Herding Arenas !!!

[Ack-Ack]

Please for the love of god do something about this.  I have no understanding why this is the way it is.  For my monthly subscription I EXPECT to have a choice where I can fly.  With the amount of time available to me to actually get on-line and enjoy some air time, I find it extremely frustrating to see this.  180/100 Orange 46/250 Blue.  If something does not get done about this I am canceling my subscription and wont bother your forums with my whining again.  At the very least some kind of explanation for why this is, cant we just have a cap of 500 per arena and allow those to choose where they fly?  Done!  Guess I'll go wash the car instead of getting some of my monies worth on-line!

Some people just can't be satisfied and get all melodramatic like an angst ridden school girl.  If you would learn how the arena caps work, you'd know that your choice is not being limited or restricted in any way.

When you quit, can I have your stuff?

Well, one thing that I don't get about the arena caps is that I'll see for example 111/100 in the orange, exit and come back onto the online arenas board, then I'll see it says 113/100. I don't get when the arena is locked and you can't get in, people for some reason are still getting in?!

People aren't still getting in.  The arena cap limit changed to a lower number than the population in the arena.  Read about the arena caps and how they work and you won't be confused.  Sheesh...

I hope I can remember all the comments I wanted to respond to.

First of all, were'nt the AWI arenas limited to only 50 people?  

IIRC, 100 then 150 and then finally 200.

If you would learn how the arena caps work,

I'm perfectly aware of both the HOW and the WHY for the caps.....

you'd know that your choice is not being limited or restricted in any way.

So tell me this: When I try to log in during the middle of any given day, and all of my other squaddies that are currently on are in LWO, but I'm locked out because the numbers are something stupid like 145/100, and LWB is 18/250, EW and MW are ghost maps, and the DA is... well, the DA....

Then tell me how my choices are not limited or restricted in any way?

If you try and tell me to "go make a fight in LWB" (with the 5 or 6 cons on either side in that arena, or with the auto-ack at an undefended field) and that to do so is or should be an equal choice to flying with my squaddies in LWO where there actually is a fight, you're crazy.

12:01 PM Central Time I bet.   

Caps just put into effect.  If caps were up 24 hours a day you would never see this.

I think that is the best solution..

OR, as I've suggested in the past, lower the cap to 50, so you end up with 50 and 50 instead of 100 and 0..


some ppl think 50 is not enough though.. i cant argue against that really... However I have found good fights with less than 50 in an arena.. at least with the new radar you can find out where they would be

What's with the anger? Good job disrespecting a vet   Nowhere in his post did he spew any hatred, he just voiced his opinion.

I don't like the caps either, but until there is a better solution good luck getting ridd of them. And by the way, there are more than just a few people (as some indicate here) that hate this system. So what is the fix? Find a better solution, then offer it in lieu of the current system. Of course I am an active duty Major, and by voicing my opinion I guess my IQ isn't high enough for your standards either....

  Well Said Major!! Thank you for you current Service Sir..

As an Army veteran, I sir would like to thank you for your service Sweet16. Please disregard Gyrene81 insult. Clearly he cannot comment on another persons post without trying to insult them..

Here's an insult for you...no persons voluntary service in the military is an automatic entitlement to anything that the government doesn't give them; nor is their age; any individual insinuating that their 15 dollars a month should hold so much value to HTC as to force them to change a business decision based on whether or not the individual in question likes it, shows a lack of good judgement and questionable intellect.

You Gyrene81 said :" Obviously you didn't achieve your rank due to your IQ, and it hasn't improved with age."

He made a comment about something in the game that he would like changed. Your response was to say that he had a low IQ. I think that a person with a normal or higher  IQ would not have responded the way that you did to his comment.

I think the reason people dont join the game is the attitude of some the old timers who think they are helping HT.  somebody will ask a question and right away they are either idiots or noobs.  If they would only keep their mouth shut instead of insulting everybody that doesnt agree there would be more of us.  Arena caps is the reason I quit several times, and if there was another game almost as good as this one I would be gone in a second.  So lots of us put up with not the game but you people that have been around only because we really have no choice.

These reminds me some much of the AA old timers who would tell new comers to sit in the back and keep their mouth shut till they learned something, when It shouldda been the other way around.

I think 400/400 and 20/400 would be just fine.

  Makes no sense, what about the 401st guy that wants to fly in with the 400/400 crowd? Now he is going to be in the same boat as all the rest of the cap whiners
because he can't get in to that arena to fly with his buds.

Been an AH subscriber for just about 3 years or $540.00 worth. This makes me a paying customer. I am a 56 year old retired MSgt. which means I pay my own bills. I do not like the caps and I believe they should be done away with.

  Caps don't bother me but I do     you for you service, and all other military men and women that might be reading this BB. and especially on this day that those of us that live in the US
            celebrate our Independence day.

I think you give the old timers waaaay to much credit.  In effect feeding their own self-importance.

As for asking questions, personally I did research when I had a question.  I use the search function.  I read alot.  If I can't find an answer, I'll ask a stupid question.

The problem is A. Cap "questions" are rarely questions but, in reality, a whine for pity, which few, if any, are going to give here.  And, B.  The "question" has been answered repeatedly by the good folks at HTC.  (Yes, I'm a fanboi )

Arena caps is the reason I quit several times

Doesn't seem to be working.

Do you think that if enough people complain about a problem with the game that Aces High will take notice of all of the complaints showing up in the forums and at least look into the problem? I'm just curious.. Where would a player voice his complaint if not on Aces High forums? CAPS can be a pain at times when your trying to join your squad and cannot get in to the arena but it not usually a major problem. After a few tries, I manage to get in.
