Title: Good Bye AH
Post by: KrisKros on December 30, 2015, 04:31:12 AM
An entire week of fighting 2 countries, who won't fight each other is getting old, so I wish you all farewell after this weekend is up.

I even tried switching to nits this week to try and invoke a rook/nit fight.
Porked AA to 0%, white-flagged a town and 2 v-bases, but could not get a single nit to assist in taking a rook field.
"We're not fighting rooks" was the nit reply.

AH unresponsive to requests to scrub/repair maps with undefendable strats.
AH unresponsive to bringing back a map everyone liked.

Good bye.

While you were on all I did was bomb rooks. I bombed towns, I bombed strats, I bombed everything. Makayla and I took 205 and 236. We had more help with 236 but we started it. On Sunday night Knights horded 208, 205, 206, 207. No we were there but maybe not the instant you needed us.

I saw you bombing strats and I even gave a wtg. If you want to take bases you have to get with the right people like Makayla, Atlau, Vosem, Seagle, and Zorak. I probably missed a few but those guys are dependable.

Another cry baby leaves with his hed hung down................bye bye. Or is this just an attempt to get HiTech to change the game for one person.....we all play under the same constraints...........only some people are better at handling adversity than others. The people busy doing other things and not watching their strats and HQ have to pay the price....fixing the game so stick jocky's can run up their personal scores have to take some of the blame for strats being wiped out. grow up for pete sakes this is a war game.

Good bye.

I generally fight more on the rook knight front at most times as knights seem o be more active on the bush knight front. I intimates many attacks solo Sunday and yesterday. I have fun from epic durable to porking it's to stir the hornet nest. All you need is one knight and more will follow. If you wish to quit that's on you. But there's always players will to stir the pot

that's because knights thought you were a spy--since you've never switched before.
all the stuff I saw you do was great. but you forgot to mention that while you were there started relentlesy  accusing a player of being a spy. and if I remember right you were only there for 2 days. true he has a big mouth, but he's not a spy.

knights are always fighting bish and rooks at the same time, it's not our fought if bish and rooks won't fight each other. true the knights do things back asswards. fighting rooks when they should be fighting bish-fighting bish when they should be fighting bish.
meaning-if bish have all our bases we should get our bases back from bish and vice/versa.
plus don't forget that bish and rooks almost always outnumber the knights.

hate to see you go-but if you feel you must than do so.
maybe a little break is what you need.
but you will miss this game and the AH community-yes including me haha. 
so long.

Just switch sides or try a different arena.  Seems everyone goes through a rut at some point playing the game.  It will pass.  You have been an asset from what I know of you.  Keep at it.  There are others feeling the same way.  Would hate to see you leave!

do you bish and rook players ever check the roster to see the player count. knights are outnumbered 98% of the time. and if you check cstat you will see how many are in the tower and how many are in  flight. and even then we are still outnumbered.

its hard for 30 knights to fight 50 bish and 40 or more rooks.

so if you feel you are unable to find a fight don't blame the knights all we do is fight all day and all night.

I don't understand why people in the MA get angry when other people don't want to be apart of missions.
Play the game and join the squads that want to capture bases, or play in tanks, or furball, or whatever. The MA is a unorganized war. You have to make of it as you will and do the things in game that you want to do.

Kriskros, if you want organized war missions, join the FSO or organized scenarios in the Special Events. There are other parts to AH that allow for much more structured and organized war missions that you will have fun in.

Coming here and throwing your stick down and complaning on the boards about how each team handles the war game, while there is no real team coridination to begin with in the MA, or nothing HTC can even do about it, is childish and is nothing but attention seeking.

It's funny how perceptions differ.  Lot's of times it has seemed that Knits and Bish are attacking Rooks and (mostly) leaving each other alone.  Not saying it is always the case.  Maybe different maps or times-of-day create different dynamics.

When Rooks are (seemingly) being ganged, I just find a the best fight available at the time and don't worry about winning the "war".  Less frustration and more fun. 

YMMV.

Defending the factories is interesting on Fester map. There is no radar indication that there is a bomber anywhere near the factories, and then the factory is suddenly flashing. When you get there the bombers are very high. Add to that the fact that you never know if the attack is NOE, or stratospheric and it becomes difficult, but not impossible. There are still bomb-and-bailers, but out of all the encounters I had this last week that only happened once to me.

And there are plenty of people defending the factories, which is where the other stories of bomb-and-bailers comes from.

The problem, as I see it, is that if HQ goes down there will be three to six guys that resupply it. Usually two guys will resupply the factories, and maybe one guy for the city. Meanwhile, the factories are more important than HQ. Typical.

