Great arena caps

[james]

I know this has been posted before but this has to get fixed or figured out. When it's 4pm est and theres 253/100 in LWO and 13/100 in blue there's not exactly any balancing going on. 13 people in a map that size in blue meanwhile everyone is on the ground playing beachhead2000 doesn't really look too good of a time to go in there. The green has 11/350, purple has 15/350dueling is at 18/200, ava is at 0/200.  We can't get a 350 cap on orange throughout the day at all like the others? We have to keep paying to get a busy signal on the areas we want to go in? Guys really we can come up with some kind of solution for this no? Why the 2 mostly used arenas with the bottle caps on them?

I agree, I just logged on and logged out, cant be bothered playing with a few folks on a map that size, off to read a book.

If you know that this has been posted before ... then you must know what the inevitable outcome of this post will be.

So instead we should not come up with some ideas to change it? Just let things sit as they are? Not that great of an idea since the amount of time i can play is limited and would like to be able to go into any arena whenever I can get a moment to play the game I pay to play no? I'm sure I'm not the only one. Just thinking we as a group can come up with some ideas for settings instead of caps at 100

How about next time you log on, you go to the arena with the lowest numbers?  Then if everyone like minded has the same idea, and makes the same choice ~ they'll go to the arena with lower numbers as well & there would be good fights all around.

Nope, don't like that idea   

[texasmom]

Neither do I. When I log on, I look for the highest numbers & go there. If I see an arena with 13 folks in it, it's an automatic pass.  So thinks everyone else.

tried that, i'm in the blue one right now looking  for a fight. Noone is in here. There was a bomber we shot down. Great fun to be had by all in the blue arena here.
Don't mean to be rude but just hoping we can lift the caps to the same as the others. I don't think that's too much to ask is it? This doens't have to turn into a flame fest. Looking for ideas to take to HTC instead of letting something that obviously doesn't work keep going the way it does.

Do you really believe deep down that i hadn't seen that function or tried it that you had to post that? Had to put that out there huh? Love these guys.

So you searched and yet you felt a whine was necessary?

Brilliant.

I think the only solutions are mort strict then the one we have.  I seriously doubt caps will go away.  It mighht be interesting if caps where set by country, where each country would only have 33.33333333333333333333% of the population, and if one country had lower numbers, you could join.  then again, HT would still have to set a total arena cap...so in a sense more strict.  

You could be forced to join a particular arena....I don't see that going over very well.

given these options, it seems to me what we have is better.  Even though at times you see an arena grossly over capped, I haven't noticed it to take very long for things to even out a bit.  I also think people would be kinda peeved if all of a sudden they got a random boot from the server.

So what else is there to have some form of cap control in the arena?  and don't say just do away with it, cause I don't think that is an option on the table.
