I agree that there are large groups either trying to take a base and large groups trying to defend a base. There are also alot of people on here saying they don't like fighting the horde and do not want to fight that way. Sometimes I like to fight the horde, sometimes I like to be in the horde, but mostly I look for fights away from the horde. I find plenty of them but then again I'm not in any hurry to have some fun. I don't mind flying the edges of the bigger fights looking for smaller fights. Well if there are guys like me doing that, and guys here wanting those fights then there are plenty of us finding each other and having those small fights. I understand that the preponderance of players may still be with/against the horde but I think it is more a question of patience. If you want to "hurry up and have fun" well ok then, but you have made that choice and that choice sends you toward a "target rich environment", the horde alot of the times.
Finally, +1 on the 3 hour side switch. Because it will make the game better in my opinion by giving folks the opportunity to switch to the lower number side. I don"t however believe that it is going to make any difference on whether players choose to fly with/against the horde.

I love this game.