I didn't feel pinned back when I blasted your city down to 0% without seeing a single defender and a furball just one sector away.

And it was your countryman that bailed when I got within 3k of his lancs.

KrisKros, for the first time since I started to fly in the MA, I have left the knights, for exactly the reason you stated. It has gotten so bad that I couldn't take it any more, and have joined the rooks. It's a shame, but frankly, when i ask on country why won't you hit the rooks, and win the map, the reply was "because we hate the bish". Really sad, and absolutely detrimental to the overall game.

Post by: Chris79 on December 30, 2015, 11:30:11 AM
I understand the sentiment to a point. I have myself contemplated unsubscribing a few times for similar yet different reasons. The last few times i logged on, its either been Compello or Fester maps, each time I pretty much immediately logged off. My interest in AH had waned to the point in which I do not like to tool around on maps that the current population cannot sustain. In fact, the only maps I actually really enjoy are, Pizza, Crater, Mindinao, Canyon, and that one with the tank town that no one uses. Sadly those particular maps are generally reset quickly. Although I do not tend to up either low eny AC or GV's, I find the entire concept of eny to be a complete and abject failure. I decided to log on briefly a few days back, I checked the country status as I usually do and noticed an eny of 17. No biggie, I use 18, 23, and 30 eny AC, so no big deal to me. Then I panned around the map "Festering Wound map" and noticed that country A, and County B, had not one base flashing between the two, instead country A and country B were both attacking country C (eny 17). Alright, this is typical, most times one country is getting ganged by the other two, and I am not singling out a specific country either. But here lies the point, Country C which has the most players hence eny of 17, was being ganged and ultimately out numbered. It seems to me that the only way the eny concept holds any merit is if an equal percentage of each specific country fights the other two, which is an uncommon occurrence. All in all I will say there are two reasons why I still have a subscription, one being $15 is not a large expense, and second is that for whatever reason my wife bought me a nice rig for Christmas and i feel somewhat compelled to attempt to use it

Are you quitting your shade too?  AHHAA... just kidding.

Kriskros, I think there's a slight possibility that the Bish bring this on themselves.  Now, I'm not saying it's absolutely all the time, but I believe there is some merit to my theory.  Bish have a few folks that, well.... you can count on them rallying up a little horde, or a big horde (whatever) and making runs at undefended bases.  Then, as soon as a couple of defenders show up, they will without fail leave, and go find ANOTHER undefended base to attack.  If there's anything more dam annoying, I don't know what it is.  Bomb'n-Bailers too... Bish seem to breed them.  But anyway, Bish do this constantly.  They also have what SEEMS to a guy flying for another country, and entire segment of their population who do nothing but resupply bases.  What I'm saying is, Bish kinda have these characteristics that draw the attention of the opposition.  Whack-a-Mole(Bish) is IMO WHY you guys end up getting ganged.  The Knits in general seem to pursue the (Nick Nolte voice) Full-Frontal-Assault (/Nick Nolte Voice) method, but they also have an inordinate amount of Tools-in-Jets and Stratospheric alt-monkeys, fighting them is actually not as fun... and Whack-a-Mole presents much less opportunity of being picked by a Tool.  I don't know what corny characteristics Rooks have, cause I've always been one.  Well, besides not giving a crap if we're losing bases AND a definite affinity for screwing up a base take.  We have those for sure.

But back to your gripe.  C'mon man, taking your ball and stomping off isn't exactly going to solve anything.  Oh, you might save MAYBE $30... but ya, you'll be back.  I've been around since the very beginning, and besides lower-than-awhile-back numbers, nothing has really changed.  It's the Bish turn in the bucket.  It'll roll back around to Rook, and Knit... I never heard you griping when it was happening to Rooks.

You provide some pretty cool game-play KK... pull your britches up and get back in there.

When I first started playing I was a Bish but soon after I saw that Rooks always had low numbers so I went that way, this was around 2001/2002. Since then all countries have had a turn at being constantly outnumbered, that's why I enjoyed switching countries to help the underdogs (or maybe it was just to get more fights).
If it's getting me down I take a break then come back refreshed, sometimes even with a new name to annoy old buddies for a short period. I don't think I would ever leave for good there are too many people who I enjoy gaming with here.

Our squad doubled in size once we started taking HQ down as a stated regular goal. More people have joined our squad, and participate with us than complain about it on this forum. The majority seems silent on this issue. We have gained people and helped them stay playing AH because we teach them how to play, to have fun, and to do other things than furball, hoarde and pick in uber rides. I can think of 3 newbs that as a squad we have playing because we take the time to teach them things. The learning curve is steep on this game. How many people have allegedly left over HQ down vs. the curve being steep?

