Title: How long will the latest experiments continue?
Post by: molybdenum on November 19, 2017, 08:48:40 PM
I'm referring to the barriers surrounding VHs and the quadrant GV detector things. I haven't found a single in-game player who likes either one, and most loathe them both. Kudos to HT for trying to improve the game, but these simply piss almost everybody off. As someone else said in another topic before, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." Please fix the "fix" and get rid of them asap. Thank you.

That's the problem I find in every poll I read or hear of: Not a single time has someone asked for my personal opinion. In this case the pissed-off  "everybody" falls in the same category with the "everybody" who has something that a teenager wants his/her parents to buy.

All that said, your personal opinion is as valuable as anyone else's.  :salute

I think the walls around the VH is a vast improvement to the game.

The effects on the ENY  will be beneficial to everyone.


Will the wall feature be extended to the 🌲

I don't GV so I could care less personally.  But I hope the players who do GV get an outcome they like.

Although the VH walls require some maneuvering to get out, they do prevent someone from parking and tagging GVs when spawning up inside the hangar.

I've personally experienced this - quite frustrating! I thought it was a bug at first but after my second death, I looked around and sure enough, after looking around from the tower, someone was parked just outside the VH in their Panther - popping bottles at the pop shop. I hopped in a 88 and ended that quickly...but seriously. It was quite the 'gaming' move to camp at a VH and kill tanks.  They weren't even trying to capture the field.

I appreciate any effort to stop people from using tactics that run the fun of playing Aces High.

The wall is there to stop people camping the VH and stopping game play :old:

+1,000,000 on removing the quadrant dar, it really takes the whole hunt aspect out of gving.

Two weeks!




Man, even long standing traditions are beginning to decay under all this animosity.

I like them. Previous GV vs GV hide and seek was frustrating IMHO. Even if those features are temporary I am grateful for that short period. Maybe have vehicle quadrant as an option in custom arena setup? If someone held a custom GV vs GV only battle event from time to time with quadrants enabled I would gladly take part in the action if my timetable allows etc.

Maybe I'm missing something, but can't you still camp the VH by driving through the maze and setting up right behind the hangar? And once you're there the wall protects you from field ack. Makes it harder to camp from 400 out, I guess, unless there's a tall enough hill behind the hangar.

At least you didn't ask,  what animosity.

There is. The campers have already figured this out.

At least Dale kept his campaign promise to put up that wall......

Seriously though I was able to get a tiger II out of the VH with no issues.

I played with it a bit the last few days. As an attacker, I like it a lot. It's taking much more time for the defenders to wiggle themselves out of their confinement and get a clear shot on the maproom. Good for sneaks & quick grabs. And for bombing the spawn hangar.

I like the gv dar but not a big fan of the wall... With the right spawn camper the wall is ineffective.. If you get in the sweet spot you can still tag gvers coming out of the vh no matter what side they choose to exit and the wall makes getting out in a wirb challenging

To be honest ... I like the GV wall ... it makes finding the VH hangers easier when bombing... hehehehe
