And you're not HiTech.  :)

But HE IS.

The day you buy HTC's company you are more than welcome to run it as you feel, make your own rules, change what you want and turn it into your own game.

In the mean time abide but the rules of the guy who owns the sandbox.

Please define front seat driver and then let me know if your monthly 14.99 is more than mine, mmmkay?  Let me save you the trouble Rox, it ain't so contribute to why or why not or zip it.

Sorry Goober.

Swing and a miss.

It's not my job to explain my opinion and hold you by the hand and tell you how a guy decides to run a multi-million dollar business decides to run his own business.  

The day you are my boss will never arrive.  

We're talking about the rules and decisions that are up to the folks who own and run the game, not me not you.  If you purchase the company, let me know so I can dump my sub.

Take that up with Hitech.

My $15 bucks a month (yes, I subscribe and play) is no better or worse than anyone elses...yet..I am entitled to my own opinion as anyone else who currently pays a sub and plays just as you do (provided you currently play and subscribe) on this forum, and I will never, in a billion years, have to answer my own personal opinion to you.

Dont like my opinion?  That's not my problem, it's YOURS.

The main problem is at late times (after about 2 am Eastern time, say).  Then even techniques of hanging around a field or wrecking stuff there doesn't sometimes doesn't work.  If one side is getting swarmed, you can switch to it and (1) be guaranteed to find some action and (2) help keep the folks on the undermanned side from logging off in frustration at getting swarmed.

the big question is which side is getting swarmed?  when it was a 1 hr switch time I would change quite often and it was always a hit or miss.  never knew  if the low side was the side that had the fights or if the other 2 were the ones actually fighting each other.  all I knew is that the side I was in, had a couple of fights that would die then I would switch to the other thinking big dar to find myself and middle of base taking with no fights.

just because you see red bar and base blinking it doesnt mean there's actually a fight going on.  more often than not it was just the other guys hitting undefended base.

we do. we're lobbying to change the rule.


our only option is to not play at all during those times.. that's what I do. I don't play when I'd be stuck on a high # side.

so, one less player during those times (the hours before US primetime). I'm sure that's good for the game.

Hate to break this to you but this game is NOT run by democracy.


No, but its viability is.  It is called capitalism.   People vote with their wallets.

A smart business listens to its customers and gives them what they want.  This issue can be resolved with plenty of upside for all involved.

Ultimately the customers "own" it.   Otherwise it isn't a business it is just an expensive toy.

The notion a customer has no right to expect benefits for his patronage is a wee bit daft.

Same here.  Have only played one night out of the last seven in that timeframe.  My squad mates bailed, too.  If I want to fly around an empty arena I can go to Warbirds or pull out MS Flight Simulator.

dude do you get your 15 buck's worth?  I play a few hours a month due to my work.  and yet every time I log in i dont see any shortage of fights.  I dont think I can be the only one that plays aces high that always seems to find a red con or two within 6k of me.

Maybe you 13-15 guys can all log on together and make your own arena where you can own each other all day long ?  :D

 Make the change time 1 month/1camp.

you ever think that most of the player base dont want it changed from 12 hours?  just because you see the same 10 guys in here whining about the 12 hour switch time, it doesnt make it the majority.

dont you think ah would be smart enough to see how many players change sides often v how many just stay put.  if you really want to vote with your wallet then really vote with your wallet and go.  if you are just threatening like a kid who doesnt get what he wants then you seem childish.
