HTC give us the choice!!!!!!

[Baumer]

Why do you auto assume it's beacause of facing a fight? Less NOE mission mean less escort duty for me... Less escort duty equals less fights... Fighting the uppers is the best bit..

Can you please explain why you are not running NOE missions?
or
Can you offer any other explanation as to why the group or groups you escorted are not running NOE missions?

I can't see any other plausible explanation other than an unwillingness to face the potential for a stronger defense. So please enlighten me with a direct response so I can understand better.

Will withdrawing my monthly subscription suffice?

That will show him huh?

[Masherbrum]

Can you show your work on this theorem.

HiTech

He's backpedaling Dale.   His Squad is one of three Rook Squads who in the past would bring 6+ NOE Lanc Missions to a field.   Once uppers start to get the slightest advantage, they bail and move to another quiet part of the map and start again.  They can no longer pad their scores with trivial amounts of undefended bases.   Since the change I have yet to see an NOE capture happen when I'm on (against Knights).

How old are you?   Really, you tap dance around the truth and cannot even give a plausible response to this games Creator?

Now that's a mature response if I ever saw one.

Not vulching, turn fighting inbvetween base and town 

Ah.  I guess that's not a strictly according-to-Hoyle vulc- er... enemy activity suppression.

Thought i'd fight fire with fire.

[RufusLeaking]

Yeah i kinda worded that bit wrong... edited, so you can pick-pick more...

(I hate this "community", should take my money else where. )

Lighten up, Francis.

Ack-Ack is NOT the community.  You and I rate the same right to speak our opinions, within Forum rules.

Should I be insulted that you lumped me in with AH's leading contrarian?  Or should Ack-Ack be insulted?

Normally, I dont name names, but, with 15,000+ posts, Ack-Ack is an institution.

Sincerely, get on with the game as there is still a lot of fun to be had.  The Forums are not the game.

It seemed to me that Hitech asked you a legitimate question and you responded rather immaturely.

I can understand how you can feel on the defensive in this discussion, but it really is in your best interest to respond maturely. If you can answer questions directly and provide real alternatives to your problem you have a much better chance of HTC listening to you. I have had several discussions with Hitech and others at HTC and they have always been willing to listen, as long as I presented my self well. Threatening to take your ball and go home isn't likely to work well.

Last few days I've seen many NOE's. Wow I see them 2 mins out oh my! Still can't stop those 20 plus plane missions. Well maybe if they put a noob in the goon, and run out of fuel. Vulching the field augering into buildings and kill shooting themselves. How low can you go!

[groundfeeder]

So you are being "punished" since they made a change to the game that allows others a little more time to defend a target. What % of players should just sit and wait in the tower, trying to find the next incoming NOE raid? In my experience (both flying in, and against them) most of the well organized NOE raids could go from base flash, to base capture, within 7-9 minutes. That did not allow much time for any real defense even if someone tried to defend it.

As Hitech stated, prior to these changes he felt that the old settings promoted an "offensive only" environment when it came to win the war, land grabbing. Now it will hopefully be more balanced with more opportunity to defend attacks is all. This does not stop anyone from focusing on capturing bases, it just means it may be harder to do in the future is all.

All HTC is trying to do is create a balanced environment where ALL forms of aerial combat and tactics can be used.

It seems to me that the gv'ers are quite content to sit sometimes, what appears to be forever, to camp a spawn does this "promote combat" NO IT DOSENT!  and if ALL forms of aerial combat can be used explain why you basically took away overland noe? NO! realistically it cant be done with any measure of efficacy.
Making a change for the better does not mean making it so your options are so limited. bombing isnt what it used to be unless you want to spend 25 min to climb to alt. I know you dont want to admit it but the game has LOST something. could the NOE have been adjusted...yes., BUT you went to far to "correct a problem"

Flight17 was upset last week because I shot down his goon that was landed on the beach about 10 miles North of A25 on the dweeb island map.   I find the "NOE Noobs" really have lacking skills in most areas.   I'd even be willing to personally assist some of them in the DA or TA, if only to improve their well-being.   But, they go with what they know and what they know has come crashing down.

for some reason my response to the htc's  post....did'nt post ill have to get back to it

Also, when you quote someone, try to post your stuff AFTER the [/quote] portion.   It won't get lost in the shuffle per se.

[Baumer]

Groundfeeder it's a little confusing that you put your response inside my previous post. Can you edit the post so that you're response is either highlighted or outside of my quoted statements?

Thank you

Guys...Glen is whooped...its obvious that he can't vocalize his frustration because it driven directly from the pride obtained from the NOE successes of his past.  Those future successes will now be dependent on his skill in fighting because of a greater chance of detection.   Asking him to give you an honest answer is the same as asking an addict to admit he has a problem (that is an analogy, not a statement of fact or accusation) because it isn't going to happen.

Now, lets all kill this thread, allow Glen to get better at the game and allow him the opportunity go out there and kill us all fairly and squarely while being detected earlier on DAR...Glen, come get me...I am at a specific altitude, moving in a specific direction and I am a red dot.  Go get um tiger.
