Since I have been elected President, I've been thinking about what to do. And I've come to the conclusion that, for it to have any meaning, it requires a majority of you fighters to agree with the policies in this virtual world of ours. We are kind of a vote-happy bunch, anyhow, so why not have a concensus agreement (after accompanying debate!) to present to Zup as opposed to inundating the poor guy with all our complaints and requests? Also, I know that there are certainly ongoing issues that are hotly contested. My point is that we have some crackerjack people here that should be heard in a more organized way, and then we need to have more muscle behind the agreed upon changes. Fair enough?

My first request, especially of the old-timers, is to list the top 3 issues you think need addressing in order of importance. Please respond on this thread with your reasons for those choices, but keep the diatribe to a minimum, please. Anyone who wants to is encouraged to respond to those postings. If we do this, together, we will have a better Dogfight, and better games. May the best opinion win!

Thank you

Hiya dunc, I think that's a great idea, but I only have 2 that really bugs me
Tank glitch on carrier.. why? Cuz whomever is invisible and u can't shoot em off they ruin a gg.
Tank spawn killing.. why? Well, do u guys wanna sit on runway only to push throttle up being shot by tank before u can move..? Noone does.
That's it for me, thank you,

I have four if that's ok
1 people who have been breaking rules need to be taken care of
2 tank spawn killing
3 invisible on carrier
4 this is more of a proposition but I really love the idea of having a story night where at night (eastern time) we take turns telling our life stories I know we've already done this but I want to make it an official thing as I love the stories

I want.....
1. Infinite ammo
2. Adamantium body for my plane(both sides)
3. Free beer

AD, As long as we all get it, why not? But this is a forum for more serious issues, my friend, not for whimsical humor, lol.

WELL FIRST I WOULD LIKE TO WELCOME OUR FIRST PRESIDENT. MR PRESIDENT DUNC HERE ARE SOME THINGS ON MY WISH LIST THAT I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THEM GO THROUGHT THE VOTING PROCESS AND CROSS MY FINGERS HOPELFULLY ZUP WILL ADD TO GAME IN FUTURE. OK HERE THEY ARE.

1. MORE AMMO WAS THINKING 1K BULLETS WOULD BE NICE FOR TOP TIER PLANES.
2. SUBSCRIBERS SHOULD GET AN EASIER WAY TO SWITCH SIDES WHEN REQUESTED LIKE A BUTTON DEDICATED TO THE JOB.

THATS IT FOR NOW IF I THINK OF MORE ILL POST AGAIN.

Hey Mr. President. How about a way to see folks in the world rank who are around you, not just the top 50 or 100. Some folks might like to know who their closest competition is.

Mr. DF President,

1. I'd like to choose which plane I fly in a game.
2. Can my plane be given a seat warmer--bit chilly in those snowy games.
3. Get rid of the split squads and make it one BIG squad again. That was a lot more fun!

Respectfully,

DireWolf

I would like some bacon. Like, GOOD, bacon. Not that cheap, thin crap. Really good, thick sliced, applewood smoked bacon.

Thank you for your time.

Now that the humor is out of the way, Husky, how about you telling us what you think the top 3 issues are? I think you would have some insights worth hearing, knowing you as I do, brother wolf! Owwwwwooooooooohhhhhhhh!

No, serious. I'm looking in my fridge and there's no bacon. This is an issue.

HuskyDog, check out Baconme.Com, join the Bacon of the Month Club (I did)

Guys this is a serious thread cmon!

Wait, there was an election? I would've trumped that one! (<= or is that a too soon joke (I'm Dutch so idk the stance of everyone in the U.S. towards him exactly))
Well dunc, gratz on the presidentship, see you in the next election

My list:
1. THE LAGG!!!! <= with the highest priority, deal with it before everything!
2. Glitches such as the tank shell that hits & doesn't kill
3. Choice of game, like I'm sometimes in a dogfighting mood, then I have to sit out a 30 minute bombing campaign and hope next game isn't a bombing match...

Well that's it for now I guess, will get back at this later

I really am confused.com right now

But Game crashes need to stop. Point and Kill locks should stop. Lagg I will Just smoke that away

And You are gonna need Security I call Head of Security as I Know so much about protecting the package.

Well I have some tasty Prosciutto. Much better than those Beggin Strips you may be used to.BACON!!!!!

