I feel you Brother. Tried Elite a few times, even the practice missions. The controls are too far off for me. No big secret I'm far from your caliber of Pilot. Not ready to give up on this Community. Maybe the game will come around eventually. Enjoyed the many times we squared off, really enjoyed being there when you made MORAF. Save me a seat at the bar Brother!

DF Elite is different and aiming is altogether needs a fresh start. Still trying to adapt. Boaz and Sky Ripper stay if possible, play in between and as Skyripper mentioned keep in touch via forum. Seniors are very much required in community. Hope Davy too visit forum and share his views.

When things are running smoothly and you get games with the same friends from df1 it is just as much fun as ever. Stick with it and you can adapt to the new tactics that it take to win.

The people that hate DFE are the same people that learned df1, and they can learn DFE just the same. They didn't start out as great players, they learned how to play great. They can learn again with the new additions, unless they aren't up for a challenge.

Exactly, well said!!

Not all the people that are not playing elite are having issues with learning the new system. The game simply doesn't work well for some of us. I am choosing to stay away from the game as well, but not the community like Skyripper said. In the limited amount of time I have been able to play the bullet drop and aiming seems to be manageable. Its the loss of connection and the weird glitches and bugs that is the major deterrent. One can never be a great player, learned or naturally, unless you are able to play and more importantly, want to play.

Maybe the challenge I am not up for at this time is the patience challenge... and im too old to learn that new trick.

sir BOAZ, I have watched you grow into one of the deadliest in this game. It is a sad day, but I feel your frustration. I have been playing less then usual also. I have tried Elite about 6 times, and will give it another shot once I have the time. Only then will I be able to make a call on staying or just becoming another troll hanging around the forum, telling lies and aggravating people. It must be entertaining, so many are doing it.

Hate to see you go Boaz. Maybe the game will change again and everyone will come back! Keep in touch

DF1 was a winning formula easy to pick up and play .DFE seems much harder and i see so many of the old guard quitting or at least saying they are as they get so frustrated i know some of those quitting are addicts that have been subscribing for years and now are talking with their wallets and i hope zup gets more subscribers to replace them .i have invested much time in DF yes i say invested (i did my time as a bullet magnet/lead collector) i was once the worst player out there too.The good part of this game is here its the community people like Boaz taking time to help you along the valley of death helping you inch closer and closer to the target till you finally get there for your first hangar! and everyone encourages you gj! gj! and the encouragement presses you on to be better and better and 6500 hangars later im still craving for that next hangar.The game has changed and im not liking it much but ive been to the game store tried many of the air combat games there and this is the best so its adapt or quit. not ready to call it a day yet but Boaz and all you who have decided to call it a day THANKYOU FOR BEING PART OF DF

Unfortunately your not seeing the big picture .not everyone has a device that can run dfe .so most of the people that once formed df are now left standing out in the cold .we feel cheated.forgotten.and not even though of by zup .zup made dfe fully knowing that it would eliminate lots of players.and then takes df off line so we can't even have that ..

If I could actually play dfe I probably would but my device just can't do it.so stop and think before you say just learn.it .many would but can't .

Besides dfe is more like an arcade game now rather than a war game .

Adios BOAZ! It was always a pleasure. If I catch you in Elite, I promise to take it easy on you until you get your bearings (keep in mind I suck at it too!)

I don't mind the bullet drop and other stuff. My biggest problem is the control. The single tilt choice is way too slow and the toggle has no sensativity setting, near impossible to keep the plane steady. Thought buying a new tablet would have me ready for the switch, but apparently not.

Working tons of OT right now and time to play or practice is hard to come by. Would rather spend that time doing something enjoyable rather than being aggravated and frustrated. I'll keep an eye on how things progress. Hopefully things will smooth out over time.

Four years ago df was hard, required you to actually use physics to fly the plane. Using altitude, dive gain airspeed and fight. Every aspect was more difficult than what you have now, an equal arcade shooter. Sure there were the squad tag with a ranking insignia above your plane, but a red box that says shoot here. Kinda like having the trees that we could turn on or off like the clouds.

But let's get beyond those changes and point out continuous issues that plague a lot of people. Connection, loss, glitches, some seem to have more advantage than others and this has been experienced across all platforms. Empty promises of better game servers or at least servers that can handle the game and it's players with minimal lag. Constantly waiting on Apple updates. Jeez man by the time they catch up, the rest of the field of devices are 2 light years ahead.

Frustration is there, but not because most got the simple shooter game they all wanted. Frustration is there when one paid and can't play. Patiently waited for fix upon fix upon fix only to be met with another fix that created another fix. Let's be honest, it will never be perfect, it will always have issues and there may or may not be a reasonable solution or excuse.

Some like myself are tired of connection loss, great wifi by the way I have. Tired of glitches and waiting on glitches to no longer be glitches. Tired of all the issues that are still issues and tired of some ASSuming it's because dfe is harder. Suck it up get used to it, adapt.

Still waiting on squad wars?

Have you ever had a favorite game as a kid or adult that you played all the time and eventually just tired of? That's where I'm at that's why I'm putting it back in the stack. It's not necessaraly because of the technical problems with the game or the aiming. I have no problem taking on a new challenge but how many times can you save the princess before you get bored?

Boaz , brother you were one of the many Misfit brothers that I have known since I joined this squad . Will be sure to stay in touch mate as we got to know each other outside the squad . If you think you can avoid me .....dont even try ... Wanna sit with an ale and try some a that maple juice you been bragging about for so long . Going to miss you brother . Cheers CC Rider . Your pal forever .

Wait a minute...there's a princess that can be saved???

What the hell man! I suppose I'd find that out if I didn't keep freezing up, losing connection, or wasn't being out turned by a DH2 while in my Siemens Shuckert...Guess I am just not up for a challenge...Oh yeah i forgot to mention the 85 year old lady with a walker who passed by my tank on the way to the reds base..tried shooting her for that but aim is all messed up...no wait, the shell couldn't travel far enough...

And I can't find the tanks in the trees...hey how 'bout a red box or something so I can find them?

brilliant idea

maldita sea os estáis dando por vencido demasiado pronto,eso no me gusta
boaz mucho tiempo y muchos hermanos y amigos
aquí,no os rindais,al elite te tienes que
adaptar para jugarlo mejor,es más difícil pero
da más puntos.Ya veras que si juegas algunos días seguidos se mejora mucho.

damn, you are giving up too soon, that I do not like 
boaz long time and many brothers and friends
Here, you do not rindais, the elite you have to
adapt to play it better, it is more difficult but
It gives more puntos.Ya see that if you play a few days in a row is much improved.
