Title: 2nd accounts will kill this game
Post by: catdaddy on June 30, 2015, 01:40:44 PM
second accounts running on the same side isn't the issue here, it's the second accounts running in a different country that is.  just to clarify that statement:


THERE SHOULD NOT BE TWO ACCOUNTS IN DIFFERENT COUNTRIES IN GAME FROM THE SAME IP ADDRESS AT THE SAME TIME.


and again the comms between countries should be cut off with the exception of the 200 channel for the obvious trolling of course

My nephew used to do Aces High right next to my desk. We didn't always fly for the same countries and guess what? No one ever complained! I plan to do same for my 4 year old when I deem him ready to fly Aces High.

Cut off comms, flying in the same room makes communication with the computer nonsense anyway.

Relax and enjoy the game.

If there is a problem, email HTC. I'd be willing to bet most of the time the reason you got caught had nothing to do with paranoia.

Most of the time people that think they are coming in from a random direction from across the water end up flying through a CV radar and never knew it. What about PM? What about 3rd party programs for communication?

I think you being upset and paranoid about two accounts will kill the game.

What if a son and father play and want to fly in different countries so they can fight each other? 

Are you a member of SFOX's squadron by any chance?

While I agree that there is MUCH less of this going on that many think, THINKING there is an issues is as bad as HAVING the issue.

Sure an NOE could run through enough of a CVs dar ring to be spotted and plotted, but few will believe that that is why they were spotted. Far more will believe the "rumor" of spies and second accounts. Rumors of cheating/giving away information can hurt this game just as much as if was really happening.

No matter what, there are ways for people to communicate.  Given that as well as your comment above, Fugi, there's literally nothing they can do.

Im sure a smart crew like HTC could come up with something. Maybe something as simple as having the hammer fall on a few people just to let the rabble KNOW they are watching.

Ok...  So I am flying Bish and see a Bish mission take off.  I text you on Knights saying they're taking off from field 49 headed east to take field 50.

Explain in detail how HTC will know what we just did and be able to stop it.

Not same IP, just 2 guys cheating.

The paranoia's not going to stop if they ban multiple accounts, the stories the paranoid make up will just alter slightly.

Still noone has presented any evidence or example of missions being blown by shades/2nd accounts etc...

Post by: Drane on June 30, 2015, 05:33:43 PM
Stopping the 2nd accounts isn't going to stop what's happening, or, what's perceived as happening.

Let's say 2 countries are banging on the 3rd. Squaddies from 3rd country are assigned to other countries to report back activities of 2 countries and try to start up something between them or pork the others factories, etc, etc. Or it could just be players that agree to work together to accomplish some goal.

"spying" and "sabotage" doesn't need shade accounts.

what is this? the "Spanish Inquisition"?  :headscratch:

I am a spy and I have no problem giving up my 2nd account as long as you let me keep 3rd 4th 5th and 6th........ :old:

Did that but once I saw a base flashing and upped just in time to kill the troops, then i remembered that I droped the troops myself with one of my other accounts trying to sneak the base...   :bhead  :furious

After that i only use one account at the time.

Why do so many want to avoid PvP in an PvP game and then complain about "spies" when they are forced to PvP in a PvP game?

Dude.  You are obviously not much of a strategerist.

Get with the program.  There's a war to win.

I'll take the bait. This is a WW2 flight sim with a ground/fleet component and some war stratetegy, not Spy vs Spy. Some donuthead like spybro sitting in a hanger reporting who takes off from the hot base in contention or driving inbetween bases and vectoring fighters to bomber formations or reporting who's in what goon based on country chatter or monitoring different known squad channels or just monitoring the dots on the map and making easily deduced guess work on who's flying goons or bombers to what base. I've seen him sitting on a hill vectoring fighters to find the m3 sitting near a town we were trying to take. It's RUINING THIS GAME.

If that's the case then you need to use the ".report playerid" function rather than post about it.

It's a shame that literally every single player in the MA is in fact all shade accounts of one guy spying on himself. What has this game come to? :(
Title: Re: 2nd accounts will kill this game
Post by: BuckShot on July 01, 2015, 10:20:11 AM
Whines like this are due to the "it's not my fault" mentality that is popular now.

He found my M3... Shade account!

He killed my P-47M with a P-40...hack-bot!

I'm crappy pilot and tactician... Not my fault, my lousy skills are due to someone else's dishonesty.

Life is not fair. Life is hard for everyone. It's even harder if you're stupid.

Maybe you should put together a plan that doesn't involve complete and total secrecy.

That too.

Report player doesn't work. Submitting films doesn't work. It's legal. Dude drives through a spawn and lays out supps for the enemy....That's what this thread is about. A suggestion or a wish....

prohibiting customers from having a 2nd account will not resolve the issue either.  However, coding can prevent the actions you described in your reply above by making it so that supplies from one country can't be used by another.

I DEMAND EVERYONE TO HAVE A MINIMUM OF 5 ACCOUNTS SO THEY MAY HUNT ME!

They don't need to have 5 accounts. Just listen for the distinct Crabby screams. Follow the screams and find the crab  :D

I have been accused hundreds of times -literally! - of using shades/2nd accounts to locate goons, m3s, bombers, whatever. Not even once there was any substance to these accusations.
Screams of "hack! cheater! shade!" are just an ubiquitous knee-jerk reaction when something goes wrong. It's so much easier to blame any fail on these things than using your own brain for a change.

What I don't understand is folks will announce they are looking for a fight at a certain base and then no one shows up?

What the OP is suggesting seems to mean that the only way to find a fight is to pretend to be a spy and let the other side know that way.

Or is he suggesting he's mad because someone prevented him from avoiding the fight?


I'm so confused!
Title: Re: 2nd accounts will kill this game
Post by: Wiley on July 02, 2015, 04:24:32 PM
I just figured out the solution.  All these people who are being tormented by a shade need a second account of their own.  When they see a spy, they just need to use their second account on the other country to go and find the spy and shoot him down.

I have briefly considered getting a shade for one single purpose, to find out where cybro is hiding...
