Could have a separate server/arena, as well as over 18 limits. No need to police language, more consistant pilots, possibilities of utilizing ACMs, I mean imagine the possibilities... maybe even some freekin loyalty to country??!!? WHO KNOWS??????
Anton:D
-
We used to pay 30$ a month to play, I would gladely pay that much again if they would higher another plane maker, so NateDog and Supperfly coud have another to help them crank out more planes.
-
Rather have another employee help Pyro code em into the game. From what I hear Nate and Super have alot of planes done or near completion.
-
I think we should be thankful we get what we do for a reasonable price. AH see's many new innovations and updates, of course you could fly brand 'W' and be content to see the development team pulled from the product you are paying for to work on the latest whim of your CEO.
-
If they give us lots more planes each patch they soon will run out of planes to give us. Plus i cant afford more ive just bought a new car:) .
-
Good Grief, their were so many planes In WW2, and we have tanks to,man It wold take them a centuary at this rate:)
-
Geez the more I read the boards, the more I realize the average person in this game is a complete moron! Yes, the typical retort would be something inane and unimaginative like, "Then don't read these boards."...although it would probably read, "Than don't read these boreds." Where did you dolts get your education?

There are times when a seperation of players becomes appropriate, but seperation based soley on age would be foolish, as would an arena where there were no restrictions on language. Aces high is clearly not a game that gives an advantage to quake like reflexes, and so no benifit is given to the young kicking the geezers butts. Quite to the contrary, many younger folks find the patience needed to be an effective player elusive, and keeping everyone together helps us all grow and learn.
There is a seperate arena comming that will be based more on specific goals, with a mission based structure, and this may provide much of what you are looking for, but not a place to be vulgar. I have found in my many years on this earth that making something more expensive for no reason other than to be more "exclusive", actually increases the jerk to generosity ratio.
I have no idea why, but it is very often true.

So if AH was 30 dollars a month, all the people that paid that premium would:
1. Not curse on any channel.
2. Pilots would fly consistantly (whatever that means.)
3. Would fly with historically and technically correct techniques. ( I have this suspicion that you dont have a clue on this topic.)
4. Would choose a team and would be bound to that team unless they made a new account. (And you think balancing problems are bad now. Careful what you wish for.)
I fail to see how being over 18 (which I am,) and having more money to spend makes an individual a "better" AH player. And yes, that is exactly what you are saying.
I think if HTC were to go with your idea of a "special" arena for people who would pay twice as much for the same product, you would have very little fun.
Of course the benefit of very little lag would be a plus. But then again, it is hard to clog up a sever with less than 10 people in an arena at the busiest of times.
I have the solution for you Anton. I'm suprised with your obviously superior maturaty, intelligence, and skill level, you didnt come up with it on your own.
FLY OFFLINE!!!!!!!!!
-Everyone is over 18! (assuming you are.)
-There is no swearing...in fact no typing or talking at all!
-Extremely consistant pilots! (they just fly around in circles.)
-You have only YOUR superior and accurate ACM! (i think you can even film it, and play it back over and over again, just so you can be in awe of your aerial prowess.)
-No need to worry about country hopping! (unless of course you switch sides.)
AND BEST OF ALL!!!!!!! IT IS FREE!!!!!!!!
The grade for all of your ideas and sarcastic help and training posts: F
-
I think $14.95 is to much price should be $9.95 ...to much competition coming quickly.
-
Damn you for posting an idea Anton!:D
what the hell is Steve ranting about?
-
Hehehe, if you don't know, you're among them.
-
Keep AH standard. But those of us who would pay the $30 could have the choice of the adult swim or the kiddie pool I imagine that the premium server & the lack of immaturity would prove quite popular. Again just a random thought.......
Anton

Alf- good info & lets hope.
Loser- way to take EVERYTHING out of context, yer handle says it all----- bet yer a knit eh?
Steve- dude yer babblin.........

You could be right Anton... hehe sometimes I do that.

