Change coming soon to arena capping methology.

[jimson]

I'm guessing that the majority of US players log on after work, and dinner at say 6:00 to 7:00pm in their respective time zones.

I think the 2 arena transition time needs to be 5pm cst and the single arena kick in at say 1:00a.m.

This will allow Primetime euro to be in a single arena till 11:00pm GMT and primetime USA to be in two arenas until midnite cst. 11pm over on the west coast.

Great idea Lusche, this will create a much better enviroment for the European members.

Question: When will this be implimented?

[dedalos]

woot woot!! no more noobs whining about Caps anymore ohh wait nvm i am sure some bad apples are lurking 

Why?  He did not say they are going away.  Still the same if you are in the US.  Hope it helps Euro-players though.

HiTech, have you considered the size of the maps in play at different times?  Just a suggestion, but it may be wise to have the two in play maps during peak hours be small maps and the one off peak map be a large map.

Thanks Hitech

Don't you have that backwards?

no hes right. it would help stabilize the amount of players in the two peak hour arenas. two small maps makes for good fights and if both are used evenly both will run well and the large off peak would be for euro primetime etc where they need alot of space for players. if im incorrect in my statement feel free to correct me

[Shuffler]

This should help the European folks. I know the have been getting the short end of the stick. <S>

[SPKmes]

Does this mean the snail will be coming out of his shell to play again?

No I believe I have it exactly correct.

321bar pointed out the basic reasons why, but there are a few more subtle, yet very important reasons why this would be good for the game.

The two peak arenas will be up for 9 hours, as opposed to the offpeak arena which will be up for 15 hours.  Creating a goal oriented game environment is critically important for the survival of this game!  Players must believe they can accomplish what they wish to do.  If that is win the war, then they must have the chance to do it.  The only way they can do that is on a smaller map right now.  Basically each country has one week to win the war before the titanic tuesday reset.  On peak hours, each arena will have 9*7=63 hours of battle to win the war.  Off peak arena will have 15*7=105 hours of battle to win the war.  Just going off this math, the off peak arena should be more difficult to reset.

Do not take this point lightly.  Win the war players are extremely important to the health of this game, and if they feel they can win, the game will be much better for everybody.
