It's a dynamic cap.  If you want the cap limit to go up in the full arena, say arena A, go to arena B.  As the limit is approached in B, the cap goes up in A.  Just pop back and forth checking.

The thing I don't understand about the cap is how it's size is determined and when.  I've seen it at 200/250 (Orange/Blue) in what I consider prime time and 400/450 in the middle of the night or middle of the morning when there's not nearly that many people on.

That's confusing.  What I mean is, the limits are greater, easier to get in anywhere, when they don't need to be and vise versa when there are lots of people trying to get into a particular arena.

Although, I've suspected this is just on my front end.  Another conspiracy.

I believe that there are designated time frames when "balancing" is actually active ... when it's off ... the arena MAX is set to 450 in both LW arenas ... which will not go down, nor go up from 450.

The only time cap bothers me is when i cant get in the arena that my squad is in.

I'll wait patiently for the next thread on this topic to be started a week from now.

Yo Mcfly, these threads have been started almostly WEEKLY since the Arena's split.   Almost what....2 years ago?   Yeah, maybe in another 2 years HTC will care?    Wait, they won't because they more important things to do (like Fly Dale's RV8, drink scotch while watching Skuzzy trip over cables in the server room, smell Sudz's farts after consuming raw beef, etc).

I would like to see any fish fried(i dont disagree in any way)but i have not seen any tuna or catfish on the plate seance i started playing (i am keeping in mind im relatively new compared to a lot of people)But i see a lot of valid complaints and not yet has anything been done ....that i have seen anyway.Not that im right(gaww i dont want anyone to jump down my throat)As it seems their is a lot of people that love all HTC dose and they think HTC cant do any wrong.No big deal to me though if it never changes.....heak i hear we are going to have combat tour in two weeks

As it seems their is a lot of people that love all HTC dose and they think HTC cant do any wrong.

This sounds familiar...

What bugs me is when I see Orange @ 300/300, log out for a minute or two and then jump back in to see it @ 304/300, ????

Anyway, I don't care about going to blue except like this morning when orange @ 175/100 & blue @ 38/100. It's just a waste of time then.

Perhaps I'll take a pointer from the other thread and just perma-log into orange.

Sure lots of people complain, ( i think it really is only a small percentage of subscribers, but a large percentage of BBS posters), but the thing that K said is that it is posted with the same complaints every couple of weeks. Those complainers, if they would better use their time to do a search of these boards would find that there have been many discusions about it, with many suggestions for fixes. This by the way is how HTC arrived at the solution they use (dynamic caps) It was one of the things discused and tried and it was what worked best.

If you or anyone else should come up with a better way to keep it fair to the most people wanting to play and keeping the cap under 500 and that HASN'T been mentioned or tried before (please use the search button), I'm sure HTC will very happy to listen.

If HTC tried to change things to please everyone who b&m's regularly about something they'd all short circuit from trying to do 27 different opposing things simultaneously.

htc is now too busy chasing down logs for squeekers that do a mass .report thing in the arenas hehe

better options are suggested every time this topic comes up. until they are implemented, people will continue to post about it. perhaps the endless requests for new aircraft etc take attention away from the stuff that makes a big difference and is easily fixed, like caps, map rotations etc.
