"...correspondence between no fewer than 3 AW squads are doing this on purpose"

IMO this is fine. I think those who do not like this (ME for instance) should rally together with thier squads, in another country, to hand out a spanking. And do this for a few tours.

Now, its come down to 2 countries in the bucket, for 6 weeks now. Thats a record.

I've caught wind of this, that is why I started this thread. In the past it hasn't been as loopsided as the last 6-7 weeks. The MOL have tried to help even out the numbers by not joining the country that has the obvious advantage, but we don't have enough numbers to really make a difference without the cooperation of some of the other squads, and that just isn't happening.

The MA land grab game for some is what AH is all about, others see the MA as practice for the special events. The frustration, because of the lopsided numbers, some feel is because, while having the short end of the stick, their gameplay is relegated to base defence for most of the players. Although it is possible to mount an assult on a base under these circumstances, the resulting loss of territory because of the lack of numbers causes some people to log in frustration. We don't need to have players doing that because, in the long run it is bad for AH and it's reputation.

So, what's it gonna be? Are we going to try to even out the numbers a bit so that the game is more enjoyable for the majority of the players, or are we going to let the lopsided numbers drive people away and create some bad juju for AH?

MrLars, see a re-post of suggestions from users in the past, in the GAMEPLAY forum I posted this morning..HTC is aware of it.

Am I the only guy who breathes a sigh of relief when squads rotate out of my country?

I feel the exact same way when I leave the current country I'm flying.

You wanna know the first thing that comes into my mind when I switch to the next country?

air`s been bishes since the early days and we decided to stay there. Anyway it has been days that i have got the choises to either use a chainsaw and trying to cut my neck away, or trying to lift off from one of the last single base and not choose to change countries in the last minutes like some does to get some lousy earned perkys

Geez....maybe the knits should grow a spine or something. This is the worst bout of whining I have ever seen in my life. I mean, really, you got all those superior LuftWhiner squads over there so you should not have any problems being outnumbered, right?

The only problem I have with the rotating is when the rotaters show up in Bishland and start infesting our country channel with thier whining.....if yer gonna do that, do it in Knitland.

Yeah, I've read it. I was hopeing that the players would do something about it rather than having HTC spend their resources on something that could be fixed by us though

Has the customer base ever solved any lopsided or game play issue anomolies?

(Hint: answer is NO, but, we're damn good at exploiting anomolies!)

LOL...you're right Rip. If this problem follows the trend then in the next patch or version there will be a change and it will come about just like the whole C-Hog debate caused the minimal perk on that bird. Problem fixed and on to new problems, that is the HTC way I belive

The Knights have 15754 kills and have been killed 16172 times against the Bishops.

31926 total kills/deaths

The Knights have 10321 kills and have been killed 11678 times against the Rooks.

21999 total kills/deaths

The Bishops have 13765 kills and have been killed 14804 times against the Rooks.

28569 total kills/deaths

53925 total kills/deaths Bish/Rooks vs. Knights

-28569 total kills/deaths Bish vs. Rooks
--------
=25356

So basically the Bish/Rooks have been gangbanging the hell out of the Knights the whole tour.

Call it whining or whatever you like...it sucks to be on the toejamty end of the stick everytime you log into the MA.

I could of sworn, a few weeks back Hblair said he was moving to the Knights because of this....

If you don't like the situation, WHY did you move to that country?

I must be one sick bastard, because this wouldn't bother me at all. Screw the relief, bring on the targets! I just hope the numbers get skewed the other way soon, so I don't have to read the squeaking.
