I would really appreciate if the arena cap would not snap in at 19:00 CET / 18:00 GMT.
Thats the time west european workers come online after work - hence this thread.

You look at caps like orange 150/100 and blue 20/150 when i usually would start to play.
That situation stays usually for 30 - 60 minutes. DA mostly populated by 5 - 10 guys.

Not much of a fight...

I rather have a cap snap at 20:00 CET or even 21:00 CET.

Is there any possibility to put the cap one hour or two back? Would be grateful  :)

Hi,

I have seen this topic complained about so much.

I never wait more than 10 minutes to get into an arena of choice unless it is the Scenario arena and it is locked.

Just go to another arena; go in; immediately exit out back to the arena index.  Still cannot get in?  Try another arena; go in; immediately exit out.  Can't get in?  Repeat ad nauseum!  Eventually, much like waiting in line for chow, somebody is going to leave and a space open up.  

That is probably why "host connection lost" is so popular to force guys to leave.  (Just kidding about the host lost thing.)

That's what I do.  I play wee hours NY time midnight to dawn, sometimes.  I just wake-up sometimes, can't sleep.  Either watch a movie or play this game.

Other thing you could do, though a bit expensive, is once in the game, end of the night, go park in a hanger and leave the game on.  Don't turn off you pc or put it in sleep mode.  Just turn monitor off.

I had a friend from Berlin.  He said English was his second language after WWII.  Bet you know English better than most Americans know Spanish.

I have a few free hours after work. From 20:00 to 23:00 CET, but there is a limit of players on the Orange Arena.
 Another arena is about 100 players. Where I have to fly 30 minutes to see any fight... :(

How many Europeans can't get into the full arena when caps start?  Can't be more than one or two.  Otherwise they would all go to the open arena and the numbers would increase quickly.

So, we can infer that less than 10 Europeans attempt to play at 1900 local Euro time.

Starting the Arena cap after midnight CET on weekdays would make sence. Rarely do you see more then 300 players online during "CET Prime". Imho prime CET hours would benefit from having one arena around 250 players instead of the normal 150 with cap and 100.

It be interesting to see if HTC can have a German, French, Japanese and Dutch language commercials in their respective countries to recruit European players.  You almost have a sense the European players stumble onto this game by accident.

I can only talk for Germany, but here it wouldn't work.
