Title: Ridiculous
Post by: EN4CER on September 15, 2006, 08:06:47 AM
I like the idea of period themed arenas but when I can't log into the arena I want to (My squad plays in the early war arena, I want to play with my squad, not some other arena waiting to get into the one where my squad is) because its filled or when I am able to log in and can't fly a single fighter plane because the ENY is at 34 and the highest ENY vauled plane is a Hurricane I with an ENY of 30 is just ridiculous. Time to walk away until this mess is sorted out. If it continues on the current path then it's time to retire.

Whats wrong with the Hurri MKI? it is a very good fighter plane.

sounds like some people can't fly a aircraft without cannons.

I love seeing these whines though keep it up.:aok

No, you're missing his point. The ENY was higher than any fighter plane in the set, so he had nothing to fly at all.

Give it some time, it'll work out.

Yep was in the same situation, ENY was so high the ONLY available plane was the B5N2 !!! Also couldn't up a panzer because of ENY had to up a stinking T34, well fine except the fact that the town I needed to protect was on top of a steep hill and we all know the T34 WILL NOT climb a steep hill  !!!   :furious :furious :furious

I've heard several people run into this problem. Clearly, the ENY limiter needs some tweeking. It's a major disappointment to struggle to get into an arena, only to find that almost everything is unavailable. They had the same issue in the MWA last evening.

The alternative is to switch sides. Unfortunately, you can still only switch once every 24 hours. Thus if the numbers shift to the other side, you are faced with the same problem, but are out of options, beyond going to another arena.

I'm confident that this will be addessed quickly.

My regards,

Widewing

Did they change it? Until the new setup, it was 6h.
(I used to switch quite a lot)

The last time I switched, I had to wait until the next day... But that was about 6 months ago. Nonetheless, 6 hours is still too long if the ENY isn't penalty isn't adjusted.

aww come on..  you get jump in the arena and not fly anything thanks to ENY limiter or you can try to get into another full arena but you had better time your click right or it will CTD you right out.  Whats wrong with that?  Not feeling like playing whack a mole just to play a game?

Just now in EWA the Rooks ENY is 41, so you cannot up anything -anything.

Really nice. If that does not equalize the game then what does...
:rolleyes:

It's 6 hours of time in-game, IIRC.

WOW.......Im having flashbacks !!  Sounds like when AOL went off the hourly rate. I use to fly in RR1 Europe. Then one day I had to spend 1/2 hour clicking on the RR1 hoping someone got dumped or logged off. The Sky is falling.......... The Sky is falling.
