Who Loves ENY?

[Copprhed]

ENY does what it's intended..if you don't want to switch sides, or fly a different plane, tough, quit whining like 12 year olds. Or better yet...don't let the door hit ya on the way out. Some players leaving would be no loss.....

Excellent philosophy!. (Or not.)   A tad shortsighted but hey, it's a free country.

And now Deep Thoughts, by Killer V....

"Once I mocked everyone for complaining about ENY.  'It works as intended!' I laughed.   Then one day I found myself the only player in the arena and my ENY was 35.   That wasn't so funny."

You've always seemed to have a bit of trouble with the words 'everyone', 'all', 'many', majority' and Cod knows you've wanted to be important here.

...and so my plan to turn a discussion about a game feature into an incoherent flame war has succeeded!

[bozon]

Welcome to my point! How can I run away from a fair fight properly without my pony-d runstang?!

by using your pony-b runstag?

We all know the purpose of eny but the problem is say Bish have 30 and nits have 15 and rooks have 15 it is still 30 to 30 but bish are handicapped severely. Just throwing out numbers and examples. I would not mind it if somethings like the Warble was not taken away because of ENY  and a a couple of tanks so there would at least be a fighting chance for the country with high eny numbers. Oh well it is Dales game to run as he wishes. I have seen players get so frustrated and quit the game though.

Like I said.... You do not understand eny. There are three sides so using your method of math is could also be 30 against 0.

I think ENY would be maybe better off if there was a perk cost rather than delisting the plane.

There has to be more ways to spend perks, and this is one way. That way the people still get to fly their plane if they can afford it in the game.

Personally, I think once the maps are better designed to promote action on all 3 sides, the #s will become neutral again.

The problem with the current map that's on today is, the large TT area creates a barrier between the teams. If all the bases merged into the middle, all 3 sides could be apart of the action. I'm not talking about a TT or Furball island, but merging the teams closer together with base layout would make a big difference.

This might work if the LW planes were handicapped more than they are now perk wise. Meaning you are awarded even less perks when flying them than you are now. Also when you buy them out of eny you receive no perks in that flight.

I could agree with that!

Still think ENY should only make those rides affected by it become perk planes on a sliding scale as it gets more imbalanced.

You want you 51D? Fine. Just costs you 5 perks to fly it. Odds are 300-1 and you still want that 51 for the gang bang? Fine. Now it costs 1000 perks.

Totally support that idea!

The ability of this community to debate any subject into inanity is legendary. Suggestions piled on ideas piled on foundation of the bodies and minds of PLAYERS. HiTech, you got to decide what to do, not the community. People here will continue to choose what they are doing right NOW and you can see how that works. 

The bottom line is this.

1. THE GAME KEEPS SHRINKING. Anyone who believes otherwise has their head firmly tucked into the sand.
2. The game keeps shrinking because it becomes less fun than reruns on TV. That is the competition in this age set and a low bar.
3. ENY makes people log off because it shrinks the pool of players for WHATEVER REASON. You can attack the messenger or see what is.
4. ENY is a condition of AH, when ENY or anything else is too onerous people will watch TV.
5. HTC what are you going to do? It is ok that the answer is more of the same but keep in mind it gave us the game of today.
6. This is a suggestion, do what you want. If you do what you want till the place is empty, that is your prerogative.
7. Marking out the planes you can't fly put a bandaid on a spurting artery. It didn't solve the problem.

You gotta be smarter than the debate. You will always find someone to represent the tiny number of users doing something. You have to decide what will make this game grow. There will be lots of people standing by the grave of AH if it tanks saying, "If they only did what I had in my head" but few of them have ever been game designers or ever will be. Believe it or not but its has been obvious where things are headed for YEARS. You live and die by your choices. If you want things to be different you have to make different choices. Look at the trail of choices leading to here and do something different that what has always been. 

I will respectfully suggest that the graphics upgrade didn't do it to the extent that is needed by itself. AH3 is not close to regaining the former glory of 800 people in an arena.

I'll humbly suggest that this game needs working change, not more debate. The debate in this community leads right here.

Thanks!

A solid, tactfully presented case. 

In the meantime I suggest coming up with ways to interject the game into social media.   Talk radio, Facebook, bumper stickers, email signatures, whatever it takes. 

Just throw the game name around--a lot. Gratuitously if necessary.  Spread the word.

It's not me debating. Quite frankly most people on this board think very very inside the box for changes.

You must be musing something then about ENY in general.......
