Make changing sides harder and make millions<lol>
« on: June 30, 2010, 11:12:46 AM »
I really do think that being able to change sides so easily and with little penalty leads to much hate and aggravation.

How about something like:

For the fist month you can change sides once a week. This lets a player visit all 3 countries and then a week to settle in.
After that your locked into that country.

You have to wait a Month (or a week , 2 weeks, or whatever - just more than 'report all CV locations back to my country, take a long dump, switch back')
and pay $4.89 to change sides.

Or any of many variations on that theme.

Thanks for a great game. <saaaalute>

rofl - yea it did.

Ok, of the 'many variations' is one with  NO monetary payment. Or just more time between changes. Some penalty to make it
harder.

How about losing pilot rating. This is most damaging when a player with a high pilot rating
moves to another country to take over a carrier to place it in harms way. Sometimes it can take a while to find someone to
dislodge this guy, but by then the enemy bombers have completed their run.

If anything, we need more encouragement to switch, more players doing it.

Can you expand on that bit plz. I'm basically a noob (dweeb more appropriate?) trying to acquire greater understanding.

I had no fish this week yet, I I'll bite:

- More even sides = more fun for more people
- More even sides = less complains about ENY limits
- More players playing on every country from time to time = Less prejudices and craptalk like "Rooks always this ... Bish always that... ENY never hits the enemy the way it hits us... HT is a Bish/Rook/Knight, so he made their tanks stronger than us"  - It's like in real life: Traveling abroad educates & broadens the mind :)

I've never understood why side switching is frowned upon by some.  As fun as playing cartoon fighter/bomber/gv/boat pilots is the lasting enjoyment of this game is the people and the friendships that form. 

If I stuck to one country I wouldn't have two thirds of the friendships that I currently enjoy, to trade that to stop a few sad people (and I do believe that relatively few people) who care so much about "winning" that they feel compelled to stoop to trying to exploit the system just isn't worth it.
