Title: While some people quit....
Post by: Butcher on January 28, 2012, 07:46:26 PM
I have found a new love for the game, after a few weeks of disappearing from the game I returned to fly a few sorties - what is there to quit over??

Having so much fun in a tank again, and actually flying! As promised I did fly a 262 into a horde only to ram an La7 :x
Sure the hordes out doing its business, but I am getting used to the new stick and really love the bump maps.

Snapshots, Scenarios, FSO and a main arena for only $15 and some want to complain about it.

Sorry Just thought i'd post a change in attitude instead of the daily whines we see.  :cool:

Beats the HECK out of me.  Some months I only get to play for one or two evenings and even that I feel is worth my $15... <shrug>

I suspect most quit only for a while then return.


It is a very "rinse and repeat game" IMO, so personally I tire of the same ol routine and will leave for several months, but so far I've always returned, maybe I'm an eternal optomist hoping for some change :aok Although the way the game is always draws me back, so it can't be all that bad  :O

Whenever I get "board" I find a hanger queen and fly it around. Or I invent somethen new to try like killing gv's with the 190f8's rockets... the people who quit, have no imagination IMO.

This game is fun. It can be frustrating but the dynamic of playing against real people in a WWII aviation theme that is ever changing bc of the nature of the game, maps, waxing and waning skill of the players, and the updates makes it a forever-challenge. I will quit for good when I no longer want to have fun.

Can't wait for my PC and flight sim gear to get here so I can check out the new graphics and other changes

Also looking forward to trying FSO now I am in a more suitable timezone!

I don’t get people that quit, well I do they quit.

This is a great game full of good people. If you were fighting AI the thrill would have gone a long time ago. Some of the stoke is;

Forming a loathing hatred for someone you have never met, but hate his call sign, the plane he flies or the way he flies. Then one day you have contact with him (change sides, PM etc.) – Hey he’s a pretty decent guy after all, then you <S> him from then on win lose or draw.

Being bored out of your brain until squaddies come on and then the games commence. You demean everything and everything about your squaddies and they you until you’re laughing like a ten year old again.

Apologising for a ram or that you resorted to a HO or got lucky. The PM exchange gets past the obvious and then you wish each other well chuck a <S> and move on.

Being so engrossed in a Country channel text discussion (insert squad or 200 there) that you wish you would never get to the “action” and regret not taking a buff out.

Realising most of the “names” are good people. They just do it better than you.

If you never know any of the above, you’re not getting it. It’s always the people, never graphics updates, new planes, taking bases or landing kills. Get past the modelling, unrealistic manoeuvres and “plane hate”.

I’ve never come into contact with anyone flying that hasn’t turned out to be OK.....in the end.

The essence of Aces High  - make friends, then kill them.

 Where else can you have this much fun for $14.95 and never leave the house.  I am of the age that as a kid an Etch A Sketch was a high tech toy so this game is pretty cool in my book.

"if you're bored......then you're boring".

From some 90s song.
