There's usually only one place on the map at any given time where there's any kind of fight going on at all. If there's a hoard going on there people are more than welcome to fly to an empty part of the map and start another fight somewhere else. It's not like you have to go fight and get gangbanged.
You’re right. But the entire point of the game is to fight each other. What’s happening is people are doing just that. Leaving the fight when it gets to imbalanced and going elsewhere which leads to imbalance no matter what ENY is doing. Combating a pair 262s in a D-11 is easy. Combating five when three are just outside icon range and can line you up when you’re unable to see them is a bit more complicated.

I was only saying that to be sarcastic - in response to others who dismiss concerns with ENY by saying "deal with it/Learn to fly another plane/find something else to do.

Dismissing someone's concerns is not a valid discussion tactic.

People are affected by ENY and it does not work as intended. That's my issue

I have no problem dealing with numbers. I just don't appreciate being outnumbered AND getting the shaft with ENY.

I also don't like it when players tell me on the radio "F.... ENY. I'm gonna call it a night"  and then the ENY "worked"  by balancing the numbers.

It's messed up

Honestly, it did work as intended. Just not at the numbers we’re showing now. Personally, I think it should just shut off when the MA is below about 30 players.

If 23 of the 30 is a :::coughbishcough::: horde, that doesn't work either.

The only way you’re getting significantly outnumbered AND have ENY would be that none of your green people are joining you to defend. The fact you have ENY means YOUR team has the numbers advantage so you should be able to have an equal numbers fight at a base defense. That would be like me complaining that since I’m defending a base I should get an advantage just because I’m outnumbered. If that were the case then every time you guys steamroll bases you’d get SLAMMED with ENY.

Also CeeVee, you bish had 2 262s, you and BigR. We had one, me. Way different than being outnumbered with 4 262s like you claim lol

It happens when numbers are low, like me and others have been saying. Less than 40 people on and one side has slight numbers over side two - within only a couple or three or 4 player difference on the whole map, but the fight is against my country and we are actually outnumbered in the fight.

We do get slammed with ENY also and we still take undefended bases easily. So ENY doesn't stop the "TEAM"

Ok so again, you have ENY because you have the numbers and you still roll bases… so what’s the issue here? You’re playing a team game the way it’s supposed to be played. It’s wild that you would complain about ENY yet say you STILL roll bases lmao

At lease you didn't lose it to a rocket from a 110... That's the kill I'm most proud of.

Last comment from HT made on ENY and low numbers is valid to look into and possible tweak.
Also mentioned 5 min AFK may be too short, 30 is too long.
Point being he’s willing to look into finding a honey spot and stated so.

The current change is better.

Sorry to say, players who log on in as a group in AM or after prime time (7p-9:30p CT) when 40% have logged off, you are likely to get ENY. Lrg sqd nights may see it.

It’s rare I see ENY during prime time.

I see it as it needs a tweak and login time may contribute to frustration.

It’s not going anywhere.

The more people repeat the same thing it becomes over-saturated and can become ignored.

Well, the AK's rotate monthly, why don't some of the other big skwads do the same?  Chess-piece loyalty is laughable.
