Change coming soon to arena capping methology.

[hitech]

In this thread I decided to implement a new capping system that Lusche came up with.

http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,292342.0.html

The way it would work is we would have 3 late war arenas A B C. Not sure of real names yet.

A is an off peek arena with very large capacity.

B & C are the same as the 2 LW arenas are now during peak hours.

The difference is that when the switch over time happens all people are ejected from the arenas. And the current arenas are locked and no longer shown on the menu.
And then the other arena is open in the same state it was when it closed.

As an example.

A is open, around 3:00 pm central it closes and ejects all occupants and it's current state is saved (I.E. field ownership stays the same, all destroyed objects remain destroyed). (there will be plenty of warning given before the eject and it will be the same time every day)

Then B&C open in the same state they had been closed the day before.

Some time around 12:00 midnight central B&C will close and eject everyone and A will open.

If you wish to know the pros and cons of the new system please read the linked thread.

[Yeager]

I always said Lusche was the brains of this outfit  

J/K of course.

I figured HT would address the issue soon.  Nice to contemplate an end to the cap whines  

[RTHolmes]

the dynamic caps will still be there, they will just start at 9pm UK rather than 6pm UK.

[dunnrite]

But what will the forum be like without the cap and B29 whines?

Although arena caps have really never effected me, this shows that hitech does listen to the community, and is always looking at ways to improve game play for everyone involved.
