Mmmm sorry but have to agree, played this game going on 8 years and LOVED one arena vs the split arenas with the cap.  Ruins squad nights cause half the squad cant get in.  As well as less fights. Still love the game but thats just my opinion.

I don't think I've ever heard one person say they're in favor of the arena caps. Well except for HiTech that is.

 :aok  Truthfully Titanic Tues is almost the only time I enjoy going into MA, otherwise been spending more time in DA because more action.  When got 100 ppl in one arena doesn't help much.

Last night my kid wanted to fly with me, logged in, 253/200 orange.  37/200 other arena. 

We decided to watch tv and didn't even log on. Tried again while later.  231/200.

Choices were play with almost no one, on a huge map or don't play at all.  Obviously we didn't play at all.

Same here.

I can not fly on TT, I try every now and them, but the over population just increases the stupidity and I have to log off. The same stupidity is there on a regular day, but being split between 2 arenas is not as heavy. I can move around to avoid most of it, but on TT it's every where and is almost impossible to avoid.

As much as the CAP is upsetting, I cannot for the life of my argue Fugitive's point.  Besides, HTC has said in the past the caps are here to stay.... SO instead of all this whine, with no cheese, how about we figure out how it may better serve us!!!!

Caps wouldnt be so bad if
A) They can somehow fix it to where if you are playing in an arena and disco, you are allowed back in
B) Somehow made it that squads can group together. ( I am trying to be realistic here. Telling 3-4 guys in the capped arena to come and play because I cant get in is a bit of an unfair request)
C) Somehow made it a mass dump or reset in both LW arenas once caps do take place so that you are not stuck in an arena with a large map and only 15 players

Yes I get why caps are in place. We can agree that this is the best system as of yet with the goal focused on creating a better gaming enviroment. ALthough far from perfect, noone has come up with any other solution for it. We have seen in the past some great ideas, but most of those had far worse consequences if we were to put them into play than the system that is put into place now.

Until then, the players have to deal with it and try to use all other choices that are provided to us to make things fun.

snailman came up with quite a good system, and it looked like hitech was considering it..

What's the difference about flying with 110 people versus 104 people?
6 people.

The question is more like: What's the difference about flying with 104 vs 214 people? ;)
110 people.

How about this, if a train leaves Chicago going 60 mph and another train leaves New York at 50 mph, how will that affect arena caps?

The differences is six people that he can not kill.

the difference to me would be six people that i could chase around all night, not managing to hit.  :D

logged in after work yesterday at 17:05GMT to see:

LWO 160/100
LWB 22/150

so went into LWB, where there were (in flight) 4 Bish, 5 Knits and 8 Rooks. I say in flight, on the Knit front there was 1 set of bish buffs and one set of Rook buffs and a pony suicide porking. all the knits but one were in SBs or GVs. great.

soo I went on a 45min Lanc milkrun. had a great fight against 25k worth of sheds ...

by the time I landed there was a full 31 players in LWB! woot!

the arenas finally balanced (this is a good thing apparently) at 18:55GMT, a mere 1h55m after the 100 cap went into effect. :rolleyes:

My point is that I wanted to fly with other Finnish flyers (there is not lot of Finnish flyers), but I didn't manage to go with them because this limit thing...but if somebody think that my point of view is wrong..then perhaps you better look at mirror and ask again from there..;). Okey..after writing this mail (the first one) I manage to go same arena where ither Finnish flyers were but I've been pissed of with this thing earlier soooo many times that I finally thinked to get it out loud.. :furious.

I know this is just "drop in the water", "fart in the desert" etc...but was my outburst of my anger...and I think that I own this right to say this.."arena limit S***KS!".

Best regards and no hard feelings.
