Aces High General Discussion / Re: Accusations Overload

« Last post by Animl-AW on Today at 01:34:14 PM »

I wondered with the state of online gaming (and the world) if hacking/cheating had made its way into AH.  Other games are full of them. I only remember one or two players to ever hack AH “back in the day.”  I haven’t seen one hackusation yet.

Prolly should not carry on the subject too far.
The point is these are baseless unproven and reckless accusation due to hurt ego. Its toxic talk here or there. The knee-jerk false accusations is annoying, harm to the game is a byproduct.

Really getting tired of all the "cheat" accusations in the MA. To many immediately use that accusation anytime they get shot down or killed, just because they are too ignorant or egotistical to understand why. Any given engagement will have thousands of different plausible explanations for the outcome, besides "cheating".

If you suspect someone is in fact cheating, film it, send it to Hitech. Otherwise SHUT UP. We are running new players off with this childish behavior. I think Hitech and the Mods need to start muting/squelching on the term. 

Are you that fantastic that you get called "cheat".
Get over yourself.

I'd have no problem with a 10 minute mute for mentioning cheaters in Melee.

I'd agree if reviewed in context by a moderator, but not an automated mute like profanity.

Self appointed AH BBS Western Union messenger per se arho?

Some folks think they are entitled around here.  Maybe the ankle-humping syndrome is kicking in, who knows.

IMO, the game is a bit more challenging than it used to be. I think it makes it very tough on older players returning, expecting not to have to be as patient as you do today. Nowadays you have more pilots in easy fast late war planes who don't really understand ACM, so they use it as a crutch. With less players in slower planes to shoot, it can make it frustrating, especially when a squad is using those tactics in #s.

The goal for you and returning players I'd encourage is. To practice and get better at defense ACM and overshoot kills. This will help your game tremendously. Do some 1 v 1s in the match play and don't be scared. I know you aren't, but for other players as well. This skill very much helps me in the MA to be more successful and escape the combat area for another run.

This is about the most accurate explanation. That’s always been my fighting style anyway. Low and slow and sucker in the high ones.

I love you, too, Britty
