"Testing," I love it. This tune, this tweak, this slight adjustment is more like, "There is nothing wrong with your video game. Do not attempt to adjust the picture. We are controlling transmission. If we wish to make it louder, we will bring up the volume. If we wish to make it softer, we will tune it to a whisper. We will control the horizontal. We will control the vertical. We will control the suckiness. You are now flying the Outer Limits."
People are quitting in droves. There is another massive drop in attendance, which is somewhat offset by all the new subs. I am guessing this "test" is to see if the new accounts linger.
For me, that is the biggest loss, that I haven't seen mentioned yet one time in this self supplicating thread is: community. I like you guys. I know I seem like an bellybutton but that is my game identity, it's my role. I know everyone, I know how they play, friend and foe and it's a lifestyle. It's not some random people-as-video-drones Angry Birds shoot up, it's "The Arena." I look forward after a sucky day, to working off some steam with my friends.
This full dar thing is not what I was sold on. I like to think of myself as a tactician and AH provided me an opportunity to exercise those skills. Now, no bombers fly. If they are, they are probably 234's.
I can tell you the solution, if you insist on this moth-to-flame full dar; give my T34 radar guided twin 50's, so I have a reasonable chance of defending myself and give the storch little precision bombs so he at least has something to do - but the thing is, what we have right now isn't what we were sold, not by a long shot and what it says to me is that HT is willing to ditch this community, in order to fill the subs with Angry Birds. The community is what has kept the lights on, in between these attempts to cannibalize the potential that AH once promised. It may be time to part ways.
