Off-peak whine
« on: February 18, 2007, 11:15:47 PM »
I hate to whine and I'm really trying to not piss and moan about this, so this is just a tempered observation.

Lastnight I logged on to play at a rather late hour and was greeted with 200 in LW blue and 40 in LW Orange + 15 to 20 odd in the other two MAs.

I was under the impression that the great Aces High 'dream' was to create multiple arenas with 300ish people in each? (at least that's what i read somewhere)

LW Blue was capped at 200, so the arena was 200/200 and it took me over an hour and a half to finally get in there to fly with my squad.

Now, given that there was less than 50 in the other LW (which happened to have the same map up anyway), wouldn't it make more sense for the Off-peak cap to be raised so that all of the off-peakers could get into the arena and get closer to that 250 - 300 number?

It just seems wasteful to have 200 people in one arena and 40 in the other especially when both arenas have exactly the same map up.

I understand that the cap is there to 'force' people into the other arena and populate that one too, but these other people just don't play at the times when I do.

It'd be nice to have the oppertunity to fly with my squad in an arena of 250 or so... That gives you enough players to have big furballs and missions and all that without everything getting out of hand.


Thanks for your time gents

Seems to be very logical, and not a whine.
