I hate ENY.   It is a joke.   Let it roll.  When ENY goes to 29 it kills all the fights.  What's the point?

Yes it is a crutch, for those who want to handicap other players.   Let it play out.   We penalize with ENY and then make balance harder than needed with side switch limits.   

Absolutely mind boggling logic.


I'm sure Arlo has the answers.  /sarc

Ive been taking something of a vacation from the D9 and have been flying the G2 most of the time and having a lot of fun with it when my stick isnt spiking on me LOL

For years I flew the 109F had had pretty good success with that. For a long time I didnt even know what ENY was or why anyone got upset over it.

Arlo.  ^^^^^   Sore knees and lips.   No other option.


Too bad he is exempt from Rule 4. 


(One thing I miss about AH is shooting him down.  Easy kill.)  :rofl

Yes, but when a game feature drives away players it becomes counterproductive.

I personally believe that forum access should be tied to subscription status. However, that idea was unanimously decried by the community (see my thread in the wish list forum).

Considering that, the community isn't really upset about ex-subscribers that post (otherwise they would have supported the idea), they simply don't like people that disagree with them, a majority going so far as to promote or even request said dissenters be banned. Ironic, considering they can't figure out why new players don't want to stay.


Not quite.

Whether you're a paying customer or not, nearly all commentary is useful in some way. 

At first. 

So everyone now knows that the 12-hour rule, the HQ vulnerability problem, the ENY is unfair issue, the inferior graphics, the two-weeks-free-is-not-enough, the bailing bombers, the hostile community, the lack of fighting spirit, all of these things are destroying AH.  Fine.  Might be true.  Might be fixable, might not.  What can be changed, will be changed, if not now then when AH3 comes out.

But we don't need to hear it over and over and over again, ESPECIALLY from people who no longer have skin in the game.  It's become like having a nagging wife chained to your wrist with some folks (looks at Vraciu).  We get it.  We don't need to keep hearing it.

Now there I would be interested on the data you based this upon.

It is too bad that ENY and the 12hr rule are set in opposition to one another.. I would be a part of his data after the 12hr debacle but the community weights more than the game.. I suspect many feel the same.. Very lucky circumstances for a game owner imo..

The squeaky wheel gets the oil, and until there is word, or action from HTC in one way or another the constant threads and post show that people are still upset.

Cobia just dropped HQ because "this map sucks and there isn't anything better to do". Yup thats the kind of action people are going to pay $15 a month for!

Bish did well yesterday with ENY issues they revenged 2 provoked attacks on their HQ. 

I couldn't really break into their mass b24 formations at 20k without getting hurt.  The second run even had experienced escorts that drove away most piecemeal attacks.  Even with advance warning and solid intel / advice they got through both times.  A good example of organised teamwork in the MA.  For those that are moaning about HQ's being dropped that is EXACTLY the way to show the handful of griefers that it won't be tolerated.   An eye for an eye.

I just wish I had some of my squaddies to provide a better challenge one against 20 gets old sometimes.   ;)

This is the problem with anecdotal evidence.  That it rarely affects you doesn't mean the rest of us are unaffected by ENY.  I can assure you it has affected me and my team plenty.   To the point people logoff.  And we all want fewer players because that is great for gameplay.


wonder  how eny affects him,  he doesn't have an account.

ah yes, if some Ahole screws us, lets screw him! bahh BS!

It's that kind of vindictive crap that ruins EVERYONES fun in a game and teaches these kids how to get the crap beat out of them in real life.  :old:
