Thats not the case.

If Orange has 310/320 and Blue 30/120 - nothing will happen.

Only if Blue gets closer to its limit too, then Orange arena cap will be increased: 310/320, 90/120 -> 310/450, 90/120

BTW this is not a negative post ..just a simple perspective...having a firm grasp of the obvious is not a bad thing.

I would pay 200$/month for  old MA settings

I've been wondering what became of you Ghi. Arena caps are rarely an issue during morning (est) hours. Hurry back...I miss your mini-horde missions

OK so lets do it this way.....

Orange and blue both have a cap of 450 (MAX cap due to community issues), Orange is maxed out, because all the cool people fly in orange  
Blue has 50 people in it. ( 500 people flying at night is about normal for a weekday)

Any one of you people who don't like or understand the reason for dynamic caps logs in and goes to fly. You one and only choice for LW is blue, and if your lucky the 3 sides are evenly matched to 17 Rooks, 17 Bishops, and 16 Knights ( because we all know knights are ALWAYS out numbered )

At best it will take you only about an hour to find a good fight

Granted, what we have now isn't perfect, but the alternative is worst. Can ya picture how many would be hanging out in the tower in Orange just so they can hang out with the cool people !!!

We had 18 guys on last nite for squad nite....I'm not gonna ask 18 people to stop what they are doing, just because I can't get into an arena, are you?  Although, if I asked they prolly would...i've known most of these guys for 10+yrs.

Oh I read it.  I doubt you will ever find 18 people willing to listen to Wrag singing on squad vox, so the most WM's you will find flying together are 8-9ish.  

The single in the other arena never asked for us to change.  I as the CO offered.  I would rather all of us fly together on a map we don't like than one of us feeling left out.  Actually, one member didn't change and stayed in their arena of choice.

As long as we are flying together, we'll have a blast no matter what arena we are in.

I found myself reading through this again, trying to convince myself this is a good change after experiencing it for over a year now. Not convinced.

I'd rather fly w/ my squad, and if that means moving to join one person, we'll do that. [/B]

Lute,

I think most good CO's would do that .  I know that my squad changes arenas regularly to accomodate players that can not enter an arena.

So far this month I have a 4 to 3 K/D ratio against 5 eny ME-262s while flying 30 eny KI-67s. Nobody should ever consider an airplane with a high eny trash unless they've gotten in it and gave it a few days flying.  I shoot down 5 eny planes regular with these forgotten Japanese bombers. Most guys use them just to torp CVs but the reality is they are simply great "raid and shoot" airplanes. They are the best "raiding" level bomber we have in the game.

                      There are some real gems with higher enys. Some of them are really both under-rated and under-used.

                      The real key is the stick behind it. Ive had some real trouble with higher eny fighters that have sticks in them that have taken the time out to both learn the plane, hone their skills, and hone their bomber attack skills. Attacking bombers is a different ballgame altogether.

                    Why not take a higher eny plane, get some air under it, and go hunt bombers?

Arena caps are totally lame

 ...other day (day time eastern) there was only 207 players total online....yet we were forced to populate 2 arenas ....one of which was a map of over 200+ bases .....this led to me being unable to find anybody to fight .....So I got bored ...and logged off .....why the hell do we need arena caps when only 207 total players online? ....stupid idea


even HTC should admit this

Helm... try the search feature... this has been answered many times.

To bad arena limits and eny can't work together.

The limit sometimes locks eny in one arena and creates eny in another.

I realize a small squad could move to join the one player who can not get in but it would be a selfish and arrogant request for 1 guy to ask a large squad to drop what their doing and move just for them imo. Large squads that are split between two arenas have a choice but possibly at the cost of creating eny in the one they left or the one their going to.
