Title: CUSTOMER SUPPORT
Post by: pops04 on June 28, 2024, 08:13:09 AM
Why is it that when short comings are brought up 9 out of 10 times nothing is done? I have a history of bringing to attention to things such as infractions and things missing in other arenas and it appears that nothing is being done. My last post had over 100 views and not one reply. I am really getting annoyed with this game. Yet they will let hacks such as Skyyr with his numerous accounts back into this game and nothing goes noticed also if you make a report of an INDIVIDUAL violating the rules nothing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING IS SAID OR DONE. Enough Said
POPS :mad: :bhead :bhead

Hitech doesnt check the boards as much as he use to. When they did the server update a bunch of players had issues and it took a phone call to Hitech before he noticed it and fixed it.
Skyyr is not a hack, he is just very good. As for multiple accounts, HTC has never had in issue with that unless it was used to spy. Its easy to see Skyyr is not spying as he streams his flights strait through.
I would think Hitech checks the reports, but how often, who knows. As for things getting done about them, you'll never know about that as he handles it with out publishing anything about them. He has brought some of the logs to the boards when players are causing too much of an issue and he wants it dropped..... those are funny.
Bottom line, send Hitech an email, or call him with your issues.

A lot of similar post like this, then make a ph call and get a response.
HT could spend more time answering redundant post and whines on bbs instead of getting other things done. Even in AH peak the whines were endless and time consuming.
HT is doing more than some realize because he doesn’t make every post about it.
One rately updates to a faster server connection for no apparent reason.
I’ve been in HTs shoes with personal life issues. These require proper attention to get it right. When this stuff happened HT was working with Vulcan for the game. As a programmer it can take time to get back into it. Health and family supersedes all things. Give time, time to work and hope for the best. He’s mire active now than a yr ago.
AH has less bugs game wide than the other sim has in one plane which cannot be fixed.
This game is solid compared to most.

"Not spying", Except he has 3 accounts and switches to any team at any time to greif players while they are mid sortie. Thus being able to see activity on all sides instantly at any time. That's basically spying. It's one thing to switch once in a while but gaming all 3 sides in rocket planes within 10 minutes is not what a MMO game is designed to be. Then playing almost every hour of the day is really wearing people out.
"Very good". Yeah, and yet he still has to abuse the multi account policy so he can game the advantage over players mid sortie at any time of the day gaming the kill messages, Fly super BnZ planes with his squadies - snooze. I love how he gives up all his SA to kill me so he can get picked.. is that supposed to be good, or is that just griefing, Fugitive? I certainly have never seen another player act this way. You don't think these actions, 3 accounts in the top 5 fighters is having an impact of gameplay? The #s suggest otherwise.

A few points:
1) All of our members have multiple accounts. We went to multiple accounts because the fights would die and we would switch sides, which resulted in us commonly being on different sides due to the side-switch timer. Players, including you yourself, accused us of cheating for not being on the same side. We went to multiple accounts to fix this and to find more fights. Now you accuse us of cheating because we have multiple accounts to all fly on the same side when fights die down. Make up your damn mind.
1.1) Going to a 1 hour side-switch timer would fix this issue almost entirely.
2) NOT ONCE have we ever logged in to multiple personal accounts to different countries at the same time. Please screenshot and report us to HTC if you ever see evidence of this.
3) I couldn't care less about the ground war or spying. I fly purely for dogfighting. When a fight dies, I go to the next fight. If it moved to a different front/team, that's where I go.
4) You seem to forget that between landing, switching accounts, upping, and climbing out, 10+ minutes pass. Ergo, there's literally no advantage to switching fronts that any player would have over a player who was already at that front. Arguably, anyone doing so is disadvantaged from an airspeed and altitude aspect.
5) I stream almost all of my sorties now and commonly have 10-20 viewers at any given time. Most are from here and every single one can vouch there's no foul play. One of the reasons I started streaming was for recorded proof of the sorties, so that when whines occur, it's actually shown what happened.
In short, you actually have a problem with players being able to switch fronts, not spying or tracking. Your argument is therefore incoherent, because it's not based around an advantage; your argument revolves around "I should be able to go where players in this squad CAN'T go." Effectively, you're complaining about not being able to avoid combat (instead of us having an unfair advantage), which is ironic given your posting history.
Also, purposely committing to an opponent isn't "giving up" SA, it's making a calculated trade-off. Every single decision in this game is about tradeoffs. When Judge or I fly a Mossie vs a D9, it's a trade-off. When we decide to run 100% fuel, it's a tradeoff. Make better decisions and you won't die so much.

