Nothing says 'dont play here' like ENY
« on: October 19, 2020, 10:54:22 PM »
Seriously,

I Love what Aces High is. I love the 24/7 open arena combat, and I honestly love the older A/C. They just flew better IMHO. Forcing players to get their butts handed to them time and again by forcing them to operate inferior craft is making me re-consider my participation in the game.

in before :
 - Bro just switch :
 -- Sides
 -- Craft
 - Git gud.

And please, stop trying to micromanage how people enjoy the game. ( Sans hacks )

The only real solution to aircraft disparity is rolling time frames. War wasn't meant to be be fair, stop trying to 'level the playing field'.

Tell me what other air combat sim ( Game W/E ) has a 24/7 perpetual environment and I will stop petitioning to have ENY removed in AH.

I know this has been debated over and over. I am sick of it, and am considering saving my money for other games.

Obviously you don't understand why there is eny.

No one has to be under eny, they just choose to.

This was tried in Warbirds back in 90s. It ended with disaster. during early war numbers fell so flat that game died in the end.

The irony is strong with that one.

You know this is a game, right?

I understand why HT implemented ENY, I was there when he did it. With a large player base it kinda worked and wasn't so drastic. With the lower player base it's just retarded.


I didn't expect any other answers and have already deleted AH from my drive. Sad day but here's to looking for something better. I will check back from time to time and see what's changed, but it just feels like Hitech has given up on AH.

Define lower player base, if the players evened out it wouldn’t matter, that never happens. Instead of 45 players splitting between 3 teams one side rolls with a 31 to 10 to 4 advantage. More often than not I’m on that 4 and if you’re telling me I have to defend against 51D’s, Spit16’s and Dora’s I’ll just log and you can roll undefended fields and pat each other on the back. That’s clearly what you want.

Another 'fit and quit' thread has been recorded. (A bit redundant, too, considering there was already an ENY 'discussion' active.)

then count entire fit and quit for entire squadrons that have gone. Pigs On the Wing being one of the many. It's got a handful of stragglers.

THe idea is the leaving will be noticed by HT, which sure has been felt in the pocket book. W/e.

Enjoy yourselves.

Too bad you were unable to learn to fly a midway or earlier War plane effectively. There are folks in game that would have been happy to help you had you asked.

That is not all that fair. When there are 5 people on one side and 15 on the other 2, ENY kicks in. This is a common situation in the MA today and the system was not designed for 35 people. It does not work when there are so few people on, it only starts to work once there is about 70 people on. ENY should be turned off until each side has at least 10 players.

Truth. The game mechanic that was created for hundreds is completely broken when sides get down to dozens.

This.

Or just perk the planes as the ENY increases.

Switching sides is boring as there might not be a fight over there.

People want action, not flying Microsoft flight simulator in your P51 after switching sides to a team with 5 players who aren't doing much and who aren't being attacked.

I switched to the low #s side the other day, the fight died after an hour. I was stuck. My team with the low #s were now hoarding the other side. The other teams began fighting each other. I left as it was boring and couldn't switch back.

By eliminating planes during off hours, ENY is merely just giving a great incentive to log off as you cant fly what you want, and unfortunately can't play any other time periods. It's a great damper on the off hours players to not get to fight the way you want.

I honestly don't blame the guys for these complaints.

A low #s team is only fighting 3-5 guys anyway, that's really not an embalance if your low #s team is fighting against them. A 3 on 5 fight is normal and sometimes even the low #s team has more players in the current fight.

Yet you stay on the high number side.........  :headscratch:
