Title: ...bored...
Post by: Spyder on September 03, 2009, 06:10:30 PM
I am starting to get bored of this game. I have been playing for weeks feeling like this, and it is just getting worse. I scroll down the fighters list, and one by one, I name a reason why I don't want to fly them, reasons like under modeling, terrible performance in LW, because everyone flys them, ect. Scratch fighters off the list then.

    Bombers? No. I don't want to fly for 15 minutes to bomb something, and have it pop even before I land. Perhaps gunning? No. too tired of the one hit wonders that light 2 of my 3 bombers up on one pass. Scratch bombers off the list.

   GVs? Yes. GV fights are fun, they are the only thing holding me on right now, but they only occur once every 2 hours or so. Attack one of there bases? No. Why would I want to drive for 15 minutes to only be picked by 3 IL2s? Maybe drag out the old osti and take 'em down? Nope, there's an m8 in the trees over there waiting for me to do that.

Maybe I should take a break?

The game is as much fun as you put into it. If you wait around for someone else to supply the fun your in the wrong game.

Under modeled, over modeled, how would you know? Do you have a fleet of warbirds at your own private airport?

Have you mastered any plane in the game? I've never heard of you, and eventually you hear about ever one of the good sticks, who are you?

If you are bored, you need to hit the training arena. Because no one has ever gotten "bored" with this game while racking up lots and lots of kills in a plane they like. Those who will tell you so are big fat liars. Who could get bored of motoring up behind their fellow players and ruining their sorties?  It is only boring when you are getting shot down.

Try a different arena for a while.  Come out of Late War and play a little while in Early or Mid...maybe stop in the AvA if anyone's in there.

Come to think of it, if you hide behind a shade here on the BBS I don't want you in my arena.  Buh-bye.

Thats the problem. I cannot find a plane I like.

I do visit EW some times and have fun, but there usually isn't a fight in there.

I was thinking out loud. Sorry for the shade but it would be best if you didn't know who I am, so I can use it later. It adds mystery doesn't it? And trust me, im not the only one that uses one.

They can all be killers if you learn them and show a little sense in your engaging. And no matter how "uber" what you fly is, there will always be days when your AHII session ends with hitting alt-F4 in disgust. That is the price of playing this game. So one might as well fly what one likes!

I've never hit alt f4 in disgust. I've only hit it for the nook.

On another note, I got bored at beginning of 2008 and left for a few months, I played COH. I never stopped thinking of aces high, just needed a break, when I could fight it no more, I came back, took 9 months off.

mystery? naw, lack of balls maybe. Afraid of what people might say or think....in a game world  :rolleyes:

Sounds to me like you have "hit a wall" more than you are bored. You keep doing the same things, and you keep dieing. The suggestion that you spend some time in the TA is a good one, maybe even hook up with a trainer for a few secessions.

If you want to quit because you're bored, try a new flying style/bombing style. Jump in any plane, and hit up a hot enemy base, see how long you last. That's always a blast when you're in a spitfire or so.

The Fugative, you are right, I don't want people thinking im a badass that gives tattoos for a living. Thats why I have a shade. And I did not say that I suck at the game or die alot, I just said that I have grown bored of the options the game gives.

I love this game, and I will not say otherwise, im just wondering if I should take a break or not. I think I will, see ya in 2 weeks  :aok

P.S. Stay away from my goat!

Always good to have more than one hobby. Especially one out in the fresh air.

This is SO true.  I haven't flown since the weekend after Dayton (July 25th-ish), but every day since then I have found myself on the golf course...EVERY day.  Now that dove season has opened...I might be in the fields occasionally.

I agree Thunderegg, I am still back at his first post about how the planes are modeled.

Spyder you made a comment about how some are over modeled and some are under modeled,
Again what are your qualification to say that???????? Are you a RL pilot by chance???

Sheesh - thats it, now I'm agonna have to kill you all errrrr, hold on, thats not quite gonna work out. I can see where he's coming from actually - at some times it does get old doing the same thing all the time - which is why HTC includes GV's/Buff's etc.

I dont usually last very long in gv's, not much longer in buff's, and certainly shorter in fighters, but basically, I do what I want, when I want, in whichever plane I want - works for me, but then I'm easily pleased.

Rumor has it that Waffle's working on the artwork for this new addition. Think HTC will perk it?

<S> Sir,

May I suggest flying with a few guys in a few missions and doing some "Crazy" missions.  I invite you to come fly with us.  Maybe you will catch a mission that challenges you..or maybe you will just laugh your tail off listening to some of my squadees joke around.  Whatever you decide, you will be considered a guest and part of the "Band of Brothers" while you fly with us.

Respectfully,

1DOGFITE/Group Commander
