ENY - get rid of it

[glzsqd]

People don't log to keep another country from winning lol.

When the ENY goes up the truly good pilots could care less they just adapt and overcome, now if all you fly is the low ENY dweeb planes to get your Kills then that sounds like a personal choice to stay one dimensional in the game.

Never really have an issue with ENY.  I think it is the solution to overpopulated sides.  Case in point, one chess piece had 40 while the other two had less than 20 people online.  I was on one of the lesser teams, if I was on the high side team, I would have switched.  Simple. 

I do think the 12 hour rule is a bit long though.

I have lost count of the times I have logged off due to ENY.  I am sure I am not alone.

I understand the concept but in low pop situations it is unworkable IMO. And , let's be honest, we are at low pop for most of the day.

Just let people fly!!!  it really is as simple as that!

Now, for all you guys that are going to come back at me and say 'fly a <xxx> it is a great challenge'  I hear ya, I really do ...BUT  the reality is I do not WANT to fly that plane.  I would rather log off, in fact I do log off.  I go spend time in another game!!!

I am not alone.  Please do not bury your head in the sand.  ENY is not good given the low numbers in game.  You invite players to play then you stop them playing what they want.  It has to be hurting the game and IMO is needs to be changed.

 

Let me guess, your mother still holds you at night because you are sad about Lassie getting shot???

If you can't stomach having to fly a plane that is a wee bit more of a challenge to fly, then how the F do you make it through a day of real life???

ENY wont let you take the La7?  Then try the La5.  Cant take the P51D, try the P51B. No F4U-1A?  How about the -1???  No B29?  Try the Lancasters or Liberators.

Seriously, the ENY is a good for the game. Now go get some more tissues, because Lassie is going to get shot again.

Right now Rooks have the numbers advantage in LW pretty much all the time. Late at night when we start to roll bases numbers dramatically decrease when this starts. Normally that kills ENY and without easy mode any momentum is lost. For players who care less about the war they won't notice it but i have seen it time and time again. Sometimes the best defense is to log and kill ENY.

ummm so you think people should stay logged in instead of getting some sleep for the next day? 

No they are not collectively loggin off to create an ENY issue on the team rolling bases with numbers.

Let me say it a different way...

People DO log to kill ENY in the hopes that the affected will stop trying to take bases at certain times during the night. It happens a lot. I never see it happen during the day.

[Masherbrum]

I am a one trick pony, please don't make me learn other planes.

[DREDIOCK]

Why log due to ENY?

I just up a different plane till it changes back

I earn my pay one way or the other.

The other benefit of taking a different plane is you get to learn other planes so you can more easily kill them

Because it takes effort to learn another plane.....

Exactly! also requires a lot more team work if your pushing on an NME base. High ENY can be a blast like this morning when we rolled the map. Nothing like upping He111's  to clean up gv's or smacking town or a P38G for a Jabo run.

[hgtonyvi]

ENY doesn't bother me at all since i'm mostly in the f4u-1.

[waystin2]

The OP's post is ignorrunt.

[bustr]

You don't need ENY or  the side switching time changed if all you truly want is to flip the map. Wishlist to have the town down percentage reduced to 10% based on arena population. At that point three guys with 110 can sneek bases in the LWMA during the hours in question.

Otherwise there be a pandemic of sissys in this latest generation of players.

Waystin you need to make Lawndart give back all those prairie oysters he harvests in the game for his weekend BBQ's. Well at least stop paying krupnski and Junky by the pound. It's sad reading these post by those most affected.

[Tracers]

The problem is not with ENY itself it is with how it is calculated. Many times i have seen 2 countries with both having double the people in flight as the third country that has high ENY.

Why? Because it is calculated based on players logged in not players in flight. Many time I have seen 5 or 6 people from one country in flight with the other 2 countries with 10 or 15 players in flight each and the country with 5 or 6 actually playing inflicted with ENY because there are 30 or 40 people from that country who have stayed logged on and gone to bed.

This tends to be worse when a country is close to winning the war and a bunch of people head off to bed but stay logged in to claim thier 25 free perks when the war is won.

A couple of ways this could be avoided is rather than base ENY on number of players logged on but base it on amount of players in the air, or players that have been active (playing ) in the last 15 mins. Or bring in auto boot players that have been inactive for 15 mins or more.

My 2 cents

[Slash27]

id rather see the 12 hour rule go away than the eny system altogether.
