2 weekers and noobs would be welcome and switching sides if HT accepted

I played all 3 sides in AW..It was fun fighting against the other guys now and then,or winging WITH them against the third....Oh my...co operation between 2 against the third??? This I wont switch sides thing just shows the pursuite of points as a driving factor.So ya undo today what ya did yesterday...SO what?Resets are gonna be long in coming now anyway.Its the journey,not the destination.Im betting you never rode a cycle just to ride it.

I'll dismantle my work from yesterday.

  This part right here is the biggest reason why I don't change sides.    I would rather sit in the tower and wait then take back bases that I worked so hard to get the day, the hour or just a few minuits befor.

 Don't get me wrong I actually like having even #'s and I see where the balancer is probably about the only way to get them but I'm tired of seeing the "JUST CHANGE SIDES" statement all the time.  That works well for those that arn't going for the long term goal of the game but not so much for those of us that want our side to win...  

 Changing sides might be an option  after the war has been won and the map resets but I don't see the point of changing sides in the middle of the current fight.

 To me it would be like say if I was American or Bitish in WW2 and had worked hard to defeat the Germans then at some point I said hold on I want to be German now...    

  I might think about changing sides after my long term goal has been achieved and try being (German) for a war but I just don't see the point in hopping back and forth in the middle of a fight.   I might as well join a boxing legue and beat the crap ot of myself.


  I know some of you still won't get the point but I tried to get it across..

Play chess against yourself?

  Nope if I go out of the house I want a reason to burn the gas.

 Your thought that points are a driving factor is way off because I don't care about points/perks one bit...  

 Do you ever set long term goals?  To me fighting for my side in a game to reach the end, in this case the reset is one such goal.

Lynx:

I understand your position, especially since you really enjoy the base taking aspects of the game.

Just a question -- there ARE 2 LW arenas, and every time I look I see one has low rooks and one high rook #s. Neither are "empty" like EW, MW.

I missed why that kind of arena change wasnt an option....



If there was a specific reason only that arena would do, then well -- when I'm in that kind of situation, I remind myself that no where in life can you have everything. Each time I choose something that's a high priority for me, I know that lower priority things will take a hit.

And if you have multiple absolutely top priority values -- only one acceptable country, and only one acceptable arena -- it seems to me that you can flat out expect that there will be a cost. In consolation, you can remind yourself that you are getting exactly the things that are most important to YOU.

after all the different changes that have been implemented lately.

this new one seems to make the most sense.

i really don,t mind waiting a few minutes to get into the arena of my choice.

you guys gotta admit, HiTech has been tryin real hard, and puttin up with alot of infantile flack.

i didn,t really see any problems before the sky fell, but thats just me.

sometimes one side had the numbers.

sometimes a different side had the numbers.

i don,t think it bothered alot of people.

but the people it did bother,most certainly let it be known that it did.

after much experimentation, i think HiTech has come up with a solution

that isn,t too bad.



                  gentlemen ---i submit --it could have been alot worse!!!!!


                          thanks for the effort  HT !!




                                                        HO HO HO !!!!

See Rule #5

[BaldEagl]

I think the idea of assigning 2 week trial guys to balance is a great idea in theory and adding the "sign up now" option is genious.  I just wonder how many of these two weekers there really are at any time though.  I'd guess not enough to make a big difference.

filth as a player i respect you.  but really, you think HT is such a sucker that he allows a small portion of the community to dictate to him how the game should be?  are you kidding me.  it's one thing to be upset because you don't like the changes.  it's another to go on and on, that you don't like the changes, and they are due to a couple of people using HT as some form of puppet.  if you agree with changes, you are a suck-up, ya thats it.  way to be an adult.  way to rally to your cause which i assume is from the above statement is that HT is a puppet controlled by a few players.  then, can't state case, just proceed into name calling and childish behavior, i'm sure it will get you far, good luck with that:aok

[FiLtH]

Pluck...the only cause I have related to this game is the fun I get out of it. I'm a disappointed, and frustrated player, who used to love a game. The game I love is dying. Something else is trying to take its place. And I should be happy about it? Sorry I don't mince words. I'm not happy with the way he's running things.

[loser]

While i certainly wouldnt say i wasa fan of the new system.. at all, i wonder if you considered this one thing. (Im sure you prolly did, but just to be sure.)

So say we go with your idea.

AH siphons all the players that are 2 weekers, or noobs, or whatever you want to call it, to the side that has the low numbers. I mean what does it matter? They dont pay (yet) and most likely arent in a squad that they care about right and havent developed any country loyalties or online "friends" in AH.

So what we end up with is a country that was already in "the bucket" that is stacked with 2 week FNGs that have NO clue what they are doing. Chances are they are going to get pounced on even worse than a random assigment to countries based on numbers.

So they have a terrible time, dont really have any fun, never learn enough to want to stick it out in the game because everyone on their team (or for the most part) is equally clueless as they are. Never have the desire to become paying customers and help the game grow and prosper.

In addition, they get tossed around and never really develop any real loyalty to a select player base (squad) or even country.

Basically in short, they never get to experience the things that make YOU (and me) love the game so much.  They just arent as likely to have the kind of fun that made us stick around as paying customers for years.

Not really fair is it?

Just a thought and my $.02

whats the point in playing then?

whats the piont in doing anything for a team.

or is team non-existent in a lot of peoples vocab recently?:

i like idea lynx, there should be preference to long term paying customers, and

auto switching new guys helps balancce, helps em to get to see all the game, and lets em make a decision.
