wow really!
« on: February 09, 2011, 06:26:08 PM »
arena caps! oh wait.. no.. thats not it..

Log in to find 2 arenas with ~380peps playing which is great! but, we have 2 large maps and not a single fight w/ more than 5 players to be found.. in BOTH arenas..

Is it too hard for the coad gods to have one large and one small map rotation? Is this beyond the present technology? Too hard to implement? Just don't care?

 :bhead

Oh yea.. keep the arena caps and bring back one Late war arena.. Tuesday nights are great.. yea, thats the answer!! this way we can keep our cap system!  :aok

This has become the norm nowadays.  Arenas packed full, but very few big furballs or fights like you used to see.  It's either fight the horde or join the horde

HTC really can't control how people play the game. People in game choose to do the things that they do. If they decide to horde, they do that. If they choose to get ganged, they do that. It's not HTC's fault, and quite frankly, I really don't see how we can "cure" this problem. It is up to the AH community to make adjustments to their playing habits.

The arenas aren't packed full right now. There were about 160 & 200 players in each LW arena 10 mins ago. That's quite an overall low player density for a large map. As i type, there are neither enemy nor friendly hordes on the rook front in LWB. It's just that the players are spread all over.

Why don't you fellas copy MA arena settings to the AvA.  Any planes you want, no caps!  That'd for sure pump up those AvA numbers!   :D

Of course, I say it's the norm because I only get to fly on the weekends.  So far, it's been either fight the horde or join the horde or spread out like you said.  I wasn't really clear when I made my first comment.

So what are whining about here?

Map rotation is crap or caps suck, maybe both? My sarcasm detector is on the fritz tonight.

Looks like there might be a bish/nit fight in orange, and the numbers are so whacked that I might be able to afford a jet.  If only I had a wingman.... :frown:

well my employers figured how to take water from the river and make 3300MW of power... (thats a lot btw <G>)

there is a lot of knowledge around this place.. Im sure someone can figure how to keep a small map/ large map rotation.. Do we need to outsource such ideas to china?