I've typed out three replies, and can't settle on how I want to say what I want to say. Some of you could be handed $1M cash and would complain that you got all $100 bills and no 20's.
You guys focus so much energy on one player it's almost sickening. Like an obsession. FT/CHEATER is able to do more with his two accounts than any one player using multiple accounts on one PC, yet you don't see anyone crying about his use of multiple accounts.
I have been actively flying with Skyyr since his return, and it's comical how much you guys just make up.

I think he has a crush on me lately :aok
I get a sortie or two until the rest of my hour is looking over my shoulder for a pick or hoing 152, la7 or k4
As he is one of the best pilots I appreciate the challenge..but please don't say he isn't hunting specific players

Unfortunately, many people mistake shooting everyone down as "hunting" them; because killing everyone includes killing them too.
Example below. The point I started at includes a failed ganging of which a player claims they were targeted. Feel free to watch the entire video for multiple examples of said player whining about "gaminess" while they fail at a 2v1.
AH has less bugs game wide than the other sim has in one plane which cannot be fixed.
See this Lazer. Really it's just one guy trying to start a fight. This thread has nothing to do with other games but he tries to make it about one. He thinks he is fighting the good fight while the rest look on and laugh. You unjustly lump us all together. Makes me question your judgement.

I fly to fight, win or lose. I care almost nothing sbout points or landing as much as many.
We all fly for our own reasons.
I simply don’t get enough free time to get great. I’m either having fun or I’m not.
If my stick didn’t suck I’d triple my kills. <shrug>
I only killed one and maybe wounded a cpl in MotA, but damn it was fun.

Nope, you’re just full of crap. Every former player says what you do, current players do not. Again personal attacks over facts. Deflection. You ARE part of the problem thats clear to everyone. You guys drag it out. You talk out of both sides of your mouth. Yet never touch the point made..
Btw, the points I made are directly from dcs players, who aten’t playing salesmen, like you did in 127 pages.

"3) I couldn't care less about the ground war or spying. I fly purely for dogfighting. When a fight dies, I go to the next fight. If it moved to a different front/team, that's where I go."
Seeing where everyone on the map is spying. Regardless if it's intentional. Being able to game this with multiple accounts to switch at any time is not the concept of a MMO game and thus decreases the strategy aspect to the game. If the fight dies. That's probably because of you, and then you chase them to the next fight on the other team and eventually they leave because they are tired of the BnZ crap and dealing with you every time they log in at any base they go.

That's actually false and you know it. You know I'm defending a field because you switched from my team to the enemy while I'm in mid sortie. I'm In a 109G14 over my field and here you come with 2 152s at 12+k to gang me. You are implying that I should watch you switch teams every time I get a kill, Climb to 15k as I know you are coming (I generally do and have multiple examples) and attempt to counter in a less capable plane. I'm not going to play that bullcrap any more. That is effectively gaming my position, plane, and advantage and thus is not how a MMO strategy simulation should be conducted.
You know what you are doing and it's not healthy for gameplay at all. If you cared about the game, you'd stop with your crap, but you can't help yourself and that's why we are down to 33 average day time and 100 maybe left in primetime on a Saturday. If you can't see that you and your squad are a major factor in this, than I guess you enjoy watching the game die with you.
Many of us aren't going to put up with it and will just take our money elsewhere.

This^^^
I give Skyrr crap, because I give all my friends crap, it's all in jest. Some of my humor is simply mocking what a ahole would say. Skyrr is good, but that doesn't minimize the fact that so are other players. The fact he doesn't seem to have to deal with nose bounce is a big deal. His stick is very smooth. That alone can make or break someone.
I've never seen one single accusation proven. In fact, I haven't seen one single accusation proven on anyone....YET. It just seems to be a go-to comment. I see skyrr killed very often, I also see him take multi-kills often.
It's all the way ya squint your eyes.

