4 unbalanced arena

[LYNX]

It's 3dr November 8.28 PM UK approx 3.28 eastern
........Bish Knights Rooks
LWO 50  43 26....who's ganging who
LWB  25  37 42.....who's ganging who

EW   6    7  13.......Who's ganging who
MW  4     3   9........who's ganging who

TOTAL  85     90       90  who woulda been ganged

Total numbers almost even but every arena unbalanced.  The solutions isn't me changing sides to kill a squaddies.  Cascade of some kind all hinged off the lead arena.  SlapShot got the closest so far.

The above is not acceptable and folks is getting miffed.  "Unhealthy"!

this is just WRONG.

with the old single arena maybe...

the problem now is, if you are loosing in 1 arena, you quit and go to another. So you have one arena with too many of you, and one with none.

LW arenas are a perfect example of this.  the "first" arena which is filled during offpeak is balanced. however the side thats loosing starts to quit, and join the 2nd arena. The 1st ends up at the cap, but with 45/55/20 for example. the 2nd arena will be something like 20/10/50.

No amount of country side changing will fix this issues. And as the first post showed, the TOTAL numbers are EVEN.

well switch sides lynx.

some of you guys compain about not wanting to shoot at squaddies, then get your squaddies to switch as well. the whole 'i'm loyal to my chess piece' thing is silly.

just go for it. i quite like flying against bigger numbers, but i am a minority of course.

[Overlag]

switch sides? how does that solve the issue? the issue is people quitting and going to the other arena... one with too many, one with too little players.

overall the numbers are EVEN, its there placement that is not

Here are me choices after being a rook in LW Orange as a rook.  Coulda changed to bish or Knit and made it JUST 36 rook.

OR

LW Blue changed to Bish or Knight where Rooks were the higher number.

OR

Go to 1 of the VASTLY underpopulated arenas.  Arena that I have ab-soddin-lutly no desire to join.

While I'm here.  Did you not read this ----->Everyone in the spirit of side balancing ya think ?

What is possibility of filtering out people of the absurdly-large-dweeb-ridden-country at the arena selection screen? Perhaps a certain % of population over the other countries would make it kick in--mebbe give them a chance to change countries beFORE specific arena login, and freeze them there an hour or so

Agreed balance is all messed up.

Well well ... now people who are getting the watermelon knocked out of them have other choices ... had they tried to balance in the first place and not overwhelmed one side ... they might have stuck around.

So ... people who are having the snot beat out of them have other choices instead of logging like they did in the old days.

Hey ... yeah you ... get back here so I can wack the crap outta yous guys.

I dunno last night the bish were ganging in the EW.  an open truce was declared and mostly respected between the nits and the rooks.  the bish were dropping like so much cannon fodder as usual, the sun rose this morning at dawn, fahami opened his little store and the local winos bought beer for breakfast.  the world seems in order.  what did I miss?

The point I'm making is...You can wack the crap outta me in 1 arena and then I can wack the crap outta you in the other arena.  Then we can chace each other around ALL the soddin arenas all night long and still not get in a situation that is balanced.

Do you really want to be on the over numbered side ?  Do you want to be outnumbered side.  You want to be the gang banger or the bangie ?  

So far you came up with the nearist to best solution as I stated in the OPENING thread,  however you are entitled to change your mind.

Why is it that the most that whine about the new arena changes are pretty much all the ones that need the security blanket of the hord.
