Title: ENY and side switch timer.
Post by: Tank-Ace on April 13, 2014, 02:59:05 PM

Change the timer to 1hr, because 12hrs is just an awful idea, and accomplishes nothing save to further increase side-loyalty.


Change the maximum ENY to 40 (IIRC, its 29 right now), adjust scale so that maximum kicks in at the same time as it does now.



Basically this presents 3 options; keep numbers balanced, horde with higher ENY planes, or switch sides to fly your P-51D's and Spixteens.

You know what would make this game even more fun and increase the player base by about 230%? Getting rid of the 12 hour rule. It was the worst thing ever added to this game.

"Oh you aren't allowed to have fun."
"Why?"
"Because."

No thanks, I prefer having cheap perk tanks and planes on the knights.  :D.  But on a more serious note, I could see a lot of people go to the winning team just before they win to get their free perks.The 12 hour rule tends to prevent some of this behavior.

That's been fixed. You have to have flown on the country for 12 hours starting from the time you switch sides. If you switch sides 5 minutes before the war is won then you get no perkies.  :)

I was just about sold on the idea of reduced switch times.  Then of late there seems to be a rise in groups of top pilots getting together to cap and vulch an airbase in their high performance and or perk planes to score maximum number of kills.  The 12 rule at least hampers this disturbing trend.  The 12 hour want stop this trend but it will reduce country shopping around for the best place to get the most kills.

Unfortunately this hurts the off peak hour players.  If I were HTC I would address the off peak hour problem as a separate issue from the 12 hour rule.

I think they do it so people will have multiple accounts to get around it.  It is a revenue generator.    Or something....
