I would like to start a thread for the purpose of getting some feedback from the Aces High community about the monthly KOTH events.
What do yall feel should be changed, added, removed etc?
One thing that I would like to see is a dedicated KOTH map/arena, where the ground level is truly 0 feet.
I would also like to see the actual playing area extended. I feel that the current setting is too small. We have had several instances of people, whether on purpose or not, starting on someone's 6 at the start of the round.
Finaly, I do like the idea of the "drop" in at the start, however, it's just tough for some people to get control, remember to put the gear up and then get started with the round. I feel that a good solution to this problem would be to have the starting FH up on a plateau at 5k like there are in the DT.
Any other suggestions, squeakes, gripes or complaints?

Try here http://hitechcreations.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=135 (http://hitechcreations.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=135)
Sounds kinda dumb to me, never tried it. If I did want to try it, read about it or add my input I would go to the forum designed for it.
-
Well, BigMax, I tried.
So much for trying to drum up support/suggestions from the Aces High community.
Yet again the arrogance of the Aces High world has reared its ugly head :(
At any rate, I must apologize for obviously being sooo stupid that it annoyed someone soooo much that I mistakenly posted on the wrong forum.
It's a wonder why Aces High didn't take off UNTIL Air Warrior was down and out.
-
HEHE, again I apologize BigMax, for looking at the glass of water as half empty.
I guess I have found the correct forum to post this thread. After all even those that don't care about KOTH are OBVIOUSLY reading this thread :)
-
don't let one guy ruin your fun dano
i would fly KOTH but its hard enough finding time for the computer itself nowadays.

AH arrogance, eh? :rolleyes:
-
sling sucks.
-
Yeah...but you swallow. And arent very good at Geography.
-
Well, I thought "ignorance" would be too harsh of a word.
But thanks for proving my point Sling.
At any rate, if ANYONE has anything constructive to say on this thread, please do so.
Otherwise quit wasting my time, the Aces High community's time and yours.
-
So...let me get this straight.
You call AH'ers arrogant.
Then you claim that AH didnt "take off" until AW shut down. Sounds pretty arrogant to me.
For what its worth, I thought AH was "taking off" just fine with or without the AW'ers.
And if the swallowing comment is what you're getting all pissy about, it wasnt aimed at you. It was aimed at Moose aka "Lost Boy". So lighten up Francis.
-
Where the hell did you get that I thought the swallowing comment was aimed at me, Francis?...ahh nevermind...I should have used ignorant in the first place.
Quit wasting my time!
-
Yeah....you sound more like a spitter to me anyway.
-
Hmm, maybe I should find a new line of work...as a score keeper.
Dano: 2
Sling showing his ignorance: 15
Yep you got me beat. Great match sweetknees :)
Out.
Now then, anyone else have any suggestions about KOTH or anything having to do with KOTH?
-
I wanna waste your time too. Say something dumb again.
F.
-
......
You guys definately take the ignorant cake.
Do yall scan all the posts just to start fights?
Is that what yall do when you earn computer time at school?
I think the recess bell is ringing, yall better get back to class.
Anyone know how to change the title of a thread? I'd like to change this one to "Two ignoramouses (Sling and Furious) trying to get on top."
Is that possible?
Oh yeah, btw, going to retry this thread in the "appropriate" category I guess . Just incase you two want to head over there and show me how juvenile you really are.
-
There isnt anything wrong with making any suggestions, you should respect that someone would take their time to think of a suggestion.
But anyways...A good idea would be to go back to the DA map with the 3 roll places..It was alot bigger, since the map we have now is pretty small IMO.
-
I was thinking of the DA also.
One problem that I came up with (and have seen in the past) is that if there are others in the DA, sometimes they don't understand that we are "KOTHing" and just jump right in and start shooting.
It was actually kind of funny though .
-
dam..man OSme guys took this thread and HIJAKED!!..lmfao...
Air Start!!..hell if you cant airstart...You should be in the TA then...Defntly not in KOTH...
Only thing i think should be improved is..ICON thingy...IT would make it very interesting to see no names for a round or 2...
Thats it from me..
Too funny the firts 6 posts are just crap talking.,..lolol
Love BiGB

Knock off the name calling gents, and dano your the one who started this thread down grade.
HiTech
-
If I did want to try it, read about it or add my input I would go to the forum designed for it.
or just click on the thread entitled "KOTH adjustments", whatever floats your boat apparently.
Hblair had a very constructive thread shortly after Wild Wednesday ended that helped publicize the KOTH event, no reason this thread can't generate more refinements.
-
HiTech if you would be so kind as to explain to me how I started this?
If you read the post you will notice the shot at not putting this thread in the correct forum.
How is that warranted?
AM I MISSING SOMETHING HERE?!
-
Dano, try second reply, right at the end of the message:
It's a wonder why Aces High didn't take off UNTIL Air Warrior was down and out.
I sincerely hope you weren't trying to spark off a reasonable discussion with that little snipe. Such a flame-inducing comment isn't really suitable for someone trying to be taken seriously.

