Author Topic: Caps too small (Read 305 times)

I just logged in at 12:45 pac time. I want to fly LW1 and it's at 120/120.
Now the next LW has 40 people in it. Comon already. If there are this many people that want to play LW, why are we being forced to go to an arena that does'nt have enough people in it to make it playable.
Please, can we have higher caps? I can not see why 120/120 is too big, there by having to generate a new arena.
Can we atleast have 250? I was happy when it was upped to 390.
HiTech, a simple yes or no will do.

Thank you,
ZZ3

No on static 250 cap.

ZZ,
I assume that the problem is not what the cap is, but that you cannot enter the arena. Whatever the cap is, there would always be a situation where it was full and another LW was started with low numbers.

It would not really matter how many players are in the other arena, when you have to go to the low attendance one, would it?

caps...

when i log in, i look for arena with most numbers...more numbers and fly for low numbers side means many targets.

flying in arena with <100 people on it just is not fun for me. sorry. so when i log on and see LW1 120/120 and LW2 40-70/170 i got to ask myself why? why not have the LW1 cap at 170 and LW2 at 120? makes no sense to me. EW and MW arenas even lower numbers. so many times and dont even get past the log in screen before i close game out.

since the only reason i play this game is for my enjoyment...im finding im playing less. the less i play, the more likely i wont be playing at all...and that thought just sux...for me that is.

No, I took exception to being dumped into an arena with much lower numbers in it.
During peak time when both LW arenas have been say 200, 220, and the other had 170 in it, I was ok with it. But 120 max, then open a new arena? Thats a bit low for me. Atleast for my taste. I was hoping for a larger number.

So, for me, cap size is important.

I understand how this new method works, I understand your trying to balance the population between arenas.

I thank you for your input.

HiTech, I also thank you for your responce.
