Massive advances of base takes on enemy lines, strategic defenses stopping hordes dead in their tracks, outstanding air to air combat in massive furballs lasting hours on end.

if you unable to to adapt and overcome in this game your game play at times will not he enjoyable. Get used to that. Dont whine about it on bbs. Adapt and overcome if you want something to change.

the result of poor marketing and getting out there in the world to hustle for your trade. Multi-billion dollar industry gents.
With that said.... I believe thats an early early morning screenshot for 3am-6am USA time. If you dont like it snail then do something about it. Go get players. Grass root market yourself like i have. I have brought 4 new players to this game in the last 18 months and they are still playing. Otherwise stay in your hole and keep doing what you do.

lol Wizz is dumb :old:

This screenshot surely wasn't taken at 3am. Good example of why there should only be 2 countries, or a reduced side switch time.

Well it's good you got one guy and I suppose I could congratulate you? Now let's see you keep him for a while, and while you're at it go get 100 more. While you get to the 100th recruit how many of the previous would have already left the game due to its flaws?
That is the problem.

You can adapt all you want, it won't change the fact that game play has become stale and has had the negative result in causing players to leave the game and has hindered in retaining new players.
That's why I am optimistic that we'll be seeing some much needed changes to the game play with the new update instead of keeping the same old tired thing.

The community isn't dead, not even close. We just tend to ignore some of the more vocal idiots, so don't be worried if people start to ignore you, the community is just fine.
ack-ack

Wizz if your intent is to troll or show your cluelessness, I'm afraid to say you've only proven the cluelessness.
I keep wanting to give you the benefit of the doubt, but you keep shooting yourself in the foot.
Frankly you havent been around long enough to comment. You have been around to become part of what many of us see as the problem however.

I have made my frienda and earned the respect of those who i fly with. They know me you do not. So although i respect the people who disagree i do not respect the opinions of those who whine on the bbs about how bad the game has become. you adapt and overcome... and when that fails you log for the night.

and soon one day your kind wont be able to afford the hardware update that is coming or will just give up before that glorious day when AH returns to her glory of old. Then people like myself who are many in this community but lack the resolve to fight it out with you on bbs takes over. Yes you are the majority now but your days are numbered.
This game will be great and mighty in the days to come. So get with it or keep fighting me in bbs. I will co tinue to have a FineTime regardless.

That was highly dramatic of you.
Sadly you've not been around long enough to know what "many" really means in AH terms.
The game has never been the issue. It's most often the people playing who set the tone.
Some play with the understanding that it's not just thier fun that matters. Others like yourself play the game only thinking about how it impacts you.
I have this vision of you shouting to the cartoon heavens about your latest effort to impact on gameplay negatively and then realizing you are talking to yourself as everyone else has left.
If that's your goal, you are doing a great job

Is your aim to become the most "reviled player in AH" or the biggest, clueless dolt? From where I'm sitting at, you're leading in the clueless dolt title.

Wizz, you know me, have flown with me and I believe respect my opinion. Hopefully you respect me enough to read and consider what I am about to say.
First, I respect your enthusiasm. You're an energetic guy (I know from talking to you!). I think you largely mean well also. Kudos on recruiting and adding players to the game.
That said, you can't try to "rile up" (read: troll) the community with every-other thread/post and then expect to have your opinions respected by anyone. It really appears to me that your approach to the forum is largely one of trolling the player base. Many players treat the forum this way -- like an extension of the game where the intent is to combat others or simply grief them. I've never embraced that approach. Like Guppy, I believe you are getting that reputation -- and I agree with him that makes you more problematic than helpful here, in my opinion as well.
I realize you are trying to counter the negativity on the forum -- that is a good intent. It's not necessarily what you are saying, but how you are saying it that is the problem. Here's an important thing to keep in mind: Many people who take the time to monitor this forum, comment on it and, yes, even "whine" on the forum, are people who care. If they didn't care, they'd simply leave the game. I'm sure there are plenty of those as well, people we never hear from, and who leave without a word. While some comments/suggestions on the forum can be completely off-base, many are valid symptoms of actual problems with the game and some players' approach to it (like the HQ griefing that is definitely on the rise). Usually a player's frustration level has to be rather high for them to take time to comment on the forum. So, they don't always do it the right way, however, this doesn't make their points invalid. Taking your approach of then "poking the bear" doesn't help at all.
With all due respect (again thinking you really mean well), you haven't earned the credibility in the community to engage with some of these long-time (and respected) players the way you have. I'd simply suggest trying to be a little more respectful and open-minded of opinions you don't agree with. I think if you do that, you'll eventually find you have much more in common than you thought -- and that is that we all want a healthy, thriving and fun Aces High game and community. HTC is working hard to bring out a new update to the game, to hopefully reach that end. Time will tell on that. But in the meantime, there are some painful (to those who care) things going on in the game that are cause for complaint/concern (good or bad).
Please take a step back and consider what I've said before replying. Maybe even sleep on it first.
Respectfully,
Ryno

I mean really....come on. This game doesn't appeal to the masses, I don't think it's intended to. Few come and fewer stay. It's not an easy game and frankly only those who are interested in WW2 fighting would even try it out. Add in that it's not arcade, and even the players we deride have more skill than those who play the other "sims". I agree with wizz that our word of mouth is the best advertisement, and seeing all the whine threads about the same old boring horse hockey isn't going to draw people in. It's a shame that the whine threads outnumber threads of real interest to those who play and those who MIGHT play. I'd almost be willing to bet that this forum couldn't go even one week with out someone starting a BMW thread. If I had looked at the forums before I started, I probably would have gone somewhere else. IT'S A GREAT DAMNED GAME! THANK YOU DALE AND ROY and the rest of you who put up with our crap and give us great fun in spite of ourselves!

