If it's try something new or let the game die it's slow death as subscribers slowly die off I am for trying something new..

Issue is there's no one to implement any real change so we wait until enough of us die off and HT doesn't make a profit any longer and the game goes dark..

Why would I read it like a fairy tale?

Edit: nothing changed after reading other than I noticed more hyperbole than last time. Especially the last two paragraphs.

As I and others have said, the game is what it is. Play it or don’t. It’s just a game.

Meh! As you said, it is what it is.

Many request would gut the core of the game.

Updates like poly count and a few graphic updates would put a fresh face on things but not disrupt the core of game play. Things like 2 countries and AI would.

I’m not holding my breath. As long as things don’t go bad I’m here. Its good as is. Not as competitive, why selling other games here only hurt it, as opposed like older days when graphics were equal and you could do that with no harm. It came down to game play. Now its all about graphics, even if actual game play sucks. We have the best game play IMO. How many have a human horde fighting a human horde?

The way I see it, games with better graphics have sad game play. More money in game and gear for less game play doesn’t cut it for me. Also, other modern sims have more bugs too.

And again, it may be an issue for some, but can Hitech fix it? I dont think so. And like I said, if someone isnt going to spend the time to try all avenues to solve an issue, what make you think they are going to bother staying in the game more than 5 minutes if that is their attitude.

I try not to buy broken things before I buy them, unless I plan on restoring it to some sort of value.

I dont think that's what people looking to try a new game are all about..

You say some are having the problem... how many is that? Sounds unknown.

You say you dont think Dale could fix it.. sounds like an assumption.

Its a piss poor first impression.. bottom line.

Technical Support / Re: AH3 and Linux

I ran AH via wine on linux mint - biggest issue I had was finding a native nvidia driver that would remain installed. Frame rate was in the 30's and machine was an older unused computer. I checked to see if I made any notes, but have changed computers and didnt save anything (was a long time ago).

Back when bands would give you two for one.

Back in the day when rock vocals made the song/band and btw listen to this killer guitar riff.
Thats when it was more inclusive to females because they are drawn to vocals/lyrics and beat. Females liking a band can make it or break it, as they did the Beatles.

Today much is flip-flopped testosterone over-load geared to pretty much just males. Listen to my guitar and btw I can read lyrics too. They lost 50% of the audience and cannot break mainstream without females. They chased females off to other things like techno, because of the beat and fake autotune vocals. Very few bands have both great vocals and gtr.

IMO, they lost their way. To reach the big audience the vocals must be hot. Ya won’t do it with just gnashing gtrs and looking the slob.

The biker world is basically dead, who are you attracting? Wannabe dudes some females.

Old reunion bands can make it because of vocals and lyrics that are lacking in today's rock. They can fill that void and an arena.

When I was mixing monitors on stage I can see who is in front rows and to watch the audience change from band to band was telling where we were going. I lost interest and yanked the plug. When I saw mostly just dudes I figured they’d do 1-2 tours on top and fade away. No longevity at the top. Here today, gone tomorrow. I would not commit to stuff like that to make a living. Just one-offs for a paycheck.

There is a lot of wasted talent out there, because they just don’t have the vocals that draw attention. Thats mostly in young female stuff now and thats where your females went. American Idol gave a rebirth to vocals, most winners are females.

These male bands with fake devil vocals have a single audience, angry males.

IMO, thats why old rock and pop live forever.

Even Pink Floyd, the vocals and lyrics are gripping, they suck you in, the rest is cool sounds.
Jeff Beck only had 2 instrumentals that broke into mainstream, its all gtr.
A LOT of females at Journey shows.

I value survivabilty as well. I put a lot of effort into the attack, succeed or fail, but I also do the best I can to limp my shot-up, leaking, smoking wreck and wounded crew back home.
