I have a very busy lifestyle and I only have a few hours a day to play (if that). I only enjoy dogfighting, I won't help take bases, bomb, or gv. If I log into an arena and there's no fight going on or the ENY is up I'll switch countries without a second thought, and when the fight dies down I'll switch to another country, possibly even the one I was fighting against. Make it 12 hours before I can change countries and that limits my flight time even more.

That was along the lines of what I was thinking as well.  I don't get that much time to fly as is.  limiting the ability to get to the fight will impact on that.

Doesn't this make the game even more country oriented?

We are all part of the community what ever country we are on.

I would also like to see the reason behind the change.
It just means 1 side change per night.Well for some that means 2 but, 3 hrs. seems more reasonable.  :banana:

I personally don't care unless it starts effecting numbers tunrout. :rolleyes: Sure wish someone with all this time to make rule changes, could instead make a new map. :bolt:

edit: (cough) Revise some existing maps.(cough)

Thank you HTC staff!  I'd pay an extra $10 bucks a month to keep it permanently.
Not flaming you Whopper, just curious as to why you think this is good?

I agree the gap between 12 hours and 1 hour is vast, 2 or 3 hours maybe.

I don't think people are into balancing sides unless the switch countries to find a new fight or to fly with squadies. The people who are flying in the horde do not want to be fighting against even numbers, or be fighting against numbers higher than they are.

I suspect that this will just throw the side balancing more out of proportion because those who do switch to fly low numbers cannot.

I know, lets just change the game to one country.  Then you pansy bellybutton tool shedding horde monkeys won't ever have to worry about spi3z or anyone actually trying to defend against your weak lemming lines.

Posted in the news forum... 12 hour waiting period for side-switching.

I would personally like to thank the dweebs who caused this to happen - it put a crimp on short-term ability to switch sides for balance.

I'm not in a skawd, I have no chess-piece loyalty. I do not care about "The War."

Meh.

This is a joke, right?  :noid

Funny how they could have run a survey like they do for new planes to see what the customers want.

Matters little to me.  You make your own fights if you don't have any available.  Mind you I had no problem originally with the hour time limit.  Some folks like to jump, and that's cool. :aok

Which is pretty much contrary to all statements and actions by HTC in the past about AH countries and country loyalty. Country kill stats have been taken down from the score pages with the expressed statement "We want to get rid of country centered thinking". HT himself agreed with me not too long ago that we need more players willing to change sides, not less. (I will try to look up the quotes later)


The whole thing would be fine with me if HTC would really go all the way with country oriented gameplay. Bring back country stats, give regularly updates about the war status on the homepage or even on twitter and make the "war" gameplay  more strategic, varied and complex. Hell, in this case they could even up the switch limit to once per tour. Maybe it's time for a true "war" arena and a pure furball arena (similar to WW1 setup"?

Can you share the logic behind the move back?

And for many of us this previous setting was a highly welcome improvement. Just because "it has been like this before" it doesn't mean we have to like it ;)
