I agree. I hope the old setup will be reinstated shortly. Except for the 125 feet below dar alt, I think that is a step in the right direction!

Yes bring back the original MA. 24hrs is enough. All I saw were 262's buzzing around in my ears.

fine keep it around all you like but don't FORCE me to play in it. Or we will have more people quitting.

More than a few have said they will not be participating in it anymore.

As for me, i would like to enjoy my vacation relaxing, playing the real game. Not testing servers for HTC.

We are going for one more day.

We saw two mass discos last night and are concerned about it.  Really do not want players blowing perk points over that.  The discos did not appear to be from the server itself.

Just for some more fun, we enabled the "Claw" for the next half hour.

Just type ".plane 112" without the quotes in the radio and then launch.  Just for the next 30 minutes.

This is absolute rank discrimination against the European player base. We demand the Claw be enabled tomorrow morning otherwise we'll tell the UN the First Lady wears army boots.

Can't ask for more than that. The whole reason for no perks is so no one loses any should there be mass discos. HT and crew are thinking of all of us while testing too.

sigh, I guess I have to actually do my homework, was hoping normal MA would be back so I could have an excuse not to do it.

I'd like to play in AvA, but they still have some silly scenario from Thursday up in its place.

Clearly not everyone shares your point of view....... maybe people play for certain reasons, like achievements (off) rank (off) maybe they like flying in a room that has side balance (eny off). Is it possible people enjoy the room for something other than 262 T2 b29 fest that it is currently? naww just go have fun you say... is it possible they did, and now would like some current version of what they payed for? Personally i didn't pay for offline with people in it. Ya i know 24hrs... well unless its 48... or maybe a day longer if needed... or well... ya..

I'm personally upset because my time to play and work on my achievements as been taken away. I had all week off got my yard work done and now that i have time to play its pointless to log in because its unavailable to earn achievements. kind of sucks to have off and your relaxing game you have looked forward to all week has given you the shaft without warning. But that's just me personally. You can clearly see the chat on 200 in the room to view more about who is happy and who is not.

My hope is that tomorrow is the last of it, i don't pay HTC to be a tester. I can be asked to test things and i may or may not accept. But i certainly do not pay to test stuff for them.

Interesting division in the protests between people desiring balanced gameplay - which is reasonable, and grumpy old bubbas who whine like 5 year-olds when you take their toys away for 48 hours.

Perhaps the test is necessary for HTC's operation. I'm increasingly wishing those people continually resorting to threats when something happens that they dislike would actually jog on so we don't have to read their tantrums.

Think his goal is to get as many dweebs in so he can see if the second-hand/discount servers are gonna dump. Just as well. Soon dweebs is all that’ll be left.

Someone let me know when this latest round of stupidity ends.

Probably time for them to re-up their ISP contract and have old servers.  Its likely cheaper to lease server space than it is to run a dedicated network and upgrade their servers.  Maybe the cost savings will be seen in a monthly fee drop?  I was reading over all the negative steam reviews, a ton of them are related to the game being listed as free to play, but the only server anyone plays on is $15/month.  The $15/month isnt too crazy, but the bait and switch is a big turnoff to people.  Other subscription games on Steam make it clear on the store page, but Aces High tries to pass off that free to play is a valid option, at a huge cost to review score.

I just had an interesting experience, was selecting a new plane in the hangar when the game crashed,  when I returned the reconnect feature had placed me in the plane of choice inside the indestructable hangar with the convergence targets etc.

I was trapped!!   :uhoh

It could be because the game engine decided (after reviewing your hit percentage) that you need to have more gunnery practice or at least your guns adjusted!  :D

The entire planet has declared the success of the experiment and has obviously retired in anticipation of restoration.

It's a server test.


  The disingenuity is probably the worst part. If it's not going to be 24 hours, if it is going to be, "whenever we effing feel like it,"... rant... rant... rant...

They noticed a problem & extended the test. Are you THAT inconvenienced that you have to employ the Visa threat?
