.p Yo boss. I just got kicked and can't get back in. When the mission is complete have the squad switch arenas. I'll do what I can to keep up my awesome K/D ratio until you guys can get here. RGR . OUT.

Seems simple enough.

Can't say that i agree with switching to an unpopulated arena... i would not do it, nor expect 2 dozen squaddies to do so.

For the Original poster:

1. Lose the caps lock, we can hear you just fine.
2. You may want to take an English course, The spelling is horrible.
3. Switch to Decaf.

Of course you wouldn't switch.

That's why you'd end up playing by yourself or logging off because instead of belonging to a squadron of two dozen what you really have is 24 individuals that only care about themselves.

What a great squad to belong to.

no, because low population arenas are boring.  The more people, the better.

Hmmm, isn't that like you and your whole squad accomadating the game, instead of the game accomadating you? Who's paying who to play?

It's the squad accomodating one of their own. When you leave a capped arena then can't get back in you have a couple choices. One choice is that the squadron you are a member of acts as a TEAM and switches to the other arena so the whole TEAM can play.

Other than that your so called TEAM MATE goes and does something else either in the other arenas or logs off.

BTW..when you switch arenas you can also switch countries to the one that is low in population.

There's nothing taboo about it. It's really pretty simple and I think it's the way HTC invisioned how the arena setup should work...but...you have to make it work.

Forget changing the school systems- it's time to start reintroducing large predators into the urban and suburban habitats.

hub, are you sure?  I'm pretty sure that I had a problem where I'd changed to the low side in one arena, and then couldn't change again even though I moved to a different arena to fly with someone else.  

I'll check again, but I think the side lock is per server, and not per arena.

I'm thinking you meant Blooz, but I'll chime in with what I (think I)know regardless. The timers for sideswitching are separate for the EW and MW arenas, but the 2 late war arenas share the same timer, so that if you change sides and then change arenas, you're still stuck on that same side, in a different arena. I personally think this is pointless, and have requested that it be changed. HT, IIRC, commented that he'd consider it, and that was the last I ever heard on the matter.

I suppose it's not a high priority, since there's no impetus for the average player to seek balanced numbers or even change sides at all, but it would be nice if those of us who move around often didn't get the short end here.

Ref...changing sides...I have noticed the score ho's "say" they change to the lowest number side. In fact, they appear to change to the side where perked planes are the cheapest. They then use those cheap rides to rack up thier kills. Interesting, twist to the "we're here to help" statments.

All of those who say the squad thing is something that might be going away from this game. Perhaps it is not conducive to have squads up in the CT when what's really may be wanted is an even sided arena so the bombers can bomb, the escorts can escort and the defenders can defend. In that scenario it matters little whether or not you are on a squad but if you are progressing along in rank within your chosen Country.

Or did I misunderstand just how the new game is going to work???

CT will still have squadrons, from what I gather, just not player created squadrons, ie, you complete training and are assigned to squadron X, while your fellow trainees might wind up in Y or Z. Something like that. I quit paying attention to CT development when they stopped talking about it, so something may have changed since then.

I really don't see why HT would nerf something in the MAs, or even consider doing so, simply because the sister game isn't setup the same way. I really don't think he's anti-squadron, but rather that people are paranoid, and always looking for some ulterior motive on the part of HTC for any change which they think affects them negatively.
 AH2 releases "HTC trying to get rid of the poor people."
 AH2 arena setup "HTC trying to get rid of squads"
 AH2 war reset parameters changed "HTC trying to get rid of everyone but the furballers"
 And so on, and so forth.

Agree HTC is not trying to get rid of squads. It is just something that appears will not be required in the new game so why not get folks used to the idea now?

Things change and progress. I think the Co is merely trying to keep up with progress. If you look at the numbers in all of those FPS games there is alot to be said for it. It is a business so moving forward to take on 3x or maybe 4x as many players while losing a few makes good sense.

Maybe if they set up one arena as squad only,and only alowed regestered squads in, squad must have a valid history say 60 days and a minimum number of squadies, maybe make the arena two sided like AvA. and revise scoring so as to minimize porking, let special events staff run things.

just a thought.
