Open the valve
« on: April 21, 2011, 06:05:32 PM »
I haven't been able to play for some time due to my health which is improving. I have been keeping tabs of the game's progress and have seen a decline of sorts. I believe that if some of the arenas are dissolved and cap numbers are increased  one will see more players on-line at peak times. I mean really to have early and middle arena slots when the late arena slots have the same models to choose from is a waste when those early and middle arenas only have a few players in them. Granted one can fly only those planes without fear of better planes besting them but I have seen those same planes in late war arenas rule. In these times of hard economy when one pays 14.99 a month and can't get in the arena his squad is in or his friends one might get so discusted he may just cancel his account and never return. This is just my opinion but it could happen.

Well I wish you the best with your health but, I've got a question.  How have you noticed a "decline of sorts" when you haven't been playing?

This is the fourth thread I've seen about declining numbers recently. Do we have enough now?

I believe it's a product of spring.  As the weather warms and people go outside, the end draws near!!!

Oh lawd, I just stuck my head out the window... there's freshly cut grass, birds in the trees, children riding their bicycles, and neighbors grilling burgers while sipping ice tea's...

I must join them!  :bolt:

If I'm reading the original post correctly, EW and MW population and maximum capacity have zero effect on arena caps in the LW arenas.

Even if they closed all other arenas except the LW arenas it wouldn't change how any of it is set-up. It's setup the way it is for many reasons, none of which have anything to do with the other arenas

That is because the forums have said so.

Relax, play the game and let Hitech worry about subscribers. If you like the game, tell your friends about it as posting in here doesn't do anything.

I don't know about you, but if I was paying for a game so that I could play with my friends and the game had mechanics implemented that disallowed this, I'd either vocalize my distaste or stop giving the company money.

Claiming that the above is adolescent behavior is asinine.

No, no and no!

 :lol

Early arenas are with few players in because it's very borrowing  to get v-field for just one pilot with no
no good fighters as p51-d or f4u-d avaiables.

We need new targets smaller then v-field.