Hmmm...very hypocritical post IMO. I seem to recall having to drag your bellybutton to the DA when you had a little tissy fit the other night after I shot you down. Just because you die a lot, getting rid of a lot of the player base isn't going to improve your chances of winning.
Ack-Ack
-
I think there should be a special $100/month arena for those who wish to pay that much.
Maybe even a $500/month arena for those that really want to meet and greet the elite.
Shouldn't cost HT much to set it up. Merely a change in billing and a limited access arena.
(BTW, HT, I expect at least 10% of the take...... I thought of it first!)
-
Feel free to pay $30 a month.I'm sure HiTech won't object.
-
Anton i fail to see how i took ANYTHING out of context. Perhaps i read a bit more into what you said, but that wasnt hard to do.
No i fly bishop, always have, always will.
Anton it is easy for me to read into your post in light of your text buffer behavior. (if your handle in the MA is also "anton".)
You are constantly screaming and throwing a tantrum "defend this base right now! whaaaaa!" "If you dont defend this particular base the knits/rooks are going to get our HQ, win the reset, or steal the prize from my cracker jacks,"
To make things worse, if the base is captured it is a flurry of "i told you so's" and "thanks for not helping ME at all." If the base is not captured you make it out to be that you single handedly killed every single attacking plane. As far as cursing on the text channels go, I would rather see a string of constant profanity of the most vile nature than witness the tantrum of an armchair general.
Again i am stretching things a little, but sadly not much.
p.s. I believe that somewhere in the Aces High help file there is actually a brief note that states:
"If loser says something that you don't like (for whatever reason,) shoots you down, or reveals the sad and honest truth, you MUST reply using: "loser111, your name says it all."
Again, grade: F

Well, after reading reading Loser's post, it's quite obvious his callsign fits him quite well. If you don't have anything constructive to add to a post, just keep your big mouth closed LOSER

Ohhh one more thing LOSER, instead of burning me now, on the BBS, feel free to drive up here to Calgary and spout off to my face. LOSER !!!

Or do something clever as an incentive, like cut all perk planes' cost by a factor of two or ten or whatever if you pay $100/month, and don't pay any perk costs at all for $500/month. After all, at $500/month you're giving HTC the same income as more than 30 dweebs, without the server load that 30 dweebs would cause...
-
."...although it would probably read, "Than don't read these boreds." Where did you dolts get your education?
LOL, probably one of the funniest things I have read in a thread in a long time. Or should I say "probababley on off the funnyiest things I have red in a long time" ?
And to anyone interested in paying $30 a month, go ahead, HT will probably need some new tires for the RV soon. Not to mention the cost of 100LL, spark plugs and oil.
Lets hurry to get more planes added that nobody will fly anyway.

>>Geez the more I read the boards, the more I realize the average person in this game is a complete moron! <<
Hehe, Jeez Steve! And you're just coming to this realization? Hell, there have been inane topics, retorts etc on these boards for some time now ;)
For me, I could give a "rats' ass" about the spelling :) What I see as problematic is the apparent elitism implied; he wants to charge more, to keep certain people out ;)
Now this guy is definitely a candidate for god complex of the year competition.
:D

18 Year Old Age Limit? Please i've seen children 10-11 act way more mature than many of the adults on this game.
-
The idea has some merit but just because the amount is higher doesn't mean the players will be over 18. Language can be offensive no matter what the age group. If my son were in the room I'd especially be concerned. I don't feel there is a need to be able to spew garbage as a part of the game. If you can't get the idea accross with your flying then take it to the DA and make it personal.
-
Oedipus,
Thats jsut what I heard at the con watermelon chatting with everyone. Nothing less nothing more. Don't put to much into it.

Wouldn't he be surprised to no end if someone really showed up at his door? I imagine he'd be blinking like a bullfrog in a thunderstorm with shock ;)
Don't say silly things like that...especially when you have no Earthly idea whom you're addressing...Jay and Silent Bob are only actors (and bad ones at that), not role models.
-
They already havea separate server that costs 25 bucks a month and (supposedly) has a nicer community...it's called WARBIRDS.

ACK ACK wtg on the DA victory, although it has NOTHING to do with this post. But it seems like you want a lil more recognition so here ya go -- :rolleyes:
Loser- To be honest I really dont give a rats bellybutton whether you find my strategic input of any value or not. Especially since from your input on this post would leave me to believe that YOU, were likely one of the 15 or so STUPID bellybutton bish that kept fighting in the north slice of pizza today while those of us who use our HEADS to fight strategically, killed & captured the bases around our HQ.
In fact LOSER, when the dipshit bish that were fighting the north front lost they tulips (was about 2 hours to lose 6 bases) & were completely pushed out of the north slice. It gave knits & rooks area to fight each other, & By then the Bish that were fighting strategically (myself included) had taken a substantial foothold into rookland thus pushing them back from our hq. JUST LIKE I SAID IT WOULD!!!!!!
I know its alot to take in loser, but dont be afraid of intellegence & common sense. Try em for a change. You may be surprised with the results you have.

