What's the meaning of the word "Full"

[gpa3]

Constant arena full messages... arrrrgh

At 2:15 pm EST full seems to be 120 players.

At 10:15 pm EST on a weekend full seems to be 300 players or more.


What exactly is full then?

I thought ENY was supposd to take care on any country imbalance.

Then why can the same server be full at 120, that can handle over 300?

Seems like it is being used more like...

"hey dummy user, try this other arena we spent money on that is not so popular"

If that is the case... I have already been to the other arena, I did not like it.

Darwin would therefore say get rid of the poor performing arena instead of forcing it down our throats.

I didn't tell hitech to create an unpopular arena. Take that up with the people who wanted that arena in the first place. Force them into it and let the rest of us play where we wish until the server REALLY is full.

Arena caps never had anything to to with regulating country imbalances.

But, it is his business in his parlor. Just a thought.

If, instead of coming onto the boards a throwing your little temper tantrum, if you had run a "search".... that what that button at the top of the page that says "search" on it is for....... you would have foud enough reading material to make you think you were back in school..... as I'm all sure we all wish you were...... but, to make it a bit easier on you......

The LW arenas are "dynamic". This means that as "blue" gets close to its cap number, it automatically increases the cap in "orange". This also happens with orange, both increasing in population and decreasing in population. The reason for this is to bring the caps up and down more or less evenly. HTC did this because when the cap in "blue" hit 300, everyone had to go to orange. When 330 people were on, one arena was full and the other looked like EW arena. So to make it more fun for more people they connected them together.

Its the way it is, get use to it !


.................oh and as for you being a paying customer, so are the rest of us and he trying to make the majority of us happy. Don't like the way its handled, you can leave.

Your explanation regarding the meaning of the word "Full" makes no sense.

And your "get used to it" comment sounds like what we all read abt the 'golf course' update.

I am a paying customer and I have an opinion. Get used to that.

Okay, since you don't want to read any number of threads that completely and thoroughly discuss this topic I'll sum it up for you.


FULL: NO MORE ROOM IN HERE.

WHY?: The number of player slots changes. LOOK AT THE SERVER SELECTION SCREEN BEFORE GOING IN! It says right there "200/250" or "299/300" or "350/350". The first number is how many are in there, the second is how many are allowed. If you see it's full, CLICK ANOTHER ARENA.

Next time please search. As a kindness.

120 is FULL untill the other arena get close to full, Then the first arenas cap will increase so it isn't FULL. The arenas leap frog back and forth continuing to get full, and then increasing a cap. This continues until we hit the ultimite FULL.

There reason I said to get use to it, is because there was much debate on this topic, and HTC has decreed that this is the way it will be. So get use to it. If on the other hand you can't get use to it, you can leave. It is already a proven fact that complaining about it does nothing. again, try the search button and see what I mean.

Well, I feel that hitech unfortunately has the same condescending obnoxious opinion abt it's users as I read here when people make a complaint abt the game.

The STFU, quit whining or leave posts appear to reflect hitech's company-wide opinion about it's users.

This is very unfortunate.

Ok, I will start actively looking to see what other war games are currently out there. I have left other games. That's how I found this one. This is by no means a goodbye post. I will leave when I feel like it and not before. Unless I am banned for speaking out of course.

Thank you.

when a "sporting lady" has a runny nose?

[The Fugitive]

you can speak out all you want, just be respectfull. You can look, but your not going to find any flight sim that will compare with AH2, but again you are free to look.

Had you done some research here on these boards, you would find reasons for why everything is the way it is. HTC has thought out their responses very well, I feel. Granted not everything is "perfect", but hey if you can come up with a way to make things better go ahead and suggest it. I would however search to see if it has been suggested before, because a lot of ideas have, and HTC has looked at every one of them, and has even tried a few.

 What we have now is much better than what we've had before. Just because it isn't what YOU want doesn't mean it isn't good. I know of one guy who wasn't happy with the way a flight sim was run, he left that flight sim and built Aces High

I find that I can't really agree with you on this one. I see multiple "unhealthy" arenas now instead of just one. That's just my perspective of course. The arena caps and ENY don't affect me at all though since I simply change countries when ENY bothers me

     Boy I bet you're tons of fun to be around.

Interesting how 'senior members' rally to attack a dissenter with personal attacks, stfu, and leave comments.

[Krusty]

Funny... as I look through this thread again, I don't see anybody using the acronym "STFU" but you. Nor do I see anybody telling you to leave (but Fugitive did point out you could if you were so dissatisfied), and it doesn't seem there's been any personal attacks either (unless Storch's was -- I really don't understand what he posted).

So, to me (one who tried to help you, got ignored for the effort) you seem like you're trying to incite a response you've hinted at, rather than are reacting to said response.

You seem to be instigating it.

Just an unbiased* outside perspective, don't take it the wrong way. Might want to calm down a bit and take it easy.


* = semi-unbiased? Well I don't know you and I don't care if you stay or go, is what I mean. I have no designs on your final choice
