Again, its still connected to the city, city down = HQ down longer. Its always 40 min shorter that is was before but can still be a long time.
-
The 5 minute HQ downtime can be extended for a longer period of time if the country's city has been porked. Depending on the severity of the damage to the city, it is possible for the HQ to remain down as long as 125 minutes.
-
So pay attention! :old:
-
Why not just permanently change it to 5 minute down time, until numbers improve?

he would have to rewrite the code which is impossible to do right now with Aces High 3 coming out shortly I'm sure the problem is resolved there I hope

I think we are paying attention just fine. That message was taken down earlier today. Even after I took it down I still set the HQ down time to 5 minutes.
I just verified it is still set to 5 minutes. Has been all day.

You guys hotard is rustled!

My Guess is that the true key to HQ Dar is in protecting either or both the HQ and City. No matter what the message says, it was just misleading to those of use that thought ,OK, HTC is doing something about the radar issue. For even if the HQ is limited to 5 min. down time, if they pound the daylights out of the city , your screwed for a much longer period. As per :
Defend the city?

As for the customer unfriendly statement from Skuzzy:

Most of us saw that message and wrongfully assumed that when it said ” HQ down time to 5 minutes”.
We took that message as it read, much to our collective bad.
Knights, what can I say? You got to stop all the furrballing long enough to defend the city and HQ or you will be spending even less time in the arenas than you know do. The Bish and Rooks know that if they manage to take down the city and HQ half your members log and the rest refuse to resupply or do anything collectively to improve their odds. Can’t you furball over the city and HQ?
I just question the thinking of HTC, who limited many aspects of the game over the years. It’s no longer possible to limit a field to 25 % of fuel because that limited a players ability to “FIGHT” and the game was all about air combat. Well OK now, a sides Radar and DarBar are all about the ability to “FIGHT” and the game is/was all about air combat, right?

Skuzzy, can you change the map plz ??? :pray :pray :pray bring a small fun map in weekends , PLZ :pray
most of us have time for game in weekends only and this map is awful; the game has great fun features but there's absolutely nothing fun resuping HQ ; PLZ :pray

This horse has been beat to death ! The "5 minute" change is a temporary fix, and a fair one at that. It's not easy taking down the city, the ack is hell, with a number of buildings that need to be destroyed, and the bombers have to loiter longer. it takes a combined planned effort to effect the game. I believe this is exactly what so many of us asked for !
And I'm sorry but "aces high" IS NOT just about fighter vs fighter combat as so many claim ! it is a WWII based combat simulation with an emphasis on Air combat. There is an objective built into the game. WIN THE WAR. every thing about the game is set up around this objective. Strats are just another strategic variable a team can use to achieve this goal.
In real life, Bombers came first, fighters were built to stop the Bombers, then other fighters were built to stop the fighters that were trying to stop the Bombers!
without bombers, and targets to attack, there is no need for fighters.
-
heck Traver the other night we took 3 bases back to back with no dar. And they were defended bish bases.
-
Several logged when it went down late afternoon including me after I helped get it back up.
What a load of crap.
-
I watched bombers hitting cities completely undefended until they were down to near nothing and then watched the follow-up dar bars that were obviously the hq appear in enemy territory and slowly ooze toward HQ....................yet, somehow the hq attack was a surprise.
Everything is surprise every time when you don't have the ability to learn from experience.

And there's the problem you watched. why not up to defend if you saw it coming ?

Skuzzy,
Again as a temporary fix, how about fixing City downtime, ALSO. First building hit stays down 180 minutes currently. What about a change from 45 to 60 minutes. This change would roll back HQ downtime unless there actually was some VERY noticeable activity in both areas of city and HQ. Also, would balance the effort to resupply with its destruction.
As discussed to no end, the problem is NOT furballing (which is HEALTHY interaction of players), the problem IS the determination of single individuals, relentlessly BLINDING an entire country (which deters from the HEALTH of the game).
It is simple to me, the game has held my interest and earned me many friendships over more than a dozen years. I quickly lose interest in wasting time with USELESS situations, ie HQ down for 90 minutes, while resupply shortens only 4 minutes per trip which might consume 12 minutes to reach the destination, in a plane with NO GUNS.

