Are you trying to stop us from hijacking your thread?  Thats crazy talk right there!  

And yes, I do agree with you on the funky arena caps.

Perk cost could be rank related.  Not overal rank but fighter-attack rank, bomber rank and gv rank.
Except for the 262 and 163 otherwise it would be a jet and rocket convention.

Don't really think rank has much to do with .. well ...anything really...  Its just a exploitable mechanism if you choose to game the game.

Absolutely. If you tie perk costs to rank, it's a simple matter to wreck your stats and drive them down. Rank isn't worth **** as a means to do anything but list people by numbers. Oh, and you get to be the skipper of the USS Minnow.

im not sure there is a better way for HTC to "spread" the load other than these arena limits.

we've mentioned countless times about maybe having it so the country with lowest numbers can join the arena regardless of total numbers in the arena, but i not sure if thats possible and i aint seen HTC coment on that idea either.


BUT.... the lobby is down now. maybe they are upto something now? :noid

All over these boards i read about "bishtards" " Bishhorde" "bishdweebs" and on and on the bish are masters at getting the country behind a cause and we have alot of great mission planners FALCON23- joker2 and many others. Once the fire gets lit the bish cant be stopped, so all the name calling and dirogatory cracks about the bishops is just  missplaced anger because nits and rooks dont have the same tight bond that the bishops share.In short BISH GOT GAME!!!!!!

I also dislike arena caps.  However, Im slowly coming to the conclusion that I dislike Super Tuesday even more.  Reminds me why multiple arenas were implemented in the first place.

What do you think it will be like if overall numbers increase?  Its all the same...  The only thing you are saying is you don't like substantial numbers in an arena.


Now, if you wanted to address gameplay issues.....>

Solution:
Simply switch from "Bish" to another side of your choice, (there are Two others, FYI) and find some good fights.


Second solution...
Fly high eny rides with your bishbuttbuddies.

Third solution...
Go do something else.  It's a game...




Jeeze Moray, You REALLY need to come up for air sometime...

I fly Bish (mostly), My squad is a Bishop squad, and more often than not we Bish are fighting outnumbered. Furthermore, Vulching and flying in a huge hoard is not the sole domain of the Bishops... I've been vulched by Knights and Rooks more than once in the past WEEK! Your thinly veiled insult does you no credut sir!:p
