Boredom is a subjective perception :old:
-
I got 10 kills in about an hour or so from 10-11PM. The action is out there! If you fly aggressively, you can get involved in the action a lot more quickly.
10-11PM Eastern Time - thx Louche :rolleyes:

Your 10 pm might be an entirely different thing than my 10 pm... :noid

i see you mostly in GV. The fight might have been in the air. I was not there so I cannot say much.

Wow..complete polar opposite to my thread.
Suppose it's all subjective.
I've been enjoying it.was not on then...3pm for me
Maybe out territory in knit land had been squeeze and a stale mate battle was going on..
Maybe you just where not in the mood...

There was a pretty good group in AVA all in fighters. We had a ball.

Maybe a lot of folks passed out watching the World Series..... no dog in the hunt personally, but still it makes for good copy whoever wins game 7.
It was unusually quiet this morning, I have to think that is just a short term thing due to outside events.

I dont play ah3 as much as I used to play ah2. but that is due to me being diagnosed with being bipolar and taking meds for it. so now I enjoy being in the real world. still keep my subscription and play as much as I can. ah3 is more fun than ah2 on the few hours I log.

What's bipolar?
Is it new?
-
Bipolar=maniac depression. Bipolar 1 and Bipolar 2. I is worst, 2 not so bad, but still bad. I myself am no. 2. On med's and doing fine. It's nothing to laugh about.

Real life is real cool. Stay cool! :aok
I had a friend once that was bipolar. For 6 months he lived close to the north pole and the other 6 months he lived close to the south pole.

I've checked it out. The trees look fake.

Yeah, but the collision detection is perfect. Also, destructible environments, deformable vehicles... There's a lot to like there.
Of course, the microtransactions on top of monthly fees make it extremely expensive.

I think we are suffering from too low numbers syndrome and the learning curve for the new game... we do need new blood... HINT HINT HINT!!!!!!
-
From my experiences, the game dies out at 12am CST. Not really sure when things pick back up. When i can play within the hours of 2pm and 12am I usually can find some type of action.
The slow hours I speak about are going to be hard to rebound from. There is roughly 10 folks logged in between 3 teams, with only a handful of them actually playing the game.
It will take a surge of new blood during this time in the game. A few guys trickling in here and there wont work, they will lose interest with no combat or interaction.

With the increased demand for hardware requirements we were bound to lose a number of pilots. Many people require upgrades and some have decided to simply move on while others it will take time to perform those upgrades.
I don't find the new game boring at all. Of course there is "more of the same" - that was the formula that brought us all into the game to start with so you have to have that base still there. The improved graphics were a welcome change, new maps / different base layouts / attack strategies etc. There is plenty new.
I definitely remember the days when we had 300 - 500 pilots online all playing and it was fantastic. We've fallen from those days and at our peak now I have seen close to 200 online at once. We are slowly growing again and seen some old pilots come back, and some totally new pilots coming to the game. The fact of the matter is this game is more of a simulator / strategy than an arcade style game and it will attract certain people as a result or deter others.
If you do find it "boring" then maybe you could provide some suggestions as to what you think would not make it boring? HiTech has built the foundation with input from a lot of us over the years and I am sure always receptive to new ideas for improvement.
Cheers! :salute

Anyone that spends a lot of time on Face Book has far greater issues that need to be dealt with then just being bored with AH

I don't know... I've shot through leaves with a mere .22 in real life and I know FOR A FACT that not even tank rounds can do that! So the collision detection must not be that good.
And, yea, the 'pay to win' model of real life is a drag. You would think they would have went full f2p with ad-based revenue by now. That and the fact that all the hackers have almost ruined it are turnoffs for sure.

Action to be had though this whole AH3 is only teaser until Hitech engages in some marketing.

sorry guys I'm not really borde, just having a bad ah game or 2 or 3
just tired of getting vulched and picked, I know it's part of the game, 1 guy with magical pilot skills another guys just sits in a hanger letting our bases get attacked and taken without doing anything about it, no alert and no upping to defend, trying to send our cv's to get them sunk. nothing.
but I felt better the next day. :joystick:

:D
I had two friendlies around me with three other bad guys around... :joystick: ... nobody said a word or check 6. I ended up getting shot in the back trying to shoot another guy. I thought "why no check 6?". Then i remembered "nobody was talking" and calmed down. bad sa, hung on too long. good fight. game on. :joystick:

It's fun to switch sides and bomb the hanger queen. See if you get any feedback from either side.

The kill is the only thing these days for the "fighter" types. The group that "likes to fight" is getting smaller and smaller all the time.
We have :
The win the war types, will take/use any short cut to avoid fights to capture bases as quickly as possible
The bomber, wants to hit targets that dont fight back, bails at the first sign of trouble.
Killers, work at nothing but kill counts. Pick and run, vulch, knows nothing about ACMs or throttle control.
Spawn campers, one shot wonders. Will sit for hours waiting for someone to spawn.
There are very few players left that will just plain fight it out. EX: Last night, myself and 2 squadies had C88 close to A82. Launched fighters and the G3 responded with a half dozen P38s as a defence. 2 vs 1, but we have CV ack, looks like it could be a fun fight for a bit. 38s have the alt and are happy to BnZ even through the edges of the puffy ack. We get a couple, they get a couple but we reup and head back in. As they keep us busy they bring in buffs for the CV. Wam-bam thank you mame and the CV is down. We up and return with some AKs in toe and they all disappeared. G3 had 13 players on and could have made a great fight, but nope, once the CV was down they were out. With the AKs help we did push the fight and capture the base, but all there was were a few wirbles defending. What happened to the fight?
That is where the boredom comes in. The only other "fight" was the bish and knights had one of the rooks fields surrounded and would come in at 15k to do nothing but vulch runs or BnZ bag and drag stuff. They dont want to fight, heaven forbid they might get shot down!
I look at it as the same as my golf game. A bunch of crappy shots and putts, but you get this hole where it all goes near to perfect that makes you come back again. 3 hours of playing last night and the CV fight for 20 minutes was that "nearly perfect" run that will make me come back again tonight hoping to find that little bit of fun again.

In response to G3-MF...
We were training for FSO. That is why you would have seen that. If we left THAT particular fight one of two things were happening at that moment...
Either it was time to go to FSO for briefing and coordination, or like we see all to often, we eliminated what we could there before having to go to the other side of the map to defend there. Don't mind fighting a 2 front war. As long as the other 2 countries are doing the same. However, haven't seen that too often. When I am logged on we attack and take bases on one end only to have the other side take bases away. When our squad goes there to take back and advance, we find ourselves having to abandon there to go fight the other side of the map. All the while, witnessing minimal fight between the other 2 countries.
Don't take it as a whine. That is not my intent. Just saying, my squad plays every aspect of this game as intended but we do it as a group. So if suddenly we are no longer there, then we are somewhere else on the map stopping another take.
When we got back from FSO, one of our islands was nearly ransacked. We stopped the take at that port, sunk the enemy CV, took back the V base while continued fight over the enemy airfield. When it was done, within an hour, with heavy defense, we took that island back. And we did it with 6 of my squad and a handful of rowdy vengeful Bish. Was a fun evening.
I hope you (and the rest of the community) knows that G3-MF doesn't avoid fights. We embrace them. And if we have the opportunity to take over your bars and women in the process, we will...

I like the smaller maps, the improved graphics - specially the clouds, and more players online !
What I don't like is the non-wake water (water might have more kills than trees now), and the increased number of pilots wounds.
DX11 still had freezes but after switching to DX9 it works ok for me.
