Can we bring this up again? At least let us vote on it? Though it seems the majority want a shorter side switch time.

12 hours is beyond ridiculous  :bhead

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.



Your wrong, switch times were reduced.   There was a time when you could only change sides once every week or few weeks, forget what it was originally.

Vote all you like. HTC, like any business, will probably make the choice that is more financially profitable.

Furthermore, this subject came up when it was a one hour switch. One hour... twelve hours.. the complaints either way came in. Deal with it. Can't please the world.

Tell me one time where the fights have stayed the same for 12 hours straight. They don't. This isn't real war and it's the reason 12 hours is ridiculous. You fight in one area for awhile and it dies. If there's no good fights going on with your team your stuck for the next 10+ hours.

tell me when the fights have stayed in the same place for 1 hour?  I used to switch a lot a couple of years ago when it was a 1 hr switch.  and more than 1/2 the time I would switch to the country that had some really cool fights but then they would switch back to another place and I would be stuck again.  asking for 4 or 6 hours is dumb as it really isnt any different than 12.  if you really care about following a fight then ask for switch anytime or maybe 1/2 hr.  anything more than that and might as well be 12 hours as it wont really make a difference.

Semp, the point is a compromise. 1 hour isn't going to work for what ever reason HTC has for it. 12 hours is too much as posted by many. Maybe 3 hours would be a good compromise. Too long for spies, but short enough to switch once or twice a night to find fights.

Not sure anything will ever change in regards to switch times Fugi, you see although many hate the 12 hours, they still play!!!! what motivation is there to change it when those who want it changed still "pay and play"?


Just a thought!

there's no difference between 3 and 12 when you get stuck because the fights switch among all countries at any time.  I found that out when we had the 1 hour switch time.  I would switch only to find out that 5 minutes later the fight had switched to the country that I came from.

you guys are delusional if you think that 3 hours will make a big difference from 12 hours.
