limit eny when we have low players

Yup it was a great fight, then eny hit, pigs logged off, fight ended.

So if the local fight numbers were even, as a country there was probably a fight not too far away where your countrymen had extreme numbers advantages and were rolling bases unaffected.  The ENY allowed the low side to concentrate on the fight they felt was important at the detriment of the other bases. But overall they were still losing the war.

Sure when the 2 low sided countries both fight the high side it might seem unfair to have ENY but those "alliances" are fleeting and it wont be long before one of the low sided countries gets ganged. Then a lack of ENY would be even more unfair.

In a 3 way fight, it's up to each country to find a way to try and win. If you have a numerical advantage you have to deal with ENY. It's the most fair solution to an unfair situation if you are unwilling to switch sides.

Atlau, this thread was not about getting rid of eny, but lowering to maybe 20 max. And only getting rid of it when a handful of players are on.

You're right regarding the original subject (though it devolved to ENY as a whole.

That being said I still think ENY should function the same with low numbers. 2v6 is just as bad as 20v60

Many of us have been around here for a very long time, Bustr included.  HTC has acknowledged the notion that people will simply get tired of a game they’ve mastered.  I doubt that ENY can really be a fundamental problem for long-time players, simply because, by now, they should be good virtual pilots in nearly any plane - especially if they fly with a squad like the Pigs.  So I see the ENY complaints as an excuse for boredom, not as a genuine reason to quit.

Well, you would be wrong.  For many it is indeed a reason and a valid one.   Dismissing it doesn't make them keep their subscriptions.

So you'd rather quit than switch sides because you cant fly your plane of choice 100% of the time while having a numerical advantage.

I'd imagine people would also quit if they are constantly outnumbered by uber planes...

ENY is a not a perfect solution.

Find something fun to do with no compromises or limitations.

It already takes me forever to find a fight with only ten or twenty people spread all over the map.  Having my ride of choice constantly ENY'd only adds to the aggravation.    We've already explained why switching sides isn't an effective solution the way things are set up right now    At some point it simply isn't worth it any more--or is at least time to take a break, depending on the person.

I guess yall play at odd times US. I understand folks across the pond play too. I never see less than about 80 or 90 so I'll sit back and wait for someone to have a better idea.

You have to be careful when comparing your experience with others as I have found out. Since this is a 24/7 game, it needs a 24/7 solution that accounts for low traffic times without alienating those players that game during the low number hours.

ENY should be scrapped and the perk point system revamped to accommodate a 24/7 high/mid/low number game cycle.
