Until now I've never seen "Game breakers" here until now
« on: September 11, 2004, 08:37:11 PM »
I've stayed out of this mess. But after a couple of weeks of the "experiment" I've got some input.

Everyone has a "Game breaker". I've got mine. I left a game after 5 years because of it. For me it was Axis/Allied and an RPS.

The hook here was to fly "anything you want, anytime you want".

I don't fly a hell of alot, spend more time doing things related to this game then playing it. When I do I'm a furballer. I just want a good fight. I like midwar planes. Give me a fight and I'm happy. If there's a fight I'll find it.

Sure I *****ed about the fuel porkage, I ***** about the hordes, I ***** about timid pilots but in the end NONE of those things to me are "Game breakers".

This game rocks. The new experiment doesn't affect me AT ALL.

But I don't like what I'm seeing here.

This game as it "was" was driven by the war gamers. Makes no sense to me, I'm old school but they are many, and they are devoted to the continual pursuit of winning the war that never ends.

It was driven by those people. LOTS of them. It was the engine that made the arena dynamic, ever changing.

With the adjustments of AHII fuel porkage values and the addition of plane restrictions it has in effect stifled the engine that makes the arena "go".

Those people that are vital parts of the engine that makes the arena go are coming face to face with a "Game breaker".

That's not good. That's obvious. Got some good people I know who LOVED this game looking elsewhere.

Some reassessment is in order.

If the D was my ride, I'd be lookin too.

Two Centavo's from a furballer who wouldn't get caught dead in a pretty ponie..

That's because beet, you travel to the beat of a different drummer..

..and like we don't  know that :)

Nomak, I'm VERY happy where I am. Did the IL-2 thing a couple of years back. Not enough people.

People is where it's at.

I'm all for population. The more there is, the happier I am. Population is a "Game breaker" for me. The biggest of them all.

I'll deal with "my" stuff. I'm just fine. Let there be people.

I've taken the last 6 or 8 weeks off so I'm not up to speed on this but it sounds like a really bad idea.  Maybe I got lucky w/ numbers but I logged in, killed 5 in my D pony, landed and logged.

nopoop, Ive found out that flying now isnt very fun, so I switched to alternatives.  As you've seen, I skin planes (not too well at that), I've taken on the squadron spotlight, and I also have discovered some other games.

Im the same way as you, dont fly often, but when i do I want a big furball.

If you stick to skinning or other things, you wont burn out, but you'll be around for when the game gets to your liking. :)

I've always done alternatives. Last few years my flying time is a fraction of the total that I spend on game related stuff. If it wasn't for the flightsim I wouldn't have discovered all the other stuff related that I enjoy.

The game feeds all the side stuff.

Glad your back steve, ya pony dweeb..

No problem Nomak  Everyone searches in this flightsim thing for the comfortable spot. I've done my searchin thing. IL-2 can be a blast.

I'm comfee here. But lately I've had visions of where I was once a couple of years back and seeing the first steps of what was done there...here..

Just throwing up a flag.

..a I'M HAVING VISIONS OF SOMETHING I'VE ALREADY BEEN THROUGH AND DON'T CARE TO GO THROUGH AGAIN kinda thing..

As in.."Fly any plane you like, anytime you like"

That's why people hooked in..

BIG PLUS

Well, it got me here. And all this turmoil doesn't affect me with my chosen ride.

So with me, I have no axe to grind.

Just a heads up to why alot of people signed on in the first place :)
