The main reason for playing the game was FRIENDSHIP, friendship of the people in our squad and finding someone to fly with and against.
Now with all these arenas the numbers are so low durning any time other then prime time that 3 players can take a base after base.
My squad is broken apart because we were large enough to need three squads to hold all the names. Now we can find each other without going to each arena and scanning the whole roster in each arena.
So I was wrong, it is the death of large squads. With the death of large squads so goes being able to take base durning prime playing times. Oh sure non-peak times a small numbers will take base.
Some are no doubt cheering about this, the lone wolf type, the cherry pickers.
While the game was without doubt some 1Vs1 combat, it was equal part of team play to take bases and win the map.
Lets see that is, low numbers, no team work, no friendship.
In sixty days my account will end and I will not renew.

I still don't get it. The MW is an ideal spot for large squads to fly together. BoPs use it most and if other large squads used it would be a great place to flight / play.
Just seems to me these other large squads would rather play where they want as individuals rather than together.
-
See ya.
Our squad(s) fly together fine.
If they didn't, I still get to pretend I'm flying a warbird.
That's a wonderful way to spend $15.
See ya.
HONK!

i hate the people who say see ya to these posts..
this guy has a point to make, right or wrong its his love of the game that has compelled him to speak his view..
i don't 100% agrre with him, but i do think the game is going to the dogs over the last year or so..
if these arena changes had been made 2 years ago the early and mid war arenas would have been full of the old vets we used to have(sadly they left in droves after the last major change) you know who i mean..
they would have flown EW & MW.. and left the LW to the tits&tards..
sorry HTC just shuffleing the deck dont make a new game..

Can I have your stuff?
ack-ack

Yup, out of love of the game he spoke his mind. Out of love of the game I spoke mine.
I respect his right to express his opinion. I respect my right to express my opinion.
I even respect your opinion that I shouldn't express my opinion.
Huh?
HONK!

Sorry to see you go Jolly but maybe some time away will do you good, we'll see you soon :p

Needing 3 squads to hold all your members is crazy! Buttttttttt, I'm sure HTC will sort the problem of finding squaddies shortly.

You need 96 guys to take a base? I can name that tune in 10 ;)
I have alot of friends in the game, hard not to make a few after 5 years, and I know it's been said a thousand times before this but if you like the game then you should give it more than 2 weeks to make this decision.

Yeah, I especially liked 'My account ends in 60 days then I'm gone'
Which roughly translates to a threat 'you have 60 days to do what I demand'
If you hate it so much that you can't stand it and you know you can't change it, why are you here now?
If you walked into my office and said "I hate you and in 60 days I'm gone!" I'd have security escort you to your car and pay you for 60 days to be rid of your attitude... Thats the real world once you're out of high school.
I'm sure no body thinks the $30 you're gonna spend in 60 days is worth the greif you can cause in the meantime.

Perhaps, 60 days from now, the arena changes will be tweaked to the satisfaction of most. Until then just play the game for the fun of it. A lot of us "old dogs" are learning new tricks. Give it a shot.
-
Kurt and Grits,
I did not post my views because I had a foolish idea that anything would change. I did so only to voice my views with no tears or anger.
As to why I am staying for 60 days.
I pre-paid my account 6 months at a time by check in person at office, if you pre-pay 6 they give you one month free. So I will stay for the two months just to use up the time I paid for and use up the last month that HITECH gave me for free, well almost for free.

350 arenas seem to help. I saw a couple of large squads on the roster TY for the dhange.
-MI-

Can we clarify something. 3 Squads with the same name does not make 1 squad. It makes 3 squads with the same name.
AH has limited squad size to 32. That's a squad, not 96 guys in 3 squads cause that's....er....well.....3 Squads.
Suggesting that you should be able to take your 96 'friends' and play in whatever arena you choose, seems silly to me. Basically what it says is within Aces High, you want your own country and the right to have all your buds there at any given time.
OK so if I start 11 squads with 32 guys each, can I have an arena of my own? Me and 349 of my closest friends in Flight sims are demanding our rights.
Come on Jolly, relax and remember that there are all kinds of good people in all the arenas. Many of the folks I enjoy talking to are not in my squad that I purposely limited to 12. I get shot down by plenty of them too.
But to suggest that you are giving up on the game because you can't have 96 guys in the same arena on the same sideis rediculous.
Jeez, I thought you had everything under control! :)

You obviously lack the organizational and people skills that the rest of these guys have, Gruppy. You're probably one of those traitors who changes sides, or who actually wants to shoot down other people. Weirdo. :rolleyes:

Sure, but seriously, if your squad couldn't pull it together across arenas, the problem is with your squad....
I've been playing since 2002, and I was VERY used to the big Main Arena... I hated to see it go..
but my squad THRIVES in the new Early arena and we are having a ball.
If you still want to play, and your old squad fell apart, just find new friends and a new squad man, don't quit.
There are friends in EVERY Main Arena. Just take the time to meet them.
My guys are in the link in the sig.
-
I don't like to be agreeable, but that's a good point I haven't seen a great deal since the changes. There are good people on every country, in every arena, at every hour. Sure, there are some sweetheartbags, but they are a minority.
And yeah, if your squaddies won't switch to another arena to fly with you, the problem's not the arena or the planeset- it's you. Trust me on this one.
-
Well the squad I'm in isn't THAT big, we skate right on the 32 person limit.
We rolled into Midwar last night, ended up captureing 3 fields, had an awesome fight with some CV launch AC up north, ended up sinking the CV & calling it a night. We had NO problems with ENY, sides were a bit short for the rooks, but pretty balanced with knights & Bishops.
I flew for an hour and a half, died a few, landed a few, and had more fun than I've had in ages. If your not having fun, maybe you need to change something?
Midwar evenings are a blast, but we need more squads who are willing to change size to even odds.

I agree but what can one do ? lol

The first two weeks of the change were ****ing awesome! Everyone was in the EW arena and there were great fights in there.
Then it all died and everyone just ends up in LW making it much the same as the old MA.
The cap doesn't bother me, i'm off peak so it never reaches anywhere near 350.
The only change i've noticed is a massive decrease in LA dweebs. it's starting to come back up again, but I never get gang-banged by packs of them anymore, so that's good.

that is a bunch of crap.i remember playin AH in 2001 and we took bases just fine with 1/2 the people involved.Anybody else remember those ROCKSTARR missions?in those days there were 100 bishops, 36 rooks and 40 knights.
-
S!
i remember fariz tiffy missions (sigh) those were the good old days..........

Thats not nice. I used to think Hub was a sweetheartbag, but someone told me it was just his cologne.:D
I dont like the new setup as well as the old MA either, but its not that bad. I'm still able to find decent fights. I'd say give it time so HT can iron the wrinkles out!:aok

You suck boss, I thought you liked talking to me!!!

oh boo hoo :cry
the thing is, it takes 10 times as much effort to whine on this BBS as it does to skim through all of the arenas in TWO minutes. quit complaining to HTC if you're too lazy to spend 2-5 mins finding your squad.
that really is pathetic
