Opinions on 12 hour switch times

[Ramesis]

I don't do much on the forum but what gets me going are those that complain
and critisize those that  enjoy the "war" and not just furballing. To those that
enjoy furballing, there is an Arena for called the Dueling Arena AND an actual
place where you can furball all day long!!

I see far more "war guys" complain about the furballers, then the other way around.

many a times you here armchair generals screaming for help in taking a base, then purposely dropping hangers at a good fight because of them furballers not helping in the war......

Well there is a place you can horde undefended bases all day long! It's called Early War!

The point of ENY was to balance the game. When ENY got high, it would encourage people to switch to the lower eny side. With the high time threshold (12h), this system has been disturbed. Now ENY just prevent people from flying what they would like, instead of encouraging balanced sides. As such, the 12 hour rule was a fail.

Good for you enjoy your war but the name on the box still says Aces High and the 'war' is primarily to facilitate air combat.

I've heard less of the annoying, paranoid, senseless, stupid, ridiculous "someone must have spied" comments since the change.

12 hours may be too much but I like the lack of paranoia we have now.

I don't really care what it is since I don't switch sides typically but I'm not opposed to the idea that 12 hours might be excessive.

Don't forget mid-war.  It's also a place where tons of perks can be accumulated very very quickly for bombers and vehicles.

Change it back! lol

If mid-war and early-war are the same as they were when I was active, it exemplifies why having a high side switch time makes no difference. If I remember correctly, there was one squad that would all go to one team and then 'win the war' against, at most 1 player defending on the other side.

Having a very stiff ENY system would prevent that from being possible.

come fly aces high and kill a hanger or get an assist on a guy taking off while you are on the horde side.

12 hours later, while you have gone to sleep, you can switch.

as I posted in all other 14 threads on this  subject 4 hours  would be a good  comprimised I   n      my opini  on

[Delirium]

I feel strongly that 12 hours is far too long, but 1 hour is too short.

If the switch was timed for a 3-4 hour interval, it would be ideal.

#4 HTC thought it was the best way to make more cash. if he sees a lower profit margin the time may be changed or not. simple

I haven't seen any less complaints about spying. In fact, I think the complaints have grown and traversed to other features of the game, like CV control.

Rob, I respect you as you seem much more objective than most, but I think you wrong on this one. Heck, you found a possible cheat not long ago on March 8th.

[Rob52240]

4 hours is enough.

Honestly, as long as a couple safeguards to prevent cheating were put in place 1 hour would be more than enough.
There are a handfull of players who like to rotate countries to hit their previous nation's fleets continuously and while they are a nuisance, their behavior shouldn't dictate side switching rules.