Playing devil's advocate here, what would you do in the same situation if it was 1.) any other game or 2.) any other player?
Also, it's easy to see who is where just by using the kill feed and the roster. If I see "Violator killed TheStig" in the kill feed, I know you're fighting the rooks. It's pretty obvious where you're flying just by looking at the map because there's usually only one or two fights on the whole thing. Crying about being in a "less capable plane" or at a disadvantage in numbers or altitude is just something I thought you were above. That's something that's ALWAYS going to happen, regardless of who is playing the game.

When we've kept to our own threads and tried to avoid contact with Animl, he stalks us to our threads and harasses, insults and post DOS music video spams to intentionally disrupt the discussions he doesn't like the topic of yet are in no forum violation.
He seeks out the confrontations. If you try and avoid him, he stalks you. If he gets some back, sauce for the goose.
Besides, you said you had us on ignore so none of this should bother you, right? OR can you not stand it and have to peek? Like a moth to the flame and then complains about the flame. lol
In fact, not to long ago I got a PM from someone thanking me for standing up to Animl and not backing down and bringing interesting info to the forum about what is going on else where in the industry and to ignore him. He said many, many people hate his guts and have since AW. I guess he made lots of enemies acting like monster on something called Big Week. And there was some former AW CM group or something he was recently kicked out of. I see the pattern. He is an internet bully and loud-mouth, and apparently he has always been this way across different sims. At least that is what I was told.

Nope. I'll not be griefed and chased around the map by some super E plane no lifer and his friends every time I get a kill. I dont understand how you arent seeing this. Your understanding about kill messages, dot dar, and fights are exactly why the gameplay is dying and you just can't see it. We don't need a player whose logged in just about every hour of the day exploiting this with multiple accounts against less capable players. Sure let's all grab E planes and bore everyone to sleep and BnZ everyone for hours. So much fun. So much skillz :rolleyes:
Funny you mention Stig because he left pretty much for this very reason too.

False. I only have 15 sorties in 4.5 hours. In 12 of my sorties, you werent logged in. You've engaged me 3 times this tour all with alt and E in a 152 while I'm defending a base. You gamed my 27 KD in a G14 by switching from my team to enemy we were just fighting to gang me in 152s with 5 kills. You jumped me a few days ago defending my field in my G14 but got picked by 10 guys after giving up all your speed and E trying to kill me, and I still got 2 kills on your squadies, even tho one was a proxy. Then you jumped me defending a large hoard in my Tempest, tho you weren't logged in when I rolled, but your squadie was on my team and as soon as I got a kill, here you come from the opposite team. It would have been your only "natural" i guess kill but your squadie on my team that you passed up that I was trting to help takes that away... You are the liar and Eagler and everyone else knows you are full of it.
We haven't fought toejam. You gamed every advantage with me in the defense. I'm not wasting my money for this crap because it destroys the entire concept of MMO strategy for me and I'm not gonna look over my shoulder every time I get a kill and watch you try to game me. Not worth the few hours I get to play. I know many others probably feel the same way.

