This is the perfect argument for enforcing the limit no matter how many are online...
(http://www.brewsterbuffalos.com/balance.jpg)
And who do you you think they are all attacking?
-
The numbers for Knights have been ugly like this most USA mornings M-F from 04:00 EDT to around Noon. Its been like this for almost a year now.
I have started at least two threads addressing it and have replied in at least 6 others like yours.
HiTech is just ignoring the situation. The current way ENY works in the MA with it not kicking in untill 200 people are online is a joke. Why HiTech refuses to address this issue is unknown.
I quess they tried lower then 200 ENY activation numbers in the past and there was alot of crying from the sides that were retricted. But, i agree with you compleatly, and would like to see ENY Minimum Activation requirement reduced to 100.
I am betting that HiTech will just ignore this post like he has the last dozen on this subject, he is set in his ways and does not want to experiment with a lower ENY activation threshold. I think his reasoning is the shorthanded side will balance out over time. All I know it has been close to a year with the knights being heavely short handed in the early mornings, and with no help from ENY it really sucks!!!!

NHawk,
We all know the Bish and Rooks are Gentelmen and would never take advantage of such a numbers mismatch against the Knights.
I am sure at least 4 rooks/bish were fighting each other, so it was probably only 100 Bish/Rook against 20 Knights that morning.
P.S. - Thank you Bish/Rooks for not taking advantage of this situation when it occurs every damn morning in the MA. We Knights really appreciate the fact that it is only 100 vs 20 instead of 104 vs 20.
:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

I know i probably shouldnt be replying to this.....
The reason ENY limit only starts at 200 players online is a *statistical* one. Mathematics. If less players are online, just ONE player logging on or off would make a significant change in relative numbers and maybe indice limitations.... End result: Things would get "unfair". Could the number maybe lowered just a bit? Probably. But that wouldnt change the gameplay (just increase the whines) and in a few weeks wed be asking for another reduction.
Oh, and Hitech isnt *ignoring* anything. He just cant *make* people even out the numbers. Every suggestion ive seen so far would heavily LIMIT someones gameplay - something HT simply cant do if he wants to keep his customers. "Its your 14.95".
And on a last note: I have changed country to Bish not that long ago, because they got heavily ganged by Knits..... numbers fluctuate, they always have. You just notice it more when youre on the recieving end.

I hope it was not what I said Nhawk...

I have only once gone to another country, the Rooks for one night for a vacation, because even when there are only 20 knights against 80, they STILL ARE TOO DAMNED RETARDED TO WORK TOGETHER AND GET ANYTHING DONE BECAUSE THEY ARE SO GHEY THEY CAN ONLY THINK OF THEIR OWN SCORE AND NOT THE GREATER GOOD!!! :furious :furious :furious
(Yes, that upsets me if you couldnt tell) and I think things should be mixed up. Force a bunch of random rooks and bish, or just those with high perk points, and switch them with low perk point knights. I noticed on the Rooks, they were (no offense) very ritcheous and assuming. They were great guys, but they were so used to winning, their greatest concern wasnt whether or not they would beat the bishops to the Knight territory, (Even though bish were damned close to beating the knights) but whether or not they would get the perks when they one. Again, this is no offense to the rooks, you are all very nice people, and sometimes friendlier than some knights, but you know nothing else. I think we should have the winners become loosers, and the losers become winners, just so everyone can see how the other half lives. And that is all I have to say about that.

Weīre flyin for the Greater Good? What is it - world peace or feeding all the hungry children? I always thought we fly for fun...
And btw, what has any sexual alignment to do with flying for score? If Iīm "ghey", am I required to fly for score? I think that would suck :D
-
Uh oh.... triple innuendos flying everywhere... or is it just my dirty imagination running wild? :D
No worries mussie, your comment actually made me laugh. Trust me, ive heard a lot worse from farmers.....

1. It's a freaking game.
2. I have seen this before.
3. My $ 14.95 will be spent for what I deam proper game play.
4. If I want to fly around and face shoot you in an La 7 I will,(which I don't)
but just the same, that is any paying memembers perogative to do so.
5. If you find yourself getting to caught up in this "GAME" back away from the keyboard.:huh

I know, its just annoying to be sitting at a base with one other knight and say, "We need help at 144 fast!" there are over 50 knights on line and no one comes. I die, and then the other guy does. "Field 144 has been captured by the rooks". Now imagine that every 5 minutes!

It is still a game that provides amusement "on occasion" When I first started playing it was, "Yeah kill em all, take their base woo hoo". Now it is pretty much country indifference. Oh you guys want to take a base cool! You want to furball cool! Bottom line Reynolds is, I get my $14.95's worth out of it because I do not concern myself with the knights loosing the map again. It comes with it's own perks, i.e. 262'S get pretty cheap along with tigers and what not. Again it happens to every country. I remember about oh I would say about 9 mo's ago the knight's were rolling up everyone's arse. It is just our turn to get our butts handed to us. Also remember their is alot of summer temps on you will see that change real quick next week!
-
Yeah, I just want to win ONCE. The knights have never won while I have been playing.
-
I don't think theres any "winning" in AH2. To me, winning is surviving the fight, besting someone in combat or a successful bomb run.
-
The way I see it is------- It take all the Rooks and all the Bishops to gang up on us Knights to win. They cant do it on thier own.

the funny thing is...the bishops say the same thing about the rooks and knights and the rooks say the same thing about the knights and bish. ive played on all sides. all the countrys are the same exept the names of the people you fly with.

only 50 online?? they may have been busy defending other bases. dont get mad if others dont want to play the way you want to. its better if you just go with the flow. if 20 badguys are attacking the base your at and its only a couple of you, move on to another base. they are going to take it anyways.
-
This thread has nothing to do with Bishops, Rooks or Knights. It has to do with numbers. It makes no difference which country had the 20 and which had the 50 online.

Bunca whiny arsed B'tards.
Implement the damn thing for all I care.
I'll still be able to fly my 109F, FM-2, C-205, or anything over 30 ENY.:p
Just means you will be vulch-swarmed by Spit I's, Hurri I's, and be bombed into submition by Boston III's.:rofl :rofl :rofl

Thats when its about 50 all around on all sides. But it never realy matters hjow many we have. even if we outnumber the others (Which I have seen) no one help each other out! Whenever I see a call for help, unless where I am at is in more danger, ill auger and help. If im in a perk-plane ill land and then go help. But either way, i drop what im doing and go help! Work together peopl! Not that hard!

Thatīs your style of playing, but donīt expect others to do the same way. For example for me itīs about flying a sortie and coming back alive. I donīt simply auger because somebody is crying for help. In extreme situations I might contemplate a ditch in friendly territory, but I wonīt bail or auger. (IMHO its only a little step from that to "bomb&bail", which I utterly despise)
And most of the time there are cries for help every other minute, I donīt find hurrying across the arena in response to everyone of them much fun. And people who are absolutely not into that "win teh war!!" thing (and there are quite a lot of them) will be much less inclined to do so. And they are right, īcause how did Confucius say: "Its their 14.95"
(Also, it very much depends on who is calling for help. All those little "when will stupid knights learn to XXX" whining generals have lost my support)

"Yeah, I just want to win ONCE. The knights have never won while I have been playing."
Not so long ago whilst I was on knights they won 3 maps in ONE WEEK!
It goes around and comes around reynolds and as stated above its between 9am GMT- noon 4am est til morning.....
Maybe knights actually go to bed and sleep :)
Plus dont stereotype countries until youve spent time in all of them....
