Title: I see Fester was replaced with Fester II today
Post by: Mano on October 29, 2015, 05:24:43 PM
I would like to see field A21 deleted from FesterMA. Three different countries have 3 v bases in close proximity. There is s potential for some really
fun GV fights. But, as soon as the bomb-toids (players that don't know how to gv) start upping at A21, they drop eggs and all the gv'er stop upping and go somewhere else. Bomber pilots are at no risk to fighters as all the other airfields are more than a sector away. Fester could be just as much fun as CraterMA if A21 is deleted. The GV'ers are a significant amount of the AH population. One of the best features of Aces High is there is allot to do on any given night whether you like pt boats, bombers, fighters,cv's, gv's or like to kick back and use a manned gun. There is something for everybody. The placement of A21 next to three v bases was a big mistake that can be rectified.

Respectfully requesting.

  Dropping the range planes are able to spot the icons of ground vehicles to 2K, and introducing
the joke known as the Wirbelwind apparently isn't enough. Now the GV guys want to further
neuter fighters.... this in a game -based- on fighters. :rofl

Don't gvers have access to the death machine known as the Wirblewind? Ground attack aircraft as suppose to be able to kill tanks, the Wirblewind is there to kill the ground attack planes.

If we really demand a dedicated TT area on every single map then I demand we bring back donut map and have a dedicated furball area on every map.

Post by: DmonSlyr on October 30, 2015, 07:51:12 AM
I dont like the idea of GV towns or Furball Islands.

They take away from the "war" aspect to the game by stuffing players in one section of the map.

If we can make a map where furballs and tanks are used in the main battles than we dont need furball islands or tank towns.

I just think its contradictory to what the MA is suppose to represent.

The three v bases have the red border around them. They cannot be captured. The intentional isolation of the v bases away from all the other bases was to promote gv fights. A21 is a mistake. All other air fields are a sector and a half away. That area was busy with gv's the first day FesterMA appeared in the rotation but has been dead ever since. The country with the air field ends the gv fights. You could even have pt boat battles there if A21 is deleted. Instead of players complaining about Fester you could have them looking forward to Fester like CraterMA.

Because most players are doing the GV thing and so it is easier for groups to get together and roll bases. It takes less players in each group to take a base as there are always less defenders.

The obvious solution is to take a21 using airplanes.

Ya, thats a great solution  :rolleyes:

Lets see, Bish own A21 and are ruining the GV fights so the Rooks take it with planes and THEY ruin the GV fights, so the Knights take it with planes and THEY ruin the GV fights, and on and on it goes. There will never be a big GV presents there until A21 is gone.
Title: Re: I see Fester was replaced with Fester II today
Post by: Chilli on November 01, 2015, 11:44:09 AM
A21 is a "carrot" dangling in front of base takers noses.  It was created with uncapturable GV bases in proximity for a "coordinated" attack. 

I understand the complaints, and feelings that there is a better GV battle to be had.  But I am not buying this is a mistake, rather it is a rallying point.  No fights anywhere else (which btw hardly, if ever, happens on this map) then THERE is the ever present challenge.

Thanks HiTech, for fixing the CV port issue while juggling alpha coading as well.

I wouldn't say Fester map sucks, but it is the bottom of my list of the maps they run.

Why? Because it usually ends up with a single fight on one front. You get spurts of GV action here and there as well as the occasional pop up fight here or there. If your not "watching" the map it is easy to miss these little fights.

I find far more fights on the smaller maps. That is a sign of the times. With the lower numbers it is easier to hit a critical mass type thing where you have more than the one big fight. I think that is the trouble with the Fester Map. It is a big map and there are just not enough people to get it rolling.

Sometimes we have opinions about things that end up being self fulfilled prophecies.  However, with this current valley map, I will try and give some evidence instead of just personal preference.

Flying a PonyB and received a pilot wound from town ack (happening a lot lately).  I turned immediately and flew directly towards the nearest friendly airfield.  I didn't get 10 seconds within dar range of that field at full throttle and level flight skimming the plateau heights, before I succumb to the wound and flashed to the tower.

This is not a complaint that I lost a plane or points, as much as an example of how FAR the air to air battles are in some SMALL maps.   <<<<<  This IS my major complaint, especially when looking for a fight that can be sustained during off hours and limited minutes of gameplay.

Fester sucks...
Fester has the most action, low or high numbers. Kills, fights, gv battles, navy battles, base captures ... any and all action.

Don't know exactly why, but it is likely the base density and proximity. A few uncaptureable ports is a nice touch. As are the long distances required to hit strats.

One wish item is radar nearer to the strats.

You can call people complainers and whiners all you want, but the fact is there was an issue with the map and HTC  had to fix it. Others voicing their complaints are trying to help better the map, not trash the builder or the map. The map is not perfect and this has been proven but the fix HTC had to do.

I know it's hard to do, but we all don't live in that candy land so many of you seem to do, ease up on those only trying to help.

Sorry if others have, but I don't think many try and put you in that category Fugi.  Some just don't care, and won't listen to anything past the sound of their own voice.  They do not serve the cause of serious posters well.