I understand there are a couple of squad leaders that are how should I say... butthurt, because your job is now harder without a darbar. Once again there is not one shred of evidence that players are leaving the game because of HQ being down. If they are leaving I suspect it is because they are looking for an easier gaming or console type experience anyways. Suck it up and be a leader, 120 mins of HQ time is only 10 guys making less than 3 runs. Worst case that is what 15 mins? If we do it when there are only 15 people on the other side on, maybe we want to take a metric crap-ton of bases like we did last night. Thus causing two sides to gang up on the weak one, IT"S A 3 WAY WAR 2/3 SIDES LOSE THE MAP. I have been both Night and Rook, when I was a Night for a while we would go Rook because they always seemed outnumbered. To hear a Bish cry like this lets me know our tactics are working. Bish are organized and home of the mega hoarde, some guys on that side I have NEVER been in a dogfight with. They just pick me form capped positions while in the mega hoarde, so what I think it is fun to take off from a capped base.

Vriacu on the other hand you only seem to be the leader of leaders with no followers. Good luck with that buddy.

Our squad doubled in size once we started taking HQ down as a stated regular goal. More people have joined our squad, and participate with us than complain about it on this forum. The majority seems silent on this issue. We have gained people and helped them stay playing AH because we teach them how to play, to have fun, and to do other things than furball, hoarde and pick in uber rides. I can think of 3 newbs that as a squad we have playing because we take the time to teach them things. The learning curve is steep on this game. How many people have allegedly left over HQ down vs. the curve being steep?

I understand there are a couple of squad leaders that are how should I say... butthurt, because your job is now harder without a darbar. Once again there is not one shred of evidence that players are leaving the game because of HQ being down. If they are leaving I suspect it is because they are looking for an easier gaming or console type experience anyways. Suck it up and be a leader, 120 mins of HQ time is only 10 guys making less than 3 runs. Worst case that is what 15 mins? If we do it when there are only 15 people on the other side on, maybe we want to take a metric crap-ton of bases like we did last night. Thus causing two sides to gang up on the weak one, IT"S A 3 WAY WAR 2/3 SIDES LOSE THE MAP. I have been both Night and Rook, when I was a Night for a while we would go Rook because they always seemed outnumbered. To hear a Bish cry like this lets me know our tactics are working. Bish are organized and home of the mega hoarde, some guys on that side I have NEVER been in a dogfight with. They just pick me form capped positions while in the mega hoarde, so what I think it is fun to take off from a capped base.

Vriacu on the other hand you only seem to be the leader of leaders with no followers. Good luck with that buddy.

Yes this game needs more grumpy old men! I have been saying that since 2000, thank god you do the passive aggressive possessive been here since 1995, right there in the signature line so we know. Now my next question is: Are you an active player in the MA? If so I am amazed, and welcome to chase the tail! 'Cuz this argument is going to go round and round... probably forever. Also, do you plan on leaving because the HQ goes down for a couple of hours a week? If yes, will it really just be a hollow bluff to get Skuzzy to yield to your lazy game play style? You know "because the customer is always right" (rarely).

The best thing that could happen for this game is loosing a bunch of players who think like you with your negativity forcing HTC to go get a new player base.

Please quit

These senseless threats of quitting are so baseless and cowardly.

Just an observers thoughts after reading this thread.

1: Many seem to discount Kris for being a quitter.

2: Others express loss at the removal of good player. Include me here.

3: Some express understanding of the issues that caused Kris to leave.

All I can say is that individual or collective actions that cause people to quit will ultimately end this game. Maybe there are things that Hitech can do but I know there are many things that we members can do to keep this game vibrant and alive.

That enemy you may hate is the source of the competition that keeps us interested.

I have experienced what he is going through and I ever left

I went through the verbal abuse of players like vDallas and it was brutal at times early in my playing days but I never left

To this day I think the majority of players like you are so full of themselves that yall collectively band together to try and change the game to make it fit your style of play then complain about it when nothing changes.

I know KK and have played with him a lot when I was a Bish full time he is a good player but I have no pity for him.

I do not know KK, but I am saddened to see him leave. I am sad to see anyone leave. At a time when we need a player base, we are running off good players by telling them to go ahead and quit the game. I'm sorry, but shouldn't we try to keep them? Get him involved with FSO or something that helps to keep players playing. Better fights won't come if we let players go. They will come when we keep them. Just my opinion..

ps the 49 rook squad also have hate tendencies to bish but i think they would attack knights.  considering they are the hottest squad in aces high rite now, the threat to bish is at a code red level.
I flew with the 49'rs last night, yes bish had about 15% of the map, so what! I can't count how many times our side looked like that. Bish/Rook &  Knit/Rook bases all twinkling while maybe one Bish/Knit base was flashing. I think a few reasons the Bish are picked on is:
 
Two weekers are auto bish, or at least they were.
In the early morning (pacific time) when no one seems to be on, Bish roll undefended bases.
When Bish try to horde a base that has defenders, they more often fail... 38's of death sound familiar, and Pony hordes diving from 20k... becoming Bish lawn darts!

So what is the cure... kinda like any war. Side vs side. Yes, in Germany had two fronts, and the U.S. had two fronts, so multiple fronts would be cool. But is was axis vs allies not axis vs allies vs martians.

So why doesn't HTC change the format, this issue keeps coming up.. I think perhaps it is building the maps to go with it.
.... time for a paradigm shift to get aces high up on top!
                                                                                              HTC, Skuzzy and company, you watching? The natives are restless!

Tumer that is so funny you should be a comedian. 90% of the time I go after buffs hitting Bish strats they bail when I get close. the 49ers are very proficient at this. I don't even at this point know if they are nit or rook, but without fail the bomb and bail. bish do not horde any more than any of the other countries, that is a myth all countries hoarde at some point. BTW how is Kris saving $30.00? Are you accusing him of having a shade account?


Are you quitting your shade too?  AHHAA... just kidding.

Kriskros, I think there's a slight possibility that the Bish bring this on themselves.  Now, I'm not saying it's absolutely all the time, but I believe there is some merit to my theory.  Bish have a few folks that, well.... you can count on them rallying up a little horde, or a big horde (whatever) and making runs at undefended bases.  Then, as soon as a couple of defenders show up, they will without fail leave, and go find ANOTHER undefended base to attack.  If there's anything more dam annoying, I don't know what it is.  Bomb'n-Bailers too... Bish seem to breed them.  But anyway, Bish do this constantly.  They also have what SEEMS to a guy flying for another country, and entire segment of their population who do nothing but resupply bases.  What I'm saying is, Bish kinda have these characteristics that draw the attention of the opposition.  Whack-a-Mole(Bish) is IMO WHY you guys end up getting ganged.  The Knits in general seem to pursue the (Nick Nolte voice) Full-Frontal-Assault (/Nick Nolte Voice) method, but they also have an inordinate amount of Tools-in-Jets and Stratospheric alt-monkeys, fighting them is actually not as fun... and Whack-a-Mole presents much less opportunity of being picked by a Tool.  I don't know what corny characteristics Rooks have, cause I've always been one.  Well, besides not giving a crap if we're losing bases AND a definite affinity for screwing up a base take.  We have those for sure.

But back to your gripe.  C'mon man, taking your ball and stomping off isn't exactly going to solve anything.  Oh, you might save MAYBE $30... but ya, you'll be back.  I've been around since the very beginning, and besides lower-than-awhile-back numbers, nothing has really changed.  It's the Bish turn in the bucket.  It'll roll back around to Rook, and Knit... I never heard you griping when it was happening to Rooks.

You provide some pretty cool game-play KK... pull your britches up and get back in there.

You are a bunch of clown, you cowards all bomb and bail, yeah that is real game play, 49ers are the easiest kills in the game.



Our squad doubled in size once we started taking HQ down as a stated regular goal. More people have joined our squad, and participate with us than complain about it on this forum. The majority seems silent on this issue. We have gained people and helped them stay playing AH because we teach them how to play, to have fun, and to do other things than furball, hoarde and pick in uber rides. I can think of 3 newbs that as a squad we have playing because we take the time to teach them things. The learning curve is steep on this game. How many people have allegedly left over HQ down vs. the curve being steep?

I understand there are a couple of squad leaders that are how should I say... butthurt, because your job is now harder without a darbar. Once again there is not one shred of evidence that players are leaving the game because of HQ being down.

Suck it up and be a leader, 120 mins of HQ time is only 10 guys making less than 3 runs. Worst case that is what 15 mins? If we do it when there are only 15 people on the other side on, maybe we want to take a metric crap-ton of bases like we did last night. Thus causing two sides to gang up on the weak one, IT"S A 3 WAY WAR 2/3 SIDES LOSE THE MAP. I have been both Night and Rook, when I was a Night for a while we would go Rook because they always seemed outnumbered. To hear a Bish cry like this lets me know our tactics are working. Bish are organized and home of the mega hoarde, some guys on that side I have NEVER been in a dogfight with. They just pick me form capped positions while in the mega hoarde, so what I think it is fun to take off from a capped base.

