HTC,
I finally got around to flying again last night after 4 months of inactivity. I flew 4 sorties and the ENY was 15 and no less for an hour or so.
My last sortie was in a Spit 1 against every LA7 known to man. BTW, the spit 1 FM is a dog now, and nevermind not relevant.
Did HTC take TARP money and owes Oboma a favor? I was kinda surprised that Aces High still keeps score. Oh wait I didn't really check that either, so maybe they don't.
This is a war Sim right? I'm not really sure what your target customer is these days, but for my money I'd like to fly what I pay for. Either directly to HTC or in the game. :neener:
Level playing Fields are for those who have an issue with getting the butts kicked. Happens to me every day, bring it.
HTC should create a no excuses arena that we can have fun in and fly what HTC has in the stable, not this watered down version. See how many folks flock to that all out carnage. There is enough socialism in the world today without this intrusion, please let me reach my potential without boundaries!!! :airplane:

No actual tears can be sensed or you would have gotten a higher score. :neener:
I think ENY is there to prevent the massive squads like the four sections of LCA and only HTC knows how many sections of Claim Jumpers from ruling the map with numbers only. Yes ENY gets old sometimes but after the kids go to bed the grownups go back to their rides.
-
I'm old. I have to go to bed early too. Oh yeah and work. No what?
-
you could always jump countries to the low side :bolt:
-
change to a country with less players.

ENY was 29 earlier. Then went to, what, 32? It was pissing me off. I'm not going to leave my country because a whole bunch of tards thought it would be funny to switch to my country and sit in the towers for hours on end.

i come in here for fun. i don't have much time. if i have to change, to find a good fight, then i change. i'm the only one in charge of me finding my fun in here. no one else.

The problem isn't the ENY, it's you.

you could always jump countries to the low side :bolt:
Or take your squad to the high #'s side and really fuzz eny. :noid
-
I remember the first time ENY hit. I was so excited that myself and the rest of the country had a reason to fly the less flown planes. It didn't even occur to me that it was an annoyance to so many people until I started hearing the whines.
-
........ after the kids go to bed the grownups go back to their rides.
Love it when the children go to bed and grownups still on. I get better air to air fights.

Yak9u very good plane to fly when eny is moody, flew it in Redstorm :old:
-

(...)

Spit I is ENY 40. If you can't fly Spit IX or V due to ENY, your side totally outnumbers the opposition anyway
This is a war Sim right?
Wrong
but for my money I'd like to fly what I pay for.
Nobody will stop you. "Oclub->Change Countries" or simply type ".country X" (1= Bishops, 2= Knights, 3=Rooks)
And if you say now "But I'm loyal to my country". You can't have it all. Your choice: Numbers or fav plane. Like in real life, loyalty comes at a price sometimes. :)
Level playing Fields are for those who have an issue with getting the butts kicked
Did anybody else notice that complaints about ENY always come from those that have numbers, ENY against them and are not getting their butt kicked?
Nobody comes here and ever complains about the enemy having ENY...
HTC should create a no excuses arena that we can have fun in and fly what HTC has in the stable, not this watered down version. See how many folks flock to that all out carnage.
We've been there, done that, and it didn't work.
Besides, I don't see any reason why you don't can have fun with ENY. If ENY 15 bothers you that much (which it shouldn't, considering how capable many ENY20-30 planes are): Switch side, help the underdog, feel good and fly your Spit XVI.
please let me reach my potential without boundaries
If you are limiting yourself to a few "uber" planes or to a single side, you are setting your boundaries yourself, not HTC

:rofl
you are really thinking dozens of players switch to your country just to sit in tower and raise ENY?
And no, ENY never gets to 32. It stops at 29.

? I've seen it at 30 before I'm pretty sure.

