Please consider removing ENY

[LePaul]

I play late at night when the numbers start to drop.

It seems every night, the ENY climbs on up to 30 or higher, frustrating players like myself who want to up my favorite rides with my squad mates.

I don't trade sides since you 1) We don't fly that side and 2) Doing so means you are stuck there for a day or more.

As a result, I simply log off.  And leaves me one unhappy customer. 

Can you please consider dumping this system?  I've been a player since 2000 and don't understand the notion of denying a player non-perk planes in an effort to side balance?

Just logged due to ENY.  Using this time to look around at other games.

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaah! Sure! You SHOULD be able to grossly outnumber an opponent AND fly your perk planes...hell let's make the perk planes cost less, the more you outnumber someone!

Read the post again, I said NON PERK rides.

No, I read it and was intentionally being overly sarcastic. Whiners gonna whine. If it we your side being overrun by a side which badly outnumbers you, you would then complain about that. Get over it, up earlier war planes (sorry, you will have to learn ACMs) and have fun.

I thrink rather than using eny they should just lightly perk better aircraft as the sides imbalance

Maybe this would keep the whining to a minimum....

A simple fix to this would be to remove 12 hour rule, allowing people to be able to change to another side where ENY is more favorable.

I fly a low ENY bird pretty exclusively, TA152.

ENY does effect the euros more then the rest of us for sure, I catch a glimpse if I play late enough. I don't like not being able to up my main ride, which isn't really ubber at all when you fly it into furballs under 10 K.

I believe Joachim and Cashew both make great suggestions

From my experience, most that complain about ENY on country channel would never change side to fly their plane of choice, even if they freely could.

There is so much I would like to say, but ill keep it short and sweet.  If you are unwilling to change sides because you are chess piece loyal, and then complain about ENY knowing you can change countries, then you have no reason to complain.

the eny Problem stems from low numbers usually something like 30 30 15 or 12 18 24.  the obvious solution would be to change sides.  Then you run into the problem that there is only one furball on the map and going to the low sided number might be abandoning the fight.  Not to mention the 12 hour commitment that must be made to change sides.  Then, in the end it only takes a few guys to log in to eliminate the eny problem.  In the end your left frustrated from chasing your tail and reside back to your kennel.

Seems to me that the obvious solution is to change planes, if you want to stick to your side.  This game has so many nice planes, I've never been able to figure out why people feel trapped into just one or two of them.

ENY encourages players to switch sides, yet the "half day rule" discourages switching.  These two things seem rather at odds with one another. 

For the record, I like ENY but the same can't be said for that other thing.

Turn on perma-radar (radar everywhere, except NOE).
Remove the 12-hour rule.
Leave ENY as it is, or allow ENY to enact perk costs on aircraft based on the value.

Problem fixed. Everyone knows where the fight is, everyone can switch to join or follow the fight, and ENY now has a direct effect to balancing gameplay.