An entire week of fighting 2 countries, who won't fight each other is getting old, so I wish you all farewell after this weekend is up.

I even tried switching to nits this week to try and invoke a rook/nit fight.
Porked AA to 0%, white-flagged a town and 2 v-bases, but could not get a single nit to assist in taking a rook field.
"We're not fighting rooks" was the nit reply.

AH unresponsive to requests to scrub/repair maps with undefendable strats.
AH unresponsive to bringing back a map everyone liked.

Good bye.


LOL.....this from the guy I last saw flying B29 missions at 36,000 feet.

Post by: VuduVee on December 31, 2015, 04:00:00 AM
even though kriskros reason for leaving is pure hypocrisy in my opinion, i still hate to see another player leave. but i understand where hes coming from. the problem is that he only cares about these things when he himself gets some of it. in the next few days he'll be right back to taking undefended bases, ganging 10 vs 1 and all the other crap people do that hurts the game.
 so , KrisKros, dont be a part of what you dont like if youre not willing to take your medicine. rpm and Rox, that goes for both of you also. you guys complain about the very same, exact things you do to the other teams. its time you look in the mirror. its time for the players to change, because the game is fine. the players could do a lot better in policing ourselves.
 an example:  very recently, like 2 weeks ago recent. you guys had 60 players, nits had 62. rooks had 43, yet both teams were dogging the low number team. and not one single nit/bish fight. it was this way for 4 days and most of the 5th day. literally 112 vs 43. we had 38% of our own bases on a giant map.(the one with the 10k vbase in the NE and an airbase/port next to the HQ). i killed KK as he was attacking and white flagging yet another rook base. bish had 35% of our bases and hes still attacking us? if you dont like this happening to you, then dont do it others. its that simple. why not go fight the team that is the biggest threat? why kick a dead horse and not the dog that may bite? in my opinion, its avoiding combat.
again, if you dont like it happening to you, dont do it to others. work on the other team, go take a challenge.

its a good thing we dont have the strats that move when the base next to it is taken anymore. i could tell this thread about some dirty play from KK, Cane and HOtard. its hard for me to feel bad for KK bc of that little ordeal they pulled, but i still do feel bad for him. i understand what hes saying. even though i hate to.

I'm a proud 49er. I have NEVER bombed and bailed. Yet. I like to land my damage and kills. (I like gunning from my 24's) I'm not going to say it won't ever happen. If I find it expedient to do so in the middle of a long bombing run (Like I'm needed to fight some HORDE) I'll do it. I will NEVER do it when I have a fighter chasing me. I like the combat!

And by the way, it's my $15 and I'll play the game the way I see fit. I follow the rules. And I will use them to my advantage when I can. Change the rules and I will adapt. It a strategic war game.

even though kriskros reason for leaving is pure hypocrisy in my opinion, i still hate to see another player leave. but i understand where hes coming from. the problem is that he only cares about these things when he himself gets some of it. in the next few days he'll be right back to taking undefended bases, ganging 10 vs 1 and all the other crap people do that hurts the game.
 so , KrisKros, dont be a part of what you dont like if youre not willing to take your medicine. rpm and Rox, that goes for both of you also. you guys complain about the very same, exact things you do to the other teams. its time you look in the mirror. its time for the players to change, because the game is fine. the players could do a lot better in policing ourselves.
 an example:  very recently, like 2 weeks ago recent. you guys had 60 players, nits had 62. rooks had 43, yet both teams were dogging the low number team. and not one single nit/bish fight. it was this way for 4 days and most of the 5th day. literally 112 vs 43. we had 38% of our own bases on a giant map.(the one with the 10k vbase in the NE and an airbase/port next to the HQ). i killed KK as he was attacking and white flagging yet another rook base. bish had 35% of our bases and hes still attacking us? if you dont like this happening to you, then dont do it others. its that simple. why not go fight the team that is the biggest threat? why kick a dead horse and not the dog that may bite? in my opinion, its avoiding combat.
again, if you dont like it happening to you, dont do it to others. work on the other team, go take a challenge.

its a good thing we dont have the strats that move when the base next to it is taken anymore. i could tell this thread about some dirty play from KK, Cane and HOtard. its hard for me to feel bad for KK bc of that little ordeal they pulled, but i still do feel bad for him. i understand what hes saying. even though i hate to.

