I haven't been in game in like three years. So I go download it to check it out. So far so good.
Then my son is playing and it freezes up on him. I go over over and hit alt+F4 and a choice box comes up.
What the heck is up with that. It use to be so funny telling the noobs that landing gear down/tail hook was alt+f4 and hearing them cry when they came back on.

:x :x I tell them to keep hitting enter, the faster they will go! :rofl :rofl :rofl

They actually just added that less than a week ago.

I would believe this is the reason why they did it.

Apparently HiTech didn't find it funny for folks like you to harass his potential customers. I can't say that I blame him.

Why not? It's been going on since I came over from Air Warrior. I can understand from HTC's point of view, but closing the game one time is not the end of the world, and MOST likely someone won't be flying a 262 either.
Its a rite of passage, same reason we have "Alt+F4 for nukes" on the b29.

Why not?
I never have understood why people think that just because a tard behavior has been going on for a long time that it should be allowed to go on forever. It was juvenile harassment. Nothing more. It served no purpose except for a few guys to get their jollies.
I suspect HiTech only tolerated it as long as he did because he hadn't thought of putting the pop up confirm box in until recently.

Rite of who's passage? I never fell for it, because I saw it happen shortly after I started playing. I never though it was funny as a new player or now one that has been here for some time.

If they came back.
And that is the reason for the popup box.

This.

troll?
if not, then the fact is alt-f4 is a command that works with every program in windows - it is the quit application command and not unique to aces high. So now you know.

I've been using windows since the first version after DoS. I have never used Alt-F4 to close a program, ever. Assuming that everyone knows that that is what Alt-F4 does is silly.

well, I learned alt-f4 force close command early I suppose. . .

Its a rite of passage, and has always been - the ones who reject it probably fell for it, instead of having a laugh they whine on a bulletin board.

I never fell for it, as I knew what it's function was before I even downloaded the game in Tour 27. Keep trying to justify it though.

Sounds like you are being defensive mr "tour 27".

First, I never fell for it. I'm the kinda guy that hangs out in the background soaking up ALL the information. I see EVERYTHING...ask my kids :devil
While not on the same scale ALT F4 is the same stuff that the "clowns" do to other kids in school just for laughs. Of course they are not laughing as much at the candle light vigils they hold after the kid they kept laughing at lets off a little steam with a .22, .38, or .45 at school. This game is hard enough to learn with out a bunch of snot-nosed kids doing stupid crap just for a laugh at someone else expense.
time to "grow up" Francis

Alt/F4 was old hat in 1995.
Only noobs and the ignorant suggest it in the arena.
-
Alt + F4 to join my plane.
Alt + F4 to drop troops.

Typical response from somebody trying to make excuses for being a jerk. The "Make the objectors out to be losers." method of defense is most often false.
The fact is that most of us saying the juvenile prank is bad for the game never had it happen as most of were well aware of what Alt-F4 did years prior to Aces High existing. I expect that most of us never even received the Alt-F4 advice, at least I certainly never did.
Instead of justifying being a jerk, consider that by being a jerk you make the game a hostile environment to people who are often inexperienced with MMOs. At least some portion of the new players who are given and take that Alt-F4 advice never even bother to log back in. Those were potential customers that HTC will never have a chance with again because some jerk thought getting his rocks off by being a love muffin was more important that civility. Remember what your mother likely told you, "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all."

With all the nasty stuff that is said on 200 in PM's and on the boards you guys are going to worry about the Alt-F4 deal? heheheheh When I first came to AH from AW I was almost in shock of what I saw on the general text channel. And I'm still here. If people dont have the determination to get past an Alt/F4 prank I would think virtual air combat probably aint for them.

Glad to see your worried about someone else's buisness.
Every person who fell victim to Alt + F4 usually logged right back in with choice things to say, but then a month later that same " victim " told a new player the same exact thing. Nohing bad happened from it.
Nice to see people confusing harmless game pranks with real world.....Nice!

There is no confusion on my end, though you seem to be a bit befuddled. Perhaps you'd like to ask HiTech his opinion on it and see if he thinks it is harmless to drive off a portion of the people who try his game.

Couldn't agree more Karnak.

The subject at hand was harmless and didn't cause people to stop playing this game.
I can look up several other topics on here that drive more people away than Alt + F4.

Are you in the Employment of Hitech Creations and can back your statement up?

"I", therefore "you" is the worst kind of assumption. Just because it didn't pizz you off enough to leave doesn't make it ok to do. I think HiTech allowed the Richard Craniums to roam the school hallways long enough as it is...I think it's funny that so many people want to do it...its boorish and smacks of intellectual vacancy.
Friends?

Alt F4 creates a bigger reaction on the forum than in the game. As usual.
-
That would be because they just leave.
