I hate ENY.  Hate it. Hate it. Hate it.  But I know why it is there.  I understand that it addresses a problem, and Aces High would be worse without it.  So I live with it.  It is inconvenient, but ENY is there for a reason.

Two of the nays thus far don’t play anymore, correct? If so, you may have a fuzzy memory of how much ENY drastically changes when #’s are low.

Also, do you guys recall the plane set that is available with 20 ENY? How about 25 ENY? Is that what you’d continue to pay a subscription for if you dealt with this nearly every night as many do that can’t play during prime time.

2 or 3 skilled and knowledgeable players can stop a horde of 10-15 players, log in at night and watch it routinely happen.

How? Anticipate it where is next, run Jeep to town, drop supps, and then spawn a resupping M3 in and hide. The other two up ftrs and gain alt or one gets to town in with or M-8 and hides.

^ this routinely happens to Knights because their horde base takes are poorly coordinated (as they are notorious for).

However,


PLEASE REMOVE ENY SINCE YOU HAVE NEVER TRIED TO FIX IT

Thanks Dale :cheers:

HT did try to fix it with the what I guess people are calling the "mercenary" system.

I personally think there needs to be a balancing system in place but not at the cost of paying and playing customers.

The dilemma HT is faced with is trying to guess what is going to cost him the least amount of players Eny or unbalanced sides/Hoards.

Personally I think Unlimited side switching or at least giving free side switches while under ENY would alleviate some of the burn.

The problem with the mercenary system is it only caters to the lone wolf solo player and can still leave you high and dry on the wrong side when it's over with, Oh .... and it doesn't work as ENY is still a major problem.

Disabling ENY when numbers drop to low numbers was an Idea, So is having ENY only effect perk rides ..... The smallest side gets free perked rides the middle country pays full price and the largest pays double when ENY is in effect.

And lastly for the nay sayers who want to keep everything the same, Are you trying to give AH a Darwin award?

If you haven't noticed THE GAME YOU LOVE IS DYING! It's runs the risk of going the way of Air Warrior and AH has already lasted longer then Air Warrior did.

The game faces some pretty stiff competition from the likes of Warthunder Il2 DCS and the like. AH doesn't bring in enough new players and it doesn't catch players on their way from Warthunder to Il2 and DCS.

The community can only keep AH on life support for so long.

Personally I think HT can probably pump a little extra life out of the existing game engine by lower subscription rates and/or offering annual subscriptions at a reduced cost like say $120 +- per year, for least long enough to get a new engine built.

DIdn't see anything in the post about how good he was. regardless of your coy attitude he is completely right. ENY would work however if it didn't count the tower campers.
Case in point, i have been on with 16 people in the tower, eny was 20+ two of us defending a base attacked by 4 f4u-4s one bomber and 1 m3 vs our two g-14s. Yeah real equal playing field!

not always that simple, it usually not only one base that has to be considered. Often eny is because of tower campers and 6 guys can't defend two fronts, much less try and intercept and sit around waiting while another base gets rolled. Besides that,  three guys trying to stop 2 or3 m3s, with 2 or 3 alt monkeys on over watch and no veh hanger, not possible when the over watch is perk birds and you can't even up anything but early war fighters only. Slow, sroc, poor armament, low range ect Heck one night couldn't even up a carrier plane to defend a port.

solution, but he wont do it, about the 5th time i have offered it up. If the eny would not count tower campers or have an idle timeout kick (say 15 minutes), it would more accurately do what it is meant to do, balance the action.

for least long enough to get a new engine built.

Vulcan?

Do you think Vulcan will make any material difference to the player numbers trend?  Cross platform?  I guess there are probably 15-20 hardcore flight enthusiasts that might be on a mac.  You might pull in a couple of them. ;) 

I'm sure there will be performance and visual effect improvements.  I'm not sure if I would expect new art work or models.  Fundamental design choices in the terrain implementation  make it unlikely to end up looking all that different without a redesign.  It's flexible and can be player created, but the trade-off is a certain level of simplicity and blocky-ness, like building a world out of modular lego instead of hand sculpting out of clay. 