Logged on last night, HQ was down, I stayed on for 15 min. then logged.
Logged back on 45 min. later, HQ still down, logged to watch tv rest of the night.
Just logged on today, HQ is down, logged off.
Seriously hope something gets done Soon

Yup, same here. The map is the worst for it too. I log in and see the Fester map and pretty much log out whether dar is down or not. Just get started doing something and dar goes down, so why bother.

god it sucks to be you. I love the map. Always somethig to do. Deack vbase after vbase, the great island fights and the crown jewel base take in the entire game at 21!!!
The sickness within this community is horrifying! The sickness is strong with you

Nope, its just priorities. Why bother wasting my time hunting for a fight in the game when I could go see the Minions movie or play my new pinball game.
It doesn't matter that YOU have fun, it matters that more and more people log off because THEY are not having fun. People stop paying for things that are no longer fun, and new people who have trouble finding fun don't bother to sign up for a subscription.
I know its hard for you to believe, but it's not always about you!
-

Because he expects you to drop what you're doing for the excitement that is guard duty at HQ. Asspac loves to deride everyone for not taking such obvious measures as driving tanks out to intercept 15 hour trekking tanktard griefers, while simultaneously keeping CAP over HQ at all altitudes for hours on end.
Whoever would rather dogfight than do that kind of fun stuff must have a screw loose. :rolleyes:
-
Wizz,
If you unplugged your ears, you would recognize that Fugi was right on target. What pleases you, seems not to be pleasing to most. Sounds like the old saying, " I am sane, everyone else in the world is crazy". :old: The "community" is not sick. It is alive and well, and will be, in spite of the things we do and say. :salute
Put this in your pipe and smoke it. If the person who knocked down HQ, was immediately switched to the affected country for the duration of the downtime, there would soon be a lot less HQ strat raids. Try running your HQ strike raid from a country with no radar input. :headscratch:

I have made maybe a dozen HQ runs at max in the 6 years ive played this game and once in gv with 49ers. I am always tactical to defend or take a base. I always find fun and I am sorry a lot of you dont whenever HQ is down. Despite your opinion i am the opposite of what you say I am :ahand

lol you have posted more than a dozen threads on how you dropped hq.
semp
edit: and btw you have posted about how you have only been playing for 2 years and yet you are the best bomber that ever lived.
-
Game is very predictable, Bish and Nits both attacks Rook since it the smallest country for easy base takes, roll rooks all the way to their city. Kill city and HQ repeatedly...
-

I did defend.....by myself.
-
I think we are paying attention just fine.
I'm sure you do think that. It's the paying customers that are having a lousy experience with it.

Wrong, I fly NIT, and I can tell you, depending on the Map, we mostly go after the BISH, because we don't like climbing to 30k for a fight.

Or, maybe, just maybe, it's not a surprise at all, it's just that many people are like me and do not find climbing to 38,000 ft and looking for bombers that are only going to shred my wallowing plane as soon as I find them a form of entertainment worth $15/month.

I have play steadily since 2011 the last 2 years I have played full time. Before 2011 it was occasional play i didnt like the non-arcade style but i eventually caught on.
I am one of the best damn bombers in the game :D not saying much with these low numbers. :devil

Wrong.
Far to many times have I seen the bish/nit front dead quiet and rooks being furiously attacked from both sides, And the bish/knits weren't close to winning.

+1 where was hitech to kill the HQ downtime when bish had our HQ COMPLETLEY surrounded with 8 or so bases around our HQ taken? They had those bases for about two days.

Stop whining some of us like the map

Must be a time thing..I play every night late night as a bish. The same
rook crew every night the fester map was up the rooks took bases all the way to our strats...then pounded them..I did however log in one night to see that the day bish crew did the same to the rooks..I do enjoy looking for the 49ers at our strats with my a20 but I haven't lately because I'm trying to work on my acm and dogfighting skills..I truly believe all chess pieces act the same..I do notice the rooks like to come in high tho and they definitely work well as a team especially winging together..imho