I've killed many other players just as much as you, if not more. You haven't seen much of the kill buffer if you think 3 engagements or so a night is a lot. I killed Kermit and crew about 20 times over the course of an hour last night, the entire time it was 1v3 and 1v4 solo. Hell, I fight and kill LatinLuv more than almost anyone and there's no animosity or hunting, he just likes dogfighting.
The only reason I bother to engage you is that you'll (usually) fight; most players just hit the deck and run (as was the case of most of the guys I was fighting last night, except for BSB).
I kill many players a lot, not just you. Overall, the players I have the most kills on are Watchman and Lagger (about 40-50 kills each), from fighting the TA squad so much. And Latinluv, because he's always looking for 1v1s in the MA.
Here's just my kills from flying a Ta 152. I have almost 30 on LatinLuv in that plane alone. You're nowhere near the top.
I saw what you put originally...and I chuckled lol
I like to snark, but sometimes it's just not my circus, not my monkey. :rofl
I enjoy Skyr's vids and streams. I've learned a lot. Some I can learn, some is just un-Godly good aim. I could see why some would accuse him of cheating, but you can tell from the vid he is not. But it is unnerving. Even from the safety of my office I'm watching him line up some shot and I'm thinking, "No way. No squealing way he can make that." And parts fly. "Damn." It's like watching those vids where some HS kid hurls a basketball from the back end of the court with 2 sec left and hits nothing but net. I'm sure that is frustrating to be on the receiving end, but that doesn't make it cheating. Whatever else, I see no evidence of hacks and he wouldn't be live streaming them if he was. IF he is truly cheating according to HTC definition send in the evidence and by all means burn him alive.
Is he stalking you? I dunno. Back the AH prime there use to be players we'd stalk. Rivalries. There was a guy....hmmm accessing ancient cold-storage memory banks... Torque? We use to try and hunt that guy and it would take 3 of us. ;)
Still with the numbers, spread across 3 countries, and given that some are just in tower on the lonely grandpa chat room, and others are sitting in GV picking their noses, it's not inconceivable that active pilots operating on the front might run into each other more often than in the past.
Apparently he's F'upped in the past. If you have evidence of cheating now, present it and burn him at the stake. But just shooting people down is not cheating.
Don't like his plane choice? Tough. I've watched his videos when he looks behind and there is a conga line of 5-6 enemy chasing him. Of course he has to have a fast plane to avoid getting instantly surrounded by all those sea gulls screaming, "Mine! Mine! Mine!Mine! Mine! Mine!" He has to stay fast to control the engagement and corral them and cut one from the herd at the right moment and put his brand on. Anything slower and he would be surrounded instantly and gang-raped bow-legged.
A lot here think they should have to authority to dictate what planes people are allowed to fly and what tactics they are allowed to use. No one has that authority but HTC. Don't like it? Invite him to the DA. He seems willing to fly just about anything there when it's limited to 1v1. Pick your favorite and offer him the challenge. IN the MA, anything goes.
I think the real problem is simpler.
Does anyone think that if Skyr lost 50% or more of his fights in the MA that there still be any problem?

Go ahead and show the film of us on Mindnao the other day. You were on my team, switched to the enemy team you were just fighting and came and ganged me with 2 152s over the field we were defending while I had 5 kills.

"Ganged" you? Or you dove for the deck and in doing so, ran into 3 other guys because you blew all your E on the reversal?
Also, I used my 6 hour switch for that fight, which makes that complaint ironic.

You switched for the sole intention of engaging me, with 2 152s in order to throw me off in a coordinated attack while I had a inferior plane. Do you think a G14 can out run a Ta152? Do you think a 109g14 at 250knots can emmilman with 2 152s going 400 both trying to engage you? Like wtf do you expect me to do?

You seriously believe I coordinated flying the same planes as someone else to "throw [you] off"? :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl
That's some real paranoia. I fly what I want whenever I want, I don't care what others fly lol.
We were co-E and co-alt, by the way, until you decided to turn back and try an aggressive reversal amongst a LOT of friendlies. Once again, you picked the plane and you chose your maneuvers. When you choose to fly a G-14 (which is a K4 in drag, let's not be disingenuous) and then you blow all your E, that's your own choice - you don't get to blame others for that. And when you dive into a sea of friendly aircraft to cover for your mistake, that's fine too, but don't come here and post about how unfair it was when you got ran down and ganged because you ran yourself down to the deck.

Let's see a video then. Here you see there are 2 152s all over me, along with the rest of them as I'm the only one defending my field in the air. Coordinated or not, thats what it looks like in the moment. Could have used some help, but you decided to switch to help gang me over my base. Really too the bad the ack no longer works... :rofl "muh fight"

Just because there were 2 152's doesn't mean I coordinated with them to confuse you. I'm in a Ta 152 90% of the time. Your paranoia got the better of you and caused your death.
Notice also it happened EXACTLY as I said: you ran from a 1v1. At :30, there was no one around except me (and there wasn't anyone around until you ran almost half a grid to get away from me). You ran, dove, then got surrounded by cons who were initially lower than you.

You see that guy's. I get jumped over my own field with ack that doesn't work by 6 planes, and some how I'm the one "running" from a 1v1 and need to make "better decisions" as he switched from my team to theirs during the very same sortie. There is no way I could have chosen a better plane to counter his advantage of choice and position reference setting up an attack on me. trying to up his kill count on me by any means.
Screw that. You all can have fun with this BS destroying the game :salute

Yeah, because you ran to your base. You cut out the part where you were tailed for almost 3 minutes prior.
Why don't you post the entire film and AHF? Oh wait, that'd only prove my point further. :rofl

I saw YOUR film and you ran from the 190s at 10k and dove into the hornets nest at 2K. Like he said, stop running and fight you might not get as frustrated.
I like a good fight against Skyyr. In the old days he relied on HOs way too much, but now he is much better skilled. It is very rare that I win vs him. I love finding him on my team when I log on :) But does he "hunt" me? I dont think Im that good to be worthy of him looking for me. Those of you that do get his attention should look at it as a compliment.

