maybe the three country system needs an adjustment

[redcatcherb412]

Each side has their positives and negatives. I have flown all sides and they all horde, they all hide in ack, they all run. The difference is always the people. Each side has good people and each side has tool bags. Just depends which group of people you like best. I fly with a great group on knights currently, every night is fun.

In the years i've played i've switched sides one time. It was a squad switch. With the exception of 1 or 2 squaddies the entire squad 1 by 1 migrated back after the 24hrs expired. Being considered spiez by the switched to country players just cause you had killed them a few times got old for most. Some just find a niche and are happy in it.

1 hour side switch 

Fact is there is a large portion of this community who would love to beat up lemmings as a rook in the situation...why not let them have the chance instead of forcing a side on them???

How long does the Average Aces High player stay active online (removing the tower sitters)? 2-3 hours at a time? Then they should be able to switch and switch back within that time. Is it 6? Then 2 switches within 6 hours...

One switch is plenty. Multiple switches in a single log would merely result in radical see-sawing (like ENY whiners claim already exist). I bet you see an invitation for you to duel my entire squad in this post, somehow.

I log in and look for a red Dar. If I see one I'll fly there for a couple sorties. Then the base gets taken or they drop our fighter hangers and I'll just log out.

So Rooks get access to twice the number of fights that Bishops and Nights do..............?

There is no real problem to being out numbered or even ganged by a horde............. because there is no denial of access to game play.

There is a problem when two sides end up fighting each other and ignoring the third........... that's why land grab is so important........... a side ignored grabs land until it can be ignored no longer.

Incorrect. 

We usually ignored on our side of the map while the Nits and Bits purse fight on the other.  We don't capture bases fast enough to matter.   


Two sides?   Count me in.

With low numbers I think a two sided front would be best really.

During one login during primetime I can just about always watch at least 2 major shifts, sometimes 3 in a period of about 4 hours. On a weekend day, over the course of the day just about every side has ENY at some point.  The sides swing frequently over the course of a day.

I really doubt it could get much worse than it already is if it changed to a 1 hour side switch timer.

If 2 sides was tried, and I do not think it will be tried, I would want to have the game put everyone on the lower side as they logged in.  I would want to solve the squads being together by having your squad and only your squad able to invite a squad member to switch sides to the same side as the squad was on.

Couldn't agree more.

hitech already said no to the idea of a 1 hr switch time several times.  I dont understand why you guys keep bringing it up.

Because even an intransigent can change his mind if given enough evidence.   (I say this generally, not specifically.)

Three sides isn't working any more.

Three sides is working.  It isn't perfect.  You are guessing that 2 sides will work better.

please post the evidence.  I would love to see it.

I'm sure you would.

I can't post evidence that 1 hour works better because the only real proof would be to change it in the arena.

I can point out that the numbers swing wildly in much less time than the 6 hour side switch time under the current system.  If the wild population swings are already happening over a much shorter time than the currently implemented "damper", seems to me the damper isn't doing much.  Further, it appears logical to me a shorter switch time might actually smooth out some of those peaks and valleys if people were inclined to switch.