Meh, no idea. I really am only in LW so prolly one of those arenas and maybe a year ago.
I just remember not being able to even fly a P-47D-11, was the end of my night though so I just logged. Never seen it that high again, I think it used to say "flight disabled at ENY 29" on something somewhere, and I was shocked that it was even possible.
Of course take everything I say with a grain of salt, it very well could've been a bug on my end. If it's not possible, it's not possible.
-
I just remember not being able to even fly a P-47D-11, was the end of my night though so I just logged.
P-47D-11 was ENY 25 back then, no need for ENY >30 to disable it.
-
I believe I have seen the same thing Snailman. M3s were available though. :eek:
-
P-47D-11 was ENY 25 back then, no need for ENY >30 to disable it.
Wasn't saying that was proof, was just saying it's what I remember. I'm sure 25 ENY was a big deal for me at the time... :(
-
Typically, I don't mind ENY, as my main rides are the 51B and the Brewster. But last night was just one of those odd nights. In orange the Bish had 130+ players, the Rooks had 130+ players, and Knits had 59 players. This was throwing ENY for the Bish and Rooks. Damn our Alliance! So log into Blue, Bish down to 8 bases and the about 45-50 players, rooks about the same and the Knits in the upper 80s. I guess the Alliance must work harder at eradicating the Knits from the map!
-
I think ENY should be revamped so it can only affect members of large squads.
Isn't that what it is there for anyway? To keep the map from being ruled by gigantic squads?
Lets penalize those AH2 monopolies.
This idea is great. It would mean the Jokers would only be able to horde in P40's, and me in my UFO like spixteen could attempt some resistance without it seeming so futile.

I like the ENY myself too. But like you said last night I couldn't find anything to do bish were getting killed in both LW arenas, arguements in the EW, don't like the purple,DA was filled with to much ppl and probably arguements, TA is boring, nothing in SEA.

This is not the problem Dadsguns. I see your point of view, but the problem is simply too many flying Rooks & Bishop in Orange. Too many flying Knights in Blue. The fix is already in place if ENY gets your goat. Switch to the low ENY country in whatever arena you are in.

I am reminded of an incident I had with my Wife one day. We were driving along and a song came on the radio. She goes into this tirade about how she cannot stand that song. After a minute, or so, I reach over and change the radio station.
She looks over and starts complaining about how she likes the other station, but hates the song. So I change it back and she finishes complaining about the song being played.
After the song finished, I just look over at her and say, "Ignoring a solution does not substantiate your complaints".
Just saying.

Eny was at 29 and I upped a KI 61 that I first flew in a snapshot a few weeks ago. Had a Blast got a kill. Variety is the spice of life.
I always wanted to fight an impossible battle against incredible odds. :rock

i used to work with a guy that went ballastic when a song he didn't like came on.
i turned the radio up every time.
he learned to not be quite so vocal. :devil

Can't help but laugh when someone complains about a problem and the problem is themselves. :D
Snicker Factor a good strong 10!
-
I thought Lusche summed everything up quite nicely way back on page one. The people who complain about ENY somehow fail to see that they have the choice to solve the problem. ENY is a result of a decision they've made, the tools for a solution are there, if they don't pick them up and use them then they have no one to blame but themselves if ENY prevents them from flying a given plane.

HTC should create a no excuses arena that we can have fun in and fly what HTC has in the stable
But that is the arena you were in. You could have flown everything HTC had in the stable at that moment. I confused :confused:

well thats the arena caps at work, decreasing overall numbers locks-in and amplifies any country imbalance ...
Eny was at 29
you said you were seeing LA7s, which means you were flying against the lowest number country. ENY 29 means that your country had almost twice as many players as the lowest number country (90% more iirc). so you want a 2:1 numbers advantage, and to be able to fly the most capable aircraft as well?
-
I have no problem with ENY but wish it was ZONE specific instead of country, at times I have been getting gangbanged in a zone when I have the ENY number :huh This defending MY base :rofl
-
Ack-Ack with 13092 post I can see why your an expert. :huh
Naw...It's probably from playing these types of game a lot longer than you have and being smarter than you also helps. Like I said, the problem isn't the ENY, it's just a convenient scapegoat and the problem and the solution lay squarely on your shoulders.

