In my B-17 set heading to knit AAA. Come and get me!

I'm pulling the plug after this month. Shades and Changeup. Had fun fellas. <S>

I don't know.....

I was spreadsheedin' while listening to Electric Wizard (http://fun.resplace.net/Emoticons/Dead/RockingDeath.gif)
For the record, last night was an exceptionally slow one in the MA, even for current standards :old:

I just logged off - 21 players online.
Did manage to have an hour of fun though.

Guess the game doesn't have much of a presence in the far East or ANZAC any more. Not that those places ever had a huge one.

A considerable number (maybe even majority?) of the off hours / 'US late night' population had been actually Americans and Europeans (like myself, I used to start my AH day at late morning / early noon, 11AM here is 4AM in Dallas).

i tried to play a few times this week, but it was too boring. first flight i made, a 190 tried a one pass ho merge and then he nosed in to run and just kept on going. didnt feel like chasing people around the whole time, so i logged.

Played from 8pm till around 11pm CDT....there was plenty of people on to shoot...

Keep singing your song.. the majority have or will be moving on.
Sure hope AH3 goes live soon.

OK so there wasn't anyone to shoot at...there was just swarms of rooks and nits attacking us at A11 for the entire time I was on...I was there I saw it...I saw rudeboi there too...and there was a fairly good size ground battle going on
The numbers were mid to upper 40s for each side the entire time I was on...
Just because you can't find the fight you want doesn't mean there was no one on playing...
Hell I had 5 squaddies on...the 162 PHs had more than that...the 56th had 4 or 5 guys on....i look at the roster and see who is on quite often....don't think that you can convolute the numbers of people that were actually playing during that timeframe with your bias
Also don't think that all those playing are on the boards defending themselves from people that say the game isn't fun anymore with low numbers
-

The game is still fun, but apparently not fun enough for enough people to keep it from being a charity case at this point.
I am very skeptical that graphics are the reason so many have left.

Everyone burns out eventually with a game.......you are addicted to start.......after a while it becomes just more of the same all the time......then you spend less and less time in the game.....and then you are gone onto something different.....
The younger generations are not interested in this type of game anymore.......they would rather chase pokemon around outside on their smart phones......so once the old timers eventually burn out....there is no one left.......:old:

yep it was really fun. 1oldcoot was there and I had some good fights. Gp5 and a few other sticks were there also. It wasn't bad at all until buffs took down our hangars and we got horded. Other than that it was a good 1 hour of fights.
-
I find it hard to believe that with the hundreds of millions of people with computers and internet connections that there aren't a few hundred who would go for an AH lost weekend of game play for a few years. I assume that those people just don't know about it.
-
There was a time when the leet sticks controlled the airspace but they helped you get better and that activity made you want to get better. On vox and on squad BBS Grizz, Kappa, Fester, Batfink and sooo many others would talk about actually slowing down purposely to reverse the very sweetheartrrrs that now claim to fly their aircraft in a manner befitting it's RL design. Those guys are gone and what is left seems to be the I'll-play-my-way-no-matter-how-boring-I-make-this-game.
Good yob. Ya did it. Some of you fellas helped make it so boring, YOU are actually the excitement now. But you'll never be able to do what the killer sticks did. Ever.
-
Changeup, I agree however with something to add. It's never been about the graphics. The community IS the game, without it there is nothing. However they seem to be the vocal minority who get's their concerns heard there.
-
Why would they have to 'defend' themselves? :headscratch:
I should have said defend the playability of the game with low numbers
Someone's a little sensitive lol
Far from it...
I want countless newbs to shoot at just like lazer and junky...there are none anymore...I'm a fighter pilot too...I have been for going on 12 years now...I don't like the fact the game is dying just like the rest of you...
I want people to want to play... Not come here and drive more of them away with countless posts of drivel compelling them to leave by appealing to their own problems with the game...I said it in another post that it just takes a small push to finally get them over the edge and they quit too

