Is the difficulty logging in tonight and indication of the service we can expect over the holidays?
I tried for 20 minutes to log into the Orange arena. During that time, I watched all the resources open in other arenas going to waste.
When I started to log in...
EW 12/350
MW 63/350
Orange 305/200
Blue 147/250
AvA 0/200
SE1 33/650
SE2 0/650
SE3 0/650
Twenty minutes later...
EW 11/350
MW 64/350
Orange 288/300
Blue 152/250
AvA 0/200

Pathetic customer service. Prime time and people are dropping off because it is a pain in the (_*_) to log in. I realize we only pay a few bucks a month, but for Christ's sake, you guys have been running this thing for years and still can't do anything on your end to make this easier on players. everything requires the player to adjust to lazy fat business practices.
Your arena is to full? "Pick a different arena" fly with people you don't know or on a terrain you don't like.
Sides are unbalanced? "Switch to another side"
Want to fly your favorite plane? "Sorry, env says ewe can't at the moment", "Read other options above"
Being the only decent WWII era Flight Comabt sim for the past years is the only thing that keeps this thing afloat. It could last longer and have larger participation if people didn't have to contend with a company resting on their laurels. I'm not asking for a new grphics engine, different planes, new content, etc.. I just want to be able to get to the existing content quickly, have fun, and log out!
Ewe can take that to the bank!

This has been discussed many many times, and this is no way to approach this problem. It is best not to bring this to the Bulletin Boards.
If you have a problem or troubles it is best to contact Skuzzy by email at 'support@hitechcreations.com' (I think that is the one, am I right?).
Skuzzy I am most likely breaking the 'Do no act as a back seat moderator' here; simply trying to help, sorry if I stepped over that line, won't happen again hopefully. :)

Here's a clue for yah, cupcake.....go to the Blue arena.
See..that wasn't hard. :D

this is a little out of charter for me but if my squad is in the org and I can't get in I don't want to go to the blue arena. That being said I have a suggestion as to where to place your cupcake.

All of those things are there intentionally for good costumer service. And they work pretty well.

:rofl back to OP. i agree to some degree that soemthing has to be done; but as 1701E said, there is no simple fix to this. sure, we could rattle off many many fixes, but its simple enough to let HTC do what they can fit into their schedule. Sometimes people just have to make unexpected changes, no?
-
Wow, see the "easy button" reply works.......

Actually, it is, because that's exactly what the floating arena caps are there to get you to do; go to the other arena. It's so one LWA doesn't become crowded while the other is empty, which would inevitably happen and be 10x worse than the situation you have now.
Same thing with ENY; it's to get you to switch, or fly a 'worse' aircraft. Like it or not, it's a game, so there has to be some balancing mechanisms.
-
I know this is aggrevating, but as others have posted already it is in place to keep the majority of players happy.
It would be less responsible if they made the arena caps wide open and allowed one arena to get overcrowded thus making a titanic tuesday everyday and the other arena to allow you to here the crickets chirping. Same for the eny, how great would the fights be if every sortie you got ganged by 10 spixteens or typhies because there was nothing in place to urge you to switch sides or fly harder aircraft.
My suggestion is for you to ask why these are in place rather than accusing HT of laziness. My understanding is that these systems were created over a period of time through trial and error and that indicates anything but laziness and poor business practices.
-
I usually log in around what may or may not be prime time (~6:00 PM Eastern) and have never had to wait more than a minute or 2. It will be interesting to see how this thread turns out..... :rolleyes:

This isn't my first rodeo here on these subjects, but since you brought it up, what is the problem with Titanic Tuesdays? Appears to me there is always a fight to be found and side balance is controlled with the age old response of "switch sides". Also, it is EASY to log in that night during prime hours.
-
I don't understand why people could possibly like Titanic Tuesdays. There are constant gargantuan hordes and having that amount of players in the same place causes tons of lag and other bugs. It's gotten to the point where my squad is changing it's squad night (it's been Tuesday since before TT started).
HTC split up the arenas for a reason...
-
their customer service is top notch. it's very rare that there are any problems loggin in.
did you ever think possibly the problem was on your end?