Do you think an new polygon rendering pipeline will fundamentally change the course of the game if you keep the same monetization and gameplay models?

I have to admit it's been a number of years since I played in the Melee and don't remember how ENY worked completely.  Could it be possible to tweak it so that it never takes away aircraft from the high side, but starts to give free perk planes to the low side? 

It's always better to give than take. ;)

First that this is $ subscription based and when #’s are low ENY has dramatic effects that it does not when the arena has 50+ players in it. Have you been in the MA after midnight? Many ppl do play late into the night/morning and not everyone is in the US.

I don’t know offhand what the F4U1 ENY is, however your other suggestion is to fly a light attack aircraft that stands no chance against even a total noob flying nearly any fighter plane in the set, seriously? 

You’re in PA, at midnight your time it’s 9pm on the west coast…

See my previous post.

109s P47s and zekes all have capable variants above 20eny. F4U1 is one of the most capable fighters in game at 25 Ent and used to be my main ride.

I wouldn’t be opposed to removing eny restrictions on bombers, but the only reason why people want low Eny fighters is so they can run away from real fights.

I don’t fly low ENY planes as you may have noticed last night. The planes I fly the most are Ki-84, 109G14, N1K, A6M5 in that order. Notice the common factor between all of them is cannon. I’m not very accurate with 50cal for some reason and really never was even when I flew the F4uD, FM2 and F6F regularly.

If even one of my regular rides was taken out of the game I’d leave at this point. I always wanted the J2M added (very fun in WT) which will never happen obviously. What seems to be lost on many is the point that a mechanism of the game (once made sense with high numbers and Jayro/Joker type raids) is deterring combat, in a combat simulator. 

Everyone has their favorite rides for a reason, whatever that may be, and whether you/me/someone else like their style, it’s their $15 that’s keeping the lights on.

ENY may not be a topic that you hear about, but I do, as when I play Knights/my side most of the time, encounter it nearly every night.

I don’t want to fly a plane that someone else wants me to and I don’t want to switch side unless I feel like it. And if it gets to that point too often…as I already said.

I love the G-14, however without gondolas it only has one cannon and with gondolas Sodas old chart showed tremendous loss of maneuverability.

Besides the 190A5, the rest of that list I have no interest in learning as my time/hours to play is limited.

Due to the poor number of players left, eny is not necessary. Let the few people left play for the country they want to and the plane they want to have fun in before the game is ended. No point pissing off the last few players into quitting by taking their fun away.

Not a single Bishop/Rook fight becuase i stirred up both fronts helping Knights take bases. At some point tonight Knight will get hit with eny when the bishops mass log after hording.

Eagler

It's moreso the map than the #s. If you had NDisles on all weekend, you'd see much better fights per the 3 sides because they would be forced to fight in certain areas and all 3 teams could reach each other. With maps like Bowl MA, 40 players on the whole map is going to look like no one is playing. If no one is attacking one side, there will be no one on that side defending. The 6 guys on that side are probably bombing at 25k or in a tank hiding somewhere shooting buildings. If the maps do not emerge the players, this is what you get late at night and ENY is just stupid.

I think asking someone to switch to a side with 0 action on that side with 7-8 players who aren't really playing as a team is not a rational solution. Especially if you cannot fly to the other side and join a fight or action. If I switch to a side with no action and no one defending or attacking, I'll just log off, so it won't really matter and that's one less player in the game.


I don't think this a player issue. I think its a map issue with maps that are too big to support off hours balanced gameplay.

ENY may stop you from using your favorite ride, but 3 or 4 players with experience will stop a horde of players from taking a base. I have seen this so many times over the years. You can learn an early war or mid war ride and become quite good at it if you spend the time. If one country has a huge advantage in numbers, then ENY is more than fair. If I attack a v base with a M-8, the opposing team will send out tanks, storches, and sometimes heavy fighters. If they do not send out all those rides I will de ack their base. You can count on it.   :D :D :D

Title: Re: HTC PLEASE DISCONTINUE ENY
Post by: RotBaron on December 28, 2022, 11:08:42 AM
There’s a false assumption by so many in these threads that support ENY who either don’t read comments or don’t play when ENY is really high. The assumption is that complaints are about ENY preventing base taking, they are not and it’s not preventing base taking, never really has.

