daytime uk playing
« on: February 13, 2007, 08:34:01 AM »
ok this will be classed as a moan and it is.

today came in to play the game in morning uk time in all four arenas there were a total of 100 players most of them being in one of the late arenas.

 70 odd people in late and a crap map is not fun,tried all the arenas and the only fight going was in the late one with the most people.

 i know we are stuck with 4 arenas but if you aint a american playing in american peak time the game stinks.

this has been the best game by miles for online play but now its feeling like all the others and starting to look like them too.

this used to be a good game i loked forward to playing each day when a ten minute play extended to 4 or 5 hours.now its 4 or 5 minutes.


 when is combat tour coming this is the main reason for me staying here or at least sort out these four arenas properly.

The player base has been notified and all rooms will henceforth be filled by Americans who will be required to skip work so that enough players are around for you to enjoy the game the way you deserve to.

no worries many American's jobs are being taken by indians who work twice as hard for less than half as much.  you'll have playmates soon enough.  if they can afford the subscription that is.

Yea I feel yea.. I'm in the US but I run my own web biz from home so I end up with a screwed up sleep schedule. I end up playing a lot of late night early morning and I can tell by the accents a lot of the players are European.

I also notice the off peak times seem to be a bit dull, but can normally find a good fight, but nothing like US peak time. Maybe the solution is for HT to advertise more abroad, to pull in more European players to fill up the servers in the off peak times. Maybe even target the Asian market, I'm sure this game would sell well to both markets.

I actually prefer it when its quieter.  

I'm all for a mass furball but its nice when you can have some 3 vs 3's etc.

Rogerdee its not as if the game is totally boring at these times I have no problem with finding myself in trouble and outnumbered.

The worst hours are about 10am-1pm GMT ish Before the aussies get swinging and after the USA players have logged.  Sometimes can get down to  60-70 players in LW as a bare minimum.  

Anytime after this its picking up all the way through again.  Obviously Fri, Sat and Sun there are slightly more people on.  The weekend flyers are great fun too insert  kills here  ;)

If you find yourself with no squad mates about maybe look for a British squad.

if thats trying to take the  micheal out of rogerdee's thread, go suck a  lemon because that is a tottally pig headed attitude, remeber we ALL pay 15$ and should get the same 15$'s worth of play where ever possible.

if it's sarcasim....:lol

i am also british, and it does suck, maybe during off peak hours cap should be lifted to accomadate the caps should be lifted in one arena so we can congregate?, pllleeeeeeeeaaaaaassssseeeeee e HT.

no the hispanics are all flooding the welfare system and stealing all the blond women the blacks haven't gotten yet. (also not being racist)  if you want proof just look at akak's location.  he spells it out quite clearly. and don't believe him he really wants your job and if he doesn't I do.
