I still have no idea what point you're trying to make here.
I wanted to see what peoples opinions are regards this I have already mentioned this in this very thread, I have bolded the point of this thread in the quote below so there is no mistake. In a bigger sense I feel that variety in gameplay has lessened, the 12 hour switch being part of that.
This isn't really about what we know now, but what we thought at the time I know the offical answer is 3:btw
I think Hitech underestimates just how important being able to switch sides is for a lot of people and how it affects their enjoyment of the game. At the time it happened there was 2 schools of thought 1: and 2:, 3: was never even put forward until Hitech himself suggested it.
You went from suggesting that the 12 hour rule is meant to create the false impression that HTC cares about spying
No I didn't, you just haven't read the entire post well enough. I got the answer from the horses mouth when it happened, but I can tell you that playing this game prior to the 12 hour rule being implemented that the fever pitch of paranoia was at its height about spying. No big surprise then that a lot of people at the time who had experience of receiving stupid pms every time they switched, and for myself personally I received a lot of attention all of a sudden for things I had been doing unnoticed for years without complaint, came to the conclusion that it was done to appease unfounded paranoia, that is before Hitech told what the real reason was.
Regardless the anger on the bbs that the new rule brought in should tell Hitech that there is an issue, and that he should have had a long hard look at rather than simply waving his magic wand because thats the way it used to be and he forgot. If the original reason he implementing it had resurfaced he should have explained that as well imo we got...
Late war country change time has been increased back to 12 hours. That is how long you will have to wait after changing countries before you can change again.to now arguing that HTC needs to split the arena and go back to one hour side changes. I think.
I am for the 12 hours being done away with, personally I preferred the split arenas to how they are now as it offers me what I no longer have, variety, I have 4 chances to find action in 2 arenas. I would say however that I think I would be one of very few who would want the arenas split again. I believe that anything that offers more choice is good in game.
