the side balancing sucks

[VuduVee]

The OP had no issues tonight rolling a contry, whilst there was no fight between his country and the other.

Just like it when it works in your favor?

you sure thats what happened Lazer? or are you stretching the truth, leaving out things that dont fit your little narrative? because what i really did and what really happened is different than your troll here. even this troll isnt what the original post was about is it? the post is about numbers and side balancing isnt it? nevertheless, your comment is bullsh all the way.  my team had less people and took a few bases from yours and bishop. that makes two teams with more people that we attacked and took bases from. your team was furballing with bish werent they? thats a lot different than my post isnt it? my post is about fighting 30 people with 10 people, not about waiting till a team is done furballing before you attack them. in the whole hour i played, i did nothing to contradict anything i said in my post either. so i dont feel like your little comment is useful at all. unless the spite makes you feel good.

They were not the only 2 not really doing anything. There were a few fighting..... Very few. I got the feeling they did not care or want help.

I might add that I have mostly been fighting bish. The rooks do not attack much.

Nope, they don't. I've been a Rook for some months now and have yet to see a mission posted. Dogfighting seems to be the name of the game for most Rooks I've come to know.

The numbers have always been determined by the time of day.  Bishops rule the AM in the US.  We were taking bases with an eny of 29.  As the day progresses the numbers change to at least even

in the evenings EST.  When it gets later then that Bishops are in the minority.  Numbers will always swing.  They always have, and  being here for 18 years it hasn't changed.  Time of day is the reason.

So.....either fly at different times or switch sides.  There have been hundreds of posts such as this in the last 18 years.  Nothing has changed or will.

The amount of ENY related posts has definitely gone up in the last year then in  the previous 10...You say just change sides...which I would agree is the answer but after you change sides you have to stay there for 6 hours....what if I log in around dinner time...switch sides because ENY....come back 3 hours later to fly in the evening and can't switch for another 2 even though the numbers are opposite what they were when I originally switched?

Side switch time needs to come down from 6 to under 3 AT LEAST.

[Lazerr]

The current uprise in ENY posts is connected directly to the lower numbers in the game.

With these low numbers, 2 or 3 players logging in or out can make ENY swing widly.  Connect that to the 6 hour side switch.  How do you expect that to work?

Calm down Vudu.. life goes on.

   As a long time Rook  I remember the knits were the team that was always outnumbered but put up the best fights. 
    Rooks are on the ropes now but we are still: 1 Rook = 3 Bish , 1 Rook = 2 Knits      

When I was active, I would fly primarily bish and nit, as rooks and nits would tend to have the better sticks on them and were more fun to fight. Bish were sort of the red-headed step children then but I still loved em'.

Get ready for forced side-switch?

You should go back to that thread and ask Hitech, only real answer you will get.

This is what I see as the problem to this. And one person switching sides isn't really going to change much with more than 50 players on. That's why I think a 3 hour time switch would be better and still works out in a 24 hour time span. 3 hours means that players can switch back to their original team or to another low country team without "spying" or other team awareness. I find that most fights and action in a particular area don't last longer than 1.5 hours, unless it's a TT.

Also, the maps and bases need to be smaller and closer together, this would condense the action and create a better natural side balance.

He will answer if he feels the need.

No penalty for switching to the low-side would remove a lot of disincentive.

I dont know the details of the forced switch concept, but if you thought ENY were bad, this will really tick people off.

Unless you somehow incorperate a two sided war into the equation. 

I know its been tried before, but this was long before perks, ENY, and about every other aspect of tactical gameplay.

At least if I (willingly) switch countries I have a 50% shot of being stuck in the right place for 6 hours, not 33%.

Think about it.. no whiners about a certain country getting ganged, ENY would level out, and there would be more action/bigger fights on maps.

C'mon

You were adding the other two teams together against yours. That just plain is not true. What usually happens is the two with numbers get in a fight. This allows the low number team to attack either side or both.
