I would pay more $$ to be made immune to ENY effects. I am ok with the increased ENY perk penalty.
I just want to be able to fly the right tool for the job. And I will pay extra $$ to do so.
When can this happen?
personally I think the $15 bucks is barely worth the game even with NMY turned off. I think if I had to pay extra just to get by NMY I would simply give up on this game and move on to something else, which adds to the biggest problem facing this game ... low player and subscriber count.
I pay $15 bucks a month mostly to fly with my friends and to fly Corsairs and that's about it.
Most of the few friends I have left that plays this game pretty much only fly in FSO and maybe hit the MA right after FSO and that's about it.
I use the bowling doctrine to justify the expense. I get about as much dollar for dollar fun playing aces high as I do league bowling for which I pay about $20 a month. However thanks to Covid most bowling leagues are going to be down at least until spring 2021.
I've been playing AH since beta the longest break I took from this game was when I left in 2012 for another game and the fact NMY was a real PITA even back then when we actually had some numbers.
NMY is still pretty much putting a damper on the corsair flying as of late, and no matter how much we whine beach and groan we can't get HT to do damn thing about it. It's been a problem for over decade and it's till here and he still doesn't care. We do not have the proper tools to rebalance the arena other than logging out.
We can't just switch sides because the NMY can and does sometimes follows us to the new country and once NMY stabilizes you have to wait to change back ... so if squads or buddies show up they either need to switch sides to your new country or you're just SOL. In 2011 the Country Change Cap was 12 hours I believe it currently 6 or 2 hours when it should be less than 30 minutes if it's on at all. However we are still limited to long waits between country swaps ...... The reason given was the same reason we lost cross country coms .... spies.
No really! here we are in a freaking Dying video game we pay $15 bucks a month for and people are worried about spies, And the joke about that is everything done in the game to stop spying is easily bypassed by simply taking it out of the game.
Cross country coms gone .... No problem just use mumble skype ventrillo teamspeak facebook messenger zoom .....
You really want to put the spying BS to rest How about this ....
Make a publicly viewable Facebook group called "Aces High Spy vs Spy" and dump screen caps of the map and strat info on it as well as mission updates. Want to know where the enemy carrier groups are go check facebook.
How much do mature paying customers have to suffer because the community as a whole has to act like 8 year olds and can't seem to grow the Heck up?!
I figure as soon as Covid is under control I'm probably going to go back to bowling as I don't have NMY values forcing me to use my Columbia U dot over my Storm Fire on med to dry lanes, and honestly there is even less here now to keep me in the game then their was in 2011 .... most of the player base is gone now.
Even if this game truly is the spiritual successor to Air Warrior it does not need to die like Air Warrior did.
