Request Elimination of Sideswitch Time Limit in Off-Peak
« on: February 28, 2014, 03:30:54 PM »
Requesting a modification to the LW:Main Arena side switch timeout.  

- No penalty for switching to the side with lower numbers.
- 12-hour in-country time limit for map victory perks.


Would prefer seeing it totally eliminated but that may be a bridge too far (although most seem in favor of ditching it altogether).

See this thread for other suggestions.

Good lord, how many threads do you need at the same time for this?  Give it a rest already.
Wag more, bark less.

Overreact much?

Sheesh.

That thread was the discussion regarding the problem seeking a solution.  This thread is the formal request to implement a specific change.

Have a nice day.   :salute

Oh, Ok, then in that case...

-1,000,000

Especially because you posted this 15 minutes after the thread here on the same dang subject.

I'm pretty sure this is how it is set now in the LW arena.

As for the "Formal Request", anything in the wish list is considered a formal request from a player. Adding a "formal" to it isn't going to give the idea any more of a chance of going through.

If HTC deems it something he would change, he will, if not he won't. Look at how many times the this topic has been brought up and the time limitation is STILL in place.

Do you enjoy inventing things to nitpick?

I didn't add the word formal to gain favor.   It isn't even in my original post.  I just used it to explain to MISTER-KNOW-IT-ALL the purpose of this thread and this section of the forum.   Here, let me quote it for you:


REQUESTS FOR NEW FEATURES.

  
The other thread was brainstorming.  This one is the actual request.

As I said, any thread asking/wishing for something IS a request. Adding another thread makes it fall under rule# 3- Do not open a new thread that duplicates a current topic.

You push and bark about things and people who have been here for a long time point out the answers, or give suggestions that you can't be bothered with reading, never mind accepting they may be right and you are not.

Most of us are just trying to help, hey to each his own.

I'm with Vraciu on this. Tired of being stuck where there are no fights, and where nobody will up even when I attack their field.

I don't know what you are even talking about.  I came in here and posted.  There was no other thread on the topic.   I was not duplicating anything.

The thread in General Discussion was a discussion not a request.  That is not duplication.

Maybe I missed something here...

smh

What's he's saying is if you say anything on these forums it's pretty much counted as a wish, even if it isn't an OP or intentional.

I want to see sheep gunners.

^ Bam, wish right there.

That is what fugitive is saying.  Please tell me that you get it.

Also it is a duplicate, because there are multiple other wishes and thread posts that talk on the same topic. Meaning, if they cover the same topic and you make another one, it's considered a duplicate by the forums, even if you don't consider it to be one, doesn't mean it isn't.

Here are the other 'duplicates'.

Just in the last few days. 3 separate posts on the same topic.

Well, if that's how it is here fine.  I was merely following what seemed to be self-evident guidelines.  Game change requests = Wishlist as stated in the heading.

Wasn't flaming you, was just explaining. Sorry if I appeared condescending/insulting.  :salute

No sweat.  I see what you guys mean now.   :cheers:

Although I find it hard to believe Skuzzy can read every post.  Yikes.  That was another reason I posted here.

Not to belittle Skuzzy, but he has very little to do with the game. He is the network, web guy. But he does read a lot of the boards as he's the main guy taking care of it.

Hitech as well as Waffle and Superfly and Pyro, the art and coad writers DO read the boards as well. HTC is a very "hands on" company and watches whats going on very closely.

You can be pretty sure if the idea has merit THEY WILL see it. If its the same idea that someone posted last week and the one before..... wellll

I hope they see it. I hope more they will change it.   It is driving a lot of us nuts, especially the crowd that plays with low numbers.
