Just a note to get some feedback. 2 new polls are currently open in the Live Polls section.
If you have any ideas for new polls please let us know.

Alternative suggestion to the fleet penalty:

Increase from 7 days to 8 days.

Done.

As lame as it sounds, I can't alter the polls once they've been started. If I find a workaround I'll add this as an option.

Another example of things to fix on this "new" forum. I swear the old one had more functionality.

Can we get a poll for the Tutorial/Guide system idea as well?

Would the system mean that new fleet members can't do anything for 2 hours while all their fleet buddies are out HA?

Because if it is then that's kind of a shitty deal.

We want to go ahead with the Tutorial/Guide system that you suggested. I have received approval on it and have been asked to work with another GM to plan it out. Was there anything specific that you wanted a poll for regarding the suggestion?

If anything, put a poll up after the system is up asking if we like it; simple good or bad option would suffice. If vast majority say good, leave it, if it's close or bad then take it out and put up a thread here for what we think needs to improve.

And just for kicks; great job so far randy. Your getting more done than yuno did in the past year.. Lol

Sorry about that. The choices would be to either keep it as is, or instead of having the penalty apply after leaving a fleet, to have it apply when joining. HA was provided as an example of what you'd be limited to. The intent of the change would be to limit "mercing" while still allowing players to rejoin a fleet if booted.

Player: i cant play HA for 10 days i wanted to merc tooo :(((((

Fleet leader: No worries i got some spare accounts with BB6's that you can use ;)))

Player: wheres my penalty at now brah?


see where it fails?... Mercs will merc either way you look at it if u dont make the account sharing policy stricter then this is useless.. BUT thats just what i think...

So the goal is to stop players that are not in a fleet and don't want to be in a fleet that want to play the ocasinal HA game with some of their friends who are in a fleet...

There is alot of parts to break down in this. Current way allows mercs to play in HA. I personaly don't see this as a bad thing. Most of the fleets owning harbors are massive. A small fleet is not going to have any chance of putting up a good fight without increasing their numbers. Why is it that the only way I can play a decent HA fight would be to join one of the six fleets that could feild a 65+ player team out of the 150+ fleets in the game. Is is so bad for the fleets with 100+ players to allow a team of 50 to get 20 more for their HA?

Do not get why we only have 2 options that will work in the poll. Ban when you join or ban when you leave, you would think there could be a few more options. Can I get an option for NO bans? Or has something changed that only 4 fleets get to hold the harbor for 3 months at a time. Since changing the ban system would make sure smaller fleets have no chance of winning a harbor (unless defending fleet crashes or something).

I know people will say well alot of players will then fleet jump but honestly its a game and shouldn't the game be trying to let players play not punishing them for joining or leaving a fleet? Most of the bigger fleets are wondering why you have been in 6 fleets and question you about it, so they already have their own filtering system. I personly love to play HA but don't care much for the rest of the game. If your not in one of the big fleets then you don't get to play HA. That is unless you are a merc and you can play at most 2 games a month.

Man its like the game is always trying to kick me in the face and take the last bit of fun out of the game. Instead of working on windows 7 crash fix , lag fixes , ballanceing, dead server issue, and tutorials we seem to need to worry about letting 4 fleets hold the harbors forever with no oposition.

final note

wouldn't this just help the fleets that own a harbor as mecs could still help those fleets becaues they know that they are still owning a harbor just won't allow mercs to help attack. So really this dosn't solve anything only switches so defenders will have acess to the mercs not the attacking team.

Find this funny because as it is curently set up both sides would be able to have acess to mercs. How is this making the game more fair?
