Post by: JUGgler on January 24, 2011, 11:54:28 PM
Would be nice, sometimes ya can't tell where the horde is and you choose the wrong country :(

I think it could be managed to prevent spiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iize  :uhoh

1/2 hour total mute after 2nd country change within 1/2 hour and no bombs for 1 hour after 2nd change.

Just a thought  :bhead

been discussed many times.  something along the we cant squelch texting, ventrillo, or every comms medium that is available out there so if people want to spy they will, so why bother muting when changing countries.

Something needs to be done for those of us who change to find fights.  A certain squad has chosen to frequent Early War now.  They play for rank, score, and toolshedding (map-flipping).  There were 5-6 of them when I last logged in.  I upped to defend the base...lasted about 10 minutes before they regrouped and came all at once.  After that, they started attacking the other side (that had zero people on).  A couple of others came on, and we went to that side to defend and find fights - which is the point of a combat game.  Well, wouldn't ya know...they switched back to attacking the other, now empty, side.

Let us switch as often as we need.  Impose whatever anti-spy rules you feel necessary, but let us switch so we can fight.  I'm not paying $14.95 a month to fight buildings...I can do that offline for free.

Looks like we found the same squad Dot, been trying to fight them but they..........  don't want to cooperate too much.   :rofl :rofl.  Then we tried to split and stay both sides at same time. They stopped upping completely. They are logged on, but no bases flashing if somebody is in there.   :lol

+1  I switch between Bish and Rook in MW to try and fight the Nits and they flop their attack back and forth to the lowest, sometimes 0 number side.  Would be nice to switch at will.

I can only speak to the LW arenas, but my thought is no to eliminating or reducing side-switch time during prime time hours.  Off hours arena I could see the need.

Agreed. during prime hours there are plenty of people to fight everywhere. Not so much at 2 am...

All true, but the world does not revolve around the LW arena.   ;)

Perhaps we need separate rules/settings between LW arenas and everywhere else.  It seems that many things that come to pass because of what happens in LW is applied everywhere with a broad brushstroke.  What's good for one arena is not always good for another.

I think allowing insta change would only cause issues, even with the restrictions you put up as an idea...sure, your intentions are honorable but it's the ones who need policing that make this freedom a wish...
A wish from a few months back asked for different coloured bardar to differentiate between enemy forces....not actually sure how this ended but this would work for the same purposes...nothing worse than taking the gamble and getting the wrong 50%.....or I have in the past just asked which side was getting tromped...

I wouldn't mind seeing the time limit lowered to 30 minutes instead of the current 60 minutes.

I'd be for lowering the country switch time 100%. Unfortunately, I think there needs to be some type of cool down time in between side switches to satisfy the paranoids.

Why?

Because it will defeat the purpose of having radar, NOE missions, CVs, and whole bunch of other stuff. You will be able to find enemy locations in seconds.

happens all the time now.  What they need to do is eliminate cross country texting via PM.  The ability to text this way circumvents the delay for switching back anyway.  1 guy lost out of a horde is no big deal if he chooses to switch sides for the hour to sneak intel to his buddies.

great idea for all arena's, boy would the "win the war crowd" hate this, you cannot stop cross country comms, there are some with two accounts, vent, and all the other out of game comms so.....I would love to see this in place.

The "one size fits all" approach based on LW game play isn't ideal for the less populated EW and MW arenas. In addition to different side switch times, how about making perk points arena specific. Earn them in the EW and you have to spend them there. Same for MW. Milking low number arenas so you can burn perks in LW shouldn't be allowed.
