Time switch proposal
« on: July 19, 2011, 04:27:53 PM »
Would it be possible to make the time switch duration dependent on several factors such as

1) The total number of people in the arena. If the arena has less than a given threshold of players (say 150), then one can switch whenever.
2) The number of people on the side that the person requesting to switch from. If one requests to switch from a side that has the lowest numbers, the duration is longer than for those who want to switch from a side with highest numbers.

Yeah, that's right, you just got your rear handed to you by a fuggly puppet!

How about lowering the threshold for players switching from a high ENY country to a low ENY country? If you switch to country A and they get some 15 ENY later that night, you can switch to one of the other two countries.

Switching to a country that has equal ENY or higher can remain at some "1 switch/night" number, and switching to a country of  significantly less ENY can take no more than 60min.

Using ENY or low/high numbered sides would result in the same thing, ENY is determined by the numbers of one team vs the numbers of the other teams. I do like the idea of using ENY as its an already established game mechanic for describing it though.

as for DaddyDrax, a -1 comment is not helpful, explain why.

The idea is that so when numbers a low a fight can be still be maintained. Also, as people log off as the sides can progressively be rebalanced as the eny will change enabling people to switch to the lower numbered side balancing game play.