Entirely false. Didn't run from crap. I Turned in and he flew right past me so he could set up a pick as I was trying to go for the other guy. You you can't run from a plane already faster than you and the other 152 was coming in as well so I had to attempt to take one down. Again, after he set up his own gaming advantage agajnst me in the middle of my sortie :rofl. Where am I going to go against 2 152s that can easily catch me. Among the rest of the red there?

I only started filming once I saw the 190 and then checked the roster to see that you had switched because I knew it was you. That was the entire film.

So you just admitted we were waiting alone when I showed up because the "hoard hadnt come in" (to quote you). lol. That's a really disingenuous way of saying "yeah it was a 1v1 until I ran into the others."

It wasn't 1v1 at all. You and TA came in practically together, you were just ahead out front and went after weasel then broke off to fly towards me. I thought you were going after him. Look at the map. You also had the E and speed advantage clearly. You didn't even engage when I turned around. You are making lunacy excuses for your targeting and greifing and poor gameplay in an old man's MMO that you have to play for 8 hours a day and game everyones postion.

Thought I was gonna get a sortie in without skyyr logged in and bothering me today, but he logs while I'm mid sortie and decides to try to engange me of course. Passed up 6 enemies. Claims we were Co-e when infact he was 100 knots faster then me. He claims I was running when there was nothing else I could actually do. He'd rather waste all his E and SA trying to kill me than play the game in a logical way. This is what I have to deal with in the 20 minutes I get to play when we are both logged in at the same time.

Unfortunately for Violator, I had film. He claims 40mph is a "massive advantage."

Notice he shows a picture at 6k away. If you watch my film, I had just finished a fight where as skyyr was coming into the situation gaining E, when we crossed, he was going 100 mph faster. Skyyr created every advantage in the book and wanted to say this was a "1v1". If he had better SA and understood the situation. He would have known it was not a 1v1. He chose to pass up multiple targets to engage me and paid a price for it. Again, another failed targeting attempt.

The film shows you even higher at 500mph prior to this. lol
And there was no lack of SA; I engaged you and followed only you as you dove through numerous friendlies. I purposely filmed externally and via AHF for proof that you run and dive away from anything resembling an even fight. You did not disappoint and I achieved exactly what I had hoped.
You did exactly what you did the previous two fights, so now everyone can see this isn't Violator getting blindsided; this is precisely what you do every single engagement: run and dive for the deck.

A. It wasn't even. Not even close simply based on the merge speed. You were even able to rope the f6f and yak3, and totally avoided them to come continue to engage me.
B. I never ran. How does one run from a super E plane that's faster than theirs LOL. There was no other choice. Anyone with common sense can watch the video and see that following you into your ropes wouldn't have been smart. Running, is what you did when I chased you for 10 miles in your la7 vs spitit16 and then turned around when your 109 friendly engaged. Running implies the other has a faster plane and extend away and escape. There was no chance of that here.
C. You are just making up crap to try to pretend you are all good, but you are nothing without an advantage and gaming an advantage in your E planes by rolling against me during my sorties and only engaging me. When you give up all your SA, speed, and alt advantage to go after me and then get ganged and say I'm running to friendlies, that's you failing to understand the situation and gameplay. I'm not going to play into your E mode crap.

Unfortunately, I don’t think changing DAR will change that. We’re at a point where there are no new players, and the existing ones don’t want to get any better. No offense (especially to you Mak), but AH has become a retirement home social club. I think most play to pass the time. There’s hardly any competition anymore because the players that seek the path of less resistance have taken over. I’ve seen it far too many times since my return. A large DAR bar attacks a base and as soon as defenders up, they attack a different field on a different front.

