Side switching

[Bruv119]

I wish for a player to be able to swap to the team with the lowest number of players instantly. 

Off hours sees some dramatic swings.   Bish 15 knights 2 rooks 5,   then 1 hour later could be  20 bish 12 knights  7 rooks etc. 

I believe this will help when things are super quiet and encourage players to switch from the high side and alleviate Bish whines about ENY being sky high forcing them to log when they should carry on playing but with more equal team numbers. 

For trial period only lets say <60 players online this is enforced which will be a few hours a day.

For my peak times - afternoons in Europe - about 5 a.m. to 10 a.m. Dallas time, this would be fantastic. I often swap countries to get a fight only to find several on the enemy country have just left and them I'm trapped. Also ENY swings rapidly at this time. Often the sensible decision is to just log off and watch a film instead, say. I'm sure others are doing the same hence the sudden drop in numbers.

+1 or at least take it off during a certain period of time during the 24 hour day.

Just totaled the numbers for the first seven months of 2016 and compared with the first seven months of 2015.

2015: 1,613,459 total kills in LW.   230,494 kills/month average.

2016: 1,196,572 total kills in LW.   170,938 kills/month average.


That's 416,887 kills or 59,556 kills/month average loss from just one year ago.   




+1 on the wish btw.

A couple of years ago this game was completely different...lower population in the MA has had dramatic changes in gameplay during off peak hours and the flat out fact is this is almost necessary for the game to be even playable for a lot of Euro players.

+1,000,000 to the OP.

I really can't see a downside to this wish for anyone with the present European daytime state of play. It will probably sustain the lower end of numbers instead of supress them further (which is happening now), provide more stable balancing of teams and solve the issue ENY is trying to address but successfully instead of conflictingly.

Going to sound elitist this, but if you don't play on this timezone you have no comprehension of how bad the situation is. I can name half a dozen players who've quit for good who've cited European daytime low numbers as the main or indirect cause.

You need to filter out the gang kills if you are gonna post total kills in the arena.
