Side switch times

[BiPoLaR]

The 12 hour idea was absolutely horrible.

[Changeup]

1 hour switch time is way too long.  I know that because many a time I would switch to a country that I thought was having a good fight and it would be just a base taking mission and I was stuck for another hour on the wrong fricking side.

I can tell you that never happened to me one time.  I switched plenty to the low side for any fight.  It sounds like you switched for a specific fight that you didn't do your homework on.

A 12 hour switch thread just wouldn't be the same without semp turning up  he doesn't like the 1 hour switch because people who were flying with him all bailed out switched sides upped from the base he was capping and shot him down  since the 12 hour rule they just bail and don't hit 'o' on the way down when he starts talking on range 

Ah, now I understand.

wasnt a response posted 2 or 3 years ago?

The "just cause" was the most expleining answer one could ever think about.

simple solution, allow anyone at anytime to switch to the country with the lowest numbers.  You don't get to pic the side, it's an automatic switch once the player decides to switch to help balance the numbers.   At the same time, Any player that is in the tower or not moving/ Playing for 15 minutes, should have their session terminated or not counted in the ENY numbers.  That way the eny will be more accurate.

Reducing the switch times would motivate me to return, maybe!

This game is so incredible, but there is just something (unidentified as of yet) that keeps pushing back. Just can't put my finger on it.

But changing the 12 hour rule would definitely help.

Losing it is an awful tragedy..     ^^^ Does not makes sense because it will be abused just like everything else in the game..  like dealing with monkeys.. is it not?

heres the kicker guys.. as you log on, you are matched to a side based on numbers.. or better yet just stay faithful to the current eny system and expand your horizons as far as what your flying.. it won't hurt that much i promise..

I don't recall that but I'll call Ardy and ask him.

The 12 hour rule is absolutely chromosomally challenged.


There is a T-Shirt for people who like the 12 hour rule.

Ye gods....just change the damned time!  At least it would drive a change in the theme of the endless postings complianing about side swtch times i.e. more posts from the "chess piece loyal" complaining the old way was better, less from the furballing elite complianing about not being able to find a fight / be with squadies, etc etc ad infinitum, ad nauseam, ad adsurdium.

that takes away player choice,  What I have been hearing for years , decades even is that players want the ability to change sides to help balance out the numbers and because of the current 12 hour rule they can't really do that.  What I'm saying is, if a player wants to switch sides to balance numbers, they should be able to do so with no restrictions.   They should be able to click on a button in the clip board and automatically be placed onto the side with the lowest numbers.  If they don't want to change sides they don't have to push the button.
