Bustr's got his own orwellian agenda to object or show reserve at such suggestions. Ironically packaged as community service. Semp just hangs around the Wishlist poopooing every constructive suggestion that comes along. If 'HiTech said' so much the better. Some people will resist the slightest change apparently even if it doesn't affect them.

As I said before, if you don't fly at the ultra low-populated time of day, then you've got nothing to say about experiencing the issue. The motivation to do something about it is that this black hole of low player numbers is broadening on the clock according to my observations.

BOOM.

You got Bustr's number :D

I swapped to IL2 BoS as a filler between now and AH3s completion. No time restrictions on side swapping and the numbers are 3 times that of AH2 in our timezone. It might be worth giving it a look.

because you guys never think your wishes thru.  you always begin with "It would be cool".  if you would bother to research hitech gave a really good reason why not.

my answer is different that his but it's based on my experience when I used to switch every hour.  actually me and other people here are the reason we dont have a 1 hour switch time.

Well, with all due respect, he is not playing the game in an empty arena with nobody to fight.

He's asleep or programming during those times.    The rest of us are banging our heads against the keyboard in frustration.  The OP is correct.    With tweaks to address concerns this is a needed addition/change.

semp,
When one side has 15, another side has 15 and they are both rolling the side that has 5....shouldn't anyone be able to switch to that side getting rolled???? That's what they are asking for...tell me a logical reason why they shouldn't be able to do that.

What we also need is a auto tower booter. I am sick of seeing 60 players in the MA but only 15 flying. Geez people, when you stop playing: get off.

I just feel like HiTech doesn't even care.  Again, there's a huge map, 150 players or so, one fight on the map between rooks and bish and of course I can't get to it because I can't switch sides and went to a lower country (knit) earlier.  For whatever reason there isn't a fight going on between knit and anyone right now.

This is beyond frustrating.  I've wasted 90 minutes and encountered one guy who wanted to shoot at me.  I even took up a Stuka.

dont try to convince me, I dont care.  I never have problem finding fights when I log it.  however what I do understand is that 1 hour switch has been explained to death before.  it was explained why it is the way it is.  but you guys are too hard headed to understand.  just do a quick search.  it was explained why a 1 hour switch wont work.

The explanation makes absolutely zero sense, if you could only switch to the outnumbered team. His explanation was that ENY would swing wildly. If people can only go to the short side, ENY doesn't swing wildly. It balances, just like it's supposed to.

How ironic.

We are happy for you. Now fly in our shoes for a month.

Agreed. This company use to be praised high and low everywhere it was mentioned as THE best company as far as customer relations. It seems to me that they have lost touch with their customers while burying themselves under the huge work load of the major update.

Toxic arena with bullies chasing away customers  new and old.
Game play bastidized by gamers choosing short cuts over learning the game
Lack of changes in the arenas to keep with the changing conditions due to number drops
Lack of continuing advertising to bring in new blood to replace the inevitable loss of old players.

I don't know how often they check in to see how things are going, but it can't be often enough.

I would think a presence here, in the game, and on their social media outlets with a renewed out look on the game from HTC staff would go a long way in calming a lot of fears as well as clean up some of the issues of our "cesspool " of an arena.

Watch out....

The same point I was trying to make when I got clubbed and accused of trying to drag him into other issues, which I wasn't, his presence in a calm rational way would settle down the peeing contests as I phrased it between players and assure them the he is on track with a plan

I've personally heard you complain of a lack of fight  during primetime before so don't bring some BS here...when debating a topic you need to make a valid argument...you go into wishlist threads and constantly don't make any argument....it's getting old.

Checked in the MA yesterday morning...21 16 11....11 side had dar on both fronts...no dar between 21 and 16...Semp make an actual argument why that is fine someone can't change to that smaller side to help out or even find a fight..(Search past threads isn't an argument, just you being arrogant)