For most that I see in game unhappy enough to say so, they are ticked off ENY gets so high they can’t enjoy the game because what they’re paying $ for is restricted; gameplay is being limited, and at times extremely limited.

Do y’all really think prohibiting players from choosing low ENY rides is good for the business at this point? Who cares about base takes, who really cares about hordes, let players fully utilize all aspects of the game they’re paying for and have been for many years.

I think there should be rules in a game. IF you do not like this rule and want it removed, which other rules do you want removed?

Would be more preferable  to remove problem maps that don't support the gameplay during off hours. If there are no players on one side which is causing both other teams to have ENY issues, more people will log off rather than switch to a side with virtually no action. A low #s side is great for players who want to play by themselves and jabo random bases with no push back. Players who want to be emersed in action with other players aren't achieving this by moving to the low #s side. Most players don't want to fight against the team they just switched from. Therefore it's not achieving the desired of effect but rather giving a player reason to log. Perhaps we don't have to change the "rules" only remove some of the problem environments that are causing this embalance.

Personally I loved to see this implemented, not that Id expect any major coading to be done anytime soon, but I think it would add a neat dimension to the game.

At the beginning of a tour all planes/vehicles are available. An ENY restriction is added to the player as time in game for the tour and scores rises. This way those players that are skilled enough to still do well in the weaker equipment are the ones restricted. The newer and less skilled players are the ones that continue to be able to use the better equipment as they are the ones who still need that crutch.

It would push some of these really skilled players out of their ponies and K4s and D9s and into F6s, P40s G2s and such.

Many games will let you pay to be better. Pay so you can't be killed. Pay so your guns kill easier. Pay so your tanks are faster. Pay so you are....   no need to improve, just open your wallet.

Make all EW rides free.  Maybe a select handful of MW as well.

Let the play-for-free people refill these arenas... then all these problems go away.

one of those rules is accusing someone of cheating and not backing it up or remains quite about it as per the agreement.

When I was flying regular and had my edge, I was accused of cheating on occasion. Never bothered me as I know I do not. They were just out flown by a 38 driver.

I'm really going to put in some work on myself irregardless to my codependency.  I put way too much stock in the opinion of others for my respect of them as people. Hence why I'm letting it get to me so badly. Just not worth it anymore.

Yes. I've been told by players their Ki-84 doesn't do that. There are two possible explanations for that and 'cheating' always soothes the other possibility.  :old:

Was just searching my old posts from my old name (Ratpack1) and people were accusing you of cheating back in 2009 lol.

I am pretty good flyer but I shoot like Mr. Magoo so nobody is accusing me of it  :joystick:

Well you did go to the Salvador Dali school of air combat. I'm not surprised at the befuddlement of the average MA-pilot.

I am not sure that the price is the problem. I think offering a portion of the game for free could spark interest in the game and lead to subscription.

Most people are missing the point of ENY and simply whine about it because they can't fly an uber ride while outnumbering the arena. I agree that when there are 30 people online, it should be turned off. 1 person causes ENY to jump 3-5 points.

great suggestion! In fact dozens and dozens of retired players have voiced that concern in the past 5 years.

And we are still here. It's just that no one would be talking about it had I not caused such a fuss over Christmas/New Year.

I got my haters focused on me and the rest of the community either talking about me or what I am attempting to draw attention too

Regardless of anyone's perception I encourage my haters to go add up my views to threads I have started in the past 30days and then tell me how to garner attention any better in today's Aces High.

Dude....I'm not a hater of you, but you need to shut up and play, or leave.

In 20 years of playing this, I've never said this to anyone.  Does that register?

I don't want to comment on your mental health, but maybe a break or mastering a different game would be good for you.  If you want something to change here and continue playing, you are going about it like a knob.
