It's funny that people say it's a whine. It's actually a mechanism of the game affecting me not anything other than being punished for what others cried about. A vocal minority who cry about numbers.


I'll tell you what. I would love to have imbalance numbers and be on the imbalance side and not have this eny roadkill.

The numbers on a given team on any given night or just basically an ebb and flow and a random kind of thing. That's to be expected it's nobody's fault that the numbers are the way they are. It's not my fault for sure. If I log in all I want to do is have fun for an hour or two. I don't want to be screwed out of that time by being extremely limited on what I can do in the game simply because the numbers are slightly in balanced


It's extremely offensive to me to be getting a leg up to somebody else at my expense for something that is in no way my fault or under my control.


When I log in I have no co what makes that other person's game experience more valuable than mine? Because they have five players on their team and I have eight? Screw that.

Are you (all?) so tied into your skwad/country that you cannot consider using the several other options available?
Surrounded by suck and underwhelmed with mediocrity.
I'm always right, it just takes some poepl longer to come to that realization than others.
I'm not perfect, but I am closer to it than you are.

Lets put it this way....... You play a certain type of music. You enjoy it, its fun. Unfortunately for you not many others like what you play. To them its too loud, maybe too fast, what ever. Sure you can play it to your hearts content, but your not going to make any money on it. Venues wont hire you because you dont draw in the crowds and the crowds are where they make their money.

Aces High, is here to make money. Removing ENY would create more and more lopsided population. Over time those being on the low numbered side all the time end up quitting.

Another thing, Aces High IS a TEAM game, whether you play it that way of not. I doubt very much that Hitech would model the game to align with one, or a few players. He is going to make it work for the larger group..... more money.

Now, could ENY be work on? Yup, but is it worth the time and effort at this point. Im sure the ENY numbers could be reworked, and I would love to see an "Area ENY" that way when you have more players than the other teams but are fighting both teams on two fronts. ENY shouldnt kick in so much in those cases.

Sometimes when we have eny and I see the perk bonus above 2 I switch countries… then I get the benefit of no eny AND I get perk bonus :)

My squad is chill with it and thankfully so, otherwise I wouldn’t be in that squad :rock
