Title: Need to get rid of 200 ENY penalty limit
Post by: richard_rd on March 30, 2006, 07:24:03 AM

This morning for the past few hours the sides have been:

Knights 21 Players
Bish 39 Players
Rooks 54 Players

   Knights are getting gang raped, by both bish and rook.   HiTech plese consider removing the 200 player minimum from the ENY system.  At least we would have a chance then.  This has been a bloody masacre for the past 2 hours!!!!!!

i would agree that the eny kick in mark should be lowered. not got rid of altogether, but lowered bby a considerable amount, maybe to 100 or 75.

Considering this, dont forget that we ASKED for the limit after ENY sstarted.... because when numbers are low, the RATIO of players can swing widely with just a few people logging.

When ENY first went in, the late night EST crew could see almost unplayable ENYs of 40+ with as few as 15 player differentials.

An alternative:

Maybe rather than a cutoff, HTC could blunt the curve's steepness as the number of players decreases? For example, if the current formula calls for an ENY of 25 with 500 online, the penalty could be cut to 12 when there're under 200 and 8 when under 100.


Since a 50% numbers advantage  hurts more with 500 online than with 50, it makes sense that the ENY penalty could be less...

Just a thought.