You said he had no skill and could only beat you with a significant advantage or when not in his fast plane with you in a slow plane and his buddies jumping in to help.
That is a testable assertion.
DA: same plane, same fuel, same weight, same ammo, no allies jumping in. Best 3 out of 5. Let DemonSlr pick HIS favorite plane for 3 of the fights, let Skyrr pick two of the planes.
Seems to me that would isolate other variables, leaving only skill. With 3 out of 5 tries, that should cover an occasional lucky shot.
Seems like that would be a fair test of your assertion if he would accept. Am I missing something?
He might be a ahole, I dunno. But that is a different question opposed to does he have skill.

No, this is about targeting and greifing players in the MA over and again every sortie they fly no matter where they are when he is logged in and switiching between 3 acconts to game peoples position. It's not about 1v1 skill. No other player in AH history has ever resorted to this level of lousyness flying 200 hours a month...I'm just going to call it out for what it is.

I agree and.... Tough for new guys and has beens to hop back in. I've seen it first hand and while trying to get new folks involved. The current player set has refined and honed their skills over many years with the same bunch of hardened, grizzled dudes. The chaff has been threshed out over the years via attrition, boredom or whatever leaving basically the good players, the really good players and the few elite players. New guys are seals that get clubbed relentlessly until they quit. It's no fault of the current strata of players left, they're just doing what's done when you reach a certain level. Unfortunately that level has nothing underneath to support it. Layers of mediocrity, ineptness and beginners are needed to replenish the game. The few that show up aren't enough to feed everyone. AH had such a population back in the day but no longer. You (all of you) may not see the eliteness in your day-to-day trials and tribulations during your 17th year at AH but you're a shark swimming in a sea of sharks. It's pretty daunting for a newbie to get their feet wet in these waters.

In reality, the majority of the playerbase left is far from elite. The majority of the players left are actually less than average pilots.

We did DA. We went 1-1 out of 2 duels.

Violator tried to claim his loss didn't count and said he was drunk, as usual. Of course he claims I'm lying when I say I was also drunk (odd right?).
In fact, a 3rd duel would be perfect as it would make the winner decisive (2-1). I fully support and would accept another DA challenge.

I can't speak to the stalking. I'm not sure what the HTC rules are on that, but they are unenforceable.
He doesn't have to spy or cheat to stalk you. When it announced "Violator killed PlayerX" if on his team he simply asks where he was when Violator killed him and what was he flying. People have done that sort of thing since AW. No hack required. What would HTC even do about that if it cared, which I don't see why it would.
You are just making up crap to try to pretend you are all good, but you are nothing without an advantage and gaming an advantage in your E planes
And I've seen you claim elsewhere (not worth tracking down every quote) that he can only beat you when diving in from above with a faster plane and his buddies to help while you were busy in another fight.
If you are claiming he has no skills without a faster plane, alt advantage, and buddies ganging on you, all those variables can be isolated so you have a perfectly level combat state. You statement seems to imply, without the advantages, you should be able to defeat him readily. We have a MPA or can setup a custom arena. Fair, level conditions can be set so he has none of those advantages over you. That should work, right?
I get you are claiming he he is an ahole. Maybe. Worlds full of them. AH has it's share. He wouldn't be the only one. I get that he got caught using unfair methods to find an enemy he wanted to shoot down. He got his punishment and HT has decided it is time served, debt paid.
But are you claiming he has no skill? If not, you should check your wording. If so, that is a verifiable test that can be setup.

Yeah this was clearly the better fight when it wasn't 2am on a Friday night after a 6 pack. That was the first time we dueled and didnt intend it to be taken seriously. As you can see, I won the duel that mattered.
I'm not going to give this clown another DA match. He hasn't earned respect. Only if it were heavily sponsored on twitch like a Paul v Tyson or something, then maybe it would be worth my time.

In reality, the majority of the playerbase left is far from elite. The majority of the players left are actually less than average pilots. Sure, they're going to kill the new guys over and over, but it's more or less because they fly in packs. I do agree that it is very hard for new players to even try the game, much less stick around.
Indeed. I've tried with 4 people. Only 2 have made it past a month, one folds up on 7/2 and the other is sticking it out despite not having time to play much. I might take on the account that expires on 7/2 as a colleague sounds interested.

Then I don't think your claim that he has no skills and couldn't beat you without an alt and speed advantage and buddies to back him should be given any merit.
That is testable if you want and a full .ahf file can be posted for all those that want that.
Again, if Skyrr's KD was 0.85 and his hit percentage 6% would we be having any of these threads?
Or is the real issue a lot of people get mad that he shoots them down? And he doesn't care.

