Side switch time
« on: September 30, 2012, 07:47:26 PM »
Isn't 12 hours a little to much? I switched to bishops this morning to fight and then the map was won. New map comes up and the good fight is between rooks and nits. But now I'm still stuck as a bish for 4 more hours because of the 12 hour side switch time. Please take it back to an hour. I would rather have these so called "spies" that everyone cried about rather than sit around and do nothing waiting for my 12 hours to be up.

Tiny correction; they still do. And still would continue to do so if side switching were totally disabled  ;)

Exactly my point. Their whining ruined the fun for the rest of us who actually enjoy finding a fight.

12 hours is completely ridiculous. Especially for the late night crowd.

Did you switch so you could drive a GV to the HQ or strats?

That's the only reason I ever switch.

the late night or non-US timezone crowd :(

I imagine I will be cancelling my account after DGS, I guess I am just throwing money away at the moment.

I have given up logging in during my evening and trying to find a fight, and I only rarely have the opportunity to fly weekend mornings. Although when I have the time it is as fun as ever...

Please bring back 1 hour side switching and give us non-prime time players some hope  :pray

Did you see my dad on dogfights yet?
I'll be seeing you face to face possibly next month.

just something to think about.  are all of you guys that can never find a fight always on the same country?  if you arent then why not pm each other and fight to your hearts content.

Would it not be a lot easier for you to simply stop making baseless assumptions on why you think people switch? If you do not switch at all, a 12 hour switch time would be of no consequence to you, would it? On the other hand to someone who switches to find it action it would be a disaster, so why bother entering the argument....you always jump onto this topic with nothing more than assumptions and your opinion, the guy complaining about the switch time has a valid fact as a complaint ie the switch times have been increased 12 fold, that is a fact not an opinion.

Yes it is but Hitech will not relent, the idea was that it is meant to act as a dampener for flucations in country numbers, of course it doesn't really, been on more often than not and the numbers are way out of balance and always will be regardless. There are so many obstacles placed in the way of an Aces High player switch times, puffy ack etc that you would literally have to be retired or unemployed to devote the time to enjoy it anymore.

ooohhhh  here it comes again...

Been discussed many times. Many good alternatives were brought up. And the result?? Couldnt even find the answer to the question: WHY???
Its pointless and unnecessery.