I don't know about you guys, but on a large map, with our HQ downed, half my squad simply log, me among them.
Game play do NOT get promoted because one set of bombers get through and kill it.
I'm sure Lusche can make a chart of how numbers go down when HQ is downed for a country.

I agree, its a great game! It's just too bad some players seem to want to go out of their way to ruin the fun for most of the other players.
Those of us who point out these "problems" we see in the game do so because we REALLY REALLY like this game. We are not trashing the game as a whole, but there are problems that have crept into the game play that should be addressed. When the population got too high and the game became a "cesspool" I believe it was called, they split the main arena into two arenas to levitate that issue. When the problem of cap issues came up in that two arena system they built the graduating cap system. When there was nothing but NOEs for missions and and we all played "wack a mole" trying to defend against them they changed the radar settings.
Well its time they adjust the HQ settings now for a start. Maybe a tweak added to auto adjust ENY levels when the number drop low during Euro times. Small adjustments like these can help the game play better. If the game plays better, less people leave. If less people leave there becomes more word of mouth about this game because the players are playing THIS game, not moving on to some other game.
These are certainly NOT the best game play in years. If it was people wouldn't be leaving. Can it be the best? You can bet your sweet A....!!!! The game potential is still there in this game, however due to how it is played and other "adapting" to that play we have lost many of the great and wildly fun missions and aspects we use to enjoy.
Why take a bunch of buffs with cover to attack a base when you can do it in half the time with heavy fighters? Well in the old days it was a lot of fun. Picture a flying bar and your all in there having a great time when the next thing you know a great bar fight breaks outs! The best part is nobody gets arrested, and you can do it over and over again.
The fun has been taken away as we now have to "work" to keep dar up. We have to "work" to find fights. We have to work to slow the hordes. I already work 50 hours a week not to mention taking care of my family and the house. I don't really want to have to "work" to play and have fun too.

If the dar is out, and you have a group of squadies on, go to the middle of the map and pick 110s or any other attack destroyer like 38s or 47s, and rick roll a base!
You can go NOE, high or right off a CV!
The catch is!
Enemy planes might roll! The other team may take notice and fight back!! TAAADAAHH a fight, ladies and gentlemen.
Or you can do my favorite and simply tell the other team over 200 you and your group of fellas are about to go bust up a base! And talk tons of crap as you are tearing down their base. The enemies will come!
If you can't find a fight, start one!!
No comment about the after hours. I just talk crap until people start to look for me.
Just gotta figure out how to find fights. Go to basses that are flashing and look around. Ask people. Pm someone on the other team for god sakes.
I admit.. Sometimes it can be dull. I understand what you guys are saying completely. Wizz is just trying to be the bomber version of Skyyr hahahaha! No pun intended.
You can do it!! The fights are out there! Don't be afraid to up in that big red horde you pansies. Die for your countries!

Thanks Ink. Yeah, I usually try one or two rational and respectful replies before giving up on them. When that fails, we fortunately have an ignore list feature on the forum and .squelch in game, so I don't need to read the never-ending drivel or feel compelled to interact with the Midways, Manawars, Skyyrs, etc. of the world. They are simply not worth the time or energy, so why give them the attention they crave?
That's my approach, anyway.

Never mind......
-
If you can't find a fight, start one!!
I've had some success by announcing my position, my altitude, my destination and the type of plane I'm flying. Typically someone wants to come fight, and once you get a fight going in a known spot, more will gravitate to that area.

Wizz theres nothing more pathetic then someone who thinks they are smarter then everyone else and whose little mind games reflect that narcissism. I dont know who you were before you became "Wizz" but Ive been "bombrich" since day 1. I hit the game at its height and while the game play was spectacular the "codes" of the players were even more so.
"Codes"?
"Codes" meant lotsa experienced players in the TA helping noobs out learning the game. Ghost may have sat on the runway but it was many others that taught noobs to play. "Codes" always stopped me from flying to a VH base and griefing GV's just cause I could back when I was a top tank killer. They had their game, I had mine. Unless they were rolling an airbase I left them to their game.
We even had players who would let a wounded enemy fly home after an honorable fight. There were many more <S>'s given, as in far, far more. Bomber sticks always tried to make it home unless life just made it impossible. If HQs were attacked there was plenty of warning cause we came in at 20,000'. Our intent not to grief but to have a big fight.
Honestly after reading your BS and all your supposed mind games Im starting to think the game is dead for good. About 2/3rds gone and how many that come back yathink are actually new players? I think they are just recycled old ones. Did you ever think what your cute little antics do to the few noobs we might have trying to learn the game when your NOE Lanc attacks on HQs make about 60 log off within minutes of your bomb and bail? And what noobs that remain stumble around trying to find a fight and learn the game. Not that there are any noobs to do so mind you.
Yeah your a slick little guy. You have the entire world fooled cause your so smart.

Sadly, I am not grateful anymore. I will be gone by six pm. When the HQ griefing is remedied I will maybe be back. (Yes, I can hear the jokes: SOFTEN HQ SO HE WON'T RETURN!). Enough is enough. It just isn't fun this way. I won't even get into how ENY totally kneecapped the best rolling battle in MONTHS last week. :bhead

No he can't. That would require being logged in and sampling the numbers every x minutes. I don't have the time for that ;)
Furthermore, I don't believe the immediate effect is that prominent. I rather fear it's simply not helping the current erosion of overall numbers.
