ENY based on # in flight
« on: July 26, 2009, 04:27:21 PM »
I believe ENY is based on how many each particular country has on, I think it should be based on how many are IN flight.

I can agree with this. It's silly when you're getting killed by ENY, even though 50% of your country is sitting in the tower.
Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

They are sitting in tower because of ENY. So, if ENY was now lower due to be calculated on numbers inflight... wouldn't they try to takeoff then, thus immediately driving ENY back high again?

While im sure this is true, some are just AFK. This is a bigger problem when the arena has low #'s and a few people can greatly effect eny.

The percentage of players just afk is pretty much the same across the countries.

Also, when ENY is calculated on inflight numebr sin a small arena.. what about large squads? For example SOAP in EW rollign the map with a ratio of 9 - 1 players. They will just land, thus lowering ENY. They they will all spawn at once with the mission tool. ENY circumvented...

I think you are off by about a factor of 10.