Was just pointing out the reasons why you want a premium arena is one that youself is guilty of doing quite a bit. Don't be all high and mighty when you wallow in the gutter with the rest of us.
Ack-Ack

Sheesh! Lost count the number of times we had similar posts for AW in the past.... same old argument keeps cropping up! :rolleyes:
If we had a "premium" arena, do you really think it would keep out 'undesirable' players? Do you really think that "having plenty of money" = "being sensible"? And would it be fair to the many good but less well-off players to be left with the "riff-raff" in the ordinary arena? Come on, get real.... this idea has been talked into the ground on many occasions and is just plain silly. We are all one community, and trying to segragate players in this way is really not on.

Anton:cool:
It seems you have taken a particular interest in me Anton. I am flattered. My online MA handle is "loser111"
That is right, the same loser111 that was fighting right beside you and MrWulf at the Knight's A220 (in the south) and later in the mission created by Venemous for Rook A239 (also in the south.) I didn't fly one sortie out of the north against the knights.
Hell i even talked to you on voice channel. I won't mention the number of the channel in case it is your squad channel.
I guess maybe I am at fault for starting this BBS pissing match, and if I offended anyone I apologize. I guess maybe I should have just said "Anton I don't think this is a good idea." I will try to refrain in the future.

Flossy,especially annoying is the presumption that those who can afford to pay more are going to better behaved,use better language,or be more loyal.
This is an elitist attitude to put it mildly.

Exactly... the whole idea is ludicrous. :)

No... actualy when the game was 30.00 amonth the over all "community" seemed better. I dont recall as much smack talking. There wasnt the amount of GBing one observes now. We had our gunman26 but he was a abberation..not the norm. Now I see see indiv's talking smack even about their uber ph00t GV skills....
I understand that this was most likely a reflection of a smaller dedicated flight sim community due to the existence of other flight sims and..price BUT there is/was a difference.
As far as elietism goes...Anton is simply vocalising something I've heard from alot of various people overtime.

Loser111
for having the maturity to change to a civil tone, I wasnt able or in the mood to.
As for being an elitist, well I never looked at it that way. But I dont consider being called an elitist a bad thing. I pay more for premium service for ISP, Cell phone, Cable TV, ETC ETC. Just searching for a game that is played with a bit more integrity. This game had plenty of integrity before it became so popular. As did the games before it.
So it seems I am beginning to realize, that much like in life, when any area becomes congested with too many people, the quality of life in that area is compromised. So with the new wave of stuff comin down the pike, It may be in fact time to move on to smaller & better things. Time will tell.
Thanx to all for your input-
Anton:cool:
-
Yeah if you payed $30 a month and it was only $15, you would eventually be able to fly for free cause you would have a hugh pre-paid account!!
-
HT, lissin up!! Pay no attention to these poopy-mouthed, wrong-thinking lame bains. Take their money, but don't heed them. Tey're sick. They need professional help. I think your current price structure meets my budgetary constraints quite well.:eek:
-
Could have a separate server/arena, as well as over 18 limits. No need to police language.....
By this did you mean that, since everyone would supposedly be over 18, everyone could swear like a sailor and not get muted?
-