9PM to 11PM is primetime....you can't use that as part of your argument against the "there are no fights" party. Try putting yourself in a euro players shoes, I've actually had the experience of playing in the opposite timezone...so when I say the fights are lacking at times, my word should carry more weight then yours.
I do think Aces High has fights most of the time...but 4 things in my mind are what cause fights to stale or force one country to not have a fight at all.
1. Side switch time should be an hour
2. Certain large maps should be removed (FesterMA, ect ect) not ozkansas though that one has the best lay out to spawn fights IMO...also has a tank town
3. M3 resupply is more of a go to defense then upping anything else.(cut effectiveness in half)
4. Man guns should only be enabled if VH is dead (they also shouldn't be able to be killed until VH is dead)
I got more hours in game then most these days and I spend a lot of time in custom arenas just messing around with arena settings. So when you say my posts are drivel...you are saying my 10 years and thousands of hours playing from all different timezones mean nothing....new gamer comes in here and sees that they might just not even try it out...don't you get on some high horse, you let Sawzaw rage PM people...think that keeps people playing???
OH and plenty of noobs around....they just shade under names like StarFox, Lonewolf, Ect ect ect :aok

tonight CET it was about 150 players, small map, and lots of action

Not sure but he does fly like Skyyr. He said his names was tang0, arwing and sortie before. Can anyone remember thos names??

Planes with more than 10 kills for StarFox - Tour 198:
F4U-1A, F4U-4, Fw 190D-9, La-5FN, La-7, Me 262, N1K2, P-51D, Spitfire Mk IX, Spitfire Mk VIII, Ta 152H. The majority of kills are in the Fw 190D-9, La-7, & Ta 152H.
Planes with more than 10 kills for Skyyr - Tour 188:
C.205, F4U-4, Fw 190D-9, La-7, Me 262, Spitfire Mk XVI, Ta 152H. The majority of the kills are in the Fw 190D-9, La-7, & Ta 152H.
If you look at Skyyr's plane choices throughout the Tours in the upper 180's there are a lot of similarities with StarFox.
-
Here's the deal:
You guys are guessing, nothing more. Your guessing is not helping anything, even if you are right it is still just guessing. Starfox is behaving himself and is a part of the game. It is not up to us to police the roster and call out anyone for anything. Should he be a past player that has returned for what ever reason, I'm quite confident that HiTech will handle this appropriately.
Let's not drive away another player just because we like to "guess" and "think" that it is someone from the past with a name change. None of you will apologize if you are found to be completely off base, and even if you did, his reputation and possibly his personal entertainment likely has been destroyed.
Nothing good can come from this. You wanna talk crap like this, keep it private. Not here, not on 200, not on country channel.

I don't think anyone is talking trash or bashing StarFox. Just comparing the similarities between the two callsigns. No one has called him any derogatory name or anything other than compare his flying style and plane choice.

Zoney,
HTC dislikes a "Banned" customer from sneaking back into the game. Just like with Bluberry when they discovered he had been previously banned for life a few years earlier. Bringing this conversation into the forums is going to get this post locked if you guys keep comparing notes. I'm sure this has been enough to make Skuzzy take notice.
Have any of you noticed that sometimes StarFox fly's with tracers on and is not as good a shot as when StarFox fly's with them off and never misses his HO's? I keep thinking I'm watching two different people emulating skyyr's style from the Damnd squad days. One looks like Kruel's style which was very close to skyyr's but, not as consistent a shot.
We could all be getting trolled by one of the Damnd who changed their squad to "Outcasts". They all followed the skyyr school of HOing and hammer heads. Worst case one of them created an extra account and is letting him fly anonymously.

It's summer time in the northern hemisphere, get outside. You all need some fresh air.

