Late night in the Blue Arena

[DMBEAR]

The last couple of nights (very late) nits have been experiencing HOURS of ENY from Hell.  Nit numbers are double those of the bish and rooks.  The ENY was been ungodly and the arena cap never seems to kick in to balance the numbers.

The antique fighters fighters we are left to fly cant even compete with what the enemy are flying in with.  Forget about defending against an enemy carrier group because we cant fly a fighter that will carry a decent ordinance load out.   And offensive defense (porking enemy fields to slow their advances) was just a waste of time since the couple of bombers we were able to fly cant carry more than a few 500 lb. bombs.
 
So, WHERE were all the extra nits???  We were attacked by HORDES of bish and rooks but the numbers of nits there to defend are half that of those attacking.  Arena cap never seemed to kick in to balance the numbers either.

I didn't check the roster to see who was actually playing and who couldn't be found.  I can only guess that there must be a number of people who have been leaving the game running while they slept.  Heh, sounds kind of paranoid but Ive even considered that it might be part of the bish and rook pact to attack only nits by side hop to nits at the end of their night and leaving the game running while they sleep.

I hate to admit to being a quitter but a large percentage of us decided we finally had enough with the futility of it all and left en mass to the orange arena.

Did anyone else see revenge of the

Erkel what I mean is... How do two countries that outnumber the last of the three on their own manage to get steamrolled by that one undermanned country?

That would explain why Knights are always outnumbered in Orange.

thats what I was thinking

That usually depends on how much "furballing" only said steamrolled country is doing versus taking bases. Course I use the term "furballing" loosely. It's more like the hoardes "cherry picking" and "vulching" the few defenders while the rest from that country are busy steamrolling bases from them.

knits are not always outnumbered in orange,most of the time they have the numbers,but in this case most of the knits the past few days have been in blue cause they had very few fields in orange,kinda like they gave up.rooks and bish both in orange had crazy eny for that time,was wondering why so i logged and sure nuff,blue was over run with knits.

nits are blue dweebs

not true, ENY multiplier on knits very rarely goes below 1 in LWO (about 5-10% of the time when I fly). unfortunately theres not much knits can do about it, as long as rook n bish continue hording knits in LWO, many knits will log out of LWO and go into LWB. this week has been about the worse ive seen recently, took 3 or 4 days until some of the bishrooks got bored of ganging knits and finally decided to start fighting each other.

as long as its a 3-way fight this will always be a problem, game theory predicts that ultimately 2 sides will always gang up on a third side.

[The Fugitive]

So your basically complaining that while the Knits have the bigger numbers, their LACK of teamwork makes it difficult to fight against the enemy on two fronts. Its either that or a large part of Knit nation is parked under the trees spawn camping.

The is NO SIDE BALANCING in this game. ENY forces the team with the bigger numbers to work with inferior equipment, this is the only thing that evens the fight, not the sides.

So now you want HTC to fix the side balancing so that your country is never out numbered? Sounds kinda stupid when you spell it out like that don't it?

[Anaxogoras]

Why not just switch to another country and get the ENY bonus?

I don't mind being outnumbered, more planes for me to shoot at! 

[waystin2]

That would explain why Knights are always outnumbered in Orange.

More or less what I was gonna say.

[JimmyC]

. Hard to get into orange so I stay logged in now.

er there you go..........

[Shuffler]

Easily fixed...... HTC can disband all squads and when you sign on the system automatically puts you on low number team. All teams will be equal in numbers or close to equal. Don't know about yall, but I don't like that idea.

Instead of complaining try doing something about it. It is easy to do..... switch to low number side. The game is not the problem it is the players. You can choose to do something about it or have it done for you. To this point caps and eny is what is being done for us as most players have done a poor job of policing themselves.

Simply ask yourself this... "am i part of the solution or am I a part of the problem?"

[Wizer]

Unless HTC starts kicking people out of the arenas when they don't move for a certain amount of time, I don't know what to tell ya. 

I agree HTC installing a program into the game wherein a player would be exited from the game if he is inactive for a specified period of time.
