There have been many suggestions that made it into the game, the things you typically suggest do not make it in because most of what you suggest would destroy AH, and then no one would be able to play.
I also love how you make completely false statements in your claims.
Gee, I wouldn't have imagined one might need to specify and explain every single bit of inclination and implication embedded within one's own text to make people understand something so obvious, lest they be fed words into their mouths which they've not even spoken, and even worse - being called a liar and BS for making a simple opinion.
So fine, let's play it your way.
1. People can fly any where? Really I didn't know people could get into a full arena, or if you mean any where on the map, I didn't know all planes had unlimited range? And when did it change that you can take off from any field with any plane?
Obviously, people can fly any where they want
within the constraints of their current chesspiece of choice - which in this case implies not the actual physical positioning on the map, but rather the situation where people are free to choose at which airfield within access they might take off.
2. You can fly any plane in what arena, simple things like disabling planes with side imbalance come to mind? Let alone the 2 other arenas with limited plane sets.
Obviously, people can fly any plane
within the limits of given planeset either specified by the map, or the side-balancer tool.
3. I also love how you say there is not tactics and strategy. What do you believe hit them where they ain't is? Do you believe it just happens at random?
4. "People can do anything, fly anything, go anywhere - so, they are free to make up large hordes, avoid fights, abandon entire fronts, and milkrun airfields" These ARE strategies.
Perhaps you could have given some thought that such particular strategy is what a lot of customers have been complaining about, and thus the
'absence of strategy or tactics' as mentioned earlier on might have obviously meant
'absence of strategy or tactics besides the only viable/visible horde strategy'? Does one really need to explain all of this stuff to be not called a 'liar'?
5. "The MA system remains as it was in AH1." wrong again , there have been multiple changes to the strat systems in AH.
Maybe I should have clarified,
"the basic MA format remains as it was in AH1 - as in, kill defenses, land capture vehicle, capture airfield, the end". Sound better now?
So your basic claim that nothing has been done to change with the times is utter complete BS or lies which ever you prefer. But if you really wish to set up false straw man arguments go a head and keep playing with yourself.
HiTech
Ah yes. The classic,
"you're BS, you're a liar, and you're wrong" punchline.
Call me whatever you want, but that doesn't really change the fact that a lot of once faithful customers are growing unhappy over how the MA is turning out, does it?
Gonna call me a liar on that, too? Oh wait, I think I know what's coming;
"People aren't unhappy, the MA is fine, most people just enjoy it, the one's who don't enjoy it are full of BS and are liars and morons, and they can just quit if they don't like it"But unfortunately, HT, the
"I grow tired of the MA.. it's no fun anymore" folks are gonna keep turning up - just like they've been turning up for the last few years. Seeing the ever increasing numbers of old-timers starting to feel that way, actually makes some of us worried about AH. So I don't really expect to see you stop insulting everyone you disagree to - I mean, that's one of your charms and all, but frankly it's not making anyone really feel safe about what's going on in the AH world.
You can call everyone who turns up with these opinions liars, but in the end, when there are a LOT of us 'liars' turning up with worried voices, it may hold some truth to it. I mean, why would anyone want to be a 'liar' about these stuff anyway? It's not as if us 'liars' are getting paid to somehow secretly undermine AH or something, not to mention, being called a 'liar' for making concerned inputs doesn't exactly make any one of us feel all fine and dandy. Not to mention one of these clashes in the BBS with you may even make any of us get PNGd in an awesome display of raw power.
So why risk all that to say something you might not agree on?
Maybe its because we love AH too?