Perhaps they find it amusing.  In that case, okay, I'll bite, and laugh with them.  If on the other hand, they seriously have a problem with the terrain, why not voice it? - Otherwise, I laugh at them.  :rofl

I think discussions between folks with differing opinions are more interesting than those just nodding in agreement.  Fugi, again I hope you didn't take anything referring to another poster as intended for you.  :salute

I'm at a loss for words at the fact that the benefactors of my terrain work who received this work free of charge as a gift to their company and this community would take the time to berate its slow rate of construction... and to not see the original post as it was edited by Skuzzy is very confusing as well.

As to the exact number of hours I did not track it but it was not a small number with everything being done by hand with very limited automation and avoidance of cut n paste methods to keep each area unique because I felt like it.

The meticulous micro detailing and terrain contouring and terrain texture pattern work all done by hand took a long time but it was done and done in excruciating detail for the best effect I could manage with my limited abilities and lack of any artistic skill with no concern about production value because I could never get a job doing this stuff so I do it for enjoyment.

But I am glad my terrain gifts were so appreciated can't wait to do it again!

Post by: Mano on November 16, 2015, 09:01:04 PM
I started this thread with the idea FesterMA could be improved at one location. The very first day Fester appeared in the rotation the v bases were very busy next to A21. Three v bases representing the three countries made for some very fun battles. All the regular Gv'ers thought that was an area for gv battles similar to Crater MA. The pilots that like to egg the gv'ers bombed all of the gv's.  They dont up there anymore. That area of the map has been empty of players ever since. The solution: delete A21. Do that and the map will be as good as CraterMA.

Also, if the Pt Boat spawns are set in the nearby lakes the pt boats could have lots of fun battles as well.

I am not being critical. It is a good map.

Post by: Citabria on November 16, 2015, 09:40:10 PM
A21 was never meant to be a gv furball. the unconquerable gv bases were a drawback to the high elevation field as anyone that decided to do a coordinated attack would have ground support for it at any time it was needed.

I tried to avoid stagnant fronts when designing the thing and made the gv chains with the intent that they would be a large source of gv combat and even if a gv base was captured the fight would move to the next base.

HiTech

this has gotten me reflecting on my time spent in AH things...

I have played AH since 1999 and I believe my MA maps first surfaced at the end of AH1 (Fester and Ozkansas are my creations) I enjoyed getting 40 kill sorties in p38's with each kill ticking off as it happened with a number beside it and landing them but I never got to 352 kills at the start of a new tour without dying around 300 kills.

I recall building a beautiful B-24 in 3dsmax and wanted to see it in game but I recall hitech saying that would never happen so I returned the program and got a refund as it was a very large monetary investment for the program. ironic.

I recall working on the B17 3d model plans for natedog because there were no good drawings of it. I combined photographs and a side view profile of a B-17F into 3 view line drawings for natedog and the result was one of the best 3d b17s I have ever seen... it just looks dead on I think. and I have yet to see a better bare metal skin than my default b17 skin in any resolution with effects or no effects.
I did some skins p51's p38s, b17, b25s, p39s. I thought they were pretty good at the time they look dated now but still artistically I am pleased with them.

I only ever submitted one resume for an art job that I recall thus none of this would have any relevance to anything professional as it is classified as a time sink and a hobby. The objective is to have fun and waste time.

full time hours for a year would be 2085 hours not 1000 by the way.

I am glad some people like the thousands of hours of work

But you do realize that an s at the end of the word "thousand" make it more than 2 thousand correct? I was simply giving you the benefit of the doubt by taking the minimum amount possible with the word thousands

and to not see the original post as it was edited by Skuzzy is very confusing as well.

Paranoid are you? Skuzzy  corrected a typo for me from "ID" to "IS". Really what happened was Skuzzy saw a typo in my post and told me so, I said would you fix it for me.

Hey maybe I should take the same attitude, people simply don't appreciate the hundreds of thousands of hours a work at creating entertainment for them, nor do they appreciate the amount of BS I tolerate from some people who think they are special simply because they added some content to a game.

But it is time for you to accept the fact no matter how much effort you put in, people can end up still not liking what that effort produced.

Alright, I think we all just need to chill out.

Fester has offered a lot to make the game enjoyable for people, on his own accord. I personally think FesterMA is the best map for all types of action. It may need a little fixing up, but overall, for one person's effort, I think it was a great job.

There are countless CM members who volunteer to make the game more enjoyable to play.

While, I think you do deserve credit, Hitech, for creating such a great game. I think we should Honor those who do strive to add Skins, maps, Scenarios, and arena setups to the game.

We all know that 1 person simply cannot do everything. I'd much rather see encouragement from our BBs members on how to help each other instead of so much scrutiny, especially by people like (cough Tumor cough) who do not add anything extra to the game rather than complaining and gloating.

We all have maps we hate, I particularly hate the Compello map ( looks like pig heads) because it never gets won, and the map is too big and stale. I don't hate the creator for making it, I just wish it would be removed or made smaller.