As I said and predicted this day will come. The path has been chosen for all and the outcome is the result. The very moment that this game favored the score player over the team player the result has been proven. When you do not reward players for destroying ammo bunkers and radar and hangers this outcome was a long time coming. When you do not reward players for killing ack guns and make hitting a town center more points than hitting a countries city the outcome was a long time coming. When you allow and favor multi account players that use their alt as a spy the outcome was a long time coming. When every mission is compromised for score packing the outcome was a long time coming. When this game catered to the out spoken few and ignored the silent majority the outcome was a long time coming. No surprise and no sympathy from me. If you want to turn this game back to the glory days, the first step is playing as a proud member of the country you represent and doing what ever you can to help your fellow team mate.

49Zero, when did you start to play Aces High?
-
zero you ever think a lot of people quit the game when you guys started killing hq for no reason whatsoever? you guys made it a point to kill it even when the majority of the people on the bb were against it. and dont talk about country loyalty. you guys just switched and made eny on knights so high that pigs switched to balance things out.
you guys have no idea what the game is all about.

Well, I don't really capture bases, so I guess I'm going to have to take your word for it as to why you're upset with the game, but I can tell you that none of the stuff you just mentioned are any of the reasons most of my friends aren't around any more.

Been playing since 2003 and expected to take the criticism and attacks form the ones that post 1000s on the forums. I am one of the silent majority that also pays his 15 a month but does not use that to justify how I play.

Every time a fight got going a suicide bomber would kill a CV, or a horde of M3s would roll over the town.

Same here, but I was in the same horde as you. Normal saturday night was 400 plus with a number of fights going on, now we don't hit 200 and are lucky if there is a single fight. Earlier in the day both bish and rooks had an ENY of 20.4, this was at 5PM eastern.

All this talk of Skyrrfox reminds of one of Grizz's returns. Grizz had been back for about 2 weeks when Skyrr said he'd "only been playing for a little while". Grizz and Sunbat flew straight over to where Skyrr, Sawzaw and 2Cmex were flying...Never above 5K. Reversed Skyyr 5 times in a row in a K4 vs his D9 and the same fate for Sawzaw and 2Cmex.
And Grizz had only been back for about 2 weeks...Sawzaw and cmex were flying around their best in my opinion! Its so funny when you see the difference between who the players think are good and which players really were good. No comparison. None.
But now we will never know so I guess there's no use in discussing the old days because they aren't ever coming back.
-
I wonder if any of the old guys will come back and at least try out AH3.

You're wrong....2cmex(even though I dislike the shots he takes and his answers after you give him a "good fight" on 200) has VERY comparable AIM to Grizz....which was Grizz's most lethal attribute. Sawzaw ain't no pushover either in the K4.....he's at least comparable to Agent, maybe even Sunsfan. Krup and I were talking about skyyr the other day....fighting against his flying style definitely made us better at the game...you can't deny the guy was good.
Next month we should have a US primetime KOTH....hopefully all the old war horses can come out of retirement so I can watch them take on the new l33t sticks. Bet the fights will be intense.

i just returned from a 2-3 month break. Dispatched Saw fairly easily (even with my sloppy fighting and lack of throttle work) only person who seemed to have any edge was chooka. Eh, give me 1-2 weeks and I'll be sharp again.
I'll see you all in Koth

I'm sure but most would consider you to be one of the top 10 sticks 1v1 in the game...for Changeup to suggest they aren't good by today or yesterday's standards is just ridiculous.

Because it's not.
Nor is it "close to"
Nor is it "about to be"
Nor is it "likely to be"
I love this game. there are plenty of people just exactly like me that love it too. Us alone will keep this game alive for a great long time. The difference is we are the silent majority. We maybe don't find it necessary to come in here and say we love it 3 times a day, unlike the Trolls that will "doom and gloom" this 3 times a day.
Is it perfect? Nope, never was.
Do I get to do exactly what I want to do every second that I'm logged in? Nope, never did.
Am I happy here? Yep, never been happier, never............read that again, I've never been happier.

zoney is right. I am having just as much fun today as when i joined years ago. this is more than just a game. I have friends that i met almost 20 years ago on aw and switched to this game. it's more than a game, it's a life long friendship that I dont see ending anytime soon.
