Title: Country switch times
Post by: pervert on July 17, 2011, 07:44:36 PM
Finding it quite hard of late to find action (of the aircraft to aircraft type) nothing more depressing than switching countries to look for action and finding none, then having to wait an hour to switch again, any chance it could be reduced?

Although it was unavoidable the single arena has nerfed some variety of play that 2 arenas gave, the ability to switch countries faster would counteract that to an extent.  :salute

An hour is good and if you want to shorten the time, it should cost perks depending on the time you select.

Yes switching "unhindered" would be awesome.

Not sure charging perks is the fix, but maybe after switching for the second time within an hour you would not be allowed to load bombs or rockets of any kind on any plane also you would be text and voice muted for an hour.

Prob not viable also but I too wish I could switch at will  :salute

Maybe just restrict it so that you can't switch back to the same country within an hour.  That is, if you are bish and switch to knights, then you can't go back to bish for an hour, but could switch to rooks if you wanted.

That should still hinder those who would switch specifically to spy but allow the "trapped" player to see if the third side's grass is a little greener.

Can't change back to the same country within an hour, disable cross country comunications, and keep you from upping with ord for an hour.

I think even having squad comms cross country is a bad idea. Makes it too easy for certian unnamed squads, and *cough* TARDS!!!!!! *cough* to spy.

It wasn't meant to be a fix because frankly, there is nothing wrong with the current system other than some of us that would like to not have to wait an hour to switch.  My idea was that if you want to switch every 15 minutes then it's going to cost you some perks for that privilege.  It's more of a way to find another thing to spend perks on.

1 hour, should be 12 hours or longer.

IMO, for the less populated arenas like EW and to some extent MW, the current side-switching time limits are too long. If I switch from the side not being attacked to the side being attacked so I can find a fight, the attackers just start attacking the side I just left (which now has nobody or very few players) and continue to fight the tool sheds un-opposed. I'm now stuck for an hour with nothing to do other than attack their wickedly tough tool sheds, go to another arena, or just log off.

Not particularly, perhaps he's playing at some time of the day when activity falls off.  I know towards the end of my evening (11:00 or 12:00 Mountain) it can be a real pain to find a red bardar that's more than a couple planes deep.  Sometimes though, there's nothing on my country's fronts, and a real juicy fight between the other two countries.  The danger is if you switch so you can get into that, sometimes you find a nearly unopposed green bardar there, which is no fun either.

No matter what you do to comms, people will find a way around it like TS or Vent or cell phones or shortwave radio.  There's no point putting a limitation on it.  I think a reasonable compromise would be you can't return to a country for x amount of time after switching from it.  I'd like to see the option to hop to all 3 looking for a fight in relatively short time.

How about showing the map with three colors [Friendly Green, Enemy1 Blue, Enemy 2 Red]  instead of two [friendlies Green, ALL enemy red]. At least when you switched you have a better chance of making the right choice.

I agree with the abuse that would happen in the times were shorter.  :aok

Spending perks for shorter times would be a reasonable method of trying to limit the abuse.  :aok

When I would quit about every think I just don't like, I wouldn't have been playing in the first place. It may suck, and I will continue to cry, reason and complain, but I will not quit just about that single thing alone. There are a few total game-breakers for me, but this is not one of them ;)

Well thats the last time I put something on the wishlist.

You complained about the lack of action, switching countries does not create action, it creates a means for players to concentrate the action in one specific point.

Congratulations, you got what you asked for, now stop running to the one/only fight and start making more like you and the majority have been demanding, it's not hard (but, I admit, the easiest option is gone now =  :cry <- those demanding what they are now most unwilling to work for).

I've brought this up before, but no arbitrary 'time' is going to be correct. Side switching should be utilized to balance the sides, therefore, they should make it so that there are short times for switching to a low ENY country and long times for switching to a high ENY country. This would at least prevent the problem of everyone switching over to the 'winning' side to get free perks.

Yeah you'd never be guilty of that would you?..

dont put out a product until it is ready. I know HT wont care that one person will leave his game but I just cant see spending my money for something that does not work.

Thinking about joining the ranks of saying GOOD BYE to AH myself. I dont think HT will ever work out the bugs in the MA cuz he is working on AH2 to much. Paying money for something that is not working is not my way of having fun

I wish you would delete your bbs account I just spent 10 minutes looking through your garbage 'contribution' to the community guess what its 80% whining about the game, no joke my eyes are stinging having to be exposed to so much bull in one sitting  :lol

Your the kind of guy who doesn't engage his brain when typing these threads up, you type the first thing that comes into his head. If you agree with a poster then its all happy days, anyone that disagrees with you is a whiner.  :rolleyes:

Oh and btw Hawkeri unless you have another id I don't know about its probably best to drop the whole 'I am a 10 year vet' routine I spotted looking through your posts with people, you played 4 years max 2001 - 2003 and returned 2009 to present, that also matches the pattern of your whining drivel in posting. Just because you played in 2001 and then took a break doesn't make you a 10 year vet.  :rolleyes:

Yeah but can't you see that makes you more of an 'I quit joker' than me, you used yours as a threat you did'nt follow through with at the time, I actually did it and used mine as a way of telling the guy who makes this game that I won't play it without having free choice to find a fight in the little time I have to play.

It should end up as a giant game of catchy kissys with grown men running screaming from each other for fear of being dead in a virtual world.  :lol

 Side switching eliminated completely would be all right with me. Most people who switch sides fall in to the score ho, loner or anti social category. :frown: They receive little or no respect or trust.
If you want a fight and can't find one, go to the DA, that is what it is for, or buy another account.

I'm in that category, my score sucks and always has, I quite like people and am quite social.  :rolleyes:

zomg
I was switching sides all the time, to fight against th horde, or to wing with a fella. why?
  Maybe im anti-social, but had many buddies on different sides to wing with or fly against. Both are fun.
I know many people who did the same. Some of them are the most respected ones here.
  I sukk in the horde, also i hate being in the horde or having massive numerical superiority. Why? Couse those are the best fights where the numbers are about to be even. The unballanced ones are boring to both sides, nothing to shoot at or reup, get ganged, reup, anyway, that sukks. This thingy totally removes the ability to even the sides.
  I live in Europe. In the time i was able to play, there werent many players on, not so many fellas to have that luxury to find them on any side. Ok its an american game, but helllooo, how can an european find a fight anymore, with 50-70 people on in the off-hours time (and thats a good case)? cheers
  But seriosly. Loyality to a dang chess piece or what? Those who never switch, often think that the other side is the evil, the tarded, the dweeb etc. Or do nothing else but try to win that dang map. Personally i effin hate following orders in a computer game i pay for (what else can you do in the horde??), damnit, its our 15 bux, we should be able to do what we wanna.
  Your post disappointed me very badly.
  Plz give the players an option to be able to switch more often than once a day.

Edit: my spelling sukks, forgive me plz.
