New Graphics = No Money from me!

[uptown]

After doing tech support about a week at CH, I quickly developed the theory that all PCs should come with a required IQ test that you have to take and pass before the computer could be switched on.  Sadly, if my dream was ever implemented at the time I would have quickly found myself out of a job as no one would have called for support.


ack-ack

  that's funny right there 

[Karnak]

You and the few people that remain can enjoy the upgrade :-D

-Ben

If by "few" you mean "more than 90%", sure.

[MORAY37]

"Few people" 

I dunno.  200 in orange at 11:30 Pm (EST) 155 in Blue....on a Saturday.  Historically, Sat night had 400 in each, or Blue had 400 and orange was around 320.  That appears to be a drop-off of 50% the week of a major overhaul....  If I was HT I'd start to get a bit worried in a few weeks if that happens regular- like.

Flame me if you like.... that's just the truth of when I logged on.

Im deealing with it, Middle of road system, but I do keep it clean. Would suggest that first.
Heres my DX

Hard to leave, isn't it?

Scenario was today.

[OOZ662]

That's over eight hours after the Scenario started, though. Unless it just wears everyone out. Even then, Scenario attendance was extremely low. Alpha was half-staffed.

[PK1Mw]

Lot of people who fly scenarios don't fly in MA afterward.

Even IF the numbers were down tonight. Doesn't mean people have Cx'd their accounts. Only true way to tell though would be from HTC, which will never be discussed. Bottom line is people come and go, regardless of the reason. This update is minimal compared to the AH2 release, and since then rumor is there's a LOT more people in the game.

You can't please everyone, we all know this, and HTC does what they can, which for some people just isn't enough it seems. At this point people have 3 options. Play with what they got, upgrade, or quit. Whatever the decision is, make it, and stop complaining about it. Threatening to "cancel my account" will definitely get you no where; fast.

[Ghosth]

Time marches on, sorry but that is a fact.  In order to stay alive and viable, a company must move forward.
If that leaves some behind who are unable or unwilling to keep up, that is regretted.

But what is static is dead, AH is alive, and constantly growing, evolving, changing.

You want static, try Warbirds, Air Warrior, or Targetware.

[PK1Mw]

Was it worth fixing something that wasn't broken?

-Ben

Can't wait til Skuzzy locks your 6 outta these forums

For some folks, whining is life's only purpose.

[batch]

and dont forget those who whine about the whiners, hard to say which is more annoying

although here I am whining about the whiners who whine about whining

[warhed]

TMZ.com reported seeing Dale Addink and Crew at the Kaanapali Beach Hotel in Maui lounging on the beach having drinks this weekend.  They were overheard laughing hysterically and going on about "Suckers..."