TT sucks because nothing but gangs and hores. I want a fight not a fly in to a fight have 10 others jump me and have to start all over again. Without incentive to switch you would have people generally would not switch and stay where they are because the fights would be easier. Not everybody in the game has enough respective for the other players to keep the sides even. It's just the real world.
It is easy to log in but finding fights that most consider fun is another story. Since you have been to many "rodeo's" cowboy then you should know that these have been systems that have been placed through testing aimed at getting as close as possible to a happy medium.

TT was only added after after people whined loud enough about the split arenas that HTC decided to remind them why they were split in the first place.

Well...since "Money" is the cupcake here.....I'm not sure he would appreciate the location for your cupcake holder!!! :D
Money...I know this might be a little tough for you and watanna to understand......but the system works exactly as HT wanted it to work. Does that mean that sometimes, someone is "inconvenienced"? Yes, but your individual convenience is less important to HTC than the overall "health" of the game. If either of you doubt (or have problems understanding) what I'm talking about......you might want to make use of the "search" function.
Have a nice day.... :devil

I took a poll, slapped it upside the BBs here and the information fell out like candy from a pinyata.
But I digress. My final point on the subject.......
If our login habits are any indication as to what the customer's desires are, it is obvious MOST want in the arena with the most players/fun. If not, why is one arena maxed all the time and the other filled with those who got tired of the same old BS responses and gave up questioning? I mean 3 special event areans 2 that have nothing going on? an AvA arena where maybe 2 guys and a few shade accounts live? Up the arena caps a tad and it would help a ton. I still hate the "happy medium" of two arenas, but can live with it IF I can get in the one I desire. The holidays are here!!!!!

Once again, I offer you a clue rake (they are cheap...get one of you own :))......use the SEARCH function. Answers to all of your questions are readily available via that function. :)
(one more little clue...this small company with the customer service that you talk so bad about....will generally take your phone calls and give you answers to many of your questions. I suggest you call between 10am and 5pm CST.)

Since when is the most populous arena the one that offers the most fun? Define your idea of what fun is. If fun means running with and hiding within a horde, then maybe the arena with the largest crowd is what you want.
It terms of game play, the Orange Arena is the Meca for noobs. Thus, one can always find a mob of them doing something silly. On the other hand, the less populous Blue Arena usually demonstrates less pack mentality. That means less hordes and better fights.
My regards,
Widewing

On topic:
HiTech has explained why they split the arenas on many occasions. Please contact anyone of the HTC staff, if you are this concerned about it.
Many things are factored into the arena caps, it's not simply "Oh hey look 900 people want in Orange, open it up for them!". Sever limits, latency and other such things factor in. Think about Titanic Tuesday, there are glitches, bugs and lag like you wouldn't believe due to the amount of players on one server (or so I have heard this is the reason).
I would suggest this thread either die or calm down into a more suitable and acceptable chat.
Again Skuzzy sorry for breaking a possible rule; just playing peacekeeper here. Maybe I can just get a years pardon? :)
-
Looks like another that gets tired of paying for a busy signal. That stuff about blue arena being where the less hording goes on is really a lame reason to go in there on purpose. I thought the same thing and tried that a few times myself. I found no real fight at all going on until the number of people increases to around 80 per chess piece. Then you can actually find some one in the air instead of playing aces low. I feel the same way about the arena caps. Raise them to meet the same number as the other arenas at least around peek times for the different time zones or something. This has been brought up a lot here on the bbs and the same old canned answers from the phanbois will always be the same and the op will always be the one who is labeled wrong for voicing a problem. It all comes down to the greater good man. Email htc over this subject. All you're going to get in here over caps, eny, and those subjects is a headache man. Oh and happy thanksgiving everyone its almost here!