Now THAT is well written, Sir!!!

you play the game for strats and base taking not everyone does, some like to only GV some like to only fly fighters and some only fly bombers, for you to tell some they are lazy and bad for the game because they dont play your way is freaking pathetic, you are the one who truly is bad for the game spewing that kinda BS. i used to play every spare minute i had alot of it was in fighters everytime i log in now days its hard to find those furballs like in 2008-2012 so i find it hard to play anymore i gotta force myself to be honest, i do like all aspect of the game but none like i do fighters and the fighter game is far from where it was and is rather boring now days, when the 12 hour rule was forced it killed the fighter game say what you want but it went down hill fast many asked for it to be changed never happend its now 6 hours but still should be back to an hour to promote more furballs that may bring back some of the players who left i know i would fly more if the furballs was fun hard to make that happen when everyone who wants to fight is stuck on a side and cant move for hours 

 Hack nails this and if you have no idea what he is talking about yet run your virtual mouth here on bbs than your just wasting your time.

Defend your City... I know I do

Defend your Strats... I know I do

Defend your HQ... I know I do

Resupply your Strats and HQ if they go down.... I know I do

Otherwise your lazy, bad for the game, and apart of the real problem in this community :ahand

An entire week of fighting 2 countries, who won't fight each other is getting old, so I wish you all farewell after this weekend is up.

I even tried switching to nits this week to try and invoke a rook/nit fight.
Porked AA to 0%, white-flagged a town and 2 v-bases, but could not get a single nit to assist in taking a rook field.
"We're not fighting rooks" was the nit reply.

AH unresponsive to requests to scrub/repair maps with undefendable strats.
AH unresponsive to bringing back a map everyone liked.

Good bye.

The game has to have a villain.  As a Rook, I see the Bishops in this light.  I'm not sure of the figures, but it seems that the Bishops win their fare share of the maps, if not more.  For that reason, I tend to target the Bishops more often.  Hope to see you in the future, you scoundrel.
Title: Re: Good Bye AH
Post by: molybdenum on December 31, 2015, 07:17:49 PM
Bish do tend to win more maps than the other teams, and we had a run of something like 10 out of 13 maps starting a few maps ago going back. So I totally get it why bish should be targeted, we're the biggest threat to a map loss (from a purely tactical standpoint).
Human nature is to beat up on the weaker people, unfortunately, so when one side is being rolled, especially when it is the typically stronger side, the other tends to join in. Some players (<S> to you) are looking for adrenaline and action and don't care who wins, but more just want to thump their chests in triumph, even if the victory was a cheap one. That won't ever change, so why not use it to try to fix the problem?

Upping the perk point award from the measly 25 to 50 or 75 might induce more competitive game play. Would harness the self-serving attitudes of many players toward a more competitive direction, since they'd get more out of a map win?

   Advertising is needed to sell product and I haven't seen any since they hooked me years ago.  :uhoh

I was hesitant to write this because HTC is an organization that I have a lot of respect for because of their vision and fidelity among other things. But the biggest obstacle keeping Aces High back in my opinion isn't the lack of new players replacing players lost, but the lack of new game developers. Hopefully with a new polished version of the game HTC can make a commercial that will gain a lot of capital with which HTC can procure some more talent.

Indeed.  I for one am growing tired of these clowns who encourage people to quit.  Kris has a valid (if not misinformed) gripe.  How about instead of jumping on the elohttuB bandwagon so common on the inTARDnet, offer some kind of help.

Kris, I would guess you're lurking.  Hope so.  Anyway, never mind the idiots among us.  A single country getting ganged really is nothing new.  Do a search WAY WAY back and you'll find me griping about the same thing.  It's cyclic.  I will roll back to your favor.  But the real message is, you make the game fun when you're on.  Take a break, and come back.

I would say more of misguided than misinformed. KK (and most other armchair generals) have built up a reputation of being grief givers. They push to the edge of the parameters of the game and use it to their advantage for no other use than themselves and to "crush" their opponents, throwing honor out the window. I can remember plenty of times seeing the same folks that are griping about the same subject. They have no qualms to take down HQ, horde undefended bases and yes, KK has been spotted many times switching sides to move strat factories( when they moved if you took certain fields) and sink CVs from no where.
If this is the game you play, so be it. Play the game you want, however only you can choose to be in the status of "being a dick" or not. Complaining about it when it happens to you is just silly.

 I have been playing since 05 and been through a few thousand maps, I could care less who wins. Although I don't "like" to be shot down, horded or blinded, its part of the game. If things get too tough, just log and take a break, we all have good days and bad days.

If you guys are so worried about numbers dwindling, teach the new guys how to deal with the bad days. Teach them to up from another base and make the best of a situation instead of complaining about it on country or 200 and making the game look bad. No matter how big the horde, you will ALLWAYS have a base to take off on and we will ALLWAYS have a map to play in. The young generation is all about instant gratification and this game takes a lot of patience to learn and somewhat master and that to me is the only reason why most choose to quit.