I can't speak to the stalking. I'm not sure what the HTC rules are on that, but they are unenforceable.
He doesn't have to spy or cheat to stalk you. When it announced "Violator killed PlayerX" if on his team he simply asks where he was when Violator killed him and what was he flying. People have done that sort of thing since AW. No hack required. What would HTC even do about that if it cared, which I don't see why it would.
But you said... And I've seen you claim elsewhere (not worth tracking down every quote) that he can only beat you when diving in from above with a faster plane and his buddies to help while you were busy in another fight.
This is false. He has 3 accounts and switches during mid sortie as soon as I get a kill, only to only engage me when he enters the fight. This is poor gamemenship. Sorry not worth my $15 every time we are both logged in. I did a roll a few times at the same fight he was at without switching and have killed him too, but playing this gotcha for gotcha crap when I only have an hour to play ain't worth my money.
Bascially almost every situation that Skyyr and I have been in that he gets a kill on me has been preconceived by him setting up an engagement against me by switching teams and targeting me defending a field.

That's funny because yesterday you were at the middle island on a different country, where EVERY country had an airfield. No side switch took place nor was I flying prior. I was in the tower all morning until that sortie.

Can you admit he is in fact quite skilled, but that you don't like that he seems to seek you out personally at a greater than natural chance frequency? Wouldn't that be a more tenable position?

I have a few friends that are interested, they just don't own a PC to game on! I've been trying to get them hooked up! So, cool on you!
Banshee7 said: Unfortunately, I don’t think changing DAR will change that. We’re at a point where there are no new players, and the existing ones don’t want to get any better. No offense (especially to you Mak), but AH has become a retirement home social club. I think most play to pass the time. There’s hardly any competition anymore because the players that seek the path of less resistance have taken over. I’ve seen it far too many times since my return. A large DAR bar attacks a base and as soon as defenders up, they attack a different field on a different front.
I agree and.... Tough for new guys and has beens to hop back in. I've seen it first hand and while trying to get new folks involved. The current player set has refined and honed their skills over many years with the same bunch of hardened, grizzled dudes. The chaff has been threshed out over the years via attrition, boredom or whatever leaving basically the good players, the really good players and the few elite players. New guys are seals that get clubbed relentlessly until they quit. It's no fault of the current strata of players left, they're just doing what's done when you reach a certain level. Unfortunately that level has nothing underneath to support it. Layers of mediocrity, ineptness and beginners are needed to replenish the game. The few that show up aren't enough to feed everyone. AH had such a population back in the day but no longer. You (all of you) may not see the eliteness in your day-to-day trials and tribulations during your 17th year at AH but you're a shark swimming in a sea of sharks. It's pretty daunting for a newbie to get their feet wet in these waters.
I wish there was an easy way to ID new guys. In the old days squads were the "bomb" and so everyone tried to get into one. Now not so much. Like minded players end up flying together to have fun eventually join up sometimes.
The plus in IDing these new guys would be that some squads would be able to step up and mentor these new players, I know my squad would. Having a couple wingman on with you helps survival a lot. Not to mention cutting into the learning curve.

You didn't get a kill on me yesterday. Notice my wording.
It did prove that you skipped past 6 cons to only attack me though as you logged in and rolled for the enemy team during my sortie.

Yup, like "+" in front of their name on the roster board or something for a couple months or until they get a few achievements awarded.

By fights, we are referring to a battles on the Map, not a single person. Who the hell is going to roll just to fight a lone 13k-15k 152, or 190D for a BnZ snore fest? If you call that great fun, than you don't understand the gameplay at all and why the #s are really suffering. Most people don't switch teams only to go after one player when they get a kill on the map. That's really not what the game is designed to be for and why play a MMO strategy game if you are going to act this way?

