Title: Thread for those who will never ever be happy with HTC
Post by: Guppy35 on April 12, 2007, 05:40:22 PM
Since the whining has reached another crescendo I figure maybe we can just put all those who will never be pleased with what HTC does in one thread instead of needing to comment in everyone elses thread.

And I'm still not quitting!:D

I'm not quitting either, but I do strongly encourage anyone who is unhappy to do so.

I haven't seen any criticism that was not constructive.  People are entitled to their opinions.  

Naturally, most posts regarding the patch WILL be criticism, because those who are content will tend to not say anything at all.

To those who think people who have issues should just take their money elsewhere, you're being irrational.   They simply haven't done anything to the game you disagree with.  If they decided to replace all the planes with flying clown cars and fairies (no, the C205 and LA7, respectively, do not count), I'm sure you'd have a word or two to say about it.  

Put it this way: if there were no criticism...if everyone thought everything was perfect all the time...you'd be playing Air Warrior still.

Now about those ground textures...

JUst replying here to above comments! I see HTC getting closer and closer to FSX realism. of course it will take upgrading hardware, but you will be doing that anyway.

Maybe FSX on it's lowest settings, never ran mine down that far before.

These are on Medium-High to High Settings in FSX.  For those of you unfamiliar with MS FSX,
and why some of us may be in some disbelief over the first comment.

With tongue firmly planted in cheek, I have to ask… Someone who has made over six thousand post, feels the need to state that people should not comment on everyone else’s thread?

A goal?  Possibly, within reason for performance for an online game, with player setting what level of detail they want client side.  
I just don't see the new version of AHII as evidence they are doing anything like that, which is what I think -VM- and I are commenting on.  

Water in new version seems designed for lower resource impact.  
A lot of nice eye candy added to bases (especially gun pits), beaches (especially near bases), towns, and the broad thick pine forest expanses (which are very well done).  But the wide, dark green patches between everything else are practically bare compared to the old version with it's farms, villas, haystacks, and copse of trees scattered about.  No more barns for GV's to hide in.  Very little cover for GV's.  

Were all those things removed to increase performance and frame rate on lower end rigs?

As far as more realism in regards to those large bare expanses: A few more villages and farms.  The burned out buildings.  Rivers, bridges, roads and train tracks.... that's the kind of things I'd expect in an attempt to increase "reality" or detail.

Took a while, but I played with my nVidia cards to get a color, contrast, and gamma level I can finally live with.   Took a while to find a way to download the Patch that would actually work yesterday.

So there's absolutely NOTHING HTC could do to this game that you would disapprove of?

What is wrong with constructive criticism?  Granted, some have bordered on calling HTC names (the "hangars moved" guy), but outside of that what's the problem?  Or are people just enjoying being internet tough guys?

frosty, no use.

If you have anything even remotely negative to say about the new version or patch, you get labeled a "whiner".

Using that logic, and bringing myself down to that level (for a brief moment, unsavory as the experience is)  anyone who likes the new version and patch with no reservations at all, with nothing but kind words for The Creator, and Offended by any Question of what They have Provided must in turn be devoted lapdogs.  

Thank You Sir, May I Have Another (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKpKSZGSkuo)

Hence, this thread.

There has been only one feature in AH that I disapproved of and that's the hand holding auto-retracting flaps that HT put in the game for those that aren't coordinated enough to raise the flaps on their own.

EVERYONE has thew right to gripe or  complain about any portion of the game they dont like.

The people who complain about whiners are doing nothing short of whining themselves.
Even moreso then the people they are calling whiners.

If they dont like seeing the complaints.
These holyer then thou mental midgets should STFU and just ignore the  threads and posts they dont like.
And if they dont like it.
Then maybe they should follow their own advise and go someplace else

Thing is. Im not complaining.
Im making a statement
Im saying the people who call people complaining whiners make themselves to look like much larger idiots and whiners then the very people they are complaining about.

Do they offer any kind of intellegent dicussion? No
Do they offer ANYTHING other then a whine themselves? No

All they do is start calling out names like a spoiled 4 year old on a playground.

Yea. thats real productive. A real show of intelectual prowess and maturity

It's not that I'll never be happy, it's just that I'm occasionally disappointed.

I whined when the arenas were split and we lost the big maps.  I'm still disappointed that we don't have the big maps anymore but I could care less about the arena split.

I'm disappointed now with the terrain changes.  I think it's less realistic than before but I'll give it a chance hoping for further development.

Any time there are big chages like this the community seems to polarize into two camps, those who like the changes and those who don't.  Soon  both sides seem to dig in and then the name calling and character assasinations begin.  

I didn't used to post on the BBs much before the arena split/loss of big maps/blue line experiment.  When I finally did start reading the boards and posting I began wondering if I had joined the wrong community.  It got pretty vile for a while there as it seems to be getting again.  I guess it's just a normality when there are major changes as I've found the BBs to mostly be a fun and informative place to hang out.

Every one is entitled to their opinion whether you agree with it or not and, in the long run, both viewpoints will contribute to a better experience for all of us.

I guess I'm missing the point of what the name calling and character assasination adds to the discussion other than trying to run off someone with a different opinion.  For my part I'll ignore that, both for and against.  It's just not my style.  I will however feel free to post my opinions even if they aren't the most poular and no, I'm not going anywhere.
