ENY ENY every time I FREAKIN FLY

[Wiley]

Past is prologue.  This march has been slogged by Brand X already.   I told you 18 months ago.

Oh right.  It's the 3 country system that's killing the game.  Forgot about that one.

Sure isn't helping the cause. . .

[Volron]

Wait, is it the ENY this week, or is it the large maps, or the lack of new maps?  Or is it the ack and GVs and ships?  Or is it the lack of perks on the planes that can run?

We really need to elect an official doomsayer so we stop getting mixed messages.  People need to know what's killing the game so they can complain in a unified manner.

or Switch sides?!

And make things worse than they already are?

It's obvious in USA prime-time that rooks & nights don't fight for bases and double-team bish....so hop sides just to make things worse?  No thank you.

  I love your delusion that they don't fight each other, and that you missed the glaringly obvious opportunity to swap sides and start a fight between the people you believe don't fight each other.

They are clearly correlated here. Anyone who can't see that is. . .

And with only 68 total players (or less) losing even three people over ENY hurts the game.

Fess is one of the guys who makes this game fun.  Are we better off if he leaves?  I don't think so.  And for every person like him who raises a legit squawk twenty others agree without a word. 

I don't care what people fly as long as I have targets.

Monster?  Lol.  One of the weakest planes in the game.  Overrated is being kind.

The bolded is the important part. With 400 players in the MA 10 players joining in or logging off isn't much of a big deal in terms for ENY. With 100 players 10 players logging in or out plays havoc with ENY.

With the low numbers this system doesn't work as well as it does with large numbers. With large numbers players aren't getting hit by ENY as hard or as often, and so less frustration. Now with smaller numbers you get hit more often and much harder and so the frustration level goes up.

Now picture a new player coming in to the arena. He has a much better chance of getting hit by ENY these days and so cant fly the one plane he subscribed for..... the P51 his grandpa flew. Not knowing how ENY works, he may never come back.

Its these little things that can be tweaked to make things work like they did before, like they are suppose to, to maintain the numbers we have until they start to grow again

I hope for your psychological well-being that you don't actually believe that.

He hasn't had a chance to get his chesspiece underoos fitted yet.  He's in an excellent position to switch to the low numbered side.  Or did his grandpa fly Bish exclusively too?

First thing people usually do when they can't up something is ask on a channel, "Why can't I fly the single plane I decided to purchase a gaming computer, HOTAS, Oculus Rift, and subscribe for a 2 week account to this game to fly?  My grandfather's spirit does not rest easy, and my children cannot sleep with his ghost wandering the halls of my home in this state of unrest that can only be assuaged by me flying a P-51 in Aces High.  Their grades are suffering for it, and I fear that they will surely wind up living a life of homelessness and despair unless I am able to fly a P-51."

Where the problem comes in is, the majority of the replies he'll get from the community will generally consist of, "Because Hitech is stoopid" but let's not dwell on that.

Hitech, do not punish 3 generations of people in this family with ENY.  It is cruel.

Why not just make them have a perk cost instead of being unusable? This would be one way for players to use up their perkies or must choose a more difficult plane.

Your lack of knowledge about the other 2 sides is the reason you should switch some. All sides are more the same than different.

I maybe the minority in this but IMHO ENY has had little or no affect/effect.. Not sure which one to use.. on my personal dogfighting experience.. It if had a propeller and a gun I can get a kill in it... Ya I maybe not as fast but I can adust.. but that's just me

[WEZEL]

I find it funny that one side will outnumber the rest by 20 or 30 players and then complain that they cant fly uber rides SMH

What I don't understand is why people think it is better to be ganged by a gaggle of Spit V's, Brewsters, and Zekes than D9's, La7's, and P51's.  I would much rather have the latter on my six any day of the week.