Skyyr is not a hack, he is just very good. As for multiple accounts, HTC has never had in issue with that unless it was used to spy. Its easy to see Skyyr is not spying as he streams his flights strait through.
Bottom line, send Hitech an email, or call him with your issues.
So does logging on as Skyyr, Skyyr II or Skyyr III or Rusyn for about a minute (or even fighting for a bit) on one team then relogging as either skyyr, skyyr II, Skyyr III or Rusyn and attacking that team he was just on count? Because he has done that several times and others have even commented on that in game ("wasn't he just on our team"). He doesn't stream the "pre login" Then there is the issue with him and TheJudge or other "theDamned"on separate teams at the same furball never killing each other but racking up kills on "less experienced" guys. That actually happend to me, his teammate was on my side and I was chased by skyyer form outside of radar range and made course corrects as I did, I was 100' feet off the deck half a dar ring and pulling away. We already knows he uses teamspeak or discord to talk to his buds on other teams from his own youtube videos. Spin it how you want, that's wrong! As to hitech, sent email, zero action or response.

Why is it that when short comings are brought up 9 out of 10 times nothing is done? I have a history of bringing to attention to things such as infractions and things missing in other arenas and it appears that nothing is being done. My last post had over 100 views and not one reply. I am really getting annoyed with this game. Yet they will let hacks such as Skyyr with his numerous accounts back into this game and nothing goes noticed also if you make a report of an INDIVIDUAL violating the rules nothing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING IS SAID OR DONE. Enough Said
POPS :mad: :bhead :bhead
There is a reason we went from Maxing out arenas with wait times, to around 50 players give or take a bakers dozen in the MA on prime time.
There is a reason so many "STILL ALIVE" Old Time Air warrior/WarBird players have moved on.
HTC went from having a fully staffed office with a group of people working on the game to just HighTech with a Server in his closet.
The best thing about AH is it's old community .... and even that seem to be getting driven away as of late.

I'm not going to sugar coat it, I'm not necessarily happy with HT nor some of the decisions he has made as of late.
But, honestly I'm hoping for AHIV, I'm also hoping Santa brings me a Pimax Chrystal Super for my birthday and we all experience world peace in our lifetimes.
I think between the Covid Drama, the social/political/economic feces fest, and some personal issues; HT took a major hit in his ability to further develop AH right now, and that may well effect the longevity of the game itself.
I personally hope when AH goes it's because HT is pushing up daisies at ripe old age of 101 not because of financial reasons or real life drama. I'm Half suspicious HT is keeping the lights on for the community more than anything else but that can only last so long.
What really chaps my arse are Fanboys who blinding defend their fandom and it doesn't matter to me if its Anime, AH, DCS, Elder Scrolls, Fallout, il2, Microsoft, Star Wars, Etc ... I hate Fanboys.
AH has problems, Some new, some have been here since day 0, But people sticking their head in the sand or worse yet defending the shortcomings is not honestly going to promote the longevity of the game or the communities existence in it.
I think AH may still have a few years left so long as subscriptions allow HT to afford to keep the server running and online but I wouldn't expect new planes let alone a new version any time soon. I also suspect one little speed bump like a bank going down, a hurricane, or a security breach could end Aces High once and for all.
Again draw your own conclusions.

To be honest the days have always been numbered for this game, just like any other game. However this game still has the bones to continue on for a long time lumbering along as it is.
I dont think Hitech "doesn't really give a crap" about the game, after all he does keep it running just upgrading the speed to the server. I just think he is busy with something else right now. 20 years ago this game was his passion, now its been replaced by something else. I wish he could pool together a number of player/volunteers to manage the game now. Im sure there are plenty of players that have been here years and could be trusted to manage minor tweaks to the game BBS, and website much like he has stream lined the skin updates using players to do the skinning as well as run the approval process so all he has to do is load them up at the beginning of a tour.
Creating a bit of traction by word of mouth might start out with a small ad that the rest of us could push the crap out of, who knows what else could be done. Heck a go fund me for "Air Show" sponsorship might be something to look into. The game isnt dead yet.

FMOD is a very robust system for the sound and has lots of options. The issues are learning the program, and getting the sounds. Challenger had made a good start and his son said he would look into it with the sounds his father had. Its just not as easy to do as it was in the old ".wav" days.

But the way it works is very cool. The sounds we have are no bad, some just look for change. he .wav days were easier for us, but FMOD is way cooler for the game as a whole. I would pay more attention to updating SOME graphics like explosions to compete with modern sim effects visually. I can do that, but I'm not sure what file type or resolution the current system will accept. The current are not horrible, but a refresh would be nice.
