The game play lately sucks!

If your one of those that say suck it up...or quit...your borderline retarded.

Not retarded at all. Just making the point that no one has a gun pointed to anyone's head making them stay. As for the insult you made about my intelligence that is part of my point!. You could have just as easily stated that you disagreed yet you had to insult me. I find that childish in the least. Truth be told you actually are part of what drives folks away. Then again it is a free country, and you are allowed to show that you have the intelligence of a wad of bellybutton lint. So as we see stupid insults only escalate and do nothing for the game nor the community. Trolling for your entertainment while seemingly amusing to you, is not the way to attract new players and keep them. Then again what do I know because I am retarded??

Hmm if the majority of players don't like something and the only answer to fix it is to suck it up or quit, that doesn't seem like a very smart business decision for HT lol.

Perhaps there aren't enough complainers or do people really just quit without complaining when nothing changes. Questions... JF Sebastian... where can I find him?

There is no reason to eliminate Channel 200, if you don't like the channel don't tune to it.  That's why the global chat channel was moved to Channel 200, so those that want to take part in the open chat can tune to the channel.

I think that's the issue tho. Many people would like to talk cross country and get to know the rest of the community,  but then you have all those A holes causing problems with bullying and such.

Keeping 200 is good for the community,  keeping it clean and monitored even better.

Your answer was a "Shut up and color". This may be a personality flaw of mine but if something is wrong, I speak up, and keep speaking up about it (It doesn't matter who you are, told privates their wrong and I wouldn't be afraid to tell a General he's wrong). So when every HQ thread comes along I jump in and offer my 2 cents, that it is flawed....in hopes that the same mistake isn't repeated in Aces High 3, most of us have figured out that HTC isn't going to change Aces High 2...but if we identify problems with Aces High 2, maybe they will fix them in Aces High 3(like the 12 hour rule or HQ). "The first step to solving any problem is to identify the problem"

This is why saying suck it up or quit is retarded(you can replace retarded with stupid if your looking for a different word).....is your suggesting killing your fun as well. Unless you truly like fighting against buildings and auto guns (more power to you) then what your saying will kill the game, slowly it will die and people will get tired of killing auto guns. There is no legit reason to say a "shut up and color", with asking for HQ to be hardened at least HTC will know to make that as a fix in AH3. Your literally telling people to shut up and quit....come on man think about it.

I never had a problem with 200. Ive almost never used it or paid attention to it.

I get a kick out of those who say they have never tuned it yet still call for it to be abolished. Explain that one to me?

Its mostly harmless fun and watermelon chat. Its about 99 out of 100 why new players arent kept.

[Guppy35]

What I'd suggest is those calling for the abolishing of 200 are the ones who need to step back and take a look at why they play the GAME.  200 at it's best is where folks from all sides get to talk and share the wealth so to speak.

Going back to my Airwarrior days, it was talking to the guys I was fighting against that lead to a lot of friendships and ultimately a new squad.  There wasn't this silly notion that the guys flying for the other side were bad guys, just opponents to fly and fight against.

All the people who take this game so seriously that they worry about spies, people giving things away on 200 or who knows what else, need to relax and remember this is and will remain a game.

No one really dies, the cartoon airplanes are free.  Enjoy the cartoon combat, get to know folks, maybe share a little WW2 history and get over thinking you are ever going to win the war, as there is no war, and the game goes on forever.

We talk about the AH Community all the time around here.  Building it and adding to it takes interacting, not closing things off and hiding within individual countries or squads.

Reasons I still play aces high ever since air warrior died; the actual realism of the flight models and bullet ballistics, the actual challenge of mastering the game, it's not easy. 
  If there was a better online ww2 combat simulator out there, we'd all already be playing and aces high would be dead. 
      As for getting better gameplay;  try switching countries.  Don't be tied down.  Sometimes it's really fun to be a bish and conquer all.  Sometimes it's awesome to be a knight and bust bish missions and rack up perk points galore.  Sometimes it's awesome to be a rook and fly with your dad, who plays the game.  Or be a rook and fly an awesome et37 bomber mission. 
       Also, don't hesitate to change your name, that's always fun.  It's fun trying to get those perks saved up to fly a b29 or 262. 
          There's plenty of stuff to do to keep it interesting and mess with people's head all at the same time.

Well said.  Except the spy part.. that's just cheesy.

What 200 needs is a permanent squelch list. I don't get why this is so hard to implement.

Goodness Sakes! I didn't mean to get a up roar started! I think the post by Seano pretty much says it all and I agree with you sir, about the squelching of players. Maybe that is the answer! I do intend to start listening on 200, just to see what all the excitement is about and I can and will squelch someone who is using abusive language or just being an "bully".
I think what a lot of people tend to forget is, there are some very young people on here and I think it is highly disrespectful of an adult to use some of the language that I hear sometimes on regular VOX chann's. I guess I am just to old fashioned for the modern young guys who think that kind of language impresses people. It doesn't impress me and I doubt that it impresses anyone else.

This is true.  You would basically be able to fine tune your 200 channel,  one door knob at a time.

Don't squelch bullying, report it!

The other thing, is it isn't the adults that are using that "language" its the kids! teens through the 20's (I know most 20+ THINK there adults, but they are not and will understand when they get older). They think it makes them "cool", "hip" or what ever word they use these days. All it does is make them look immature, but they will learn that too when they get older.

200 can be fun, just learn to spell SQUELCH