Bring back "Wild Wed."
I was just starting to get involved with 'em when they stopped, and I always had a great time. Questions tha have been raised about the map in the KOTH could be solved by adopting the WW terrain.
-
I'd bet dollars to doughnuts that not a single one of you would talk like this to each other if you were face to face. Ego victories are cheap when you don't have to risk an arse-whoopin' for being a schmuck...
Oh, and I agree with the ground level at 0 feet thing, although it probably won't help ME any.
I'm tempted to suggest that the only ceiling be at the top of the canyon where the wind will wreak havoc on your plane, but it would probably mean at least half of the participants would fly around avoiding a fight until they could boom and zoom the survivors to kingdom come. Maybe drop the canyon height to about 8K?

I'd like to see KOTH on a regular schedule. Knowing that KOTH will be, for example, on the 1st Friday of the month makes it easier to plan participation.
KOTH is now scheduled between other events. Looking at the calendar for the last four months, KOTH has been held on the 2nd Friday of the month twice, once on the 3rd Friday, and once on the 4th Friday. Kinda hard to plan for.
KOTH is not on the calendar for March. Nor is anything else scheduled for a Friday in March.
Since other events seem harder to schedule, why not schedule the easy one, that is, KOTH on a regular, predictable schedule?
Can't think of any flames to add at this time.
HONK!

No, I was trying to spark a reasonable discussion with the first post. Obviously someone felt it neccessary to hijack a simple question (see second post.)
Oh, and lets not forget about the 8th and 9th post when peeps started talking about oral sex.
Oh yee of the mighty Aces High world, please don't think that your do-do doesn't stink. Yours, mine and everyone else's do-do stinks at one point in time, sometimes mulitple peeps do at the same time.
Road map time (for those of you that don't bother reading the WHOLE post before putting in your .02 worth, you know who you are):
I asked a simple question. POST 1
Someone, who thought their do-do didn't stink decided to come along and correct my mistake. POST 2
At which point, I felt that this correction to what, in reality is an insignificant mistake, was not called for and decided to post a rebuttle. POST 3
Somewhere, oh along post 8 and 9, people started talking about oral sex and who swallows and who doesn't. Why? Your guess is as good as mine.
When I decided to state the obvious fact that Aces High didn't start to get the mass of customers until Air Warrior died (and your even more of a fool then me for starting this thread if you think for twice the price a month Aces High was going to pull peeps from Air Warrior, before their staff sold out), someone thought that I thought the oral sex comment was meant for me. How the hell they came to that conclusion is BEYOND me. POST 12
But alas, I digress.
So, from here on out I am declaring that I was the assshole!
This whole incident was INTIRELY my fault and I apologize.
Just remember when you see "You were shot down by Dano."
Think to yourself, "Hmm, I just got shot down by the number one assshole in Aces High."

Nah, you're not number one by a long shot.

You started your own problem in Post #3. :)
A real AW wouldn't have sniped like that at a little provocation provocation, he'd slowly plot the utter destruction of the forum nanny that dared challenge his carefully considered choice of venues.
All you succeded in doing with that little snipe was insuring the thread went down the path it did, and succeeded in rekindling the AW/AH BS.
Good Job!!

lol my thoughts exactly, the first "wrong forum" comment was like that newbie keeping his nose pointed up at ya even tho u clearly have an extra 25knots of airspeed to bleed out of your wings before flipping over to finish the rope. Reading on I was surprised to see the thread go the way it did. HT prolly just stepped in because he was annoyed to see someone blow a set like that

I agree WT & Dano... We do need more room. Next KOTH will have a larger map, might only be the DA terrain but it's a start.
As for the rest of this stuff, c'mon guys...

I have already looked at it.... It's almost the same size as the rumble terrain... So I guess the consensus is that we do in fact need a larger map to work with...
Good, constructive feedback (in whatever forum) is good.

Agreed, however, until KOTH pulls in a larger share of the community, we'll have to settle for the Friday that TODs are "off".
Simply put, TOD draws a bigger crowd so it has a higher priority. You guys help me with ideas to get it BIGGER & BETTER, I'll fight for a regualr slot... deal?
I have been posting the KOTH (March 28th) dates about a month out.... They hit the calendar about the same time. Being the schedules and planning is somewhat fluid, any farther advance notice might prove self destructive. Jordi also sends the schedule updates with his newsletter.
If there are any of you that would like a personal invitation to KOTH, please feel free to email me (button in signature) and I'll start a KOTH mailing list.
