Host Change Thurs 10/19
« on: October 19, 2006, 04:11:35 PM »
Beginning today, we are implementing dynamic arena caps in the late war arenas to allow them to be populated simultaneously rather than having a primary and overflow relation.  These arenas will alternately have their caps raised as population caps are neared.  The caps on these arenas will continue to rise in a leap-frog fashion as more people enter them.

Attempts to join a full arena will now divert you to the non-full arena of the same type.

That's not a very good way to handle attempts to join a full arena...its an unexpected outcome to the players...

...but it is 'slightly' (and by slightly I mean very slightly) better than having the game CTD.

A practical example of how it works might help some to better understand the change.

I dont like this update because my squad is in Late War 1 for example and i cant get on that arena to fly with them.  Plus, there's like 170 people there and it says that 120 can fit in there.  I REALLY dont like it.  
P.S. HiTech, there's a bug in that new Late War 1 map.  A11(knights) has no airfield and you take off from the town.  Plus, there isnt a 163 base near the HQ for knights( dont know about the other countries)

Bug was fixed about 10 mins ago.

And example.

Both arenas start at 120 cap.

#one fills to 80% I.E. 96 people
This will cause #2 cap to be increased to 170.

When #2 reaches 80% i.e. 136 people
#1 cap will be increased to 220 people

Well lets see now were divided between all these, arneas with dynamic caps  thats  something :O


? how will squads link up
? how will friends link up
? How you know where you go

? How few a players you want in a arena I want enuff to have a war not a skirmmish
? Since were gonna be smaller in strengtrh are field targets adjusted
? no more big missions, if you could call them that after the split


i feel this game is shrinking when it was at its peak a few months ago I been off and on since the late 00 i feel this is a bad direction Gone is the online war in ah , remember the good ole days of big buff missions fighter sweeps etc.

climb time +no enemy= not fun
 i'll give it 2weeks
