Title: Arena Closed
Post by: Ductape on March 23, 2007, 08:46:00 PM

Can someone tell me why, when I can not get into any particular arena because there are "too many" people there, when I come back, there are MORE people than where there to begin with when I tried getting in?
What I mean is....say arena cap is 320 and there are 320 peeps in. I try to get in and get message "too many people in arena, select another arena". So I go to different arena for short time, come back and there are NOW 325 people in arena that was too full at 320?
This makes NO SENSE to me.....especially when I have squadies in that arena which is ONLY reason I am trying to get into THAT PARTICULLAR ARENA in the first place.

Dynamic arena caps. While you were in one arena, the max cap on the other increased in size so more people could get in. Then the max cap was decreased for whatever reason while those extra people were in there. The game doesn't (or rather, isn't SUPPOSED to) boot them in that case.

Happens all the time with the two Late War arenas when there's a reset in one of the two.

What Sax said. 90% of the time when I can't get in one arena, I log in to another, log back out, and can get in the previously full arena immediately.

Funny.....Not really, but I try to post again about this, and only SOME of it posts. I feel I am being censored.....not told about it, as neither are anyone viewing this forum, and I STILL do not understand why.
All I want to do is get into an arena my squadies are in, but since it is full I am not allowed to, but yet, a few are allowed to get in. ....Thus the 320/320 arena is full message. YET.......15 seconds later there are 322/320 and the arena is STILL full.
Whats up with THAT....>AND< my posts about this "phenomenon" DON'T Exist after I see that they are posted........but come back later and they "dont"???

If you enter in "pre-log screen" and see say 319/320 you can log in arena, no matter how many ppl actually there. I mean, numbers dont refreash until you leave screen in one way or another. If 10 ppl see 319/320 numbers all of them can log in, and numbers will 329/320.
