As soon as you guys took that order capture crap down from MA orange, the MW arena is leading in population.;)

Title: hard to fly with squadies
Post by: PatnmeriL on December 12, 2006, 05:29:31 PM

Ordinarily I am all for changes/improvements to the game.
I always hear people complaining and saying that AH should be left alone.
If HT followed that advice, we'd all still be playing A10 Tank Destroyer on our Tandy 286s <386 was too much PC and made plane unflyable>.
My problem with the recent changes is that it makes it difficult to fly with your squad intact. To me one of the things I enjoy most about this game is flying with my squadies.
Today was a perfect example It is Tuesday afternoon, me and 1 other squadie are flying in MW and a 3rd squadie enters and cannot fly with us.
I am not sure if all of this new arena limiting is being implemented for "server health" or what but all in all I feel that it is making the game less enjoyable.
If the server is not able to handle 500 player arenas, then maybe seperating the arenas by time of year, or geographic location would make more sense than by plane set.
As far as balancing goes, even when the sides are "even" there always seems to be areas where 1 team or the other is getting "ganged".
I would really like to see HT and crew come up with a solution that doesn't affect our ability to keep the squads together.

Your quote is paraphrased to the item I would like to address.

I think the 32 man squad limit was set to keep from having some of the dificulties we are seeing today. I may be wrong, but if I remember correctly it was a rule that no squad exceed 32 players. If someone is listing numerous "wings" (individual squads) as part of a single squad that would seem to me to be a circumventing of the "rules". Like another poster in another thread said: If you put one of these large squads in it could conceivably mean 192 players. That is the size and, sometimes more, of the current caps on the different servers.

No wonder we have a side balancing problem...