What a lot of us don't realize with the AvA is , We can set up the arena for any squad or group that want to practice, hold squad nights or anything. We get one squad or at least three people in and players will come in. I have seen this happen. All of us on the staff are willing to help out. We are easy to approach and will be happy to give you a certain plane set. Just contact one of us and we can do something..

peeps are generally lazy, many do not want to get along. This is why the MA is the popular one. Things have been designed for simplicity and ease of use and jibber jabber.
The AvA is a lot more work for less reward in many peeps minds. What makes AvA what it is, is that next step at realism when it comes to air combat.
Real combat in ww2 did not have icons, or texting. Lets face it as well, real flying is prolly boring as hell except for those moments of abject fear. The MA gets to the meat of the matter faster. You can mission up or just furball, MA is good for furball'in.

You just gotta have fun! If its not fun, most will go away. Its on the players to make it fun, NOT AH!
AH provides the bat, the balls, the field, what we choose to do with these implements is on us. So if you fly alone, join a squad, if you spend most of your time driving others, stop, drive yourself. And most important is that every current player, should recruit a new player, just 1......

I was just making a joke  :D

I love the AvA, the no Icons, the plane match-ups, and the fights that go on in there. They are all fairly matched and very fun, plus the action is quick and people can't often just run away.

IMO, its more for the advanced crowd though.
It's a great learning experience and really helps you judge distance.

I certainly wish more people would fly in the AvA but the sole reason is that people automatically go to the MA because of #s to fight and or rank.

I think there needs to be minimum of 8 to 10 people in there at all times and you will start to see more people click on the AvA instead and make it more popular. I don't know how to make that happen, but there has got to be a battle in there to attract people.

Thursday nights when Waystin was an AvA CM he would promise numbers to shoot at on the garbage ride side. 4-8 of us pigs would show up to be his numbers. And people showed up to fly the good rides and crap on us for the obvious disadvantage we flew with. It was only for Waystin that we piggies agreed to take that crapola. The MA is more popular because of the illusion many buy into that they can fly the good rides 24x7 and stand a better chance of...whatever. One of the reasons ENY is resented. The AvA can be very rude to the casual player in a DA sort of way, while the MA has better odds of being able to save ones ego with speed or power.

The AvA has always seemed more of an unstructured dueling arena with unequal rides where you always seem to be asked to balance sides by going to the less equal ride side if you show up late. Waystin had a good sense of things by promising numbers on the less equal ride side as one CM's answer to getting numbers into the AvA once a week.

This is getting real old, real fast. This game has turned to junk and is not improving. 2 countries attack 1 country ruining gameplay for 1/3 of the player base. HTC gives 0% care about it. The only recourse is to quit funding this trainwreck.

Or you could cry about your picture on a forum, threaten legal action, then quit... Why not just skip the middle man?

I had a crap weekend. I flew like utter scheisse in the MA and got killed by the same two dudes about 8 times.

Therefore, I propose the following:

1. AH should introduce an "airhawgs tether" to players who are too good. This "tether" would serve to limit them to a "sphere of play". The length of the sphere's radius would be helpfully added to their icon. Being designated an "airhawg" is a special province of the "rules committee", the staffing of which I'll propose elsewhere. 
2. I should get a special "uberkanonen" with "smartace" bullets that would nudge my accuracy, assuming I was +/- 20 yards (or so) of hitting anything. I mean, isn't that close enough?
3. Dale should make Roy change my nappies. I crapped 'em pretty good last weekend.

You all should be ashamed of yourselves, picking on that nice man. I'm going to extra-load a pie and have Zack bake it up for him. It should be fragrant and delicious, given that I've extra-loaded it for him.

Killed one of his buffs yesterday...and soon after that had my brains all over the cockpit, good news was I could see the wing he shot off thru the bloodsplatter, it floated away like a petal in the wind....I on the other hand, fell like a rock, tied to an anchor,  tied to an elephant, with a rocket tied to his back and pointed towards earth. In other words, my typical landing

"Winning" is as the player defines it.  There is "winning" the war, "winning" the fight, "winning" by bombing a spawn camper, the list goes on. 

Personally, that's why I like this game.  I am not held to a specific version of "winning" by the game designer.  I am free to define my own version of "winning".  While I don't appreciate the effects some versions of "winning" people/squads have, I don't want to have someone else tell ME how I should be "winning"....  In other words, it's my $15..   :bolt:

An entire week of fighting 2 countries, who won't fight each other is getting old, so I wish you all farewell after this weekend is up.

