Current ENY status in the MA at 931am CST

Bishops 20 12 27.2

Knights 6 2 0.0

Rooks 5 4 0.0


ENY has to go. The games population does not support ENY any longer. You are restricting players that show up to play and populate your game at the most critical time in the games history. Insanity....


LET THE MAPS ROLL AND REWARD THOSE WHO POPULATE YOUR GAME BY REMOVING ENY PERMANENTLY.

With all due respect, if we cant get this situation under control by 12/31/2024, December will be my last tour.  :salute

That is plenty of time to address this.


PLEASE!

This makes stuff much worse. Because that's what basically happened in the old EW arena: ENY still existed, but it was meaningless because of the borked ENY values of some planes there. So you had a side outnumbering their enemies by 6-1 and still flying the best fighter in the arena (Hurricane IIC). Didn't help at all. The outnumbered guys just logged off, and the hoarding side was literally capturing undefended bases against 0 opposition and doing high fives.

Imo a better solution would be to bring back Mid-War, many of Joker’s & Co used to live there and now are in MA instead.

Almost everybody at the least occasionally has/does some perk farming and Mid-War would let these guys stagger this play out throughout the day a bit more. So there’s three, positives:
1) some would go to MW instead of MA decreasing the morning horde advantage.
2) a quicker way for the perk challenged to earn back T2/262/163’s
3) smaller morning horde = more willing to fight them (stay or login)

In reality, this game thrives off its prime time #s and majority (%? Idk) don’t really give a rats about what happens at other times of the day.

Shrug.
They're casting their bait over there, see?

Not sure how much more clear this point can be made.  It's up to us as players to make changes (lol, I know right?) at this point; the player base is small enough for that. There's no coading to be done, other than tweaking eny values which would kind of make it even worse than now with limited availability.

Perhaps smaller maps in general as some have suggested, plus removing some of the more difficult maps, but I don't see much traction on that happening.

Surrounded by suck and underwhelmed with mediocrity.
I'm always right, it just takes some poepl longer to come to that realization than others.

Midwar yes!
Back in 2022 after a loooooong break from 2010. Old name Ratpack, same for the BBS.

Squad I did the most tours with were the Excaliburs then The 172nd Rabid Dogs. Still trying to talk Illigaf, Coola, Oldman22, and Joecrow into coming back instead of being boring old farts!

Insanity

The MA is gettnig limitted to EW planes on a regular basis.


THE PROBLEM IS THE GAME IS ENTIRELY UNBALANCED.

DID I MISS SOMETHING CRITICAL WHEN TRYING TO UNDERTAND THIS GAME?

I thought there were 3 modes of play. FFA, Rank, and War.

So the answer to the problem is to continue limiting the logistical capabilities of those who show up and populate the game???

squad is Knight? It was squad night??

This is why we have the problems we do. There is a serious gap in understanding how the war game is in its death throws and we continue to get nerfed as a community when we show up but others dont...

THE LAST TIME I SWITCHED AND DID THIS I WAS TREATED AS A TRAITOR BY TEAMATES...

If this conversation is any indication why eny has remained i might as well start packing now  :rofl

To be honest, I rarely notice things complained about until I see them on bbs. I rarely can't fly a plane I want, but I can always jump in a 190A5.

I will say this. Threatening to leave unless a setting is made is not the route to get the setting changed. In fact it might work against it in spite.

DATA and proof is a better way. HT runs data collections, I'm sure he sees more than us on charts.

I think the setting has a reasoning to justify.

Never seen a player 100% about a game.
To a programmer, no one likes anything they do.
