Caps are fine and good if the total numbers were the ENTIRE issue.  But the caps doesn't do a thing for sides out of balance. As a matter of fact it aids in the side imbalance worse than ever before.

If an arena goes down in cap from 300/300 to 300/180, then any side imbalance is locked and the only way out is to have others log, side switch or just ride it through.  It would be a long time before any help can come in to aid you if you are the country being swamped.  Most just log and go to another arena.

As far as constantly switching countries from an overage to the underdogged?  I have no set alliance with any country, we switch every month anyway.  But to switch from one side to another for the sole purpose because of being locked in an unbalance created by HT because 2 arenas are pushing around percentage numbers? And for all those posting "switch countries" all this time, theoretically I have seen the numbers shift so much and so fast, that under their theory I would have changed sides every hour for an entire afternoon.

Just an observation.

I agree.

But remember the old MA was unhealthy.! (or so we were told)

Well, does anyone feel healthier yet?

I dunno about feeling healthier but i am definitely bored with the arena caps... i dont believe i have played in at least 2 or 3 weeks.

too damned irritating to start playing, get disco'd and thereby locked out of the fight you were in... also squad participation is down to 25% of what it was due to these really stupid caps - worst change ever devised.

Logged on tonight, orange arena closed 390/320.  I cant get in, squad is there.  One minute later new squaddie shows up in orange.  Must be open now! I go back to try to get in, but still 390/320.  How does that happen?

I'm stuck in Blue with our side getting crushed and close to reset.  Getting vulched is so much fun isn't it?  I repeatedly relog but no change in the max value.  So I don't play and get less for my $14.95 than I used to, and that seems to be OK with HiTech.

Cry me a river I know, but I am curious how my squaddie got in.

I'm not entirely convinced that the split MA is a good thing. yeah, I can see the advantages of the EW,MW,LW AvA and SE arenas, but why the two late war arenas? I understand it was an attempt to improve response times by breaking the action up over multiple serves, but it really annoys me when the arena caps start to affect the gameplay.
Why mnot dedicate one server to accomodate the most frequented UNITED late war arena and host the other arenas on the other one?
If the SEA has it's own server, why not do the same for a united late war arena?

S!

sorry, but it's not a choice when an explaination states "Number of players allowed."  my 2 cents

S!

All of you are absolutely right!

Screw multiple arenas, let's bring back a single arena.

All hail the faceless horde where ACM and skill mean nothing!

Resistance is futile.  You will be assimilated!