I even tried switching to nits this week to try and invoke a rook/nit fight.
Porked AA to 0%, white-flagged a town and 2 v-bases, but could not get a single nit to assist in taking a rook field.
"We're not fighting rooks" was the nit reply.

AH unresponsive to requests to scrub/repair maps with undefendable strats.
AH unresponsive to bringing back a map everyone liked.

Good bye.
I remember getting all worked up about that sort of thing a decade and change ago. Trends like that come and go

I didn’t read the full thread.

In the last week this is the third “active” player that has posted leaving the game. I know of three others that have went quietly due to poor game play. These are not players that run around sneaking a base or bail the minute a red guy gets near them. Two of them are like bulldogs when they decide to take a base no matter the amount of life’s it takes.
And I agree with the OP,  since the week of Christmas it has been a double dar on both sides of the bish front. There has been no change at all. Hell I don’t even log on anymore after 4pm. It’s pointless for some one that likes to fight in planes.
You guys that brag about “that’s just more targets to kill” I do not see you switching for the fights. Most of you that say that are in 51s k4s and tempys hovering over the attackers of the base swooping in for kills on the few and very planes trying to defend the base.
I agree there are things Htc could do to mitigate the hording from any and all sides. Haven’t seen the first change of it so apparently it does not bother them much so I doubt any chances are near for game play stabilization. I guess when the MA gets to 50 player average at prime time and they are all hovering at there bases at 20k and flying perk bombers at 35k maybe you guys will see changes. Unfortunately it will be to late.

This is getting real old, real fast. This game has turned to junk and is not improving. 2 countries attack 1 country ruining gameplay for 1/3 of the player base. HTC gives 0% care about it. The only recourse is to quit funding this trainwreck.

There is one other option.
Everyone leave the country being ganged and go to the two countries not being ganged.
Attacking totally empty space does get boring after a while.

Since I am unable to play at the moment I have no idea what map is up. But I do know one thing. The larger maps while an asset when there were much more number paying are now a detriment to game play. Makes it hard to not fight when space is limited and there is no place else to go. Maps in rotation should perhaps be mandated by the numbers on. The larger the average player base. The larger the maps.
Hypothetically speaking. if there were only 9 players that played the game. Would you really want or need a 50 base map?

Here is a screen shot from the 29th. Yellow is Bish, Purple are Knights, and Green are Rooks. COunt the bases that the Rooks have. Sure looks like we were ganging the Bish there. Knights needed 3 or 4 bases to win the map and they wouldnt attack the Bish. Bish on the other hand would grab a Knit base now and then.

Not doubting. The game play is so bad now. I’ve logged on a few times in the last weeks for a hour or so. But fighting 5 at a time gets tiring or chasing late war speed monsters in a 20 eny plane is boring. Great game just very bad game play but seems to be the sentiment of many years passed and no change seen for the future.

Map size sure doesnt help the situation. Most of the new maps are medium sized maps, the large maps are gone.....for the moment.

Game play has really hurt the game these days. Players seem to concentrate on grabbing bases as quick as they can with as little opposition as possible. Start defending and they disappear. The screen shot I posted had 120 players against 40 players. I asked "why" the Knights , who had 35% of Rook fields already and got a few stupid answers about how they were getting ganged yesterday so it was our turn.

HTC should add something that forces a team to switch from team to team on their attacks. For every 2 bases they grab from team A, they must take at least one from team B.

As for the uber dweebs who do nothing but pick players that are fighting.... I wish there was something that could be done. Too many ponys, temps, F4U4, 152, D9 and such screaming in at 400 to pick guys FIGHTING it out. How long is a new guy never mind a vet going to want to play with that crap going on? I would think most players are looking for "action" and these pickers take away any chance of that. Sure you could join the team and climb to 20K+ and hover over a fight to pick only when you are never in danger of having someone fight back. Soon we will all be circling at 30K waiting for one guy to get too low..... like 20K and pick them. Sounds fun right?

WIth HTC working on their new game I dont see much happening in AH. Only time will tell.

Funny. What should I try?  190 and 51 so I can run?  Even spits las and niks run until they have numbers. Like I said it’s the game play now a days. And the unfortunate parts are when you run into some one that will fight you still can’t fight because of all the hang around in a fight. Like when you run into teckwreck or the Stig those guys fight but after about the third turn one of the two us has a “helper” wether we tell them to stay out or not.

People want MA to be more realistic, people want MA to be more arcade, people expect 1v1 in MA, people use MA to fly as a team and practice teamworking skills for special events etc. MA seems to be an open environment where imagination is the limit for people playing the game for different reasons, but every person who is egocentric enough, wants to change it according to their exact liking.
