Its happening a lot more often, and not just to me. With overall subscriptions off by at least 10% and a lot of people on the fence I hope the powers that be will take a good hard look at tweaking what they can. An awful lot of good players are on there last leg with things....
I can empathise with this as I to am finding myself logging off. I say this as a long time subscriber (2002) and as a strat player. Interested to know where you get the 10% figure.....insider trading?
Being a strat player I'm not seeking the holy grail of the elusive one v one. By stating that I hope to
emphasize in general and not the usuale furballers whine. I see the MA for the multi contact situations that it's ALWAYS been. So having said that, one has to remember
things work in cycles in AH. Team size / dominance, style of play, types of planes used, squads of notoriety, mission leaders and folk actually do come and go. These all cycle through with some aspects lasting longer than others. Rooks presently, as an example, are in a transition stage. Sadly a dumbing down on a strategic level and to some extent skill.
I find myself logging off mostly due to lack of challenges with some reasons being attributed to game play / style. Being a vet player some of the challenges are no longer a thrill. Some of the challenges were made pointless. Some of the challenges are a chore and quite frankly someone elses bloody turn
.
Peak time hoards are becoming irksome now. One skilless wave of suiciders followed by another. One bunch here another there and a lack of defenders. Yer... mission goers love it and it's arguable a good training exercise but alas I have been purged of such thoughts and tactics many years ago. Disappointingly players of long standing still doing the "Nintendo". Bomb an bail, pork and auger, suicide runs, Lancstukas of towns, Cv's and the poor old Gv players. As for players that bail rather than fight .....ffs.
I hope not to be reduced to a whiny vet player. To used to it all and remembering the good ol days. I could sit here retyping ideas about game play, ways to tweak this an that and the score but to what avail. This after all is someone elses business. Their prolly more concerned about the look of the dated graphics. They have to attract new subscribers to replace the old in the next decade.
With there being only seven days in the week and HTC's limited resources we'll have to wait our turn for updated strat system and tweaks on scoring, ack etc. Remembering they can't code out stupidity unfortunately.
As for me and my
rented space I think I'll be watching a little more TV untill this cycle settles down though.
