Changing some settings to the ENY

[hitech]

These are the current settings in the system. All charts are based on the smallest country having 100 players.




New settings.




In addition we will be changing the minimum total players before the ENY becomes active from 140 to 200.

Cool, will be interesting to see the impact.

Just to make sure I am reading this correctly. The modified system limits slightly less for a small advantage in numbers but more for a large advantage?

So it looks like a steeper climb that starts at 135 over 100 instead of 115 over 100 and peaks at ENY 48 when the number hits 225 over 100 instead of  235 over 100.

am i reading this correctly that it takes longer to affect med. ENY rides, but when it kicks in, it affects 'em faster?

[Octavius]

Sorry I don't really follow.

If the low-number country has about 100 players, would the x-axis represent the disparity between low country and outnumbering country?  

If thats the case, then when ENY *does* kick in at 200, bam we're at 38ish ENY right off the bat?

I dont think I'm seeing this right..

Just to see if I understand this correctly, does this mean ENY kicks in once a country has 35 more people than the smallest country?

No xHammeRx: The numbers are just an example. It depends on the percentage wrather than numbers. I.E. take the player count in the small country , then divide your country by the smallest. I.E. int this example smallest is 100.

So if your country has 135 it would be 135/100.

To me it looks like until 'your' country has twice the smallest country's numbers the penalty is slightly lighter than before. But, once you reach 2 to 1, the penalty is larger under the new system. Is this correct?

It looks to me like the lower graph crosses  above the top graph at around 190/100.  So yeah, basically the punishment is relatively lighter until you have a 1.9:1 ratio, after which it becomes increasingly severe until it reaches the upper boundary.  

This should give some more leeway to marginal but not overwhelming numbers advantages, which I think really encompass most of the complaining we've seen.  It also puts a serious penalty on uberhordes.  Sunday nights will become relatively more difficult for Rooks, though I suspect it won't do anything more than slow the steamroll.

HiTech,

I'm not sure this is the place for it, but I was wondering if the time delay for switching countries could be lessened or, prefferably, removed when switching to the lowest number country.  I doubt spying would be that large an issue as most people so inclined probably have multiple accounts already.

It would be nice for the people who are really dedicated to a particular ride to always be able to switch so as to get their ride.  As it is now they can switch once and then if the numbers in their new country grow over the next hour or two they cannot switch to the low country to get their ride.

[Roscoroo]

So is it still active ... when all three countrys are below 100 players each ???
  Or does this still go by total numbers ?

It also doesn't kick in until there's at least a 40% or so disparity. As opposed to a 20% or so disparity under the old system, that is a big improvement in my opinion.

Thanks.  % makes a lot of sense.

thanks HT for taking the time to analyze the impacts of ENY and make adjustments to it.
