What's up with the Orange arena and the arena's in general

[Flench]

Has 195 player's in a 100 cap arena ? Can some one feel me in on how this work's ?
When Green has 25/350 max
and
Purple has 5/ 350 max
Should the Orange be 350 too ? Seems like to me HT is trying to make me fly were I don't want too .

Loooooooooooooooooooooooooooo onnngg story there bud. in a short words it goes like this "sucks to be you" or "deal w it"

When I turned off Titanic Tuesday, the caps had already kicked in and that is how there is more than the cap in Orange.  Happens everyday at around noon CST, as well.

We have toyed with the idea of kicking everyone out of the arena at noon, everyday, but I am sure that would start up a whole new mess of complaints.

[Flench]

Can't you just add to Orange the 350 cap like the others when this change is made ?
It's 2:25 central here now and
Green has 0/350
Purple has 6/350
Orange has 104/100
Blue has 67/150
 Now this don't make a bit of since to me ..so here I set for 2 hour's waiting to get in Orange .

I have no control over the cap numbers.  I just checked and both (orange and blue) arenas have over 90 players in them and Blue is open.

Where have you been Flench? This is how the cap system has been for years. It is a dynamic cap system used to bring the population in BOTH LW arenas up to a "playable" number quicker. If they had Orange set at 350 it would soon fill and it would take a lot longer for the numbers in Blue to build to a playable number.

Of course it worked much better when the over all population was higher. With the down turn in the economy I think the over all population has dropped quite a bit. Only HTC would know for sure. I wish they would look at the numbers and compare them to 18-24 months ago to see if that is true. If it is, it might be time to go back to a single LW arena, or the pair with out caps.

Either way, I'd like HTC to give an "official" statement as to the situation. I know things have changed, but is it enough to warrant changing the cap situation? I think this is one of those "areas" that when they crop up HTC might want to post an "official" version to help calm down the over reacting paranoid masses generate.

Let's have a vote and see what the over reacting paranoid masses say , lol .

We don't complain....we strongly suggest!!!!

It's 11.27 PM  central here now and
Green has 0/350
Purple has 12/350
Orange has 147/100
Blue has 100/150

You sure this dynamic cap system is working ? Guess I can just forget about flying in the Orange arena ..

[Wobbly]

Orange wont kick up to 200 unless blue is over 105 for the MAs, early and middle have no bearing on the MAs

In the numbers you quote, blue must have dropped below 105 so orange's cap dropped from 200 > 100

It is not our sandbox, we don't get to make the rules. If we play nice we do however get to play in it.

[Flench]

Well , I was not able to get in Orange all day yesterday and really thinking about quitting this game just because of this .When I do get time to fly I CAN"T get in where my Squad is . So , I will take my 14.99 and play in some one Else's sand box . Another point to make is your trying to take a base and get booted and can not get back in to where I was at , BS ! and for you guy's that feel the same you need to speak up now .

I believe there are quite a few threads, recently, indicating similar frustration with the caps.  I am also frustrated that the caps continually put me in a barely populated arena.

[Flench]

Thank you DaddieDrax for standing up on this . Some of the guy's that's been around for ever act like there scared to speak up and say any thing . How many people here keep logging on and off over and over and over trying to get in Orange when it's 101/100 or find them self waiting and waiting and waiting for the cap to be raised  ?