Hello, Mr.President,
You know me well, most of the rest of you know me, know how much I love this game. So far as glitches and lag goes, I'm sure if Zup could have eliminated these hassles, he would have by now. He knows the problems, he probably doesn't need us to hassle him. And what do we do about the unsportsmanlike pilots that take advantage of the glitches, like the ass that burned our last hangar yesterday, while he was invisible, and he knew it, or the team killer from the same game? How do we punish the cheater, and how do we prove it happened? Somebody with a grudge may file a false report, just to cause someone grief. Dealing with the cheats is something the chivalrous and sportsmanlike pilots have always had to suffer through, it's part of the game (and it is only a game). My hat's off to Zup for creating this game that we all enjoy so much.
It's not important, but why is there 3 German MORAF airplanes and only 1 Allied MORAF airplane? Be nice to see a special SE5 or Spad or Nieuport, and I love my DVII, how about a MORAF Fokker DVII? And maybe some 2-engine bombers, Gothas and Handley-Pages, to defend against?

Im in favor of some new rules
1. You must refer to me as The Awesome Prussia
2. When you say awesome it actually means Prussia
3. When you say Prussia it actually means awesome
4. Anything related to the awesome Prussia must have at least four awesomes in each individual sentence
5. War Birds at all times must be referred to as "that awesome as Prussia squadron"
Thankyou for your time Mr.President

Ok! Mr. President Of DF, here are my 3 things...

1. Glitches got to go(due to invisible pilot)
2. No camping
3. Make strippers in hangars so DarkRain248 can go wild!!

One easy and quick fix that all squad member would support...lifting the members cap on the squads. Right now, many squads are broken up and it diminishes player experience. Being in a squad makes the game more appealing and keeps people paying money to upgrade servers.

Allow the squads to have at least 150 slots!

Okay, everyone, here is a summary of the serious problem areas according to you all:

1- lag
2- spawn-killing
3- camping
4- rule-breakers/unsportsmanlike conduct
5- more ammo for planes
6- more planes to choose from
7- want to choose any plane any time
8- want to be able to switch sides more effectively
9- want to be able to choose game
10- increase squad size
11- allow squads to play each other again
12- want way to see who is what rank at any level, rather than just top 50
13- fix any problems with ammo failures (re: tank shells, etc)

Other than the humorous ones about bacon, seat warmers for high altitude, beautiful women in the hangars, and the like, it was a good turnout of suggested problem areas. Than you to you all for taking the time to answer!

The world of Dogfight is like the Old West in the US. Everyone's toting guns and usually aren't afraid to use them! In fact, the best are gunslingers and they rule the roost. MORAFs fall into this category. Personally, I think being a MORAF carries with it the responsibility to enforce the rules as well as to set the highest example, like unto being a member of King Arthur's knights of the Round Table. Chivalry and strict adherence to a code of ethics are required. However, I will admit that there are some MORAFS who obviously don't agree with me, and they can be counted among the worst offenders. Their example is copied by the noobs very quickly, and it takes a concerted effort on everyone's part to change their behavior. The bad ones usually go away if enough people despise them.

Just recently, an Aspirant named Escaramango ruined several games I was in by team-killing, bombing his own hangars, flying without bombs to other base to camp and spawn-kill. Didn't listen to reason or threats of reprisal. Only thing that got through was when I had finally had enough and killed him. A couple others did the same, and he eventually left, only to show up in another game and repeat the same cycle of behavior all over again. This morning, who shows up in a good game but good old Escaramango! I immediately warned everybody what he was, but they didn't believe me, even after he bombed his own hangar. SwopCaml, in particular, insisted that it was just a mistake. Of course, it wasn't, and Escaramango proved me right once again.

The point here is that we do need a better way to effectively police this behavior with more than words. What do YOU say on this particular subject? Do you think empowering certain members of our MORAF Club would be a good thing? I do, after Escaramango and all the others like him I've seen before.

I say NO to anything that makes the game easier...who wants to play an easy game!!! Just leave the game alone and learn to adapt , if everything was perfect nobody would play cos it would be boring.

Thankyou for your time Mr.President

Sorry to inform you but Prussia no longer exists. It was abolished in 1947 and had stopped being an independent state in 1871. So all this talk of "awesome " Prussia is a bit nonsensical .
