1st topic that i remember.......hmmmmm :rolleyes:

(the other topic was BEFORE the 2nd changes, which infact made it worse, hence this)

We did switch to the low numbers side, which might have helped too.

Maybe that's not late enough to see the impact but I flew longer and fought more consistantly and constantly last night then I had in a long time.  It was a blast :)



Great,

Now send me 2500€ per month so I can leave my job and play AH at night instead of spleeping.

Guppy,
I am just wondering... how does it help the people who cannot find the fights in their timezones or cannot enter "full" arenas to tell them that YOU can always find fight and are always having fun?
Good for you, I wish we all had such luck, but your luck does not help those who do not have what you have!

Guppy, this has little to do with changing sides.

There IS a problem finding fights during Euro times. Some days i get lucky and manage to pick a fight that lasts for a bit. Most days I dont - then i have the choice of milkrunnin or logging. Will probably be found in TA then.
21 is only half the truth.

bish / knight / rook @ 15:40 CET

EW: 7 / 7 / 9
MW: 3 / 5 / 5
LW1: 121 of 120 - can't join
LW2: 1 / 3 / 3

the new cap may be great at peak times, but here's no "war" to join offpeak. hardly to play any mission, and if yet it becomes a milkrun...

i would advice against this cap at offpeak.

doh, you beat me too it.... (or, the LW's to have a starting cap of 60, that way we would have two arenas with 60ish people which wouldnt be so bad.)

I truly wish there was some "carrot approach" to divide players to more than one arena (when/since that is required).
The current "stick approach" may cause more log-offs than build-up for the emptier arenas :(


Btw. Folks.. there is a North Africa Close Escort event at SEA tonight... 20:00 GMT. Walkons welcome!
Fights guaranteed, no arena cap :aok

the way i read it was that when one arena was appraoching full capacity the cap limit on it went up or it places you in the other arena automatically.I can see somewhat why no one can find a fight because to get some of these AH players to fight now a days you have to turn around and show them your 6 before they will get the courage to fight.Now i am not saying that this person is you overlag, but i just don't see how you can't find any fights when the rest of us are having no problems time zones or not.Sometimes the fight will find you.

Personally i like the new arena set up compared to the old way.In the old MA there was to much LAG, to many LA and spit 16 dweebs everywhere, nothing but cherry pickers and vulchers.Now just about all of that is gone and the fun that i enjoyed before the AH commercials came out  is back.
