News: 12hrs side-switch LWA

[SunBat]

Dunno, you'll have to ask HiTech.  If I had to guess, 12 works better than 24 because it doesn't punish you if you switched sides at the end of the previous evening.  Each night is a blank slate.

sigh

[Dead Man Flying]

12 works better than 6?  Certainly the average flying session is less than six hours...

Again, I'm not HTC.  You'll have to ask them.

[grizz441]

Maybe Babalonian and Bustr know.

[Shane]

In Air Warrior, it was 24 hrs... I can't speak for WB... In AH it was 12... for whatever initial reason... it may have been tweaked at time I don't really recall... then i guess with split arena 1 hr became the standard, and now we're back to one arena, so there's no "reason" other than,  it's pretty much always been that way (with one arena).

Now if y'all are asking HTC to consider *changing* the 12 hr limit...

I suck dude lol.  I wanna see him and Kazaa go at it in spits

You don't understand the true meaning of good. Anyone can get good at dueling for ego. Some of us old fogies like to duel purely for fun, but that is not 'being good' either.

Levi was the master of the furball. He displayed reactions second to none, his SA was clairvoyant, his nerve was unshakable in any odds and most importantly, something which you youngsters need to understand about 'being good', his attitude was all class. He never acted like someone who was better than the next man and would give the time of day to anyone in the game. He also sucks, ask Drex if you ever see him.

I'll take a stab at this one Slash, bearing in mind that I am not HTC.  I think HTC's idea of a side imbalance is a significant difference in the amount of players from one country to another.  I do not believe that they are addressing what your core concern is, and I believe that is that you are looking for a certain type of fight with a specific balance of numbers regardless of country population numbers.  How'd I do?

It not as much a certain type of "fight" as it is a fight at all. Contrary to what is projected on to myself as well as my squad by those with some hangup about their status in cartoon world, I am not looking for furball utopia. It does not exist here. While I may prefer a pointless furball to landgrabbing, I don't knock a fight that is spawned from base capture. However, the locust swarm form of base capture is the lame and I could not find it to be more boring or a waste of my time. Up 30 P-51s, flatten everything, capture, hurry up and land, go to the other side of the map.

I have it thrown in my face to just strap a bomb on and go make my own fight. "Build it and they will come." My ass. I've been here 10 years and that is not the magic formula for a fight. I don't tell you how you should spend your time in AH so spare me your outrage when you don't like the fact I respond to your chickenshit attacks of me and my friends when we don't care to play your way.

All I ask it the opportunity to help balance the numbers by switching. I know this puts me in the same category as the Dixie Chicks, but AH "country" loyalty is a joke in the big picture of the game and I don't care about it. Some of you act like you'd rather quit the game then <gasp> switch sides!! Ok, what ever. Don't switch, I don't care. I'll switch and give you something to shoot at.

And I don't think even numbers is the only factor in side balancing. Even numbers and not a fight on "my side" is a good balance for me how? There were even numbers for the most part late last night yet we still had to switch because there was NO FIGHT. This isn't new, this isn't rare. Maybe one hour is too short, maybe it isn't. I do know that 12 is too long and should be rethought.

Were you taking subtle stabs at me or am I am exaggerating?  I understand the true meaning of good.  I've never seen him fly was just curious.

You should know i'm not subtle. It was not a stab at anyone, it was an explanation and a little advise.

And I don't think even numbers is the only factor in side balancing. Even numbers and not a fight on "my side" is a good balance for me how?

I think that's a perfectly valid criticism.  Balancing sides sort of assumes that good fights develop as a result of equal numbers.  My experience in Air Warrior and Aces High tells me that this is probably true, but it's not always true.  It sure doesn't feel balanced if you're the one country getting ganged up on by the other two.
