Time for ENY to go

[DREDIOCK]

I think a variation of this has merit.  A plane effected by ENY suddenly costing a few perkies but you can still fly the plane.  I like this!

 

Gives more meaning to the perk system. Especially with bombers which are rarely used. and even for fighters it gives more reason to try and acquire perks.
I dont use perks a lot. As a result I probably have enough perk points which at this point are in the thousands to fly nothing but 262s for an entire tour.
More with the reduced frequency that Ive been flying lately

rather then restrict access to any specific plane.
assign perk values to all planes. When eny kicks in you can still fly the plane you like. But it costs you perk points. Connect the perks to ENY. Thus a FW D9 would cost more perks then say an A-5

I really like this idea the best.

We do need more things to spend perks on

It would keep people flying instead of logging off.

Not every one wants to switch teams.

The time change rules practically discourage it.

[Ack-Ack]

I liked how the zone limits worked in AW as opposed to the ENY in here but then ENY never effects me as I always have a plane I can fly.

The trouble with spending perks to get out of ENY restrictions is the same as with the perk system generally, but worse: it gives the sweet rides to the players who need them the least, and keeps them out of the hands of the players who need them most.

ENY + 12 hour side switch is awful. It kills the game late night. You switch but because there are only 30 people on in another hour you're back to a 29 ENY, and now you're stuck with it all night. And half the time your ENY is only high because half your side is afk for the rest of the night - you can easily have the lowest number of actual active players but a high ENY.

When I go to the MA, every time, there is a 90% chance that bishops will have as many players as both other sides combined. There is no ENY problem, except that it's not doing what it's intended to. Isn't it still automatic that new players are put on the bishop side? That should stop.

In total agreement here. Albeit in AW I believe it was due to technological limits if  remember correctly. However unintentional it was all around the best system yet. And it spread the fight over a wider area as well as better represented that one air base cannot support an unlimited number of planes at one time.

18 players in game.  ENY in effect.  Stupid

The switch time is 6 hours, which is still 5 hours too long.  HTC fixed something that was not broken and as was said earlier, ENY and the side switch timer work against each other.

Getting rid of ENY would be worse than it is now.  Imagine if you could fly Tempests and such all the time and you wanted to win the war all the time (you paid your $15, you should be able to fly what you want!) - most people would gravitate to a single country, as there would be no downside to doing so.

This is the rub right here.

When I log on to a deserted map and get hit with ENY I log off.  I don’t mind flying other planes, but when I’ve been away for a few days I want a few reps in my Mustang first.  It’s depressing/annoying. 

I would not even turn ENY on until at least 75 players are in the arena (or something like that).

Sure! Let's get rid of ENY, so that all the bish can fly the low ENY planes, and let's get rid of the time limit on side changes so that the bish can go to the other sides, see what is going on, where the sneak attacks are, and where the CVs are. SURE!!! The bish should have 3 times the numbers everyone else has combined, should fly any uber planes they want and switch sides to spy all the time. I'm sure that would up the numbers...Hell I'm going to stop anyway, tired of fighting 50 bish to 1 knight...and yes that may be an exaggeration, but not by much.

[Max]

Let's just get rid of The Bish....Bish are POO!

I mostly GV and I use the M-8 ALLOT. I die more than I live, but the perks just keep pouring in whether I kill a Panzer H, shoot down a radar, get some autoguns, or just simply pick on poor Scotty.    I have enough perks to Use Tiger II's every night for at least a month, but there is no challenge to using an awesome tank like that. Killing Tiger I's, Panther G's, T-34/85's is a challenge with the M-8. I often die trying to get one because one shot and I'm in the tower. But when I do get one.....high fives all around. 

ENY is never a factor if you use a non perked ride, stick with that ride and learn it. Same for planes. Get good in a mid war plane and you can take on just about anyone under the right conditions (alt advantage attacking from the sun) and crank out the perk points so you can take out those expensive rides when ya feel like it. Read Boelcke's Dicta. You can also get some of those achievements. The C-2 is a fun plane. Leather seats too.

Sometimes the T-34/85 is not available because my country has way way more players than the others, so I go right to the M-8. Killing two Wirbs or two planes on the runway is an easy 10 perk pts regardless of the ENY at the time.

Once in awhile in the evening I do not see any GV fights........so I start de ackin'g a v base.........they come out looking for that M-8 and before long there are lots of gv's from both sides having a fun battle.

ENY never stops me from having fun.

Someone take note of the whine and pass a kleenex. I do not understand what is so hard for you to understand,  when Bish out number the other two sides the other two chess pieces quit fighting each other and double up on Bish, happens all the time. So if Bish have 35 players on and nits have 18 players and rooks have 20 players it is in reality 38 to 35. Plus Bish have the eny to contend with while being double teamed. So here is your kleenex.
