Change country change time limit for EW
« on: February 06, 2009, 06:23:49 PM »
Yes, I know it has been brought up a few times but I cant see a downside to it.

What im asking for here is for the country change time limit to be reduced from 60min to 30min. In Early War the numbers dwindle so much at times that you could be the only person on your country one minute and the next minute.Because of this you may be faced with ENY because with such few #'s in there a few players can greatly change the player %. Also at sometimes there may only be a fight between two countries and if your on the third your left out. :cry

Comments and flaming welcome. :D

Back when I was flying more regulary in EW, following was standard:

Snailman logs on. Numbers are Bish 5 Knights 0 Rook 1 (Snailman). 
All bish are "attacking" a Rook base. Snailman ups, short fight quickly ends.
Rook base stops flashing, Knight base starts.
Snailman changes sides and ups at base thats under attack. Short or no fight.
Rook base starts to flash again. Snailman stuck in Knightland for another 50 minutes. No Rook online
Bish capture Rook base, lot's of wtg's.

Somewhow I have the feeling that there has to be "fixed" in EW beyond the country switch time limit... ;)

I'm going to have to assume it's the same group of people that are #1 on the EW scores?

Ive flown with and against sparkplg many times. Though he does care about score he flies aggresively and is fun to fight.

Same thing happens in the MW. What needs to happen is if one country have 2x the number of any other country. The country with 2x the numbers has troop carriers disabled. During this time no nit or rook bases where flashing. I was the only bish getting hit by both sides. Sure I was getting perks out the ying yang but trying to defend five bases that were under attack by seven enemies single handed is just ridiculous.

ENY is another thing I don't understand in the MW. The other night bish had 1, nit had 4, and rook 3. Even though the nits had 400% over the bish and 25% of rook they only had 4.4 ENY. Now I don't know about you but to me this is screwy. If this was in LW numbers (B50, K200, R150) would you really think the nits would have just had an ENY of 4.4?

What amazes me is the multi-tasking abilities of the SOARs.  For the entire squadron to vulch a shade account and still be able to capture bases at the same time is absolutely amazing.  Now that's skill!

I know the irony isn't lost on me but does anyone else see the irony of Eaglhrt and his squadron vulching a shade account while in the same breath these guys will cry "cheater" everytime they are shot down?  There is one member (BadAzz) that always cries that I somehow am able to disable his views so he can't look behind him when I am fighting him.

I don't keep track of who it is, but everyone there is always concerned about it.
