Beating the 12 hour horse

[JUGgler]

What exactly is the reason for this opressive thing?

Is the reason, "was this way before"?

Is it to limit spiiiiiiiiies?

Is it to preserve CVs?

Is it to balance #s?

After painting 2 rooms yesterday, I thought I had set myself up for about 3-4 hours to drink and screw around in AH. 1st hour wasn't bad, I was gone somewhere in the following hour.

The bish side of things got sooo boring I had to leave, but not before I witnessed about 100 of the 140 bish online hording a port, which I might add had the VH down!

The irony is my squadies and I would have enthusiasticaly switched to oppose this horde, thereby balancing things just ever so slightly!

Sadly this was not possible 

It would be great to see it go back to 1 hour at the minimum!

HiTech, it might be worth a "log in screen poll", not unlike the aircraft polling

Your guys represent a small group that would approach the issue with honorable intentions, but would be vastly out-numbered by many of the same perk-point-chasing, side-switching pimple-faced whordlings that you're trying to fight off to begin with

Every one of the pimple faced, whatcha-ma-doodles deserve a good azz-whoopin for being alt-fairy, potatod-tarts.....just do the poll and see, please sir.

I agree, poll it, I don't like the 12 hour rule what so ever, I couldn't give a $@!# about spies... but then again that's probably because Im a fighter jock, I just like to go around furballing etc... 
I really hope HiTech polls it....

That's not matching my experience. Hordlings do not switch, they are very much "country-loyal" And if players switch sides to go to a vastly outnumbered side for farming the perks... well, that would be the ENY balancer doing it's work as it should

lusche i used to work swing at the steel mill up until about 3 months ago when i go 1 week daylight and 1 week swing.  swing ends at around 10 pm and since i dont work till 2 pm the next day I normally stay up till 3 or 4 in the morning.  up until they changed the time to 12 hours I would see many people switch to the nightly vtard/alcoholic horde.  it never failed around midnight pst almost every night.

nothing wrong with hording for however they want to spend their 15 bucks.  but it was very frustrating flying with some guys and see them 2 minutes later as bishops.  while the 12 hour hasnt stopped all of it and does do affect some cool players it does stop many dorks from just switching to whichever country is hording at that hour.

So what kept you from actually switching sides?

Did I miss the part where you had already switched in the last 12 hours?

Make it three or four hours. Who really needs to switch sides every hour?

It would be nice to have a much faster option, in particular when the numbers get so off, or the fights are dead.  I know I enjoyed it when there would be a great fight going on between two bases.  After a while the numbers would slide to one side, so we'd switch and come back up and fight the guys we'd been flying with just to keep the fight going and even it out again.  No one seemed to mind that I  can remember

Let me propose the following situation...

When some of your squaddies first log in, on the other side of the country/world country 'A' had the lest numbers, so they switched to country 'A'. Then squaddies between the first ones who logged in and you, then switched to be with the initial ones who logged in. By the time you log in, country 'A' has the most numbers and everyone is bored, now, you can either switch to be bored with your bored squaddies, or you can go to the low numbered side and not have the opportunity to fly with your friends....

you know what most do?... they log off and play BF3, and maybe try again the next day... bad for biz, bad for the game, bad for you

I'm not arguing against switching. I just switched to rook because the numbers were 50/58/24.

But I was the only one on in my squad and I know I won't be back for at least 12 hours from the tie I log off anyway.

I just don't see the need to switch every hour. The numbers don't move that dramatically that often and if waiting, say three hours, is too much then don't switch.
