Title: I Wish For A New BBS

  [Warning: Sarcasm ahead]

  I wish we had a BBS for players who actually like this game, and want to be helpful to other players.

We have that now. Players care about this game and make suggestions to try and fix the parts they think might make it more fun for them. The problem is the "for them" part.

He makes a point. 

Too frequently suggestions are related to their game play, and not the entire game.

People make suggestions and "alpha testers" think they speak for HTC..."we are testing things in alpha your problem doesn't matter that is so aces high 2"

I wish people would stop crying on the BBS and start playing. I wish people who cry on the BBS and don't play the game (Like literally don't have a subscription) would get off the BBS.

Question: How do you know who subscribes to the game and who doesn't?

Answer: you don't

Not everyone has their handle in their sig. Even fewer use their game handle as their BBS name.

I started creating some great reply to this but then I came to the conclusion.....people who care about the game post here.  It may not be sweetness and light but it is the truth.  Those of us that post negative things probably care more than those that post the positive.  We are invested and we care.

I would agree with this, for the majority of people who criticize the game. It's when they say something is bad, but don't give a suggestion as to how to fix it.

a lot of players really do care about the game and are happy to help. there will always be those, that hide behind and computer and have something derisive to say. that's why skuzzy has a full time job as a babysitter!!

I like to think I'm one of those that cares about the game and will help anyone that asks

Can you imagine how much extra money HTC could make by supplying the purses needed for the purse fights on these boards?

I think hitech once said something along the lines of "what people ask for is not what they really want".

Forums are fine except for the search function in which the first 150 hits are no newer than 12 years old.

If you do an advanced search you can limit the number of days it will search back. 999 days is the general amount I use unless Im looking for something from the old "way back" machine.

Well, I believe this is a new BBS, so there's half your wish.

For the 2nd half of your wish, there are still some helpful folks here.  Hell, I've given away many computer parts on here
just to try and help others get in the sky.  I will continue to do so, just not to some ass-hat.

(BTW Wizz, this is when I didn't have a paid account. ;))

I heard you were in the military but there has been NO updates since ah3 is in development, except a HQ setting change when the bbs melted for a week. So they have a point.

BBS access requires active subscription in-game.  :devil  Some would issues fade away, but it would create others...

There's no pleasing everyone....

I don't expect them to change the current version of the game...I do think they should still take advice from the current game in order to not have the same problems in the new one. But every thread like that has an alpha tester come in and say "download the alpha" or "stop wasting HTC time"
