It's so frustrating to log on and see 83 on in Blue and 26 on in Orange. 83 sucks for fights. If you're very lucky you might find a 3 enemy-con fight. That sucks.

The extra 26 players makes such a huge difference to gameplay..... If you break it down it only adds up to about 4 or 5 extra players per side, per front but that can make all the difference between an undefended base and utter waste of time and a dramatic and tense fight on the ground and in the air.

very true, just as there are max numbers for a good fight (ie restrict hording) there is also a min number or critical mass for a fight in a 3-way arena...

Its simple there is no capping arena there is no need on week days for 2arenas before 1 to 2 pm eastern. All u have is 2 bishop squads milking bases u put up defence they go away. they want to milk You up to kill they whine and move to another base or side. change over to other side and they go back to hitting rooks.  keep arna closed when not needed and these 2 squads (plus a few others )  will have to learn to take defended bases which will make for fun fights.  right now its 20 nits 28 rooks and 33 bishops main arena. in other arena its 15 bishops 2 rooks  1 nit. Too me its fun to try stop them had 17 kills before they decided to take out fh bhs ord. /sad that 10 guys had to resort to killing fh bh ord against 1 lone defender.



enemy is just 13  that means they can bomber hangers with lancs and ord and its hard to stop bomber s weak fighter while your trying to kill m3s and gvs at town. but that is what they want no defense just milk.

Rod,

I hate the 1pm cap switch. LWs go from 400 cap to 100 cap, and if u have to log out, or booted out, your
stuck for 2 to 3 hours of less then 50 in other LW.  The LW cap change shouldn't happen till evening time.
Just too few on till around 4 or 5 pm eastern. Cap change happens @ 1pm when usually only 150 to 200 on
total in LWs.

The other real problem with what Rod describes, with 1 side having 15 to 20, others less then 5 is that
they will ruin a map before people get to play it.  You log in and the over night/morning milk tards have captured
most the bases where its almost reset, or 1 side is down to a couple 4 bases , not too fun to start in the hole
that bad.

maybe disable base capture when less than 50 or 75 in LW arenas.

Problem is, how are you going to merge the 2 arenas?
