Give me 45 min got 40 miles to go I'll give you a target :neener: LOL :salute

Scott, that's how sad it is,i will have to find you on 2000 miles of map to get some fun, while your flying you have time to scout the BBS, that's not a action packed game at all.
I have done 13 years of aces and the rough sum is $2400 of my money, its not chook feed, i could buy into many new games that charge once off.
I love FSO but its not worth it anymore, this is just a pile of toejam.
Over and out and i couldn't give a rats for aces, love the time spent when it worked but its now just history,and history not in a good way.
Cheers Ht for doing nothing to get new blood.,

I think you need a hug...
-
Please don't give up beefie I don't know you never had a fight with you but we need the vets to stick around I know scuzzy is working on new recruitment video..it will be good times again :salute
-
Scott, you will find people to play with its a good game that's not the problem, and there are so many great people that play the game , the only reason the game is good is due to the players, the game itself in 2013 is toejam.
I don't need a hug, this game doesn't or wouldn't control my life, i am just stating what the softcoks will not, 35 in game, half that is in tower?
Its just my time once again to rage quit, i have had more than 10 names and never been the ego ace, it was all about fun , that's been long gone.

What do you want us to do about the low numbers? We've got no control on how many players are on or in the tower, so why are you coming here to complain about it. Your beef....beefie, is with the front office.
Those sitting in the tower are there because they went to bed and don't want to miss out of those perk points if their side wins. It happens a lot...especially on the same maps.
-
This is typical during times when the west coast of the USA goes to bed. The vast reaches of the pacific are populated mostly by fish during their local prime-time and fish have a lousy internet connection. The game could definitely use more Jap/Aussie/Kiwi, perhaps Korean players to cover that time gap.
P.S.
Big maps suck on EU and US prime time also. Don't tell me Compello map is on again...

That'ss quite an assumption. ;)
In fact, there's always a sizeable number of players in tower simply due tot he fact that about nobody is flying sorties nonstop. People are selecting loadouts in hangars, just been sent to tower by an enemy, looking at the map to find out where to go next, waiting for a mission to begin, going to the fridge to grab another beer... all those are shown as "in tower".
The main difference during low activity times is that the # of players sitting in tower just staring at the map in search for action is just higher than at peak times. But even at peak usually about 1/4th to 1/3rd of all players are being 'in tower'

Very true.

Now now, let's not use common sense when we can overreact.

That's quite an assumption that you think I'm assuming. I know for a fact people stay logged in when they go to bed if the map is close to being won. Not all in the tower i'll grant ya that, but I bet 1/4 do at least.

See, that's now a very much different statement than your initial one:
Those sitting in the tower are there because they went to bed and don't want to miss out of those perk points if their side wins.

Quit sending them to the tower if you don't want them there.

uh...this is a real pain when there's low numbers! I stopped playing in the early morning hours because of this.
ENY can go up to stupid high numbers. Making play really suck for some players.
Plus it doesn't even account for the players still logged on and in flight that are hiding somewhere to get war win perk points! Some just park right out in the open.
When you see big name players that are constantly landing kills logged on and no activity with their name and they won't respond to texts, that's a big clue. There are less obvious ones but it ruins play for those that are active.
Another LAME thing some players do that ruins fun for others.

lower the switch time and you will have less folks sitting in the tower staring at the map trying to decide if they'll log early or not :aok

Yeah but common sense never got us these funny nerd rage "I quit" threads.

Sounds like a time issue. If I'm up late the numbers really drop off to almost nothing.

Yep, well last night was about the saddest I've seen it...as beefie said 35 players...half of that during the the entire 3 hrs I stayed(between the 2nd and 3rd hour it bumped up to a whopping 40 odd)on at least half were not active...the only reason I was on for so long is I decided to try and wait a litle to see if things picked up and took B5N's and JU87's on milk runs...those thinks are slow man.....as it happened I could have gone @ 2k.... not a single upper to thwart me destructive runs....Oh I lie...on one run there was an upper but I'm picking they were buffs too cause I never saw them and the bar dar went into the sector opposite to where I was...

How do you know who's on the tower?
-
right click map and check country status

Oh thanks!

you can't place all the blame on HTC
it's just a crappy timezone for a niche game *shrug*
if you really need to fulfill that air combat urge you can play War Thunder, there are always fights to be found even in Aussie/Kiwi timezone...but sadly it's just not as good as AH ;<

It is a HT problem, i used to log in same time a few years ago now to 150+. My squad the "9giap" at the time had 10+ every night after hours or Aussie time, all interested and keen to kill, now its dead.
The main problem is aces has no advertising or social interaction, its time to get with the times, the game is good and a sell-able product but none knows its here.
make a FB app that shows how many on now, or something as that would put people off at the moment.
get more social in free networks
advertise
offer cash prizes like the old days
referrals
its endless.
Myself i run 6 businesses and if one looked like dying i would put effort in to make it get noticed, no mater how lame it might be, maybe if put up a prize for social shares, referrals or just do anything at all the numbers wouldn't be getting under 40 at anytime of day or night.
This game is part of my life, love history, war and the guys in the game, the history is there but the guys are leaving in hords, and the hords used to be the biggest whine now its the lack of.

AH will stay on the same stale road its been on for many many years, and numbers will keep falling.
This happens when you have the same 4 people working for you for ever.
Love the game like some of the people but management sucks :neener:

If you're unhappy with something change it. Organize and get together with several other guys/gals and perfect the art of low numbers base taking. I'm sure that as you start rolling up enemy bases you'll start running in to more bandits.
-
I'll also submit my reason for sometimes being afk in the tower for a vast amount of time. I recently started playing again, and haven't got all the skins downloaded. So, when I'm done playing sometimes I'll leave AH running and go do whatever and give it some extra time to download all the skins.

It sounds so simple doesn't it ... That is exactly what we used to do...at the moment you can de ack the field drop the town hang around till it turns back to a colour and have not one single upper... might sometimes get the 88 having a go.... and sometimes of late you are lucky if you have 4 people in flight on one side at any one time hahahaha
-
I go afk alllll the time, for however long I wish... Obviously other stuff comes ahead of a game.
