Why if we are all members in good standing, cant we all play in the orange group ??
What really ticks me off is trying to get in and it states arena full pick another and theirs 167 / 100 ???
so how did the 67 extra players get in and why cant anyone else ???
or when we check back it shows 103 / 100 ?? whats up with the lucky 3 ???
then as if magic it opens up to 400 sometimes this takes quite awhile.
cant we just set it at 400 and leave it alone ??? or leave it open as we all paid to be here, the more the merrier right ???
SO WHAT THE F___ OVER ??!!

Counts the seconds 'til the flaming begins.
Seriously though, my understanding is that the way it works is that there is a system that will lower the capacity limit in the Orange Arena when certain population thresholds exist in both Orange and Blue. The cap will be lowered below the current population in some situations. This is how you get an arena with 167/100. Until those 67 folks leave, or until the Blue Arena reaches a certain level, the system will not allow any additional players into the Orange Arena.
Either that or you haven't learned the secret handshake that gets you past the capacity limit. :D

Someone please do an AHWiki (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/wiki/index.php/Main_Page) write-up explaining the dynamic arena cap, so we can just reply to these bi-weekly threads with a link. If you're not familure with wiki mark-up, sent it to me and I'll format and post it :)

They lower the caps to get the other late war arena filled up. So the people that are left over from when the cap was at 200 or whatever are what you're seeing when it's 167/100 or 103/100.
Most of us have ranted about that at one time or the other, but the caps seem to go back up fairly quickly and we just learn to live with it.
What ticks me off is when I'm doing something with squadies and get discoed and can't get back in. :salute

If you had used your Little Orphan Annie Decoder Ring you would have gotten in.

Well actually some of us are in better "standing" then others, it's all in who you know
so how did the 67 extra players get in and why cant anyone else ???
They signed up for the platinum plan
or when we check back it shows 103 / 100 ?? whats up with the lucky 3 ???
Actually those 67 were an alliance mission but 64 of them died, the other 3 are still fluttering down
then as if magic it opens up to 400 sometimes this takes quite awhile.
Thats to fully enable the barbarian horde
cant we just set it at 400 and leave it alone ??? or leave it open as we all paid to be here, the more the merrier right ???
Actually some of us pay extra to keep the riffraff out, think of it as a gated community
SO WHAT THE F___ OVER ??!!And OUT maybe

Cuase we pay an extra $1.00 :aok

There is a bit on the Arenas wiki page (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/wiki/index.php/Arenas) on this...
The Aces High arenas use a dynamic or floating limit for the arenas where there are two, or more, of the same type. For instance, the two Late War arenas will show a limit that changes as the amount of players in these two arenas change.
The arena limits are governed as follows: As an example, if the Orange arena reaches a certain percentage of its maximum capacity, the server will adjust the Blue arena limit to a higher number. When the Blue arena reaches a certain percentage of its limit, then the Orange arena limit is raised. Conversely, the arena limits are also reduced in the same manner.
This gives the possibility of an arena limit being lower than the actual current number of players in that arena.
However, if that's not clear/complete enough, feel free to improve it. If you're not confident with wiki markup, you can contact me, Murdr, or another wiki admin.
There's a link from the wiki Main Page (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/wiki/index.php/Main_Page) to the Arenas page.

I understand the reason for the cap and how it works. I still don't like it though. :furious

not to make the poor bbs pro's mad that they have to read something twice, but I agree with the original poster, why have dynamic balancing at all when there are a total of 200 guys on across the entire game?
IMHO dynamic balancing should be set NOT to kick in until the game numbers reach a large enough number to effect internet lag or whatever the original reason was for the routine.

You have a good point sir!

I got an interesting PM from our intrepid author...
Thanks for takeing the time to respond to my question, none of your responses wer very helpful however i find it interesting that youd waste playing time to just be a wise ass, but again thanks.
Now to clarify things:
1) I wasn't wasting time since I got a chuckle out of it
2) he spells even worse then I do
3) Dumb postings often generate even dumber responses

Maybe you should find out what the "original" reason is ... and then post.

How many zillion times does it have to be repeated that the arena's were split due to gameplay issues as a result of the large population NOT DUE TO A RESOURCE ISSUE?
And they have to draw the line somewhere....

You need to upgrade to gold member. Send HT an email and he will explain the rest.

personally... yes i really do hate arena cap to... but it is it separate the 600+ ppl that can be on at one time..., it is kinda unfair, i hate squad nights were i cant even get into server there in lol

HT needs to change it so instead of numbers it only displays "Arena Full".
Should eliminate most of these questions :rofl
-
i can usually get in to arena within 5 minutes and usually less on most limits. The only problem for me is when it shifts down to 100 when there is 170 in. I think we should make it a minimum of 200 and then we will be fine.

LOL so you find being assigned to an arena with 38 guys in it GOOD for game play???? Sheez give me a break.

Better than the alternative perhaps - the way things work now, I at least know that the arena with 38 players will soon have 48, then 58, then 108, then 258, because everyone new who comes onto the game is going to be routed there too.
And how would you do it that would always work better?

heheh well you have me there, I guess there is NO way to ensure something will ALWAYS work better :aok
