Title: rant
Post by: 49Dallas on June 26, 2015, 03:00:23 AM
People upping off of a CV when you spend all day driving it to enemy strats. Jerks decide to ruin everything and up. Oh look, B26's come to take out the boat after they up. They don't want to come down after you ask them, Worst part they KNOW better than to up.:o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o:o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o:o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o:o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o:o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o:o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o:o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o:o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o:o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o:o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o:o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o:o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o:o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o:o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o:o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o:o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o:o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o:o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o:o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o:o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o:o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o:o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o:o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o:o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o:o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o:o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o:o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o:o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o:o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o:o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o:o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o:o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o:o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o:o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o

ok let me explain it using your own words.  you jerks ruined the game for a lot of players by destroying hq because you could.  even after being asked not to do it you still did it because you could.

so now you complain that some jerks are ruining your fun because basically they can.

Slightly different.....the players wanting HQ left alone are generally the enemy.

There are plenty of players on all sides that don't want to go any HQ down because of the current issues with it.

Not really a "change," he just tries to reset things in the morning.

Earlier this week I heard that someone had given away the location of the 49ers' carrier as it sneaked toward enemy HQ.  Being on the same side, I went down and flew off the carrier in its defense.  We had some most excellent fights during the time it took for the other side to sink the carrier, I thought it made for a great time.

Shelling a enemy field undetected is a very fun part of this game.  Many new players and grieving fighter pilots do not understand this.  please players, try to understand how these task groups can be put to use.  Do not up off a cv before shelling is complete.  you spawning in and inviting enemy to fight is not defending, it is selfish suicide. 

Its a real shame that players ignore this courtesy.  Most likely the same players who complain about hq, tip off missions, and spread the word of hate towards any gameplay with the word "bomb" in it.

most players understand the cv undercover techniques but a few do not and a few are but-heads looking for a fight.

For the wish list. 
1: CV captain can lock flight for 15 minutes.
2. Submarines with 8" Guns  :rock

Cool, then I can lock up your CV in a critical moment. I think that will easily create more trouble than a poor soul "upping too early"  :devil

my mistake... I always forget the "Seedy underbelly" of every feature... How will it negatively impact gameplay eh?  lol kind of like not being able to control CV groups bug; "Unable to Fly From this Field As El Capitan "XXXYYY" has Locked the Flight deck"

I got it, simply allow the user to bypass the captains orders!   Make it a prompt that tells/warns you that the flight deck operations have been temporarily suspended during active shelling, Are You Sure You Want To Launch?

New idea. Let's extend dotdar to 8 bazillion miles and radar altitude to 6" off the ground.

And expand its capabilites to include surface search.


There is no hiding. There is only the fight.

While agree it would be nice if players held off a launch when attacking a base, this has nothing to do with that.

The OP was mad that the lifter spoiled his easy kill of a strat.

Hey guys I want to take an arena asset and monopolize it for my own purposes.  I'm going to keep it to myself for hours, so please don't fly aircraft off of the aircraft carrier.  If a massive dogfight ensues, it'll wreck EVERYTHING!

I see the point and the frustration of the players planning a CV attack; shelling the town, then de-ack and troops.

Part of the problem: just about every time I've seen this happen, the guys planning the attack start screaming and demanding that the pilot stops. Only once have I heard someone ask politely and then explain why. The nube pilot bailed, apologized and then helped with the planned attack.

When I first started playing, some guys screamed at me for this. Because of their unreasonable reaction, I continued to take off, and even ignored and let bombers make it to the CV. I had no idea of their plan before they started yelling. I continued to take off in response to their d-head armchair general crap. That's probably what that guy did too.

Bottom line: take the high road, ask nicely, and explain what you're trying to do. You might be surprised by the result.

Who was it? Aside from the foul language, he deserves a beer. He played the game well within acceptable boundaries (both socially and from HTC) and pursued a fight.

I haven't commented much at all on the HQ stuff because I recognize that is fun for some. Why can't that sentiment be reciprocated?

well when we asked not to drop hq so often for no reason than to grief the player base, they kept doing it.  they even boasted on the bb about doing it.  ask wizz, he posted so many threads about it and kept doing it even when most of the players posting were against it.

so how exactly is a player's name on the control going to stop from locking up the cv?  because I can tell you it didnt stop the 49th from doing it.  actually they kept doing it just to grief.

We are all Generals and Admirals in AH.  The only way to muster cooperation in a situation like that is through having the respect of fellow players.  Although that certainly doesn't always work, its all we have.  When that doesn't work, its due to a player simply being disrespectful or a player not deserving of respect.  We can only control 1/2 of that equation.  If you've done your part by being respectful of others and deserving of others respect, don't sweat it.  You've done all you can.

Well being identified as a schmuck on film could allow such griever to be punished. three weeks without sheep. .

If that is not enough htc can ban them from paying any more money or playing to cause me grief.

In the end its a waste of time because we are asking the man to help police our freedom and sadly freedom is all we ever wanted.

F it. Id rater be free of the fighter jock myth and the score jockeys timidness. Ill talk to the noob and help him. and the greiving vet.... Ill shoot that sob every chance i get . cuz i can. and i will. and when my brats are done you can have some.  :salute
