Side Balancing......huh?

[TwinBoom]

think this is bad?
the other nigh it was 122 bish
97 knights
45 rooks
how is ur side balacing thing working up above .5 envy with almost 30 plus
in the air im baffled

even with balancing when its lopped theres a stinkin arena cap so no more players can get in Hitech ur plans need a little reworking

[Meatwad]

Poor rooks

[Roscoroo]

i've seen alot worse lately ... 140+ on the high country side 60 on the low ... and this during primetime in the LW arena's .

its almost time to bring back the Famous RJO on sunday nites .

[Grits]

I dont mind. The other night I flew a Temp, it only cost 12 perks because the modifier was 4.4 or something. 262's were like 48-52 perks.

It just says that side balancing is enabled; it doesn't say that it's effective.

so hows is either country in this situation suposed to fight
or even get fun or decent gameplay?.....bollocks

I prefer to be on the side with fewest numbers.  It's kinda like flying a plane with .50 cal guns.  I like the challenge.

And... it's easier to find targets.

HONK!

EW and MID arenas

4 AM in the UK so just before I go I visited both LW arenas

Total players on ........634

Bish......................... ...209
Knight....................... ..202
Rook......................... ...223

10% more rooks total than knights one could argue but if every LW player was in JUST one LW arena that's pretty much balanced as you could get.  Plus no ENY

No one side dominating the arena.  Knights not getting out numbered in all arenas.  
Poor knights they should have a third arena LWgreen so they can dominate in there because I know we ain't going back to a "single" MA

Frankly, my opinion is 2 X Late Wars is passively promoting imbalance.  In the words of our old mate from "highlander" ...." There can only be one "

[bj229r]

either enforce side-balancing or have 1 ***** arena:mad:

[Mr No Name]

One LW arena would solve the vast majority of the problem.

[hubsonfire]

On the bright side, we're a happier, kinder, gentler multiple arena population.

[WMLute]

I wish HT woulda kept the "Force you to fly the low side" thing.

It was a great idea.  Might have needed tweaked somewaht, but it kept the arena sides much closer.

and where do I buy those rose tinted glasses.  

happier
When channel 1 was detuned a year or two ago I didn't bother tuning channel 200.  This September I was off work Ill and tuned to 200 again to see whats what and guess what ?  It's still a crappy nasty stupid channel.  There is still the sarcastic crap, the threats, the bravado, posturing, meanderings of imbeciles and the occasional "well done".  
Channel 200 is a detractor.  Little more than a soap opera with posers, postures and voyeurs.

kinder
Ever tuned to channel 6?  Not a lot of helpers about.  As for the green channel.  Plenty of help as it always had.

gentler
Some folk complained bitterly about the hoard.  So the hoard was countered by making fields harder to pork and or de-ack.  This in turn is  creating hoards to capture.

multiple arena population.
Getting your arse kicked in one arena?  Just rub in the new improved Late War cream "Multi jumper".  Within days all the arse kicking will be cured, except if your Knight in which case it doesn't matter anyway.  You can join an arena confident that the vast majority of the population will have the same soft green completion.  "Multi jumper" a passive imbalance cream at an arena near you.

OK, remember we are in a holiday / vacation period.  We are going to see a lot more players about but the bottom line is the "bottom line".   New changes good for newbie retention ?  Well, lets check the roster at 4AM UK time (11pm east jan 30th) on January 31st.
