pop in for a few rounds, come give it a go. The King of the Hill is one of the better times one can have while playing AH. You will find most ego's checked at the door, and it's just a fun time for all. It's not who win's the KOTH, it's the KOTH itself that is a blast. You just want it to keep going all night it's so fun. The best fight's i've ever been in, or watched have been during a KOTH. It's a blast to just sit in the tower and watch it in CM eye God mode. I've seen some incredible fight's.
This one time I watched ManeTMP fight and kill 'round 10 guys, one after another. It was like a chinese martial arts flick. One turn; BOOM! Merge; BOOM! Kill after kill, one after another. Not sure if he won that round, but it was some of the best flying i've ever seen. The timing of it all was perfect.
Stop in the Special Events Arena next Sat. night 'bout 9pm EST and get ready to fight.
KOTH Time WOOOT!!

Answer: To DUEL
If killshooter is turned off then someone would ask "Please turn killshooter on so we don't have to fly 7-8 minutes to Duel?"
Welcome to BBS Jimbean - Switch all power to front deflector screens.

sounds like AH is ready for an air start FFA room :)
-
This style of play can be had for free in the H2H arena.
I agree with HT.
I pay $14.95 per month to be able to use the DA for what it was designed for, and not have to worry about some twits making up rules (check six etc) or be subject to vulching and harrasment.

I was in there more than you are/were ever aware of. Move along now. I was being sarcastic, this post proves it.

Maybe I'm not sure what KS is but 3 months ago a green icon could shoot down another green icon without taking damage to themselves.
Now if you shoot a countryman you take the damage. this was implemented about 3 months ago

It was a request by paying customers to their service provider to help them with a problem with people that did not pay yet for the service. The service provider decided that future, but not yet paying customers are more important than the few with the problem. So, he punished the customers that pay for the cervice and destroied the DA. Well, not destroy, but put it back the way he wanted it to be. EMPTY!. Then people like you made some retarded comments like the one above, and confirmed that the service provider was right in his decision.
You may like or are used to putting your head down and leaving to go to another field. Then after they come there you leave again. Thats fine. I and some others don't, so we asked for some help. Your comment above is uncalled for.
