Title: General thoughts from a newb
Post by: noobnite on December 24, 2015, 06:14:49 PM
<S> to all Aces High friends and foes alike. Before I rant on, I want to make clear that is just some general thoughts on some of yelling I've heard in the past few weeks, and present a newb's humble two cents.
1. Not everyone will have a play style that everyone generally likes. I for one enjoy learning from everyone's differant tactics and techniques (and trust me, as I am generally a flying or rolling target, any constructive critiques are welcome!)
2. I've heard SO many pilots single out a few individuals for cheating. I for one have never personally observed any outright cheating ( though I spend so much time creating blazing trails in the sky I usually don't see much anyhow). If you honestly believe someone to be hacking or cheating, please, don't rage out on 200 or on your country's channel. Simply record what's going on. If you have a few squaddies in the area, ask them to record as well and take notes. Once everyone agrees that something is not as it should be, submit a complaint, and get back to enjoying this game! Don't fume for to long, when you could be cleaning out an opposing player's clock, using no cheats/hacks, only your own skill!
3. An honest to God thanks to players from all three countries  that have gone out of their way to be patient with not only me but other new players! I firmly believe that the community, with all the vast experience, knowledge, and willing spirit truly account for 60% of this simulation that many of us are addicted to!

Ok....that does it and that is my two cents worth. Merry Christmas to all, and hope to see you in the Arena's skies soon! <S>

As a long time player I fail to see any rant. I only see factual and constructive criticism. Actually more like the first three rules of game play.

Good Luck and most of all have fun and a very Merry Christmas to you and yours.

People need to stop calling people cheaters (I've been guilty). So we learn.

Great post!

awesome post and merry Christmas to you and your family. have never fought you but, obviously, you enjoy it
as much as I do!!

the 3 points you make are perfect.

as for the cheating thing.... its a right of passage.... that means you've gotten to the point
where you are good! ask shuffler and Ak-ak, they get accused of cheating all the time,
but they're just good players!!!

Merry Christmas to all!!  <S>

Very well said.  I am also an on again off again newb.  It is what you make of it.  I fly a bomber a lot.  Some find it boring, but I feel it brings out the feeling of success and I do a job many won't.  Bottom line, play the way you want and enjoy.  It is your 1500 pennies.  And welcome.

The whining about cheating on 200 is just someones ego being hurt since the only other explanation to their virtual Death would be their own suckage. Being accused of cheating is a compliment, ist the AH way of saying, "you were so good that i have no idea how you beat me."

Yus.  Because he's probably shot out your other 1.5 eyes.

Both pilots are superior, and can teach you much.

this has to be one of the best posts of a select few, from one of the newer players, of Aces High....... now if they all had the same mentality...that would be simply awesome!

Noobnite, welcome to Aces High!  Many of us are very glad to have new players join the awesome fun.

Also, I would personally like to invite you to play in the upcoming Scenario "Southern Conquest".  Scenarios are a different dimension of play in the game.  We are very welcoming to new players in them, too.

I would be happy to have you join my bombing group (Axis 6) if you'd like.
