More like it has been that way for about 10 days, I was wondering how long before people would notice. Since it is such a HUGE problem that almost EVERY person in the game has left over :rolleyes: you would think people would have noticed sooner.

This could help the spy program.  Now the poor can join in and the average price of fair Intel should go down. Free markets are grate.  The inevitable wash could dull down the anger as well.  :airplane:

Hitech,

Ten days and nobody noticed.....  :O

And how long did it take when the LWMA was reduced to one arena for anyone to notice you changed the time back to 12 hours? Only because you added the fact to the next update's change log.

Me thinks fewer players were ever involved in wanting this than the volume of their wailing and nashing of teeth was used to fool their audience into believing it was more than 1.3 percent of the population. Public opinion manipulation versus facts as usual.

1.3 percent of which population? Current or past?

current would mean maybe 10-15 people, past would be about 30-40 people :)

Curious...could some of the players not noticing be due to 6 hour change not being that much different than 12 hours?  I would think its about playing/sitting time.  Very few people sit and play for 6 hours

Bingo.

It is akin to raising the speed limit without changing the signs.

"Did you know we changed the speed limit?"

"No, it wasn't posted anywhere. How would I know?"

"Did you get pulled over?"   :devil

This is wrong.  Just because people didn't complain doesn't mean they agreed with the 12 hour change.  Furthermore, I wish we had those people flying that had the 12 hour rule on their list of reasons why they stopped.  Even if it's only 5-15 people, that's too many when numbers are as low as they've been.

The controls on switching sides were done for good reasons relevant to the populations in the arena at that time. Conditions change it seems.

Just read this Lolz , didn't have a clue, what do you think people do buster,  say to themselves " hey maybe today they changed the 12hr rule today, let me just try it, ........think not,  do note a great many people that play, never read these boards.

... is the most respite-full logic I've possibly ever witnessed.  Way to stick it to your customers HT.  Change a longstanding rule that everyone knows exists, change it without notice, then ridicule everyone for not noticing.

Who in their right mind, other than a complete noob, and given the previous uproar, would even try to change sides in fewer than 12 hours?  And if they wouldn't how would they ever know the rule had been changed?

It seems to me the Muppets really got to you and not only that, left a lasting impression.

I spent the last couple of days changing sides a bit. I have flown for all three teams. Nobody called me a spy and I didn't experience any ill will. I actually felt very welcomed when I would show up on any of the teams. I tried to chip in and help with goals and different stuff the guys had going on and enjoyed a good time. The 6 hours to change sides seems about rite to me. I didn't feel "stuck" anywhere and I could change teams inside a normal day of playing AH.

Should be 1 hour. A majority of people who switched regularly didn't do it with bad intentions. Most did it to find a better fight.

Yep..  :aok

This is my opinion also.  I can't play the game for six hours in a day so changing it to six makes no difference to me.  On the weekend I usually play for about 4 hours a night so one to two hours would be nice.  I have been stuck on one side and had nobody to fight at all and logged early with nothing to do.  Meanwhile, the other two countries have had huge darbars ..  :frown:

Well...since we know about the 12 hour rule, when you switched and ended up flying patrol and no fights, you logged and didn't bother trying again until the next day. I doubt too many look at their clock and start tracking 11 hours and 59 minutes.

Like golf, 6 is better than 12, but it's still at least a bogey and maybe a double or triple... unless we're playing on one of those weird par 6 holes.  I don't like par 6 holes.   :old:
