I know this subject has been brought up over and over again..
but honestly why not?
1 LW arena
1 MW arena
1 EW arena
Seems it would make things a hell of a lot better and would populate the MW & EW arena a little more.
This way the big maps could be used in the LW and we could have the big epic air battles that so many still crave for.
For the guys that want to play with smaller numbers they could filter into the EW & MW arena's. This would get more numbers in those two areas instead of it being a place for score potatos. I just can't see a down side in this..
So I have to ask why not?
-
The 1 LW arena would get "sick".
-
I am torn...
I played many years ago when there was only 1 MA and enjoyed the large numbers. (I also enjoyed night time too)
BUT... there is one reason I like having to LW's... MAPS!!!
If I log in and one has a map that I hate, I can go to the other and pray that the map there is more tolerable.
-
because if there was one LW it would have to be capped.... because HTC said so....... so the over flow would HAVE to play in either EW or MW. Those that would HAVE to play in the other arenas would deluge HTC with emails complaining that they can't get into LW, and promising to quit.
HTC is out to make money, so they wouldn't do something like that, so it pretty much boils down to this...........
.......Because HTC says so :D

Yea but with more numbers maps would be reset more often, I don't think you would have the 7 days a week of TT and wait for a Sunday reset as often.
You could always go to the MW or EW to play other maps, as they would likely be more populated. I do think if there were better numbers MW would likely start pulling in more guys.

Not so... anyone ever seen the old pizza map reset? When that one came up on the rotation, you knew you were stuck with it for a week. Now if they stuck with the smaller maps and higher numbers, we would get resets faster.

The maps are not reset often any more due to the capture method HTC has put in. You must own 90% of your country and 40% of EACH of the other two countries. The idea was to stop the "ganging" of one country by the other two. The ganging still occurs, because most people don't think "strategically" so they just keep hammering in the same direction. Using the bigger maps wouldn't change any of that.

I would kinda like it, but im with the minority here for sure.
It's the same thing as with a rolling planeset: The majority of players would get very upset....

Upset because there would be more players? I'm not sure I follow, I thought more people wanted the single arena.

You base that statement on what, exactly?

Why so knights can be tag teamed each and every day?

The fact that countless people complain about not being able to fly with their squad mates. The fact that countless people want bigger maps, and the fact I know for one during off peak times it becomes hard to find good fights with split arenas.

I was not talking about a single arena. You asked for 3 seperate arenas, not a single one.

No the vocal minority does.

My point being that you base that statement solely on your opinion. I do not see countless people, I see the same people complaining. HT at least has hard figures to analyze, where as you or I can only take a guess by reading a comm channel, or looking at the boards. Both of those are small fractions of the community, vocal only when unhappy, and can't be viewed as an accurate representation of the other thousands of player's feelings.

Count up how many are complaining. If you get to 50 I'd be surprised. Out of the over 5000 subscribers that 50 is only 1% hardly a majority.
-
I think that most of the people who complain about the current arena setup and asking for one arena don't mean they want one LW arena, they mean they want just one single arena with no MW & EW arena like there use to be. If HTC did what your suggesting it would be a bigger bone head move then when Coke came out with New Coke. If a player came online and the one LW arena was filled up it would force that player to fly in the MW or EW arena and the majority of players in the game don't like flying in those arena's.

Yes that is exactly why... no other reason at all

Oh Brother cry me a river....I hear that from people of every country. They all think there poor country gets picked on.
-
No, no, no. We all know, only the other 2 countries do that kind of thing. My country, the always fights fairly; it's the other mooks that do all the ganging/hording/vulching/altmunkying.

So your saying as of late knights haven't had the least amount of players in the LW arenas?
You're also saying that you've never seen the side with the least amount of players backed in the corner. With the other sides pretty much ignoring one another.
Hub
Please point out where I said anything about knights not ganging/hording/vulching/altmunkying.
Maybe I should amend my post to say.
"Why so the low numbers side can be tag teamed each and every day?"
Because I do know that each side has it's turn in the barrel.

I did. Even on "Non-FSO Sunday", Rookland would get resets on it. Hell, we were the first to reset Trinity.

There ya go, your last statement said what I am saying to point. Not always the low side though. Most of the time maybe. Alot has to do with what map is up and we all know on certian maps location gets you the most attention from the other two countries.

What I wanna know is why we can't have one arena that offers free ice cream??
-
I thought such a remark was kind of odd out of you, Bronk. Your follow up comment is spot on though.
Max, pour some icecream into your ethernet port, see how well it uploads.
And that is why we don't have a "Free Blue Belle Arena".
