yesterday's TT, with tagma, highlighted exactly why off hours needs a small map.

there were 150 people online and not one decent fight or dar bar across the ENTIRE map.   It wasn't just a quiet point either.  It was stagnant for hours the only time anything happened is when we pretended to take a Bish field.  Even then I had to dangle the carrot right infront of them.   

You can say what you want about the arena boot or the caps but for the love of god never make us play on a large map with less than 200 people in it.

 :aok :aok I couldn't agree more, I've seen it too and the small maps when there are less people makes the game playable.

I am an Aussie, and I always used to complain that an enormous map and not many players meant I could not get a decent fight.

Now, in prime time for me and other Asian and European players. There is a TT map with 20 people duking it out, then when it hits "US Prime Time" its a huge map with 400 people playing, standing for TOTAL chaos.

I love it.

It really shouldn't matter what map is up, people should naturally gravitate towards a couple of hotspots for combat. It's too bad when 100 people are given so much map to play in that they take the opportunity to spread out to avoid fights.  Why log into a combat game with other humans just to avoid combat with other humans...I could never understand this.

Maybe HT can coad something to change human nature.

I think it is fine the way HTC currently has it setup.  I fly mostly during the day, so on the Off Hours maps.  In my opinion, things are better then they used to be with two maps all the time (except for TT).

the maps are all the same, they rotate in a sequence...the single arena seems to be working for everyone who understands how things work...the rest are  :headscratch:
