How many of you are motivated by "name in lights"?
I'd like to see messages removed, I think the "quality of play" could only improve :aok
JUGgler
-
That would be a valid argument if the question what to add it or not, but what's the point of removing it?
What exactly do you mean by quality of play improving?
-
In most cases players will do anything to get the required 2 kills to get their name in lights. Vulch, bomb gvs, ho, gang, what ever it takes.
Removing the name in lights won't stop that behavior, but it might slow it down there by increase better game play
-
:aok probably right jugler. seems to be a big motivator for some of the behavior even since i started here. if i had a nickel for every time i've seen some late war monster pickin and runnin only to see the name in lights a few minutes later i could pay my subscription for a year.
-
But I think the "in lights" message may also be a reason for players to stay in fight for "just one more", especially if a player only has one kill (2 kills is actually an achievement for most players). BTW, only a minority of fighter sorties are being landed at all...

I think that would still continue. People will still want to land their airplane and not get shot down even if no one will see their name in lights. Personally I'd rather land with 0 kills than get shot down with 2, and I don't think I'm the only ones who's like that.

True but it also promotes timid and gang type play. I actually think it would reduce the player base as there are very "few" who care less about validating their achievements across system messaging. less player base would be bad :headscratch: The over-riding desire for the not so "few" youth to be "seen" is paramount to their experience. the youth would need to wait till the end of tour stats to revel in their validation :aok
The only ones who stick around are those with plenty of alt or those with plenty of friends, usually they enjoy both of these advantages
Those of us willing to stick around "without" the advantages are repeatedly sent to the tower by those mentioned above, once in a while you run into a quality engagement but these instances are becoming "fewer and fewer"
Tis the world we live in, it is a microcsym of society, "most want it all" for very little to NO risk or effort! This mindset also diminishes the potential reward :(

I can se where you are coming from JUG but at the same time it's a nice feeling when you land 8 kills and get people to give you a WTG and such. I think that the name in lights should not be removed but possibly increased to 5 kills instead to represent being a one flight Ace
<S> just what I think

This might work, but it might just make people re-arm more.
-
Juggler, why dont you show us what you mean by not landing any kills, you can auger, ditch whatever. I mean if it bothers you that much, then 1 less "juggler has landed x kills" would be appreciated :neener:.

Yep, this.
Anything less (like it is today with needing only two kills) spams the buffer and dilutes such achievements. Increasing to 5 (as in a single-sortie Ace status) would be a little more rare and make it mean more.
I've seen guys run from an engagement after popping their second kill - even with a superior plane and alt/E advantage - just to go land to see their name in lights.
-
Is that really a bad thing to rearm more? I think that would be an upgrade to the game. Currently rearming isn't used by many people because they would rather just land 2 kills or 3 kills a flight and get a new plane. This would make it so they would have something more to work for. Plus I think currently rearm pads arnt used as much as they could.
I would rather keep current system then have NO name in lights at all. Call me egotistical but I really like it when I finally land some kills and get a WTG I know a lot of you exelent pilots just don't care about lights anymore but many of us not so good (terrible fighter pilots like myself) like to have a pat on the back when I get something right.
But I would enjoy the single sortie ace system even more :aok
-
Couldn't it be that increasing the requirement from 2 to 5 kills would just increase the perceived "timidness"? And further, wouldn't the impact be less on those few players whose names seem to implied in this thread, as opposed to the average Joe who is glad of getting his two kills in the lights once every blue moon?

Not motivated at all, I do like to get back and land my kill. (not often plural) It is just the way I like to play.
I do wonder if the "rankings" and "stats" have more to do with the gameplay. After all you get more points for landing the kills, and I think (Going to get shot down here), the points increase expotentially the more kills to land in a flight.

LOL I would bet there is no-one else who bails when things get boring more than myself, but if you will love me more I will fly next tour never landing and never shooting anything :aok
Since laughter is my main motivator I can see plenty of motivation next tour :aok
I could do it in Bostons, or FU88s, maybe goons. I think my point is the quality of everyones experience could improve IF the motivation was a tad less meaningfull :aok

It would be better if players could set the minimum kills it takes to display the system message. I'd set mine at 100. :D
-

Yes, you are going to get shot down :D
You do net get more score points for landing more kills in a single sortie. But of course it will boost your Kills/Sortie number and that's why it has an impact on score & rank
(Just for the record, K/D, or "surviving" in general, is usually being overrated for rank purposes)
-
Yes, you are going to get shot down :D
:neener:
I'm glad you cleared that one up for me. :aok
-
I like to see my name in lights now and then, if I can pull it off. I've done some nice kill streaks sometimes.
I, too, think that the SCORING is a far worse culprit than the name in lights.
Also some of you probably haven't been around that long. Originally any kill anywhere on any other player was listed in the chat buffer. Mid-flight. "Kill 2 of so and so by so and so" "kill 3 of so and so by so and so" or whatever the format was. After a while the increased player base and the chat lag necessitated changes, and they made it only list when you landed 2 or more.
-

Or when a player reaches 5 kills their dot on the clipboard would be high lighted to a specific color for all to see, radar up or down let the HUNT begin! :banana:
I for one would enjoy being hunted in this fashion immensly :aok

anything is possible lusche...hell, one day i might shoot grizz down in a 1v1 but, we could be living on mars before that happens. :lol
i'm willing to bet good money "perceived timidness" would decrease and the actual value of seeing ones name in lights would increase for a majority of the players...sure, those who currently exhibit stupid behavior will continue as they are now...and those who could care less one way or the other will continue as well...but look at this from the newer player aspect...it has the potential of motivating them to somewhat higher standards.
you really like playing devil's advocate don't you? :devil doorknob
-
Name in lights.... what is it? :D :bolt:
-
you really like playing devil's advocate don't you? :devil doorknob
Yes I do :lol
But actually I just like to ponder all possible effects any suggested change may have. And I'm just not sure what kind of effect this one would have, especially on the "quality" of fight or gaming experience. I only know it will remove just one more incentive for the majority of players who (being sub-average and/or new) hardly ever get their name in lights at all. I remember back in time it was a huge incentive for me, a goal to aim for. My first "name in lights" yayyy.... Today, it would have no impact on me at all, even though I'm still not a honorable quality fighter.

I agree. When I was new, it was an accomplishment to land more then one kill for me. Taking that motivating factor away just serves to take an experience away from the new players. I also doubt that taking it away would change overall gameplay at all. Pickers will still pick, simply to get kills. HOers will still HO, simply to get kills. Runners will still run, simply not to let someone kill them.
The real way to improve gameplay would be to make an honest effort to teach a new guy how to merge. How to take advantage of a HO attempt. Etc...
If everyone who comes in here to whine about how gameplay has degraded simply spent a few hours meeting and teaching new or less skilled players each month, it would be a different game. But I guess it is easier to whine. :rolleyes:
-
so...how would you identify a new player? go down the roster and look for a name you haven't seen before then check their score, then offer unsolicited advice on how not to be a timid hoingvulchpicktard? perhaps a few hours a day in the da spanking them until they get it?
sorry guys, but i'm not a trainer...don't want to be a trainer...not good enough to be a trainer...and the few hours a week i get to fly, i am not going to spam the chat channel with "any newbs want some help doing <blah blah>?" then spend the rest of my time trying to explain/show whatever, with the limitations of vox.

You'd be surprised how easy it is to find somebody who would love help and a little training simply by exchanging friendly PMs after a fight. Keyword there is friendly.

well see the problem is that everybody has different standards. and even when it comes to which aircraft to fly there are so many opinions. Me I would prefer everybody learn to fly in a spitfire, hurricane, zero, or any other fighter with a max speed of 200. there there are some who say dont fly those, it teaches you bad acm. so which player is right? what about those who only enjoy gv'ing and hate to be bombed. or those who only want to fly buffs.
I pm a player the other day who I always see diving and running about turning his pony once in a while. his reply was, that's how he enjoys the game. how can you argue with that. his 15 bucks, he has fun, how can you argue against that.
some of you guys want other players to play according to your idea of how the game should be played. guess what, it wont happen. you can argue to death that ho'oing or ramming another plane is stupid. some of us will shoot think it is fun to shoot a plane coming head and will shoot and try to avoid the other players guns. is it stupid playing like that? probably, but heck it is fun as hell too.
so i guess play the game according to how you want to play and stop worrying so much about what the other player does. after all the only reason we play this game is because we have fun.

what if we increase the name in lights kills to say 4 or 5 kills and only display the message to that persons country only. Oh and add strategic bombing into aceshigh so us buff nuts dont get called fun police anymore. Thanks and +1 to getting rid of name in lights!

Then we have to endure twice as many brags disguised as <S> "callsign" events flooding the buffer because the system no longer displays the player's accomplishment.

Sir, do you know what would be te result? Pick n run only to get those kills somehow and avoid every interaction with the enemy when he has only a minimal chance to shoot back, even worse than it goes nowadays. If remove, remove it all.

Hmmm maybe my description exactly fits to you...

I know some people that strive by upping from capped fields, trying impossible reversals, get picked by lack of SA, try again 10 times, then have to justify it on 200 and the boards that is the other players are playing the game "wrong", and try to modify the rules to fit their agenda. But I didn't cite any name.

I feel It's very good motivation for me!
I've only been playing the game for about 8 weeks and I like to have my name in lights. If it got taken away now, I'd want at least $2 a month back of my money. Perhaps more.

I think I agree with you Lusche,so I say why not make it so if you score a single kill you get your name in lights!
This would basiically render the whole thing as meaningless and quite possibly have the effect that Juggler and others are seeking.

that could actually work...strangely enough :lol
the way it is now, it's bad enough seeing "<dorkus> landed 2 kills in a spixteen" followed by a bunch of wtg's...as if it's an accomplishment. i saw someone land 5 kills in a p-40e last night in lw blue...that deserved a wtg.
-
Exactly gyrene.
So instead of taking away that sense of accomplishment,make so simple even a caveman can do it!
The only downside I can see is the text buffer being more active but anyone with 200 tuned shouldnt notice much difference... :D

Hmm, you sound like "it's all good in the hood". I distinctly remember bagging your rtb/afk pony with a jet a while back. It was less fun for you, I could tell from the name calling and 5 days of grief and jabs you dealt out. Honestly, the things I dribble about are bad how? Buzzing around at the edge of a base, zoomming in for the cherry on some dude who is in a fight with 3 or 4 at a complete disadvantage is FUN how? and how is this style any different than vulching and how is this BETTER than poppin your pony with a jet when I was the only green guy around in a sea of red?
Our ideas of fun are very different indeed, I'd say yours leans more towards xbox, and mine leans towards self mutilation.
Using you as an example, I honestly believe if there was no instant system message and no WTGs at the end of your cherry festing you and many others would be less inclined to fly sooo safe! It's just a thought I have, maybe a dream :aok

never owned an xbox. last system I had was a ps2 which i bought to play moh and I think I bought 3 of them.
but now that you mention cherry picking, isnt that what you do in your 262? wait for somebody to get distracted so you can come in low and pick.
looking forward for you to post another meaningless thread so you can get your "look at me" fix.

Now now semp, I find it very telling how you got soo upset over a single incident of me popping your "cherryscalp laiden" pony while you were afk.
Honestly, the pigs and I have gotten on quite well for some time now, I have donated hundreds of scalps to your squad while harvesting very few in return, mostly due to "where and how" I fly and "where and how" you fly!
You have harvested countless cherry scalps from me then I get you 1 time with a jet and you are so butt hurt over it you start the name calling "Azzwipe" was the 1st if memory serves then a week long dissertation on how lame jet-tards are. All over one silly kill, I think if it was just another JUG cherry pik in "your sack" we'd still be friendly :aok
Irony is very Ironic indeed
As far as my jet flying goes, I still do not go to the edge of a base to collect easy scalps, I fly jets against the horde only. Hell one of my favorite things to do is fly "expensive" jets and hunt cheap ones, how many folks do you see doing that? you? Bah! Oh I imagine the jet is waaaaaay to tardish for you<-- very funny indeed as the horde and cherryfest is NOT to tardish for you ;)
You elude to some hypocrasy on my part, I assure you there is very little. So either post proof of my hypocracy or let it go and lets get back to our "1 sided" gaming relationship! Don't look for something that isn't there, you'll go insane.
As far as the "me me me" goes well you can spin that any way you like, but I offer thru example a higher quality fight for my opponents, nothing wrong with wanting the same in return once in a while! Several Pigs offer it up in spades, you should also every now and then :aok
If you continue to have grief with me lets settle it in private, changeup and I have and now our love is blossoming :cheers:

In most cases players will do anything to get the required 2 kills to get their name in lights. Vulch, bomb gvs, ho, gang, what ever it takes.
Removing the name in lights won't stop that behavior, but it might slow it down there by increase better game play
People give a crap about who lands kills? ZOMG HE LANDED 12 HE MUST BE LEET!! sounds like it only impresses squeakers/pizza faces.
I'm all for having better game play, seriously people are going to crazy on "Score" and how many victories they land.

Hehe... this gave me an idea for another analysis: How many 2,3,4 and so on landing messages do we see in a given time, and what's the approximate % of missions ending with name in lights? :D
Think I will take a look at it this weekend :rock
I see a chart on the way methinks.

Are any of you even curious why Hitech as a business decision chooses to run kills landed messages? Juggler do you think your request is a sound decision to help Hitech keep this boat afloat during these economic times? We all know you have recently become 1337 and probably letting everyone know you are more than a pretty face with an itchy trigger finger.
If shane is correct and you can turn off your own and others kill messages in your buffer, why bother creating a post to tell everyone else you think they are loosers for generating kill messages by landing after their sorties? Turning off ch200 would remove much of your drama source and context to some of the landed kill messages.
For jugglers sensabilities so we will stop offending him in the MA's.
Can anyone verify that it is possible to turn off the landed kill messages in the text buffer and the proper dot command. If there is not currently this function, I request HTC coad the function as a check box in the clipboard menu options to act as a perma-squelch of all kills landed messages from any source.
Problem solved....... unless the real purpose of this post was for this newly minted 1337 to obliquely tell anyone who dosen't play the game his way that you are a looser while sliding around Rules 4 and 8.

Problem solved....... unless the real purpose of this post was for this newly minted 1337 to obliquely tell anyone who dosen't play the game his way that you are a looser while sliding around Rules 4 and 8.
I found the oinky button :rofl
My requests are just that, requests. Your little piggy started the oblique and sly insults toward me. This was just a thread of an idea, ever have one? I think being it is a public forum I can post what I desire within the rules. Rules 4 and 8 are skirted by many including yourself.
It is admirable for you to come running to semps aid but it is not required. He can speak with me in private as you can.
It is obvious you have been offended in some fashion, which is remarkable for someone who "just now" responded to this thread. There has been no opportunity to offend you yet. Now that you have cast the 1st stone between you and I. I shall back out of my own thread because it is obvious you are having a melt down, have a good day.
Umm looser is spelled like this----------------------> loser :aok

shane is correct - you can turn off your own and others kill messages in your buffer, as well as the faux <S> via squelch 6 and 1, respectively.
fixed.

In most cases players will do anything to get the required 2 kills to get their name in lights. Vulch, bomb gvs, ho, gang, what ever it takes.
Removing the name in lights won't stop that behavior, but it might slow it down there by increase better game play
It won't improve game play. For example, if people that played AW were to look back without rose tinted glasses will agree that not having your name in lights didn't improve game play. You still had people running from fights, picking, vulching and every else people complain about today.
Player/community attitude is what needs to be changed to improve game play.

With one being able to squelch anything and anyone one wants, there's no need for any changes.
As AKAK states "not having your name in lights didn't improve game play". We have to make our own experience and the squelch is there to help us.

And I did it. A quick survey over 2.81 hour real time in offpeak arena:
769 kills were made during that time. That's estimated about 1500 sorties or about 190 played hours total (based on typical average tour sortie lengths and kills/sortie)
92 sorties ended with a displayed victory message. Assuming the numbers above that's only about 6% of all sorties. On average, a player spent about 2 hours for each broadcast landed victories message.
36% of all kills had been honored with a landed victories message.
I will do a longer (~8h survey) on TT, with more players online.
BTW: Usually about 30% of all sorties are being landed in LW arena, and the average K/S is less than 0.5.
