i know arena caps are needed but i have a better idea
« on: March 27, 2011, 08:54:03 PM »
this has been happening all day, you think perhaps you can losen the caps a little more than this?  will allowing a couple more players in blue really turn it into a cesspool?  its been frustratring getting discoed and having to come back to this all day.

Give a guy an inch and he'll want a mile.

However I do think that if a disco happens or something, the server could somehow reserve your spot or remember your IP address for say 5 minutes to allow you to log back in? This could also help for Special events.

what the problem there?    seems to me that Hitech has done something, for every time I log in the numbers seem to be very evenly spaced between the two arenas :headscratch:

well when did it happened?  little warning would've been nice.  most likely sombody fell asleep this is 10 min later.  this will be the end of the squads since they wont be able to switch to play with their squadies.

Once what.... 31 more people enter Orange it will open more room in Blue. Help out the "cause" and go fly in Orange for a bit until room opens up in Blue.

I did been doing it all day.  but what's the point of having a squad if i cant play with them and if they switch then we are royally screwed (excuse me ht) since we wont be able to play together in either arena.

What makes you think you'd be one of the 'couple more' players?

you mean to tell me that 111 players logged in 10 minutes while i was posting the pictures here?

my point is something was really wrong today and I wish ah will really look into it.  too many times we will try to get into an arena and it will be locked then 5 or 10 minutes later there will be 100 more.

btw the pictures were using my phone. if your only complain is the quality sorry my phone will load to photobucket in about 2 seconds.

That usually happens if you wait a few min. The caps never stopped me from entering an arena.

Looks to be plenty of room for you and your squadmates in green, purple, orange, WWI, AvA, TA, and DA.

The arena doesn't show the number over the cap any more. Now it just shows the cap number when it's full.

Why can't we just have a que?

so instead of it saying 'arena is full etc' you get put into a que

so for example it would say 'Arena Full, qued xx/xx'

it will make getting into a full arena easy mode
