Got 3 flights today till punted
« on: July 31, 2008, 03:19:14 PM »
3 flights today and punted from my selected arena, only to return and be locked out by caps  :mad:

It is strange that a caps change cannot boot you out but it sure looks that way EVERY time it has happened to me  :noid

HTC set it up that way just for you, so you'd have something to complain about while waiting to get back in your arena  :D

Same thing happened to me yesterday right after Skuzzy reset the terrain.     I was able to log back into the new arena and was flying around with 4 scalps when all of a sudden Poof!  Host Connection Lost.     Little ticked off  about not being able to land my scalps but when I tried to log back into LW Orange  nope................... Maxed out arena cap

I've never not been able to get into an arena, even if it's at its max. Sometimes I see a cap of 300, but there's 380 in the arena.

I log into another arena to load the textures and skins. I quit back to the arena menu and most times the cap is reset to 400.

Even if it's full at 400, I'll log in and out a few times and within a few minutes I'll find a slot.

I think many people simply quit trying after one or two attempts. Be a bit persistent and you'll get a slot in less than 5 minutes.

Depends on what time you are usually flying. In my "prime" time the caps are just getting into effect, meaning that I can't get into LWO for much longer than only a few mins.  ;)

Usually but not always true.  I banged on the door for thirty minutes one day before I got in.
I edit a lot of my posts.  Get used to it.
