Because off YOU maybe? Because a squad should be about camaraderie? Not expecting them to drop everything instantly... but how about "let's meet all in 15 minutes in LWB to have some fun together"?

Actually, that's probably why they're in the full arena.

They planned it that way....   :noid

 :rofl


The secret to a short wait is to go to the other LW arena.  You need to get those numbers up to increase the caps in the full arena.  Trying to get into the full arena and going back to the select screen does you no good.

And, who knows, if enough people go to the other, not fun because you're in it arena, it may become the fun arena.

As a euro, cap kicks in just before I get home from work in the evening. Numbers seem down atm (to me early euro evening), pushing cap back a few hours in the summer would be nice :)

Or, starting them earlier.

You need to recruit more "locals" to play.  Get the numbers up and more even faster.

It's all Yurps failt.

So you enjoy the massive b.s. noob session that is Titanic Tuesday...have you looked at the actual numbers at peak times on Tuesdays versus the rest of the week?

Actually Tuesday was made the Titanic day because the numbers had always been quite low that day - before TT was installed.

Another individual suffering from self induced grief.

Get the squad to meet up in another arena.

Wow, easy guy, I didn’t create Titanic Tuesday, Hitech Creations did.   If you have a problem with it, take it up with Hi Tech.   I was just pointing out to the frustrated player that caps are not an issue on Tuesday evening.  Just as HiTech intended.   Squads flying on Tuesday evening are not faced with the cap issue. And that’s fact.

So you enjoy the massive b.s. noob session that is Titanic Tuesday...have you looked at the actual numbers at peak times on Tuesdays versus the rest of the week?
No I haven’t looked at the actual numbers at peak times on Tuesday.  I’m to busy flying with my squad and I don’t think I would know or care to know how to look at the numbers.  I have no idea what the peak times are .  again, nor do I care.

Arena caps server a purpose, if you can give a valid argument for changing them, HiTech may consider it.
I don’t have to give a valid argument, HiTech already did.  They created Titanic Tuesday, No caps, no problems with squads flying together.   If you get booted you can rejoin right where you were without taking 10 or 15 attempts jumping from arena to arena .  If the caps are a problem just fly on Tuesday the NO CAP NIGHT.

Lushe...sorry to tick ya off. Was not ment to do it. But your respnse was not needed in that manner. In 15 min or so I would finally get in the arena so why have whole squad change to a different one. We have swapped arenas b4 for other reasons but we like to fly against and with those we usually do. Well...this is going no where and I should have deleted this post but have already put the time of typing it...lol..I am done...Thanks to all for the usefull info.

I can do that every day of the week. I play in the lower populated arena.
