I've said it in the past, and I'll say it again. HTC should enable something where if someone is sitting idle in the tower, hangar or O'club for 60 minutes, they are automatically logged off. At any given point there are prolly 10-15 people away from the computer for hours at a time, yet still logged in, which effects ENY. And don't get me started about when a country is within reset distance. No one logs off...Must got those 25 free perk points! must!

Or maybe just have ENY calculated using the number of deployed users (i.e. in planes, GVs or manning guns) per country, instead of just everyone logged into the arena?

See now if people learned to become pretty decent in the less then superduper EZmode planes
They wouldnt give a damn about eny

But I guess working for a living is COMPLETELY out of the question huh?

LOL Its become the American way

Bump Eny all you want. Ill just change planes and still kill you anyway
EXmode and superduper planes blow up just as pretty as goons do

I wouldnt mind seeing ENY go away. Back in AHI the biggest whine was about a laggy map. I am not saying this is a whine. But it seems the more HTC adds or changes, it just causes more issues. If it aint broke don't fix it. We lost our big server, our big maps and now we can't fly the plane we want because "X" number of players are not flying for "Y" country.

Starting not to mind ENY, I see the point of it, but I hate the whole "One country is about to win so I'll switch sides for those magic perks. That drives the ENY through the roof. Oh well its not my 15 bucks:eek:

That doesn't work. You have to be part of the winning country for either 12 or 24 hours (forget which) to get the perks for the win.

ENY of 7 ? This is over an ENY of 7 ?!

Cuts out 11 planes, 6 of them perk rides. Leaves 63 other planes available.

hmmmm......As lowest ENY I fly is Ki-84, or sometimes the F4U-1A, at 15 points,...and I try to avoid highest population countries when I log in.... not an issue.

Although I detest the ENY system it has had one upside for me. Since I love the D pony(my dad loved it too so I had many books about it as a kid)
I simply fly for the side w/ the fewest numbers. I have made several new acquaintances along the way and have enjoyed flying w/ new wingies.

Also, contrary to what Shawk told me, I've learned that the Nits are not all Boogeymen and that Bish are not all related to Richard Simmons and inbued w/ his tendencies towards a mustache and feminine qualities.

Shawk, you lied!

I love the ENY system.

I have heard enough whining on the country channel about not beeing able to up this or that uber ride to see that it actually works.

Yesterday one of the zipcodes defending a base with me got pissed about not beeing able to up the spit16. I told him to try out the 109G6 and Hurricane and he fell inlove with the HurrC..... another sole converted away from the spit16.

I think Sim's post is spot on. You cant base ENY on in flight for exactly that reason. In the above example say 30 people join a mission and sit and wait for 15 minutes. It would probably even give the Knights ENY problems.

ENY is there for a reason to promote equal sides. If I can't fly my favourite rides because i'm sitting on a Rook horde I will swap sides. If I don't want to do that there are very capable planes for High ENY.

Dora = 15
Spit9 = 20
P47's = can't remember
109's = dunno

There are still loads of planes to get kills in.

For these people who say I want to fly what i want when i want grow up.

well since someone bumped it..... I don't see why ENY isn't based on the local area you are fighting in.

I don't mind the reason behind ENY and I understand it, but time and time again one team might have the bigger numbers overall but are greatly out numbered in local areas around the map.

ENY doesn't bug me so much because I don't normally fly anything that's lower than ENY of 15, 90% of the time. However sometimes like tonight it gets up there around 15 to 20 which is kinda ridiculous.

Ghosth · « **Reply #28 on:** April 10, 2007, 06:35:17 AM »

It all depends on exactly what it is that we are trying to accomplish.

You want great furballs, Eny needs to be tied to fields not people.
As long as the balance stays reasonable ENY would not kick in. Someone starts landgrabbing and ENY is going to slow it down.

You want to win the war, rack up the perks then it needs to stay the way it is.
We don't even have 6 months under the new setup yet. Community needs to encourage more people to fly for the underdog.

You want balance, you can't look short term. Step WAY back and look again.

Me I just want to fly without getting ganged by 8 zillion alt monkey rooks.
But then I'm strange I guess.

Sure.

"Ok everyone, into the tower! On count of three, everyone get into the best ENY 5 aircraft you can!"

Guess that's one way to have numerical superiority AND keep the good hardware.
