Title: No Squad Auto Switch Teams
Post by: The Fury on August 21, 2006, 02:38:42 PM
What about if all the new players who arent in a squad get auto switched to make the teams even. I know this will solve the whole hoarding thing and one country constantly being outnumbered, therefore less people want to join it because they are losing But if we had auto balance teams i think it would be more fun to actually fight a fair fight for a change. I know a few people wont agree with me because their is a lot of lone wolfs out there who dont want to be in a squad and a lot of people who like it the way it is but i just thought i would throw the idea out there and see what people make of it?

:aok

If you don't love this idea ,you now know why I don't love your.

I dnt have a clue how my posts are offencive i havnt been abusive or used foul language i have just questioned the guy and as far as switching some squad members that wouldnt work now would it because then all the squads would be mixed up but it wouldnt matter if there was a auto balance on players who dont have a squad i have read the posts over and over again and i just cant see any offence. Anyway i will apolagise for my wrong doing and to the people i have offended it wasnt meant to be offencive it was just a question thats all.

How is a new guy supposed to develop friendships that would lead to
help/squad membership if the game tossed him willy nilly every time he
logged on?

Guess you have a reading comprehension problem then.

You're are basically calling him a coward .
Would you be insulted if i called you one?


or how about this..

So now you call him talentless , just because he doesn't like your idea.

But your not done insulting just yet.

Now you call him a perk potato. Once again ONLY because he didn't like YOUR idea.

I hope you have a clue now.

A better way to have a discussion would have been to ask something like this.


captkaos , since you didn't post a reason here how about a pm with your reasons.



OHH and Fury


Have a nice day.

Now to my comments on topic.

Bad Idea... my squad has a few players not in a squad who regularly fly with us all the time.
Why should they have jump around to find the people they like to fly with.

You can say what you want to me im not that easily offended and i wasnt saying it to him i was asking him if they could be some reasons why people wouldnt like my idea did you not notice the question marks at the end? i must have just worded it wrong and i apologised for it. yes you are right about the not getting to know people and get better i didnt really think about that part of it i was just thinking about the amount of players on one team and not the others i suppose if you wanted to make friends you could join a squad but every country is friendly so making friends and getting advice isnt hard for new people.

What Bronk said. And yes, "Fury" your posts were offensive. No, you didn't offend me, I have thick skin. But if you were to "talk" to a friend of mine that way, you would do well to have real thick skin, because I'd be quick to point out how and why you were offensive.

I do understand were you are coming from chaps i really do and like i said i really didnt mean to cause any offence im just not that sort of person and if you all knew me you would know that im not, but obviously you dont know me. I also understand and can accept what i have done wrong i should have worded it a lot better and not been so accusing but i can assure you guys i wasnt meaning all the things you said it just came out wrong. So once again i apologise and i hope that is the last of it and i also hope this post gets wiped off because it was all a mistake and i have caused a whole lot of aggro that i wasnt wanting. I apologise captkaos i didnt mean anything by it at all.

How about once a month we get to vote one person off the game?  I have someone in mind right now. :D

may sound funny to some, but if I were flying right now I'd not want to be switched... I have never flown a sortie or been a bishop even in the 4 years I flew AH. just a principle of the matter. If I were forced to fly as a bishop I'd probably not fly. thats just me

Why does it seem that HT usually responds to new people? ;)

I think what fury is getting at is that new players should get put on the team with the least amount of players in game to even up the numbers.

I see some problems with this also new players wont be beneficial to the country with less numbers because they will all just get killed.

Sometimes Hording can get silly in game but this is mainly due to BOTH countries hitting the same team with less numbers.

Its down to the larger number teams to pick on each other and not the weak  which wont happen.

Title: auto switching sides for balanced play
Post by: Traveler on August 26, 2006, 11:06:13 AM
I don't like the idea.  I have always been a Knight, will always be a Knight.  I've always been out numbered.  But that's like any war I think.  I don't want Aces Hight deciding when I sign on what side I'm going to be on in any arena.  War isn't about balanced sides.  it's about taking advantage.

It's a bad idea and one that has already been beaten to death on these boards.  Try doing a search of the BBS sometimes before you post so you don't sound..well, so redundant.

Sounds to me like "I want other people to be forced to switch countries to even the sides, but I don't switch countries and I don't want to be forced to switch countries to even the sides."

Perhaps the first person in a squad to log on at an unbalanced time automatically puts that whole squad in the country with the lowest numbers? Yeah, that's the ticket! Much more fair and beneficial to the low numbers country than just throwing noobs there that aren't on a squad because you would be switching experienced squads along with noobie squads.

sorry ack ack... Had to reply anyway.

Perhaps you could give players the option to lock country but those who don't care can be autoswitched to even out the numbers.  Just sayin.

HOw about every one that EVER complained about numbers in MA is always forced to fly for country with lowest number?

Yes your right Ack Ack i should have looked in the search for this topic before posting to be honest like i said earlier i wish i hadnt even posted the thing lol. I do switch countries i fly with a different country every month with the squad i am in and this hoarding thing gets brought up quite a lot like Ack Ack said. At the moment it doesnt bother me because im a bishop but i dont care what country i fly with there all the same everyone is friendly but it wouldnt be any good me flying rook or knight if my squad is bishop.
