Ancedotal or for real?

[Animl-AW]

Apparently the Rooks thought so...

I don’t think morning/day numbers prove much besides dweebery.

Lately, bish and rooks ate least throw their full country hordes at each other in prime time.

Just keep in mind, when these countries horde up against you they leave their whole country unprotected open game. Use that to split them up.  6-7 players are not going to win against a 20-30 horde, go offensive somewhere else in 1-2 other places. Don’t waste your time. Split em up they don’t fair well when they have to watch their own 6, take them out of their comfort zone.  If you stay defensive on a lost cause you just feed them.

I dont think its the "horde" that is running off the players so much as the "type" of fighters that is running off most fighters.

Its a combination of both but the crowd now is often focused on numbers rather than quality. No matter how great you are, you will always loose with overwhelming number disadvantage.

Now if the mass horde is HOing everything too, well, its not rocket science.
Which suggest, if you’re always losing, its not fun. No fun, no play. Its that easy. It’s not some mythical lost reason.

Nit have no large sqd, to throw at it, so they go after the weakest link and then battle cry superiority.

Both issues brought up, those players will avoid change if they have to chew their own leg off to maintain SOP.

No affect? Nits numbers cut by 1/3.

Wasted words, wasted players.

Horde wins the map.

 

Horde disppears after perks awarded.

30 minutes later, and none of the other horde came back.

   

Seems like perk points are a large motivational factor.

wish I could play at these times, the Joker horde is so easy to stop.  Hard to believe Huckster is still a member of them, they really don't care about ethical gameplay.

Great example of what ruins the otherwise healthy competition in ranks and scores. So ya really have to take it with a grain of salt.

I’ve also been watching other certain activities that just don’t pan put.

So smaller maps with fast turnaround times should provide more perks with each win thus more ppl trying to be on when it gets rolled...

We need faster map flips obviously since this - perks - is the motivation of most in this game..

Not sure what fun it is to roll basically empty bases..but to each their own..$15..

I doubt that "awarded Perks" has anything to do with it.

1. I know half of those guys have been around about as long as I have, and as Im no superstar Im sure they have thousands of perks like I do.

2. Why would they need perks? They cant use them most of the time because their team is under ENY most of the time they are on.

Im sure these guys just like to win the map, period. Would explain why they dont come back, already accomplished what they wanted for today.

This is where the switching teams time should be changed. Under 30 player total population, you can change every ten minutes. I think it player "knew" that the fight couldnt "disappear" by the Bish moving to the other front they might show up more in the morning and oppose them more.

Not sure I understand why perks in the day can’t be used at prime time.  They don’t go away unless you spend them, right?. What am I missing here?

Most of them only play in the morning.

Some maps are more popular than others, according to many of the people who post on these message boards. Some say they log off when they see a map they dislike. It would be interesting to plot daily player numbers over, say, the last six months based on which maps are up to measure how true this is. Is that even doable? I'm not sure. There would be a lot of variables (time of day, how many hours or days the map stays up, day of the week, etc). Maybe our resident statistician can weigh in?

Word has it that Mindanao and Buzzsaw have been taken out of rotation. Were there really significantly fewer players on when they were up? I didn't get that impression, but I don't always fly in my evenings, so if it happened, maybe that's when?

I really liked them both, and never lacked the opportunity to do something interesting on either.

only the weak and binary celebrate the death of the saw.

A lot of folks continue to miss out on the game within the game.


May the baaaahhhh be with you, always

I show up as opposition and have 3 capable players, we little big horn Bishlam and taking bases.


I show up with 7 capable players we hit your strats, attack 3-5 bases every 30 minutes, you are losing ground. Lose too much the baaahh will light the candle at your HQ


I show up with 23 the rest of u Phil’s quit in protest because I cheated and paid off some Chinese bots with cheat code in the mouse to break the game…… again




The chat on bishop country when I start baaahhing all over bishlam is comparable to left-wing political protesters full of men who grew out their hair and cosplayed as daisy from dukes of hazards just to feel like they have been robbed of what is owed to them for just showing up.

Like Aces High hands out participation ribbons where everyone is a winner.

It is weird to just get by and talk, playing a combat flight sim in a RTS where every second invested is another second delayed from tower.

I only GV and fly buffs basically so I haven’t been playing much anymore even after returning due to the fact that I can’t be on at primetime and basically every other time by prime time it’s 15-30 bish vs 2-5 knits and rooks. I’m probably leaving this game again due to this fact that there seems they won’t be solving this anytime soon. Theres no buff flight worth it now. They follow the DAR wait and then use 88s or sitting at 30k waiting. Same with GVs and spawn points..just too big and not that enjoyable anymore. I am one of those who logs in and either logs out of just jump back to watch the Jerry springer show on 200 because that’s become more enjoyable than the game play with the map sizes in comparison to numbers. These maps are too large for even players between 150-250

[Eagler]

If it wasn't for fighters many wouldn't be playing this game..

Glad to see some enjoy bombers and gv's...that's like watching paint dry for some of us..
