factories

[davidwales]

as someone has brought this topic up before , i would like to suggest that it reconsidered , if factories are in the game for production then shouldnt the destruction effect eny , for example i see htc has brought up bot which advances factories forward or retreats them , if factories were destroyed and eny for that side  increases do you think that would be more fun , i understand eny has to be in place for player numbers in each side but i think that structure should be changed to skill and rank rather than numbers making it fair all round

You know the funny thing.  The people most likely to get suspended are the ones who are responding in a derogatory manner.

Nothing says you have to respond.  Consider that a heads up.

I've often thought that there should be more associated with the attack roll, convoys (both land and sea), train depots, all sorts of fun stuff.  I don't think ENY would be the way to go however.

I think ENY should remain a balancing tool, and not be able to be manipulated by other player's actions.

In fact, if someone raised ENY by bombing a factory, it would probably cause people to switch sides, lowering the player numbers for the afflicted country on top of the raised ENY, so it'd be a double-whammy.  In this case, the purpose of ENY would be completely ruined.

nope.

Skill is learned and has nothing to do with arena balance.

Rank is easily manipulated, has very little to do with skill, and thus should have no effect on ENY or arena balancing.

ENY is (and should be) based on overall arena numbers, to encourage people to either switch sides to even numbers or fly less capable planes to try to make up for superior numbers of people. In reality, ENY doesn't quite create the result it was intended to, but it's what seems the most fair way to accomplish it.

"WTF!?"

Then I saw this...

  Oh man....I almost passed out laughing.


As for this idea, I will have to lean towards no. -1  ENY is brutal enough as is, no need to make it worse.

my idea was to beef eny up so it is fair to everyone , htc have just stated eny doesnt have the desired effects it was designed for , if it was altered for aircraft manufacturing and skill , there could be a sliding scale and not just on numbers as some of these numbers could be persons staying logged to gain perks if there side wins and are afk , also new players on a 2 week trial surley akf and 2 week trialers should not be counted as eny increases , there must be away htc can crossreferance afk and trialers and build it into the eny bot .then it may stop people changing country as i think some pilots change country to avoid eny to fly there preffered aircraft  (personal view not proven )

If you're referring to my post, I'm not an employee of HTC, I'm just a volunteer member of the Campain Manager staff that helps run special events - namely the Friday Squad Ops events.

there must be away htc can crossreferance afk and trialers and build it into the eny

People who habitually log in and go AFK for hours irk me, but it is what it is. I think the investment of time and manpower to try to write code to address this far outweighs any potential benefit gained by it.

then it may stop people changing country as i think some pilots change country to avoid eny to fly there preffered aircraft  (personal view not proven )

That's kind of the point of ENY in the first place.
