Well, you can join one of the arenas you don't want to fly in, or you can log back in to the wildly imbalanced arena when it comes back on, or you can log off. I don't like the current reset situation much myself.

I get over myself and go to another arena, or, I exercise a little patience and wait for a slot to open.

When that happens it sucks bad!  It is totally unfair for the paying customer!  Right when you get "immersed" in that arena you can't get back in!  



OK rant over!:aok

Lets see Hub I was IN the wildly unbalanced arena having a good time I get bounced due to internet weirdness....so if I want to continue that good time I am nuts for wanting to rejoin that "wildly unbalanced" arena???

Sometimes (not always) that "wildly imbalanced arena" I want to log back into is balanced AGAINST my country.

So in that case your comment is that if it helps even the odds it's the wrong thing to do?  I thought that was what the side balancing experiment a couple of months ago was all about.

Granted I rarely lose my connection but I do sometimes want to see what's going on in the other arenas then can't get back or can't join the rest of my squad in the first place (and at 7 members total, 2-5 on at any one time, we hardly count as a hoard).

That said I've never had to wait long for a slot to open to get back into a capped arena.

I got dumped (by the reset? was afk) and couldn't get back in either LWA. What I meant by "I don't like the current reset situation", is that I don't like the current setup where you get kicked out, and locked out. In case you can't sort that out, I was agreeing with you. That clear enough, genius?

Odds are a function of knowing how to fly. If you can fly well enough and your country is the underdog then the odds are in your favor since you have more targets.

The opposite is equally true and happens daily in the heavily onesided arenas. If you are new to the game and your side is overmanned you can rest assured that both enemy countries will be attacking one contested field in your country and you will be powerless to stop them in your 8 eny or less plane.

So which is it? Too many on one side and and no planes to fly or not enough on one side with lotsa targets to shoot at. And...since it will never change....does it matter?