-

Except the arena caps weren't an issue. Orange had plenty of room as did blue. When I logged into blue and seen the Uterus map, went right back over to Orange. To bad ENY couldn't be linked between the arenas. Either way, I still like ENY.
-
i used to be squarely against changing countries. to be honest, i don't know why.
since i've been corrupted by shuffler, and soulss and corkyjr, who shall remain un-named, i've been changing countries almost on a regular basis.
i log in, look and see who has low numbers, and BAM! i log to that country. the REALLY funny thing? since then, i've never had any problem with eny, or with getting the ride of my choice. :aok
the fun we each have in these arenas lays only with each of us. if eny is pissin ya off, then switch to a side where it won't.
if you don't wanna switch, then try another plane. that can be fun too. :aok

+1 Yeah afew squads have taken it upon themselves to screw ENY on the Rook country. I fly the 190a8 and p40e sometimes so doesn't bother me . But hey, I can just as easily get kills and hold my own on another team.

Seeming that the CJ's are Rooks, this holds no water.
Rooks are the ones that have been getting hosed by Other countries changing sides and sitting in the tower when they'd normally log off.
This is a fairly new development from the Bish and Knights. Effective, but very cheap. I've been wondering why eny has been so bad lately.
GET RID OF ENY ALL TOGETHER!!!!

I recall Hitech starting a thread a while back about how the latest version much not have any bugs, because people where back to complaining about ENY :lol
My experience.
Sometimes the numbers start out even, then one side organizes a massive horde and starts rolling bases. Then the other side will just give up and log/switch arenas. This behavior annoys me a little bit, because it feels like being punished for being successful.
***before everyone rants on me, YES I know many people don't equate success with base captures, but some do***
When this happens to me, (ENY doesn't bother me till 20 or so, but I've seen it up to 29) I don't curse ENY, I curse the other side that gives up so easily, instead of staying and putting up a good fight. So, then there is no resistance and taking bases gets really, really boring.
So what do I do, (I won't switch sides, my squad doesn't permit it) I switch arenas too. If my side has high ENY in one arena, that usually means we are outnumbered in the other. :aok
-

most people fly for fun and being horded is no fun, so what do you expect? your not being punished, you're just suffering the inevitable consequences of wanting it easy. dont want the other side to log off? organise missions with much less than 100% chance of success, that way the enemy will put up a fight and you'll both have fun.

You misunderstand me, I don't want it easy, I agree it's boring.
I don't curse ENY, I curse the other side that gives up so easily, instead of staying and putting up a good fight. So, then there is no resistance and taking bases gets really, really boring.
Did you not see the "no resistance = really, really boring" part
When I'm part of a group on the attack, I WANT to meet a group on defense, and vice versa.
When the numbers are even (like I said) the opposition can easily stop a horde from rolling bases, thus creating a great huge fun fight for all.
And yes I do often fly missions with only 3-4 squadies that are a real longshot, but they can be lots of fun.
On a related note, this is why I can't understand the whole "furballers vs. base takers" mentality. It is a symbiotic relationship. The guys attempting to take bases set off all the good fights for the "furballers" and the guys who just want to dogfight keep the fighters busy so the "base takers" can capture the base.
Like I said if ENY bothers me, (most planes I fly are 15-25 ENY) I just switch arenas.

In keeping with my resolution not to whine, the following is all in good humor without malice.
I think ENY is there to prevent the … many sections of Claim Jumpers from ruling the map with numbers only.
Claim Jumpers rule the map? No one told the guys who keep shooting me down.
At last count, the Claim Jumpers have 13 wings and 135 members.
Over the last thirteen tours, the max active in a given tour has been 106.
It is unusual for the CJs to get 20 people online at any given time. Even then, unlike many squads, it is not mandatory to join the horde. While CJs are vilified in the forums, we have, at most, impact equal to any other group.
With regards to the OP, fly an early 109, a C205, a Yak-9U, an I-16 – there are many great planes with high ENY.
