I'm sure Dale already is doing stuff like this. He's a smart feller!
But things like ENY.
I would love to see some kind of real data run on the effects of it on gameplay and players either logging out, switching sides or sitting in the tower waiting for it to go away.
My feeling, based on nothing other than just my anecdotal evidence in my own personal feelings, are that people will sit in the tower for a while waiting for ENY to get less severe or go away, or if it persist for a long time they will log off.
Again.... Only my opinion and feeling, but I also feel that it does not fulfill its intended purpose in the way that is intended. Like it might actually balance the sides a little bit, but I feel that it does it at the expense of people logging off rather than switching size to equalize the numbers.
I would love to see statistics.
The other thing would be squads and how often people switch sides to balance numbers just on their own or whatever. How people use their perks. Like is loading up on perks something a lot of people do and they don't really use them a lot? Does it really incentivize people to get perks or is there another way?
There's lots of things that could be studied now probably easily with AI so that you can gather some really good information on how the game works and what effects what
