Title: What do you expect for your $15.00
Post by: nexus69 on March 14, 2007, 12:55:02 PM
Every time I log into the forums I read about players complaining about this and that, about the game, the players the HO's, the maps etc.  

 What do you expect for the money you pay?


I for one would like to see more variety of maps in the rotation.


Now it is your turn. What do you expect for the money you pay?

As far as I can tell, our $15 is subscription to access the HTC servers. The game is free, we pay for the online (>8) multi-player aspect. That is what I expect for my subscription, access to the arena's.

I expect to be Master of my Domain, flying around wtfpwning all whom dare cross my path, smiting them down like the Hand of God, landing elventibllion kills per sortie with a grim sense of satisfaction at my excellence, leaving my chair only to get more Mead. And once I get a wench I shan't have to leave my chair again.

Same here.

The only thing I don't like is the arena limit because it keeps me from flying with my squad sometimes.

I expect people to actually fight.

seems all people do anymore is run away if you try to fight them, that or they come in 10k higher than than you and keep trying to dive down on you and then run away.

It's pretty sad that I seem to run out of gas chasing people more often than I run out of ammo because of shooting at them.

You mean best $1080 you've spent in the past 6 years... :D

Playing this game is a priviliage. Not a right.  The co-founders own it, and they have every right to charge more for this great product, but don't.

I remember an Air Warrior bill from way back in the early 90's close to four figures - for just 5 months of gameplay.  You've paid that for 6 years of AH. :)

For $15 a month, I expect access to online servers to play the game.

For them to KEEP getting my $15 a month, there had better be occasional additions to content and improvement which will keep my interest in the game.  Been here for over a year.  That's probably about the same amount of time I had invested in DAoC, AO, Shadowbane, and some other MMOGs.  Also about as much time I put into BF2 until aimbots and rigged servers got ridiculous.

A lot of time and effort seems to be directed at ToD.  I hope for the best, but looking at the populations in the various war arenas, AvA, and SEA.... I'm not betting any money on it.  The break up of the MA also does not have me convinced, considering how EW, MW, and the two LW have evolved.

A better, or newer game comes along, I move along.  What I consider good games don't come along all that often.  Most of the offal that game developers excrete these days, not counting the vapor-ware, isn't worth the CD it's loaded on.  Pretty eye candy but limited, or very linear, scripted playability.

Maybe I'll move to SHIV online play in two weeks.  Maybe it will be PotBS this summer.  Maybe it will be ToD (also in two weeks?).

But, interest is starting to wane for me.

Was paying more for less for a long time (except one event over there). Flying with old friends, and meeting a few new ones makes the 15 bucks not even seem to be an issue. If we were in a bar for one night a month...I'd sure spend more buying them drinks. :)

HT. Ya done good with the direction you've taken this. The general concensus with us is that this is where 2.77 should have ended up, instead of the mush and bug riddled...ah..never mind, not going there again. :)

Being a new AHII'er I am enjoying the game.  Flew GA aircraft for 10 years and ultralight for 50 hrs and flew some rc. I have met a lot of good folks and have enjoyed trying to apply the flying skills I acquired in real life. The basics apply but you never know what the other guy is going to do. I die a lot but each death is a lesson. My doctor turned me on the this game and we fly together a lot. I wonder if I could get him to write me a prescription for 20 hours of AHII a week.
I doubt the wife would go for it. Great game!:aok

$15  doesnt even buy  a good steak at a restaurant, and if it did, i'd crap that out in a few hours.

$15 is a little more than 2 packs of cigs here, and they kill me.(I just quit.)

$15 is a little more than the cost of a movie that might suck.

$15 is the amount i  spend a month to play this game ANYTIME i want for AS LONG as i want during the course of a 1 month period.

I get to meet new people from all over the country and world that all share the same interest in aviation and WWII.

And in all honesty i've never played a game that could aggrevate me to no end, or bring feelings of supreme triumph all in the course of a hour.

...what would I fly then???

Anyhoo..  The $15 I spend is a lot cheaper than my bar tab and less stressful on my liver.

All I want is good fun..  I fly my game and let people fly theirs.
