I'd like to see cross country PM go away. There are several reasons this would be a good idea. It would also be a easy fix to many common complaints and probably make skuzzys job a lot easier. Not that he would want that :)

I enjoy talking to people cross country and on 200.

Didn't say anything about 200. It should remain the same

So cross country pm's are bad, why? explain.
Without it I cannot pm people about FSO information or missions, or to wing up.
How do I contact them? Sure I can text openly on country, when if they don't see it? start spamming?
-
Why remove a useful feature just because some people can't (or won't) self-moderate themselves? I'm capable (most of the time) of reading something and not feeling the need to respond...almost did to this thread. :D

.p surfinn great flying, mate, i knew that fluffin FM2 couldnt be anyone else <S>

This would not stop your paranoia. CVs would still sink, and you would still refuse to believe they had been found by 'legitimate' means. ;)

I enjoy the nasty PM's

Except for a couple players (who I will not name), I enjoy getting PMs from most players.
-
The game would lack a certain emotional vibrance only possible with a personal communication either good or bad. Ch200 in some ways is just an extension of this forum akin to Twitter. I will venture if PM and ch200 were eliminated a block of customers would vacate the game soon after.
The Boys Scouts of America always need good leaders if a clean environmet is your goal.

CVs will be found by legitimate ways. They are also given up in Pms. Nor would this stop that kind of behaviour intirely but it would sure cut down on it or at least make them pay another 15$ a month for the ability to do so. Also the nasty Pms would stop, and before anyone says it yes I know I've sent my fair share of nasty Pms myself.
Butcher there is a great way to talk to who you want to right here in a PM form. Oh and by cross country I meant no PMs to red guys but no problem on your very own country. Cant imagine you would want to wing up with a enemy :)
-
Are you going to disable all cross country channels? Channels like 201, 202, etc? Are you going to (somehow) disable all Teamspeak and Ventrillo servers?
-
If a Pm is unwanted then tell the sender. If they continue then warn them. After that report them. No need to get rid of it as it is a great communication tool for those who use it appropriately. :aok
-
I will sometimes PM someone who just shot me down to give them a personal salute. When used correctly, it adds some sportsmanship to the game. When used incorrectly, you have the option of reporting.

I will never buy in to punishing everyone for the actions of a few. I get to deal with that bs at work, don't care to see any more of it in my hobbies.

You can turn off channel 200 by tuning to another number and I believe you can stop pm's by right clicking on
The text buffer. If they are abusive you can also right click on their handle in the roster and squelch their text or voice. If their colorful metaphors get out of hand you can right click on their handle and report them to HTC.
If you send a compliment to your opponent........9 times out of ten you'll get one back.
I like chatting with my opponents. It is just a game. Have fun!

Worst .........Feature in the game and where all the "spying" comes into play. Let them go teamspeak there rears off or play phone tag. Why enable this in the game? It's just stupid. If you feel like talkin to a person on another side go sit in the o 'club and talk till your blue in the face..

Whether we like it or not Aces High is as much social media as it is a game. If customers want to pay HTC good money to spend an evening talking to each other, who are they to refuse.

I nifty little thing I just found out about.
You can turn off any channel or pm's or system messages if you like even country channel.
1. Bring up your map
2. Hit the radio button .."/"
3. Move mouse into radio box and right click ALL in the radio window.
4. Click on edit settings
5. Walla :aok

Quite often I rush eagerly into a fight without sufficient SA, resulting in ramming, crashing or whatever, spoiling the other pilot's joy about a decent fight. I feel a PM is the correct way to apologize for my poor flying rather than spreading my lack of talent on 200 - which the opponent might even have disabled.

BS. No matter what is done people will always blame a spy if their mission faces even token opposition.
Probably the best way to get rid of the spying accusations would be to have dot dar extend all the way to the ground, showing even tanks and for CVs to show up for all sides on the map. Short of that, deal with it.

Wouldn't help. I got accused of using "spies" when I 'magically' found multi formation bomber missions at 20+k, which were making full sector darbars creep across the map for half an hour at least. On more than one occasion. :lol

agreed! Why would you PAY to play a game that involves combat if you DON'T WANT TO FIGHT????

Its not BS.
People don't have to do anything but lift a finger and pm a friend.
No side switching.
No running around with 2 accounts.
A simple PM can wreck a perfectly good evening for allot of people. Basically the game itself enables the griffers of all types to screw with anyone. Also Squad Vox shoudn't be allowed cross country.
It shouldn't be allowed period.
-

To watch others. :old:
To enjoy the thrill of being chased, looking back, and going :neener:

If the PM results in combat, it was a good thing.
Stop trying to avoid any fight and learn to actually fight.
Let me put it this way, I remember when bases were taken with a handful of people who knew what to do to take it even when opposed. Now we have groups of 50+ using crude saturation bombing who give up and auger if their "mission" is detected. Their nights ought to be ruined.

Anytime you like Karnak ....you obviously have no idea what you are talking about.
Let me say it MORE clear for you ....PEOPLE ON OPPOSING SIDES SHOULD NOT INTERACT WHILE PLAYING THE GAME>!!!! cept for 200

Again, very clear. .)

