News: 12hrs side-switch LWA
« on: July 19, 2011, 04:06:45 PM »
Posted in the news forum... 12 hour waiting period for side-switching.

I would personally like to thank the dweebs who caused this to happen - it put a crimp on short-term ability to switch sides for balance.

I'm not in a skawd, I have no chess-piece loyalty. I do not care about "The War."

Meh.

Wow, they want me to take another break from the game. 12 hours, that is awful. I guess its time to attempt to enjoy doing milk runs and toolsheding. :(

Late war country change time has been increased back to 12 hours. That is how long you will have to wait after changing countries before you can change again.

Well lets see, last time I switched countries was umm....6 years ago. When's the next time I may want to switch? Don't see it happening in the near future.  :D

When the knights were close to winning the last map bish squads jumped aboard thinking they was going to get perkies i guess, complete BS on their part and shows how people value the ol mighty perks and play accordingly.

IIRC you had to be on a side a certain amount of time to be eligible for win-the-war-perkies?

I too want to thank all those whose actions have contributed to this. I know you won't be hurt by this limit in any way for you can still use all other ways to get your "valuable" information, but at least it puts an effective stop to those  who changed countries to meet friends or to find a fight that doesn't consist only of a full green darbar. Well done!

meh, let them have perkies, they'll mostly up 262s and loose them in their first or second sortie anyway. If they can't earn them, they won't be able to utilize them.

IIRC it's 4 hours of previous gameplay on the winning country.  

This kinda has me  :headscratch:...

You basically only get to switch once a day now, doesn't seem like that big of a deal to me. Instead of being to be able to play for every single country in a given night now you can only play for two. Will there be guys who wanted to switch to country A but accidentally picked country B and are stuck with them till the next day? Sure, and it's a pain. I'd like to thank the combination of the mega-squads and the supposed white knights of the community that do everything the code will allow to thwart them.

That's the impression I'm under, evidently they were clueless to that fact. funny part was them saluting the knights as they switched while half of their squad stayed bish.  :rolleyes:

 :rofl :rofl Genius, I love it, its so true... Just log on at 1am PST (gmt -8), and without the ability to switch sides, it's a snore fest.
