Title: Beta By Now...
Post by: 100Coogn on April 14, 2015, 11:42:08 PM
Just thinking the game should at least be in beta by now, or at least give a clue of how things are progressing.

Not to be a jack... but why would you think that? Is there some special time limit from the forming of the alpha testers that the beta must be released by?

From the comments hitech made about adding clouds I'd guess that they haven't finished adding what they plan to for the next version yet. Once they finish the add in like clouds and so on for the alpha then we will get to see the beta. Depending on how much more they are adding I'd say mid to late summer for the beta. Full release by Christmas.  This stuff takes time, especially with a small team.

I honestly don't expect it to go into full release until sometime next year. We might see an open or closed beta by then end of this year. That's just my guess though.

Well I sure hope the release isnt until next year, don't know if I can wait that long to considering the current gameplay but then again if nothing is done to change the game play it's just going to be the same thing with eye candy.

 Sorry I think you have me mixed up with someone else I don't come on here and complain on a daily basis as a matter of fact I don't complain much about the game at all like I said the game play lately is bad I never said it's getting old try some reading comprehension.

Numbers have a significant impact on gameplay.

People have complained about numbers on this game since the dang ice age.

No, they haven't. Only since they went down so much that it started to have an impact. Nobody in 2006 or 2008 (or even 2010, when the numbers already went down) ever complained about having not enough players in general. Nobody even cared about the actual numbers. Only very few did take actually note of them.

But when you have less than 30 or even less than 20 players online (at regular conditions), with less than 10 "inflight" ... you basically have no gameplay to speak of anymore.

When I came to AH I remember action packed sunday afternoons, as the arena was well filled up at ~200 players. Kazaa did his Sunday Bombing Missions, with dozens of joiners. Whatever you where looking for you usually were able to find. Nobody would have thought to complain about the numbers, because 20 or 30 more or less... would not have made a difference you'd have noticed.

Last Sunday afternoon I was looking at an arena with less than 80 players and only one battle.... that was happening between the two other countries over a critical base for them.
Weekdays at the beginning of 'Euro prime' we are also down to so few players that you can consider it to be a luck if there's one fight on your fronts, and not "over there".
No fighter sweeps, large armored thrusts. No big bomber missions, as we are dispersed all over a huge map (a remnant from a time when we had much more players.


To suggest that low numbers have no impact on the quality of gameplay borders on ignorance. And telling players who have trouble finding the battles they came for to "go away and play pacman" ain't particular helpful with this issue either.

This game ROCKS!

If you think it is not challenging enough get out of the &%^@ LA7\Spit16, fly under 12k (i.e. get outta orbit) and run to enemy ACK instead of yours.  :old:

EDIT: Other Suggestions
* Fly a P-51d but use all methods except boom-and-zoom and running.
* Fly a P-40.
* Get out of any plane you routinely get 3+ kills in per sortie and up the next variant down.
* Fly a P-40.
* Engage in up hill battles in a plane that cant climb.
* Fly a P-40.
* Burn off 80% of your ammo before taking off.
* Fly a P-40.
* Fly for fun instead of score.

Again, all useless if there is no one to fly against. Also useless against those who cant/won't fight.

Chasing noe's,  porkin buffs, HQ stealth bombers, or running endless resupply runs isn't what people are going to spend their money on.

Yes, the game play is old and needs to be changed to help attract and keep new customers.
