Somebody else brought this up (Kweassa?), and I think it's a good point.

Locking the cap only locks in the imbalanced sides. Doesn't kick out any of the hording country, doesn't allow others in to help even it out.


Basically you're sealing in the badness.

No easy way around that, though. There are complex suggestions such as placing a cap on each COUNTRY in an arena, but the KISS principle says that what we have is a compromise between what we need and what we can get done in a short time frame.

Last night was an utter joke.  Close to 50 Bish logged out of Orange and into Blue simply because at the time things weren't going so well.  ENY was a non issue before this, then it went straight to hell in a quick few minutes.  

I just don't get it.  People would rather fly in a huge crowd, fight over a few scraps and complain about how they can't fly their "ride" when the opportunity is there to fly it, and to actually find a fight.  Instead all I see is pointless circlejerking and scurrying about doing anything except actually enagaging in combat with another human opponent.

Just another post with no substance.


Here was one partial suggestion:

Had I been able to see the map names, player balances and territory balances before log-in, knowing none of my squaddies were up, I would have gone to and remained in orange. As it is, the only way I can make a decision as to which arena I want to fly in is to go into each one and look, in which time the one I end up wanting to fly in might be filled as was the case tonight.

I've made a couple more since.

And there's the problem.  I could easily log into blue and join the hoard.  I couldn't get into orange at all to help where it was really needed.

... And quit shooting me down Stang :)

Without more exposure for the trainers, advanced tutorials, and a willingness in the newb and veteran community to learn and teach , this game with continue to degenerate from an incredible massively multi player online combat flight simulation into a pointless non combative "wtf is an acm" circle jerk.

That was its basic premise ... now I believe that it encourages arena switching (primarily within Late War only) more than side switching.

How about a .disco [arena name] command which will randomly disconnect someone in that arena.
Be careful though, it could disco one of your squadmates or if you are not quick someone else will fill the spot you just created.

Yea, I fell outa bed this morning and bumped my coconut.

Nilsen ... that could very well be true, but only if the word "huge" fit ... and in EW/MW the population is far from huge.

Krusty ... you absolutely correct ... I spend most of my time in there trying to prevent it ... that is where I find my "food".

I would fly in LW more, but the "fighting over scraps" is what I can stomach anymore ... epecially since I mainly fly the FM2.

I work a guy over, or am working a guy over, and there are tons of squeeking heros that feel the need to swoop right in and snatch my "food" right out from underneath me.
