 :( So eny suxs and guys are abusing it, once again it was a great idea that is being exploited. Well if you don't like eny switch sides? Why so we can all be accused of being spies or the big "C" word? I personally liked eny as it originally was intended but what it has become through abuse is crazy. I don't think there is a good solution to eny, without it hordes rule, with it large groups of people attacking mutliple bases can't up anything to effectively defend or capture bases. Titanic tuesdays has brought back the horde mentality and made it glaringly clear to see. I don't care how good you are in a early/mid war bird, 20 uber planes are going to wack a lot of the country that's been forced by eny to up those rides. There are quite a lot of pilots that can kill 10 planes in 1 sortie in the uber rides as long as he's fighting inferior aircraft. I don't know what the solution is but what we have now isn't working. :(

My squad only flies bishop. Bishops may not have the best pilots or gv'ers, but one thing we do well is work together. Punishing the team that is owning the other teams isn't fair. Some of us play the game to win the war.

Now, on a lighter note.....

So 24...what you're saying is that it IS fair for you to outnumber your opponents heavily and win the "war" only because you have arena odds? Some how, your logic simply doesn't seem to......fly.  :aok

(BTW, it is funny that you talk about things being unfair when the ENY says that you were winning because you outnumbered everyone...perhaps "fair" game play isn't really what you are after.) :lol

I don't understand what your saying here.  :huh

If your "Bish" and have an ENY of 29 you can't up "uber rides"  however when the enemy brings in their "Ubur rides", you out number the enemy and should have no trouble going against them 2 and 3 to 1. Even in uber rides its tuough to fight against 3 !

ENY works great as it is.

What I'm saying is that most times when Bishops are beginning to take numerous bases there is no ENY (The sides are even). After about 5 captures, people from the other countries (Rooks and Knights) go to the other arena. I'm sick and tired of being punished for working together. It's not my fault other countries aren't formulating an attack.

Finally, just because you have eny advantage does not mean you are winning. I remember a few nights back I was defending bases with about 4 guys and we were getting our butts kicked. At that time we had an eny of 17, I think. It was nearly impossible for us 4 guys to defend against 10 or so knights in the air and ground.

bish start working together

bish start taking bases

rooks and nits get annoyed and go to other arena

bish get penalized because their opposition threw in the towel early.





that is the gist of the argument.

...and yet, bish continue to come here and complain that ENY mistreats them. Go figure! :huh

I will ask what I have asked in other recent threads about how unfair ENY is.....how long have the folks complaining about it been here? If you don't remember the rook horde monkeys that instigated the ENY mod....then you are really complaining about something you have no understanding of.

im still a big advocate of ENY not ELIMINATING aircraft, just adding a perk value to previously free ones..

I.E. if you want to fly a 5 ENY plane, and ENY is at 5, it costs you 1 perkies, if its at 6, it costs you 2.. etc  and so on and so forth..

that way there is still a limiting factor, if you want to fly a low ENY plane at all times, its gonna cost ya,  but at the same time, you can always fly whatever ya want. ( just better make sure you can afford losing it)

if ENY was 45 you wouldn't be doing anything. The highest ENY value is 40. Not to mention the cap is at 29, which is what this thread is about.

Problem with that is only the more experienced pilots, with a lot of perkies, will be flying those planes.  There are many of them that could be totally careless with their aircraft and not have to worry about running out of perks.

granted... but high ENY situations are not super common, so even a newbie will more than likely have the 4 or 5 perkies needed to fly the plane of his choice when he gets into a situation where he must pay to fly what was previously free..


also the uber pilots with 1000s of perkies that could fly anything at any time are not the problem when sheer numbers becomes an issue...

Its your masses average Joe 1500 rank pilots who make up the majority of the "horde"
