I don't want to play in a 60 player arena

[FiLtH]

I want to be where the most people are, but its full. Please increase the size of the LATEWAR 1 arena to 500 people.  250 is not big enough.

I totally agree.The game is becomming boring.I find myself logging off for lack of anything interesting to do.If HiTech is determined to divide the arenas,then at least up the caps!

[TinmanX]

Appreciate this, as I see it;

The old MA had a cap of what? 750?
That was on a single server.
There is still (as far as I am aware) only a single server running the new 3/4 Arena setup with the caps at 250/arena.
Without buying a new server, I don't see how HTC can up the cap limit safely - by which I mean maintaining game stability. If it was one of my servers, I would up cap on one arena only by reducing cap on the other arenas. Which of course is only moving the problem elsewhere.

This is assuming of course that the previous cap of 750 was established as a benchmark of game and server stability.

I don't know what type of server HTC uses to run the game, blade, tower or rack but a server these days can cost anywhere from $1500 to $20,000 somethimes even more depending on configuration. Not something I would invest in unless the numbers demanded it for all arenas.

I would assume HT already uses clustered servers.

Filth, choose not to pay for a game that keeps getting major tweeks when it isnt even broke. this is my last month, and I'm not sad one bit  because I know what the product is and I dont like it. If I was to have quit the game before this new setup, I would've been major bumbed.

[MrRiplEy[H]]

Quit your whining and come to early-war to play the real furball game.

This game is finally showing its potential.

Well so far I havnt seen close to 750 people combined in the arenas so what would it hurt. If they got a big jump in subscribers all of a sudden, they would have to upgrade anyway. The arena setup the way it is now works great on sundays with so many people but the rest of the week you have 2 dead arenas and another one that is packed.

Love the idea of different arenas, But like SO many have stated, game play is crappy with the low numbers. Extremely bad idea IMO. I would rather they used RPS. This way you get variaty, and enough in the arena to have FUN. Hec, make 2 arenas holding 400 each if the reason for the change is smaller arenas.

Members in my squad are logging off hours earlier than they used too, due to bordem. SAD to see.

Strip 100 out of the mid war right off the bat, make it 150max as I only see 20 some odd ever in there. The early rarely has 100+ so take another 100 out of that,making EW a 150max. Apply the 200 gained to the Late war 1 arena making it a 450 arena. Do away with late war 2 and make Late war 1 a 500 arena.

    Then continue monitering arenas and if often maxed at 500 make it bigger. Thing is we are used to 600, not 250. It makes a difference in gameplay, not to mention getting in at all, or flying with squads.

    Take this as input from a run of the mill player, not as a direct whine. I know nothing about servers, and the loads they have, but I do know fun.

I'd rather play in the 8-player arenas.  At least there people you can find to have at it.

Does full potential means 20-30 per side and a few furballs here and there with no tactics/strategics going on? Do I have to come to an early war with a mid war plane set just becouse big mouths here are used to furballs? C'mon.

[MrRiplEy[H]]

Thats the beauty of early war arena, no base porking hordes run amuck there.

It's just AH at it's purest form, furballing with dexterous planes. And no LA7 dweeb sneaking and running.

[rogerdee]

not every body likes furballing when will people reconise that  .a lot of people like other things  base captures  gvs  strat runs not just furballs.

[MrRiplEy[H]]

Umm what stops you from achieving that in EW? It all boils down to the point that most people want to dweeb around in LA7's.

I will say, I even find myself logging off from boredom, and I am not normally like that. I used to play every waking moment, but now, ill just log off and watch TV. Im not going to un-subscribe, I still enjoy the game, just not as much. I too agree with the rolling plane set idea. You just dont have the numbers, which is my biggest complaint with every game. And I have done what I can, I have turned as many people on to this game as I can. I have made discs with the link to the site, a few movies, screenshots, just to entice my freinds into the two week trial. I am trying to get as many people on as I can in hopes it will give the numbers a little boost. But no, even they dont like this arena setup, and they never saw the old one. Truely sad.
