That's a million and one now. Not that it will make a difference since I seem to be ignored completely.

So I'll have to live with 10 threads a week about this same subject. Options: I'll completely ignore the threads, begin removing them or begin changing the timer randomly between 20 minutes, 3 minutes, 8 minutes and 3.14 minutes. Just for revenge and for the sake of variety on the threads content


Man that would be horrible :(

Trial by combat, Zup! You pick your three best pilots, I pick my four (I'm opting out because I suck). The winner declares the timer!

And apply this differently to each player obviously. So one will get a draw at minute 3 for example, and another at minute 27... this will drive everyone nuts I hope and I can get some popcorn and enjoy the upcoming threads.

But of course, I'm open to suggestions. Someone suggested to also change your rank or airplanes mid air. Or just getting killed for no reason. I may also add some evil laugh during the process.

Lmao. At Least share the popcorn ;)

Zuperman, i am curious. are you collecting raw data from the servers to evaluate? clearly player feedback is not what you seek in this case. how long does it generally take to collect enough data to act on?

But then the chance of getting a populated game is even more reduced. Please just remove the timer.
