You've got to be kidding.
Everyone i talked to last night was having a blast. 14 people at one point on tac, laughing and enjoying the game.
Based on my math then 100% of us were having fun.
It is what YOU make it :)

I'm trying hard to stay in here. Splitting EW MW and LW is ok but 2 LW sux it for me.
I signed up for AH1 stayed when new improved AHII came along but AH III 2 LW sux it for me.
When all the unhappy vets bugger off ........to where ever. No one will know any different about how 2 LW sux it for me.
blah blah blah blah wtf 2 LW killed most me fun in a number of ways
Off peak slow
arenas OFTEN inbalanced .....getting a kick in or ENY'ed to MW planes
poxy same old maps
man! if there was anything close to AH I'd try out their 2 weeks free.

I'm happy, been here since AW as well. Yeah, Guppy has vox.
-
You are correct sir! This AHIII is just not as fun as it used to be. I have fond memories of AHII from just last year. Even early this year was good. Those were the days.
-
i'm happy. well sorry to see all those who don't like the game now go.
-
AHIII I like that one LOL!
-
I'm happier than a pig in a mud hole after a perfume bath...;)

Been here since prior to yourself. Flew Airwarrior from 96 on until AH. Everyone has down times in these games. Take a break, get your perspective back and enjoy.
Key to me is never to take it seriously, as it's just a game. Good people here just like there were in Airwarrior. Is everyone happy? Nope. I don't recall there ever being a time where everyone was happy, going back to my AW days. That would include me back then when I took it too serious at times.
Been there, done that. Won't do it again. As I said. it's what you make of it in here. To suggest as you do that you 'know for a fact no one is happy." is untrue. Are some people unhappy? Yep. Are some people happy. Yep. never gonna please all of us though.
-
i know for a fact no one is happy
No you don't ... your facts are wrong ... I am very happy with all the changes ... as are a lot of other people.
Those who aren't happy ... are those who can't adapt.

HT does survey every night, every hour. Remember, people vote with their feet....And (as Richard Dawson used to say).... Surveeeey Sayssss:
Overall numbers are higher than ever, setting records for logged on totals.
Now hangar queens are up in the air
Channel 200 has more positives and less nastiness than I've ever seen.
Some players seem to think that HT's greatest desire is to screw up their fun. That's pure Hogwash.
HT's business succeeds when the greatest number of people have the most fun. And the voters are saying that for the majority of people, there is more fun than ever.
PS. Your complaint is about 6 weeks behind the curve.

FYI you dont speak for all sir. I am happy. It took some getting used to but, im happy so your statement of knowing for a fact no one is happy is completly wrong. That statement alone completly invalidates your argument.
Its sound more like YOUR not happy and to get YOUR way your trying to convince HTC that everybody feels the way YOU do so that things witll go YOUR way.
I trust in HT's decisions because of his track record. I've been playing since AH1 and played AW, WB ect.
The game is what YOU make of it. no matter when i log on or what arena i have ALWAYS had fun. I can always find a fight or something to shoot.

changed my orginal reply. so what, you want your own private thread about how much you dislike the changes? first you say no one likes the changes, clearly false, then say it is what you know? i'm at a complete loss. why does this thread even exist, i thought we were done with this complaint.....HT recently had the most amount of players ever logged in to AH, it can't be that bad, your still here.

I've been here since 2001, and I've never been happier. The other few thousand people playing seem to be having fun too. Maybe the problem is you?

Obvously you dont know what your saying
And I can reply in any thread i wish. If someone doesnt agree with you they arent alowed to post?
Why is that? could it be that your trying to advance your own personal agenda?
-
I love folks that say "everyone is unhappy and leaving". Seeing higher total arena numbers than ever.
On the maps, sheesh...I will (try to) quit playing until mine is finished. It will be had, having some of the best fun in years, but for you guys...I will give it a shot. :)

Not trying to be rude but I'm just curious, how do you know that?
Was there an official post by HT or his staff anywhere stating this?
I for one have seen a lot lower amount of players since the MA was broken up.

Too funny ... we are telling you that you really don't know what your talking about ... you make the blanket statement that NO ONE is happy ... so how is it you can speak for me ?

Well, in keeping with the not being rude thing, I won't say anything about rocket surgery. :)
One way is simply adding up the arena numbers when I log in. The other way is to ask HT. Subscriptions are up and users are up. It would appear those complaining about the changes are in the minority.
-
The game is what you make of it! I just dont like that twit CptDeath always talking smack like he's all that and stuff! :aok
-
Well slapshot , in two weeks I'll have a map for you and your house will be smack dab in the middle of tank town.......over!?:aok
-
Im still enjoying the game and it (the game) is what you make of it, not what it makes of you. If your not enjoying the game then leave it. If you miss it then come back after a bit, hopefuly a small bit wiser for the experience.

You're playing 8 hours a day. Who's too serious about the game?

I think I have a good advice to you:
Donīt play this game!
This is in no way meant disrescpectful...
You are sounding like an alcoholic who has long lost any fun in drinking booze, but still has to do it. And complains about the headache afterwards.
Just take a break. Go away, play another online game, or even better, do 1000 different things in the "real world". Some people still hold their accounts, you may terminate it (you may even see this as a kind of "punishment" to HTC for all the crap they have produced.)
Some day you may see coming back your curiosity and enthusiasm, maybe because of other changes HTC did to the game, maybe because your own views may have changed and your anger has settled.
Then come back and see if itīs fun again.
I know what I am talking about, that was exactly the thing I did.
Remember: If itīs no fun, donīt do it! Playing a game that just feds you up is a very very very stuping thing to do.