The thing is, we need people to create skins, maps, and scenarios. Hitech, I know you don't want to do that all on your own, and I'm sure you don't have time for all that. We need to encourage our community to work together to fix the problems rather than scrutinize someone who has played for 15 years and simply wants to make the game more enjoyable for other players. Even if he does brag a bit, I personally think he has every right to brag about some of the skins, Maps, and achievements he has acclaimed in AH.

Why do we want to discourage players from creating different parts to the game. I think we should all step back and use a different approach so we do not discourage others from feeling good about creating maps and skins, instead of telling them how terrible of a job they did.

You have done a great job Hitech. I guess no one has ever told you this. It is appreciated and Aces High is something special and would not exist without you creating it.

I hope you are ok. If you need a target to throw insults at I am always available if it will help.

I think you are above the petty arguments that people like me and other Muppets get ourselves into. Please don't lower yourself to our level in that way because no matter what is said in this type of thing once shots are fired no one wins and everyone just looks bad.

Admitting that had to hurt!

Hey maybe I should take the same attitude, people simply don't appreciate the hundreds of thousands of hours a work at creating entertainment for them, nor do they appreciate the amount of BS I tolerate from some people who think they are special simply because they added some content to a game.

But it is time for you to accept the fact no matter how much effort you put in, people can end up still not liking what that effort produced.

Not at all. In fact such adversity just makes it all the more impressive.

Lack of ability did not stop me from creating artistic and technological masterpieces. It just took longer.

Accomplishments through sheer determination without and innate skill or ability is something that I have always been able to do when I put my mind to it.

I concede any argument or point of conflict I created with HT and submit myself to his superior coading and BBS driveby ability. HT wins I lost this BBS battle.

One point of clarification on the last remark for the record...

I never made the maps so people would like them. skins yes I wanted people to like and I put much effort into them and their accuracy and artistic merit...

terrains were another matter. I wanted to create conflict, destruction and carnage and get peoples planes and tanks destroyed with maximum tears and whining. Much thought went into how to create traps and choke points. I wanted all the people trying to avoid fights to accidentally run into each other and start shooting by simply designing the map to facilitate this collision.

My enemies will despise the maps because I made them and I relish their aggravation. My friends will like the maps because I made them and I am happy they like them. Everyone else will not care one way or the other all they want is something to shoot at and pretty terrain to fly over or drive through while they attempt to do so.


Thus ends my participation in this thread. I now return to the mists from which I came.

im reminded of what eminem said

And all of this controversy circles me
And it seems like the media immediately points a finger at me
So I point one back at 'em, but not the index or pinkie
Or the ring or the thumb, it's the one you put up
When you don't give a duck, when you won't just put up
With the bullip they pull, 'coz they full of lip too
When a dude's gettin' bullied and shoots up your 109

Except for Hitech who built all of this,

Everyone in this thread who has not built a terrain, download the current alpha. Install it and open the TE. Then build a single island with an air field, GV spawns just to know how, and add objects for your GV to shoot at. Run the shore line maker to get nice shore lines. Raise some uplands and paint them with rock features. Remember, elevation is relative if you are missing objects you just spent hours placing on the terrain. Put in some forests and fields of various flora types. Create a flat tank gunnery range with target objects for miles. Create a tank range with forests, and several villages with static tank objects to snipe. Run the build function and play with it as an offline terrain. Then consider repeating that on a larger scale over and over to produce an MA terrain for everyone else while you are blasting the targets you set down and the drones. Took me a weekend to learn down and dirty one object at a time. There are some advanced functions that look like time savers for objects and terrain painting.

Fester is many things but, hats off to him and the other few individuals who make maps. And hats off to Hitech for making the TE work like your familiar high end graphics editing applications so you can get up to speed about as fast as self teaching Photoshop. If I can slog through it to produce an offline terrain, so can you guys.

Just skip the whizzing Hitech off like I did with stupid questions. Talk to Easycor, Ranger, and Greebo.... :O

I have been thinking about making a terrain............if the learning curve is not too steep I'll give it a try with AH III. I have seen my son make terrains for the game he plays and he does them fairly quick (in comparison to the first one he did).

We had some of the best tank fights last night that I have seen in a very long time. The Knights took 79. The Rooks wanted it back and brought out all the perked rides. Very little bomb-terdling because the eggers have to climb and fly a long ways in CraterMA. It is nice to see every GV in the game being used without the terdlings grieving the gv'ers. That's exactly why I requested A21 be deleted. GV'ing in Fester would be allot of fun.

<S>

Talk to the three I mentioned. The real issue will be the backend and how all the front end objects tie together into the whole strategic timer system. It looks like you can plop base objects and strat objects down, make ownership across your three countries evenly and it will run. As for cosmetic issues and some finesse, the three guys I mentioned.

I bet your son came to a similar realization about his map making utility. The rest is cosmetic and how artistic and creative you want to invest the time. The terrains paint on with a brush so you need to experiment to see what they look like close up. Then how to blend them together realistically. I suspect those advanced tools I referenced.

Just press buttons and don't worry......

What I have done? Nothing, but I'm not sitting here bashing other players hard work and time they put to make this game great.
