Is any other squad going to have to drop numbers this month because of the new update?

Probably same.

I am more concerned with how the SE Arena itself copes with the crowd, as well as the players.  Discos, frame rates, warping, etc...

Maybe the CM's can see how the numbers work out in the first frame and let us adjust for the second and third frame. :aok

I know we have two in my squad that are in trouble already.  :frown:

If need be we can adjust as you suggested for Frames 2 and 3. We will play Frame 1 by ear. I will send out warnings as usual for those that are low in numbers, (beyond the +-2) but if they simply reply back explaining why and their efforts to correct it will be good.

Fingers crossed and I know people are working on updating the Luzon terrain for the FSO. That should all be in place by the time of the event. Oh, and I have relayed your concerns to Daddog / Stoney.

I will not be able to play the FSO until I get some innards for my computer that can play this new update. I will let my squad know this.

Here's another bright idea.
Why don't the brilliant minds at hitechcreations roll back the last update and give a new date for the change?
There was absolutely no warning at all.  Most that are affected have lower rated machines but were doing fine and having fun.  At a minimum AH could have introduced the patch with a couple of arena's for a couple of months and gradually converted all areana's.
Everyone understands that change is inevetible but this one isn't that significant.  It simply adds greater ground effects which the average player doesn't even notice after the first half hour!!!!  We have a couple of long time pilots affected by this who are now forced out and if they are I'd have to consider following them.  Please consider rolling it back until a better plan is found.  :pray.

If things go really... I mean really Bad... I've no doubt that the LCA, would gladly, at least, consider.... consider mind you.. an invite to FSO... Only to help fill the void of course :D

We'd be willing to make the sacrifice... In this time of hardship... Sooo... Should the CM's need to fill the worst rides in the game... I think the LCA would consider filling the role...


Just a thought.....   :o

Sorry but that is an ignorant comment. The open beta had been there for quite a while. I rarely play except for FSO and I managed to check it out.
