Title: Bring Back 1 Hour Side Switch
Post by: Banshee7 on February 28, 2024, 10:11:28 AM
The flow of the game changes too frequently to justify a 6 hour time limit on switching sides.  Please change it back to a 1 hour limit.

Add the hands off cv component to switchers too.

It sounds like reducing the timer would be an easy thing to change..

As Banshee7 pointed out the low numbers don't warrant the extreme waiting period now

What do you say HiTech?

I say, keep it at 6 hours and remove the auto side switch thing all together.

I used to use the auto side switch thinking that surely the country with the lowest number would always have a fight, but that's not really the case. 

The night I made this post, I had switched to Bish because there was a good fight going on between the bish and rooks, with bish having the lower number.  Within 30 minutes of switching, the fight quickly turned into a horde (1-2 bish vs 15+ rooks) as the rest of the bish moved to hording a knight base.  And....there I was stuck for the rest of my night having to choose between joining the horde or getting ganged every fight.  I chose to log.

Exactly. The side switch thing doesn't solve the no fight delima. Also, switching to the low #s side can mean there might not even be a fight at all on that side and thus doesn't solve the players intended action they are looking for.

I was hoping Hitech could compromise at 3 hours atleast. 6 hours is just painful when its a decision you have to make for a whole day basically

I'm a mercenary, always.  But when what you described happens - as it has to me - you still have the option to join one of the other countries.  You'll be stuck there for whatever the minimum time is these days.  You'll just have to enable auto-switch the next time you log on.

myself and my nephew have that enabled on the account and so far, we've always been Knights I think. It's good knowing we can change colors at the drop of a hat....once. I'll get my account here soon and let him keep the current. I'll probably play merc despite having a good time with the Knights.

Absolutely agree. It is a dumb problem to have in a game where only 40 people are playing.

Why? On good days I’m all over the place with constant action. It feeds my needs constantly.

Some days I set switched I’m dead in the water and stuck. I feel 2-3 hours would be a happy medium

Well...sometimes we're hired guns, but we roam the skies. BTW Oldman - did you check the last order from the brewery? Something about out of Pilsner ale.

Something tells me the days that anything changes in this game is long  gone....

We have what we have until the day our login fails and AH is officially dead...

Enjoy while you can

Yup that’s where I’m at. Lots of people need to come around on this.
