Yeah, it really sounds like you don't care  :rolleyes:

calling it out..... is far different then caring.... :aok

the only reason I even ask is because I do care about being able to play the way I want to play....


I like to switch to the side getting ganged....which is not always the low numbered side....

I am not loyal to any silly chess piece.....I am loyal to the fight :aok


the 12 hr rule ruins my game play.... :aok

I have never seen them "rush" anything. Compared to other games their updates have always been well written and any problems fixed promptly. The game itself is probably the smoothest running game software Ive ever seen. Got a problem with it? Pick up a phone or have a question answered promptly here, usually in a matter of minutes. You cant imagine how hard that is to find in the gaming environment nowadays.

Honestly i cant predict what will happen but I think the graphics update is a very good thing. I come and go, what brings me back is the flight model and the competition. Also its an older crowd and old guys like me like a slower paced game. Oh there is fast intense action in AH, at least during prime times, but frankly I kinda like relaxing as my bombers climb after a long day at work.

Agreed, that is what makes HTC unique in a great way. They actually show they care about the content they release because of the time and effort they put into it. Making sure there are little to no bugs, rather than patch on patch on patch.  I think these boards though show the lack of patience and understanding by many players (not all of them) for all the time, effort and technical-stuffs that happens behind the scenes.

If we have something to show we will & do post shots, if we have nothing new to show we don't.

I have yet to see anyone post a good reason for having the limit set at 12 hours.

It does.  Now I hang onto my side switch until it is desperately needed to find engagements.  If I am on the numbers side and it is 4:1 I am not switching any more.  That way, when the arena crashes at 2 am, I do not wind up stuck on the side with all the players who are actually AFTER A FIGHT.   Got burned once too often now...

No one produced any reasons in any threads except conspiranoia about "spiez". Bah, if your play can theoretically be ruined by "spiez" then your style of play is probably lame.

at the very least, your style of play is to avoid combat. 

the only spyable things I can think of in game are hiding cv's and NOE missions.

Which is precisely what the point hoarders and perk farmers do in off peak.   Yet that's not gaming the game.  Riiiiight.....

hitech produced the reason why we have a 12 hour switch time a year or two ago.  but those who want to switch it always claim that it was due to spiez.  you also blame some of us for it being a 12 hour switch time.  we have as much input in it being 12 and you guys have it in getting it swtiched to 1.  the person in charge is hitech.  he's the one you should be talking to.  not the dozens of threads that pop up a year from the same 10 guys who seem to talk for "most of the players".

me I think you guys are making a big mistake by asking for a 1 hr switch time.  I switched at will many times when it was one hour as most of my play time as at night due to work.  1/2 the time the country I had left had better fights that the one I went into.  and the fights would switch from country to country faster than you could follow them.

also the players who actually wanted to fight instead of doing "milk runs" in either buffs or gv's was 1/2 the population at that time.  if you guys really card "about the fight" you would ask other playres to join you in the da or any other arena that is empty and fight each other until you get bored.  we did it back then, not sure why you guys  cant do it now.

So the DA is now the "Main" Arena?   Hmmm.  They need to rename it then.
