Title: All's Quiet in AH.
Post by: bustr on May 23, 2012, 07:14:05 PM
This is the quietest I can remember leading up to a game release. We historicly make up our own rumors and trolls but, even those haven't been up to caliber or frequency of the past. Usualy we don't give up this easy when someone ask's HTC to toss out a bone. We got two nice Bratwurst, then everyone politely said thank you and played nice.

Do we need to get you guys on life support and pass out whizz and vinigar pills? Hitech must have bought a new ban stick with a nuclear powered "Insta-Clobber" troll seeking turbo core.

HTC, if the time is available and it won't impact anything negatively.

It would be nice if possbile to see even a cropped off teaser shot of anything new from the upcoming release.

Thank you.

I prefer my ban stick clobber with an old fashioned wooden stick if I have a choice..... :salute

Whining and trolling won't make the planes come out any faster. I should have brought HT some Craggenmore to speed up productivity when I was up there last weekend.

Except you been only trolling since you haven't played the game in 6 tours, you had plenty of practice.

Wow! Anyone notice the Boss don't even turn on the Funny Grass?

Looks like a number of wishes for mission changes from over the years. Maybe it's a good thing we have never had too many Ctrl-I feed back lines. Thats just more things we could drive Skuzzy nutz with in the forum.

Player: Waaa how come my max dedicated says my vid card only has 488M ram? I bought it with 2G to play your beleeping GAME!!
Skuzzy: Someone else writes the game. Max Dedicated dosen't mean what you think. Send me a DXDiag report.
Player: Waaa I'm holding my breath until you turn blue.
Skuzzy: In that case your Doctor can have your DXDiag and my blessings.

Still think if GPUZ can monitor max dedicated and dynamic vido memory used........here Mr. Hitech Sir, a nice stick to beat the Dork with ..........

Bustr,

The grass is turned on, look farther back.  That patch near the clipboard is just bare from all the pacing back and forth Skuzzy is doing anticipating the "Ruin't teh gam3" threads he will have to lock.....  cigarette butts laying around too   ;)

I saw a V2 rocket site, you guys need glasses.

Post by: bustr on May 24, 2012, 02:00:09 PM
Did anyone notice there are 7 CV and Ports surrounding the HQ along with capturable feilds behind the HQ? One port is so close to the HQ you can spend all day shelling the HQ with 8 inch batteries. It also looks like strategic end runs to capture backfeild space or hit the HQ has been introduced.

We is "Boned"!!

Looks like the strat guys have a map that allows them to play in the backfeild at will along with generals being able to plan deep penetration missions worth the trouble. I couldn't find any Factory City strats. Wonder if the scoring for bombers has been changed to reflect how important each capturable feild is to the country in ownership of it?

You gents might want to stick your noses up to the monitor and really look at that clipboard Hitech pasted into his teaser. Looks like a dedicated group could turn half that country into a strategic "Heck Hole" in a few hours if everyone was too busy spawn camping and furballing to be bothered. B29's will be cursed poop monsters on this map laughing at the lame furballers. Kind of reminds me of a bomber ally.........

Some of you bomber and strategic guys take a close look at the map.

Oh no, you stand corrected those aren't for Carrier Groups, they are for Submarines  :neener:
Title: Re: All's Quiet in AH.
Post by: bustr on May 24, 2012, 02:28:02 PM
Looks like bunches of "Tokyo Express" alleys for Sub's to hunt in. Or bombers.

Looks like you can't move a fleet through enemy territory without tickling radar all the way. But, it also looks like you can capture a few fleets and have a big fleet battle near the HQ. Map looks like it was designed for ease of mission planning and causing more conflict than hiding. Wonder what percentage of the map do most of the DAR circles overlap? Anyone think shore batteries have been updated in any manner for this release?

Imagination is a terrible thing to waste.

Yeah nobody will bother to fly in through the back feild with B29, or capture a rear airfeild or port for a foot hold, or see the chains of bases leading to the HQ each with a port and CV group they can capture along the way. Or the possiblity of fast deep intruder raids to the HQ with Mossi16. Wow, is that I big letter "C" 3 sectors in front of the HQ?

I suppose after capturing one of those airfeilds to the front line far right or left. No one would mount a massive NOE blitz raid to capture any of the rear chained fields leading to the HQ back feild right after their bombers put out dar at the HQ..... naw nothing going on here at all.

This is probably Hitech's "Sand Box" map to develop his new aircraft and vehicals and we were never supposd to look very close at it. After all the big "C" left the game years ago in favor of giant Factory strats.

Yep Hap's correct. I just need a new pair of depends and a visit to my opthamologist becasue this game never changes.

Any of you who works for a company that you are a public face for the company, spokes person on the WEB or an employee with a disclosure agreement knows if Superfly posts even this. HTC allowed him to make a public comment within a boundry in a positive manner. And Superfly has better things to do than mislead us for kicks. So does Hitech.

Hey isn't it about time for an Aces High 3.00 executable to be released? (2.xx P.xx) is just so last week and we know there ain't No Sheep in those thar hills Hitech. Not even a single easter egg with tentacles. Hey when's the last time we saw a mother ship or a mutha anything???

Ok so Hap was that negative and despondent enough for yas? We need pictures of sheep in our cockpits for those Oh So long and lonely flights across the map. I want pictures of those Wild and Wooly Badger Face Welsh Mountain sheep. Thems some pre Mideval feral sheep from Wales the country of St David.

Yeah, yeah and we need the Swedish Bikini team back. I always loved flying over them on lift off while they were playing volly ball off the end of the runway. Oh when the jumped up and down waving us on our way. Nomde used to try and make me understand those were just the AH sheep and I had an over active imagination.

If I post this in "Wishlist" I am afraid no one will see it.

Please--for the sake of every mission planner--PLEASE give the planner the option to boot or refuse entry into the mission for individual players.

This may seem insignificant but can and will save many problems that mission planners have had in this game since missions were possible.  For those up to no good, problem children, and those who continually join missions but refuse to go along with the mission details that easily jeopardize the mission itself need to be excluded at the option of the very person who planned and posted the mission to lead it.  The coding for the mission itself need not be anymore difficult than the mission planner being able to either click a button to eject or a "dot" command to "dot"eject <name of ejectee> that all 8-player hosts had at their availavility years ago..


Thank you in advance.

HiTech, I have noticed you are using 45% of your video card memory just sitting in the tower. Your Frame rate is in the low 70's but you are not flying so that's a wash.
I'm nervous that the new add ons and patches and whatever else may come out of it might once again cause some video issues or the inability to use some eye candy settings unless
I upgrade my box.

Thoughts and comments or any kind of hints?

Thanks
