FREE Aces High? New way to get fresh players?

[nrshida]

I'm just pissed off because one of my favorite arenas has been destroyed

Really bud, you're a bit angry you say? We hadn't noticed.


I was considering suggesting a blending of the old and new. Reinstate the furbal lake airfields for free-to-play, but keep the queue-based MPA aspect concurrently. There was actually a maximum capacity at the lake where the furballing became absurd and people would move on to the MA. So it was sort of self-regulating when it came to upper numbers. There isn't any war-winning stratergy aspect to learn which probably explains it's accessibility to newer players. Also the European timezone might become at least a little filled again which could stop the outward spread of emptyness. I appreciate HTC is running a business but one would imagine there'd be a positive effect on spill-over subscriptions. Also the griefing of actual duels that used to happen automatically goes away.

Perhaps worth a trial period?

I thought for awhile I saw the DA terrain converted to AH3. Anyway it's a moot issue, if Hitech wants it or an AH3 original construction DA terrain back. Building one or touching up an AH2-->AH3 conversion is much simpler than a full themed terrain for the Melee arena. The Furball lake from back then, 30-40 minutes or less if no one cares if the topography is left plopped in as is by the elevation tool.

In the days this POST has lived on past it's too ripe for polite company, Violator could have plopped together a new DA terrain. The old one was no piece of eyecandy, just functional.

It is presently employed as the MPA map.

Probably for the best to not antagonise him further. The apparently entertaining tirade might well be concealing the pre-meltdown of a person who's invested waaaaay too much self-worth in a computer game and panicking over the realization that it might be coming to an end.

I'd advise him to take a break from the game and reflect - if he'd demonstrated any capacity for listening

You're not the bad guy, Violator!

I most times don't bother to read any more of these types of threads, been here so long and have seen and participated in the discussions ....that I stopped paying attention to them probably 10 or more years ago...

I just hope you don't lose your passion for some knockdown dragged out dogfighting.... Players like you don't show up as much as all others..

.saying that, all types are welcomed, even Ack hugging runners (...eventually get shot down, heh)

Hang in there.... and just to point out that everyone eventually will experience burned-out ....it just takes longer for some...

I do miss the old DA Days...

Cheers
