12 hour side switching

[sunfan1121]

Still sucks.

Did they go right from an hour to 12 out of no where or something?

[Soulyss]

It did come as a bit of a surprise, however it wasn't so much a change as a return to the way it once was.  Basically one late war arena equals twelve hour switch time.  The one hour switch time came about with the arena split, when the game returned to a single arena we returned to the old time limitation.

Figured they would go slowly into it....like 2 hours...see how it does then 3 and so on

I wish hitech would tell us why he did it.

I personally don't care, as I don't switch sides.  I think the 12 Hour does add more to the "SPY!" comment than the 1 Hour did, as many squads do change teams.  If more log on and end up saying, "We're fighting Knights", but two guys had switched to Rooks a couple hours earlier, you end up w/ 2 guys on another team with the rest of the squad on another team and absolutely nothing they can do about it.  I do think that 12 hours is a bit long, perhaps a maximum number of switches a day rather than a time limit could be imposed?

He did it because thats the way it was, and it works. Well not for the guys that like to jump to find fights. With the 12 hour limit the sides start pretty even. I was on for about 8 hours Saturday and the numbers were pretty even all day. The rooks did get ganged a bit, but there is always one team that does. We had a horde on each front. While those are not the type of fights I like I made do. I spent almost 8 hours defending at one base or another. In all I had maybe 3 fights that I would call "good" the rest were picks or running from half a dozen when I got too low.

Had the time limit been 3 hours instead, I would have jumped to the Knight side and hit the Bish from that end (they had the numbers all day). 3 hours later I could have still switched back for some Saturday night ops as a Rook again.

why dont you guys who like to have great fights and cant find any around pm each other and meet somewhere for some epic battles.  I mean there's at least 10 of you who always complain about the lack of quality fights.  there's even the usarenas you can go to.  no time limit there.

I can't answer for the "other guys" but personally I like playing the game. I like helping out which ever team I'm on ( mostly Rooks now that my "choice" to switch has been neutered). Whether that means hauling bombs on my fighter to hit a base before I provide air cover, or I up a turny plane to defend against the endless NOE hordes. While dueling is a great way to get better at fighting, is not all that much fun to me.

Yep.  Right past Go, and did not collect two hundred dollars.

You missed it badly. Theres the DA if we wanna fight each other. But we cant wing up and crush the hordes. Go hordes, go