Itīs not about quantity but quality. You can play 8h a day and still have a relaxed "itīs-only-a-game" attitude.
Or you can play just 8h a month and strive excessively for a high rank, constantly *****ing about the game, other players & HTC and accusing evrybody shooting you down of hacking the game.. ;)
(Please donīt misunderstand me: Not that I know if any of you two takes this game too serious)
-
I'm not happy since I don't have enough time to play.
HTC please release "my life" patch so I get to play more.
When finally I do play - I like it :)

I've been here a little longer than yourself.
Had you been on vox with hub, Jaxx, Raptor, Corky, Silat, Nomde, Betty, Kya. Link505, fizzjob and others, you'd have heard a ton of smart-as* remarks, laughter. At some points, the laughing continued while pressing the vox button exceeded the time limit.
I guess some make the "most of what they have" and are happy. You need a break.
Long live Candy Mountain!!!!

I'm pretty bored with AH too...I can't recall the last time I have been in any of the MA's, let alone stay longer than a single flight. I'll keep my account though because I really enjoy scenario's and special events, and i'm looking forward to TOD
-
My two cents. Not happy. Looking for something else. Will leave when I find it.
-
I like it!
It is still airplanes, guns, explosions, and vague yet tawdry rumors of sheep.:aok
-
I've been giving the new changes a chance.... end result for me ?
- It's the same small maps over and over and over again
- Ack hugging seems to be the #1 tactic you see in the MA
- Taking any airfield requires "human wave" type attacks (mass scale suicide runs)
- When people do actually fight, it's mass furballs - oh, you might get 1 kill or 2, but ultimately someone will cherry pick you.
- Most of the "action" in the MA is stalemates with very few fields changing hands (it's stangnant, not dynamic).
It's nowhere near as fun as it used to be - there's less to do, and it's more tedious overall.
I'm spending much more time playing other games now - will probably cancel/freeze my account if things don't get better... only reason why I'm still here is because I'm friends with my squaddies...
Just my 2 cents.

Theres no doubt if your not having fun then its time to quit. Ive quit a dozen times, more or less...and manage to enjoy the game more each time I return :D
-
Do what most of us have done...take a break.
Im not happy with the arena split either, Id really like to be able to fly with my squad/friends consistently. We're split up between arenas now. When HTC makes some changes so I can, I'll return. Til then, Im enjoying the break

I am very happy with all the changes ... as are a lot of other people.
i can up a sorty any night (during peak) and find something enjoyable to do but i can see what some of these fogies are talking about.. for me ah peaked just b4 ah2 came out.. the arena's werent huge and there was 500+ players online during peak.. and for the most part there wasnt a huge overflow of new players watering down the gameplay.. a good majority of the peak time players were atleast average..
since then due to many reasons (old age?, system specs?) a good majority of them players have left and we're left with what we have now.. which is a prettier, but spread thin, watered down version of AH..
One aspect of the game that sticks out to me that has dwindled is the squads.. i mean remember 13tas, hornets, aom, aks, mw's, jb's, giaps, maws, bops, and bk's ect? once great squads for whatever reason.. neither of them is a resemblence of their former selves..
shoot all i'd have to do is find out where u were up a spit5 and search the deck for another spit and BINGO! "theres slappy, this is gonna be good" ..
i could do the same for any member of either of those other squads back then.. now i cant do that.. so i can see why some are disappointed in the game nowadays in comparison to them days..

You have said everyone is not happy which OOZ pointed out is not the case......
I believe he and others who disagree with you are part of "everyone" and this includes myself....
And being part of "everyone" do not speak for me... I'm happy and having fun
-
ive ben doin dsome thinking and i have decided athta you guys need ot stop wining. YHou eihter playh or you dont but you do so shut up. if you dont like it play wow everyhoine else does. maynbe its the alkohol but i think you need to stop wining.

I agree with everything you have said ... I too remember those days and they were fun ... today there is a different fun, and I am enjoying it immensely.
My new found enjoyment is due to the arena split and the MW arena, probably because it does resemble the "old" days ... to me. A limited number of players that are, for the most part, focused ... rather than a bunch of rabid rats at a feeding frenzy running around chewing up everything in sight with no real direction ... just massive numbers.
Before this change ... I pretty much flew "lone wolf" fighter sorties ... since the change, I have participated in more "kaptures" in the past month than I have in the last 2 years ... which isn't a hard thing to do cause in the past 2 years ... I can only remember 1 base capture that I participated in ... Stang's Stuka Capture.
Also, I have started to fly with people that I never flew with before ... I saw their names a lot ... but never flew with them ... and I am finding their company rather enjoyable. I flew with Cooley and his crowd last night ... great bunch of guys.
T-Dub ... this game will ALWAYS evolve and when it stops to evolve ... thats when this game will be in trouble. Evolution brings change and those who can't change ... will die off.
As the game has changed, in all the years that I have played, I have never see HT back off a change ... so all this whining and nashing of teeth about the latest changes is all for naught ... evolution does not go backwards ... and neither does HT.
I have changed ... I am still flying low over the water, but not in a Spit anymore ... its been replaced with a WildCat ... :D ... come find me.
