Yeah, arenas are still broken. I had bunches and bunches of good fights for a long time, but when it got later last night, I couldn't find a fight unless I wanted to fly 50 or more miles to find 1 or 2 guys. Flying that far is one thing, but when I get there they are gone and I flew that far for nothing.
It seems to me that it is not how many people in the arena its self that is good or bad, it doesn't really matter. Trick is getting the right amount of people flying the right part of the map at the same time, so things are ballanced.
I don't know much about this game, but would somebody please tell me if any of these ideas would work. Somebody please comment, ty.
1) Have caps on the number of people that can take off from a particular base? Wouldn't this help solve the population problem?
2) If there are only a few people in an arena, have automatic shut down for some of the basses to concentrate things at other bases. Open more bases as more players enter the arena.
3) As it is now, the teams can't really get to each other all the time. For instance, the bish and the rooks may have a great fight going way far down south on the map, but no knight can get there unless they fly 200 miles. Why not have the map broken into maybe 4 quadrants with bases from all three teams in each quadrant. This would solve that problem.
