You guys play the game much more than I get to so you know the base better than I...

I do wish you could switch sides faster when the action stops for the side you're stuck on..

I do not see how or why the 6 hour switch over rule is still in effect. I understood it years ago when NOE missions were going on all the time and they would cry SPY.

With the current #s, 6 hours is way too long to switch countries. They should consider it 1 hour at most.

Which is weird, I was just thinking 12-24 hrs. Recently some noticed a player fighting on one side’s attack battle, 5 min later in opposite side fighting against the same battle. IMO, that’s not a fair situation.

And again, MA numbers are low from past years but the head count active in the MA hasn’t changed since my 22 return. MA numbers are still 90-120, same exact as then. Anyone can back-walk me on that. Lower subs has not affected it much. It MAY be 5-10 lower on average. Two different numbers.

The numbers are lower than 24 because we built it to 200 during MotA from 90-120. That was not the norm. Our efforts to get that were destroyed by antics allowed here.
, mostly by disgruntled former players.

If you remove those 2 months of 24, its the same. Almost a flat line.

HT has a running graph, I’m confident it would show that to be true.

The masses just don’t seem to want to help themselves by keeping the word out. They tend to just whine about it.

Why is this an issue? They are just looking for a fight. If they are Knights fighting Rooks and they get tired of being IN the gang (Knights out number the Rooks), they switch to Rooks to fight AGAINST the gang. Its not like are carrying the secrets to the Normandy landing or something, they are just looking for a fight. How is it "not fair"?

Id like to see the switch time dropped again too.

As often as it becomes lopsided and unfun..the switch time should be eliminated being replaced with how many times you can switch during a specific time..

For those of us that don't live to play the game we should be able to switch whenever we want to if that is what it takes to enjoy yourself..

As I only play an hour a day I should be able to switch sides whenever I need to for my $15 ..

Again a very minor change that could easily be tested to see if it makes the game better or worse..

Personally I don’t care.  Some seem to.

Knits  don’t outnumber rooks nor bish at prime time. If it happens its very rare.
Knits have been getting ganged 4 days in a row now.

What kills me, some of these switchers tend to go to the ganging side, why I pointed out when one player was in question. Last night another did the same. The ones in question blame auto switch, but when I look it’s always the side with higher numbers. This group do it to pad their scores with easy gang bang kills. They claim to use auto switch, basically that is BS. I can keep a chart on a few to easily prove my point. Several are not helping fight the gang bang but joining it. I could list at least 3-4 names that do that right now.

There are some who authentically use auto switch, I can name those too.

That said it bothers others more than me. I just hate liars lol

I think in AW it was 24 hrs. <shrug>

If you open the "roster" in the game any player with his name in green lettering in on the autoswitch.

Auto switch doesn't guarantee that you will be put on a side that there's even a fight..just the opposite quite alot and is why I don't do it much anymore..

Pretty easy to just manually switch upon login by reading dar.  Unfortunately like last night, when you beat the gamey hoarders down, they switch to the other front.

That is where the 1 hrs switch would be grand.

Find the mass looking for easy kills/bases.

The rely on one of two things.. mass advantage or gamey tactics.

It shows when you get them secluded.