Its flippin ridiculous, :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Stating such does not make it true.
Sorry, but I like to be able to chat across sides. I don't give a damn about who wins the "war" though. You're asking to get rid of something I factually like for hypothetical reasons, reasons you yourself in this very thread acknowledge are easy to bypass. So, I lose something I like and you gain nothing.
Sorry, that is a bad deal.
-
Also, 200 is an unacceptable alternative. I am not politically loony and I do not wish to spend my night looking at morons spewing about how Obama is an evil, Kenyan communist, atheist Muslim bent on destroying the United States from somebody with an apparent 3rd grade reading comprehension level.
Note that due to the above type behavior many people, like the guy you just had a great fight with and want to chat about it with him, are not tuned to 200, rendering it even more useless.
-
It's always the paranoid hordlings that whine about cross country chats, i'd like to see the numbers on how many people were busted for spying/switching to sink cv's or control them.

Wrong all seeing 1.... I gain comfort in knowing that you will have to PM some 1 else on the phone and that the game dose not make it easy for you or any one else ..with a simple PM to ruin some guy/s or a group of guys night because you have a different agenda.
IMHO the bad out weighs the good and it shouldn't be allowed period.
I acknowledge that they will have to try some thing else besides having it handed it to them buy the game. That it would make it more difficult to talk to some one on the other side ....yes.
It makes no sense for the game griffers to have this access.
:cheers:

What is a game Griffer? Is it someone, or a group that intercepts an incoming attack to defend the target?
I know how long it takes to climb to 10k, 15k, or 20k in buffs. I know how long it take to build to top speed. I know how long it takes to cover the 25 miles of a sector. It's pretty easy to watch a dar bar and figure out where and when a raid will hit. There is no need to stop cross country communication.

More Blaaa

I guess you will just have to send him a hearty :salute then to bad!
You remind me of the guy who drives 65 in the fast lane an holds up the whole freeway while saying I"M doing the speed limit so what if this is called the passing lane.
Freeway Monitor,

The guys who are going to grief you are in squads and have vent or teamspeak servers already. Your fix does nothing to stop the behavior you are hyperventilating about. All the change would do is stop people like me who use it as a way to chat about a good fight from being able to do so. Ok, it would also stop much of the PM abuse from sore losers.

How so? You're the one trying to do the monitoring and censoring.

Actually I'm make a reason not to have monitoring or censoring ... by not allowing the bad behavior to take place.

No, you are not allowing the good behavior. The 'bad' will still happen, as explained several times now. ;)

Blocking all communication is defacto censoring.
-

The fact the the game enables the bad behavior is worse.
Bad out weighs the good. The fact that there is bad it should be removed for the good of the whole not a few chatty patty's
In anything in life which behavior should be cut out bad or good?
-
No, you're wrong. It is better to let 100 guilty men go free than to imprison a single innocent man. You would institute a policy that would not affect the issue you are concerned with and would greatly, in a negative way, affect the issues you are not concerned with.
Soloers like Lusche and myself are not the spies, on the rare cases there actually are spies. The spies are from "win the war" base grabbing squads who have dedicated communication channels.
If Bob and I have a great fight and want to analyze it we need to be able to chat. We cannot use the phone, we don't know each other. We can't use TeamSpeak or Ventrilo, we don't know each other.
The game is not facilitating spying.

It is absolutely doing that very thing.
No its better to leave the cancer in your Colin... then have it removed for the good of your lymphnodes and the rest of your body :rolleyes:
In short if you wanna talk to the guy you just had a great fight switch sides and be buddy buddy in AHFlying Soap Opera Game.

Spying is not cancer on the game. It is neigh non-existent.
The cancer on this game is the mass number of people who will do anything to avoid combat that isn't predetermined to be successful for their squad.
In short if you wanna talk to the guy you just had a great fight switch sides and be buddy buddy in AHFlying Soap Opera Game.
Can't. Twelve hour side switching limit.
-
If you want to have fun evenings that can't be spoiled by imaginary spies, learn how to fight and take bases that are actually defended.

12 hour switching another good thing the game has done. I wish it was 24 hours.
Removing cross country pm's and squad vox across countrys will be a great move on the part of HTC.
I welcome it and look forward to it.

You are actually asking to change the game and remove something that players value for imaginary, and pathetic, reasons because you're too lazy and incompetent to actually fight.
It is abundantly clear that the balance is whacked in that the clear best way to take a base is to have 30-50 unskilled lemmings in Lancasters or P-51Ds attack from extremely low altitude in which all of them are assured of only one thing, never getting any better at fighting. Unbelievable.

Kind of curious to know what Megalodon's ingame name, I see a stereotype here and betting he's a 51 driver who rarely is seen in combat.

I will extend the invitation to you as well :aok

Megalodon never heard of him and dont plan on wasting time on such lemmings.

I heard of him, I like him, I know his in-game name, he is a very good pilot, and if you read through his posting history you will learn a lot of history from both pictures and words. :aok
Why must you refer to good pilots as lemmings? Consider your way. :old:

Still not telling your game ID? "Megalodon" is 9 letters, so that can't be it.
I don't tune 200. Would rather send you a p.m. :D

If I ain't heard of him he is nobody. :lol
Move along now Gents nothing to see here.

Honestly there is too much nationalism already in aces high. No need for a comm equivalent to the east side of the Berlin Wall in Aces High.
We should be doing more to promote comradery between the 3 countries we have. I hear a lot of animosity towards rooks and knights but rarely anything positive.
Those who routinely alternate countries, even those squads who do it on a regular schedule seem to get singled out the most with accusations of all sorts of unsubstantiated BS.
