This sums up perfectly the problem with ATAG



What the hell is dynamic about the same vulchers looking for easy pickens around Hawkinge? You need to look up "dynamic" in the dictionary Bliss.

Actually, if you read Aborted mans whole post it sums up why ATAG is more or less rediculous. We all know you are dead set against co-ops Bliss, I'm guessing you are a former quake player and like the predictability of what happens on the ATAG server?

You've nailed it perfectly.

If I only had one wish, it would be those that seem to know how to do it "right" and create a non-r"e"diculous server would stop being so shy and come out and do it. Watching the people that truly know how to do this sort of thing, just sitting in the back ground with such a vast knowledge of mission building and how to do it right, without stepping up to the plate is frustrating. I hope for the day when the loudest voices - the obvious one's that really know how to build those perfect missions come out and show us people with 1000's of hours building missions how it's done right.

Please please show us the way. Obviously the ATAG server is complete garbage and so are the missions.

Sincerely,

A dedicated airquake, non-historic, garbage server owner that doesn't know anything.

Thanks.

What's with al this crybabies taking shots at ATAG like tey owe you something?
Aren't you fools forgeting that, without the guys from ATAG, tying so hard to keep a solid server runing great, while the game was close to garbage, this game would have been dead vor a long time. At least the online part of it.
ATAG server, and the people working hard to keep it runing , with the endless stream of bugs, from patch to patch, is in large part the reason you have an online community still active.

Vulching is part of the air wars, and it is part of the game. Get used to it. Front line bases were always visited by enemy planes. The Russian airforce was basically raped on the ground at the begining of the war. The il2's were constantly attacking enemy airfields troughout the war.
After ten minutes of warm up and 20 minutes flight in a bomber, when I get close to the enemy targets, if I have escorting fighters, I'll always ask them to try to suppress the airfield close to the target until we get the bombs out. That means shooting at anyone that even thinks about taking a plane up to interfere with our mission.
On ATAG there are plenty of bases away from the action, to take off without any danger.
I thought this was common sense by now, after so many years of online playing.
No matter what flying online game you play, it's always been this way.

I suppose that if the enjoyment of your simming experience reduces itself to vulching, then you really got into the wrong genre.

Sure, it's a laugh every now and then, but if it becomes a habit, then it's only a counterproductive attitude that will push people away. Where's the fun in that anyway? There's no fair measure in a dogfight or by using a better tactic, it's just coming down on someone who's in the most vulnerable position and maybe struggled all the way back after a mission and is looking forward to a good landing..

I refrain from joining servers that allow vulching, simply because you know it's gonna end up in a puerile airquake..

Only add some flak ....

Damaged enemy aircraft over the air base is always priceless... B)

The only reason I'm being critical Bliss is because you were so vocal against a more intuitive co-op gui. You stated you "hate" co-op style of play, and therefore would like to "pigeon-hole" everyone to your style of play. So it's pretty clear you will never have that sort of thing on your server and that's fine since it's yours. But trying to stifle a legitiment style of play and a requested feature because you hate co-op, isn't helping the sim expand to online squads that have been waiting for this.

The argument isn't about "I'm being vulched, this sucks!"

Vulching negates an entire mission by attracting lesser attentive players to one area. One single small area...which in turn ruins combat for the strategy-minded players because a server with 40+, hell, even 10+, should be chock-full of fighter formations roaming about the map and completing objectives (that you as a mission builder worked so hard on) is now a desolate and barren wasteland of blue.

You naysayers can't deny the negative effect on gameplay a majority of a team hovering around a single base has, whether it's a "valid" style of gameplay or not, it's detrimental to the majority. Spawning at another base to get away from the threat while taking off doesn't fix anything, because EVERYONE needs to do it, but that will never happen...stop dreaming that it will. Yes, you and I see the solution, but the major public does not, and never will. Besides, they'll spawn at the other base and head straight to the vulched base. Happens every time.
