Herding Arenas !!!

He made a comment about something in the game that he would like changed. Your response was to say that he had a low IQ. I think that a person with a normal or higher  IQ would not have responded the way that you did to his comment. 

He made a comment insinuating he was entitled to something he isn't entitled to or did that go over your head? I'm guessing you think it's ok for someone to say "I've spend X number of dollars here, I served my country and I'm old so you should do what I want you to". That is what you're saying isn't it? I'm sorry to be the one to break this to you but, someone with as high of an IQ as I have or higher is intelligent enough to know the only place where that implied entitlement applies is in one's own home. Nowhere else.

I think the reason people dont join the game is the attitude of some the old timers who think they are helping HT.  somebody will ask a question and right away they are either idiots or noobs.  If they would only keep their mouth shut instead of insulting everybody that doesnt agree there would be more of us.  Arena caps is the reason I quit several times, and if there was another game almost as good as this one I would be gone in a second.  So lots of us put up with not the game but you people that have been around only because we really have no choice.

These reminds me some much of the AA old timers who would tell new comers to sit in the back and keep their mouth shut till they learned something, when It shouldda been the other way around.

If you're talking about length of time in AH, you have been here longer than I have. If you're talking age, the people with the attitude you describe are generally (with some exceptions) under 40 and do just as much trash talking in the arenas as they do in the forums. Of course there are a few old geezers who feel they are entitled to some special treatment by HTC and everyone else due to one lame reason or another.




The arena cap issue has been around for a long time. All it takes is for someone to present a viable alternative, or better solution than no arena caps for HTC to consider the possibility. Posting horse manure like "if you don't change it I'm taking my $15 elsewhere" or "because I served my country and have spent hundreds of dollars you should do what I want", will get the exact responses it deserves. If you don't agree with the type and manner of those responses, tough, I happen to be one of the many people who isn't bothered by the arena caps, ENY, radar settings or anything else that gets whined about in these forums on a regular basis by supposed adults.

Been an AH subscriber for just about 3 years or $540.00 worth. This makes me a paying customer. I am a 56 year old retired MSgt. which means I pay my own bills. I do not like the caps and I believe they should be done away with.

I've been paying for AH for a lot longer.  I paid for my son's account for a number of years too so I've spent much more on AH.    I really don't mind the caps so I think they should stay.

Doesn't my comment look just as silly as yours?

  I think they should take the caps key off of keyboards

its a shame that someone as smart as you didnt manage to learn some basic good manners along the way ...

Do you think that if enough people complain about a problem with the game that Aces High will take notice of all of the complaints showing up in the forums and at least look into the problem? I'm just curious.. Where would a player voice his complaint if not on Aces High forums? CAPS can be a pain at times when your trying to join your squad and cannot get in to the arena but it not usually a major problem. After a few tries, I manage to get in.  

If someone has a complaint they should take it strait to HTC. An email works, if not that a phone call. The boards are a public forum and anyone can post anything they like (with in the rules posted by HTC....it is their boards after all). Suggestions and requests and even complaints can be posted here but nobody should really expect anything to come of it but an occasional good discussion, or more likely a lot of flaming  

HTC people do read the boards, and I have seen changes and additions to the game that seem to have come from request/suggestions on the boards (tho they may have been working on these things before it was suggested).

But it's not a problem because you and your whole squad can go to the other arena.

Yes, it's a pain but there are alternatives.

First off does anyone on here remember what it was like when we was all in the same arena??????? The lagging, the framerate that would suddenly drop to 5-10, the  constant warping because there was so many objects in view, both planes and structures...... A whole lot of that went away when he came up with the two arenas if they was both populated, then in a few weeks everybody was just going to the same arena again and the same complaints started up,   abbra cadamra  arena caps in place.   Ya'll talk about how much you have paid well figure up 16.46 a month (because I pay sales tax) since aug 2001 when I went full time, my point being I had rather put up with the cap on the arena and the eny than go back to the constant frame rate loss, warping, and the associated whininng that come from it.

15 min warning then boot the arena. Problem solved.

Makes no sense, what about the 401st guy that wants to fly in with the 400/400 crowd? Now he is going to be in the same boat as all the rest of the cap whiners
because he can't get in to that arena to fly with his buds.

400 would be OK with me because it would rarely have even 400 in it... the chances of being the unlucky 401st would be near zero......

The unlucky 101st, however, all the time....

  I think Orange should always be big maps and Blue always small maps

+1 to this

[Sincraft]

completely agree. while subscriber #'s are down, get rid of arena cap. 

[Lusche]

completely agree. while subscriber #'s are down

Are they?

While I have noticed a certain declain in players online, and the (silly) "AH Activity Index" is considerably lower right now as it was a few years ago, I still wonder where you all get your information about subscriber numbers from...

[gyrene81]

completely agree. while subscriber #'s are down, get rid of arena cap. 

So you know exactly how many paying subscribers there are at any point in time? You must be sitting in the HTC offices quite a bit, but then you're not a staff member so how are you getting that information?

     Funny, I feel I get plenty for my 50 cents a day.  Plus you get to rant for free, what a bargain! 

Is your internet connection free?
