Be part of the soloution.

MANY times I've seen whacked arena caps.  If blue gets up to about 170...join it and bide your time.  Seems many times when it gets to 175 it kicks a magic number and Orange allows more people in.  Give it a try sometime.

Good Luck!    :salute

Agreed. Oh yea BTW, the only reason why its hard to get into the arenas is b/c Its sqeeker season.

The real problem is the sucktastic maps that crop up.  I would happily fly in Blue all the time if it weren't for a few maps that I hate enough to attempt to get into Orange.

Something stopping you from selecting another arena?

Yeah the want to go to one when my squad is in the one I got disconnected from and a good fight is already underway. Yeah that makes me not want to go to the other arenas. Problem with how I put it as paying for what is the equivelant of a busy signal or something?

I agree, this BS player limiting is annoying as hell. I pay for this game to go where I want, not to be told where to go. I want to go play with my friends, not go into a nearly empty room that will never get populated.

HTC should change the way they do this player thing, maybe combine the two servers because its completely useless the way they do it right now.

I think its rather stupid when some times both arena's will be something like 90/400 in one arena and 120/400 in another. Then when there are more people on its something like 320/250 in one arena and 70/320 in another arena. I think that both LW arena's should have at the very minimum cap of 300 at all times.

I don't get why you even typed that, you know it's stupid.

If i get kicked from a server and want to get back into it with my squaddies and play that's a me me me attitude? Wow I didn't know that would be really selfish of me.

So your saying that with lets say 400 in the arena, it's locked to anyone else, but only 200 of the 400 are actively playing in that arena, rest just sitting waiting or not even online, should preclude anyone else who actually want to fly in that arena from joining? I'm thinking the guy camping the arena without actually playing because he has the "ME" attitude for that arena should be stopped.

Personally i never have liked side balancing or eny and i've made my feelings known from the start. I fly for 1 country at the start of the month and stay there for the month. I take the good with the bad as far as numbers and rides go. I may not like it, but hey it's a war simulation and in war i wouldn't just jump ship if i was loseing, i'd fight harder and smarter. Sure i might lose but at least i'd know i tried my best.

I have a mixed opinion about the server caps, except for daytime hours.

Recently, Hitech changed the total for Orange which is great until that period of time comes to a close (about 2pm est). At that time, even if there is 300/100 guys in Orange, Blue will have 30/250 or so and makes life difficult for those with limited flight times.

I wish they'd have a small map in Blue at all times to take advantage of the smaller numbers in there and also to give a nice alternative to Orange's large map. Then again, that is another discussion altogether...

With the exception of Titantic Tuesday, the LW max number I've seen is 400. Why not just leave it at 400?

As far as "squatters" go, perhaps code a maximum 30 minute inactivity cycle whereby thereafter you're bounced back to the lobby.