Don't say silly things like that...especially when you have no Earthly idea whom you're addressing...Jay and Silent Bob are only actors (and bad ones at that), not role models.
Vor....I wouldnt extend the invitation if I wasnt prepared to deal with the consequences. Keep your opinions to yourself......For the record, I probably would have ended up buying him a beer, and laughing very hard at my arrogance.
-
First of all, hows paying twice as much a month gonna make people obey the rules? its not, its just gonna make more people cancel their account and those who dont arent gonna change, Why would they change?
Don't matter if ur paying $1 or $10000, how will it change ur attitude? All it will do is change how many people are able to play it. not like it will get rid of all the idiots.
As for 18 year old limit thats the stupidist thing I ever heard (well allmost)!!:mad:
If by that you mean since there would only be 18+ in the game u wouldnt have to monitor language and u could swear all u want.. well thats not why we have moderators, not all "grownups" like to listen to that language either.
If this is the case then I suggest u just clean up ur language or deal with being muted, its ur problem if ur not inteligent enough to say 1 sentence without 10 cusswords.
If you mean we r just a bunch of rude whiney idiots that cuss when they get shot down and ruin every1s fun, I know allot of yonger people who are much more mature than some older people with big mouths and bad tempers.
(don't get me wrong - I know allot of young people who r just as bad, but no more than older people)
btw I'm 14, 15 in december.
Anyway, I'm not worried HTC's pretty smart, wouldnt do ne thing that stupid!
dunno why I even bothered to reply to this thread, just made me kinda mad..
And if thats not what you meant by the 18 and up thing (if u even meant 18 and up) I'm sorry if I miss understood you.

Why do people think that spewing garbage with foul language is an adult trait????? Go to the nearest Junior High school. You'll hear LOTS of foul language and they certainly won't be adults. Faculty excluded of course. :rolleyes:
-
Tobasco yes, that was my thought.
And people are getting it all wrong-
My suggestion was to keep AH-basic available as it is for the same price.
Then HTC could offer a "premium account" for which you would need to prove over 18 age requirements. Thus elimintaing the need for mute police. I say this not because I want to cuss on the game, but rather it seems to be an issue for many. So like a rated R movie- you would expect to see a lil language, & not be offended by it. (Think ive been muted 2 times in 8 months)
My primary reason for this was to establish an arena where there was a higher level of honor & character. A place where when ya chased a jabo 38 down from 25k to 5k ya dint have to worry about 5 KIDS jumpin in front of you while your blastin the 38 & giving you a killshooter. A place where every 3 plane wasnt some kid in a N1k that does NOTHING but HO every pass.
If you folks that know, take a lil time & think back to AW & the difference between RR & FR, THIS is the difference I am seeking. I am willing to pay more for it. Its ok with me if your not. I wont call ya any names......:rolleyes:
hopefully the new arena will be enuff. I have flewn CT by the way, ive been in there 3 times I think. But when I was 3 on 1 by names I recognize from MA, I decided I may as well be in a comfortable plane to fight 3 on 1 & went back to MA. IM not sure what the answer is. But sideswitchin/landgrabbin/path of least resistance is ruinin the game for me.

So basically cuz you don't want to play by the "rules" I must stop playing the game? :rolleyes:
And about a buch of "kids" jumping in nikis and HO'ing everyone... well IMO if it works do it! you know you dont have to HO someone whos trying to HO you, you can turn away if you want.. and I don't see anymore "kids" flyin nikis/spits and stuff than older people.
IMO if someone gets infront of me and shoots the target I was shooting at, who cares the enemies dead, if you are good enough to kill the enemy be fore I can you are just getting rid of him that much sooner - by all means shoot him!
Play by the rules, I won't quit playing the game just because you dont won't to.
-
cajun im not sure if your actually reading the posts you quote or if maybe your comprehension skills are lacking, but I never suggested in anyway that the $15 a month accounts be closed, I just suggested that a premium account be avail.
Its ok, alot of people got excited & read more into the thread without reading what I was actually saying. Your not the only one to get it wrong, just the only one to get it wrong twice
So again to recap- keep AH for $15. Make available AHpremium, or an arena that promotes a more realistic approach to air combat, im willin to pay more, if thats what it takes.
It is of no surprise to me cajun, that you see nothing wrong with jumping in a N1k & HOing everything that passes, or jumping in front of a countrymen who has his con well at hand, riskin giving him a killshooter for a chance at stealing his kill. After all, thats exactly what im talkin about. & since you stated earlier your turning 15 in december, Well cajun you've just proved my point.
Thank you so very much:cool:
Anton
-
Oh, well still, it doesnt matter if u pay the 30 or 15$ account , not gonna change the attitude.
Anyway, no I don't see anything wrong with jumpin in nikis and HO'ing people if thats what ya like, but I don't like it. Which is why I play in CT where they have historic & different plane match ups.
But when I do fly in MA I fly stuff like Val and Hurri 1, I die allot, but man its fun when u shoot down a spit in a val or a niki in a hurri 1 :D