Someone should mention their Constitutional Right to go to the arena they want to when they want to. After all, it is their Fifty cents that's being wasted.
I wonder if junkies complain to their dealers as much when they can't get what they want when they want it.

See, this proves you havn't a clue as to how things work. The two late war arena caps are "dynamically linked" as the population in one arena increases it opens more space in THE OTHER ARENA. This is used to insure that BOTH arena populations increase some what evenly. HTC has said that 500 is about the MAX population for an arena due to how the health/game play deteriorates. So if he set the two late war arenas to 500, and 550 people wanted in you get one full arena, and a second with 50 people in it. Those 50 people aren't having fun, not enough people. So by linking the arenas you have about 275 people (it does fluctuate due to the number of people loggin in and out all the time) in each arena, making it more fun for most people.
I mean 3 special event areans 2 that have nothing going on? an AvA arena where maybe 2 guys and a few shade accounts live?
the other arenas have nothing to do with the MAINS. This is NOT a hardware issue where HTC is running out of server space. My guess is they could run 25 arenas with 500 people in each if they had the people.
Up the arena caps a tad and it would help a ton.
You can't up the arenas any other way and still keep it fair and fun for the majority of the people. This week we have you complaining about caps. If HTC were to put it back to a hard cap of 500, and you where one of the 501-550 people to login each night he would STILL have you here complaining (that he did things YOUR way), but you would be joined by the other 50 or so people complaining about not being able to get into the other arena.
I still hate the "happy medium" of two arenas, but can live with it IF I can get in the one I desire.
Whats the big deal with Orange anyway? I logged into there because one of my squadies was there last night and it sucked! Knights were hitting one base with 4- 1 numbers advantage ( and STILL didn't get the base). Fights sucked due to the heavy cherry picking. Bish where hitting undefended bases up north. I upped a pony only to kill 1 of the first 6 people I encounted. The other 5 lawn darted at two different bases taking out a vh and radar (such skills!) Only good fight I had was bouncing "humble" in his A20 while fighting Boner in a tiffy, while a NIK tried to cherry pick me. As a rook the fights sucked, as a Knight or Bish you'd be a horde monkey. WOW !!! sounds like the place to be!
The holidays are here!!!!! Yes, let go of the stress dude !

Just a suggestion...
Perhaps you could log into the Blue Arena and use radio V set to "Squad" and ask your Squad to join you in the Blue Arena.
It works for me and my Squad.
Just a suggestion, though. :) <S>
-
It would be less responsible if they made the arena caps wide open and allowed one arena to get overcrowded thus making a titanic tuesday everyday and the other arena to allow you to here the crickets chirping.
If that's whats going to happen then obviously the customers all want to play together in one big playground and aren't currently getting what they want.
I feel the same frustration and there's nights I don't even log in because I don't want to fight to get into the arena that I want to fly in.
The best thing that could happen is going back to one big LWMA but with more options for side shows (WWI, Korea, Spanish Civil War, EW, MW, full weather arena (wind and night), etc.) to take some of the pressure off the LWMA voluntarily.

While you have figured it all out some folks think the Game should be designed around themselves. I wonder how many games Money has on the market right now and how they are doing.

personally bald I don't think that is the way it is. I think they would be logging into the big arena because there is no one in the smaller one and chosing the lesser of the 2 evils (big overcrowded arena over the listening to crickets chirp)
I definitely don't think the best thing would be to go back to one big late war. Personally I think the game play on titanic tuesday is far worse than any other day including the weekends during summer when all the squeakers are out of school.
I guess it is hard for any person to see what is the best for everyone when they have their own opinion (that is anyone you, me,the OP)

Help is one click away.....:D http://www.phonemerchants.com/tvmagnifier.html
Sever limits, latency and other such things factor in.
Actually, they don't. HT has stated numerous times that the issues that created the need for the arena changes were not hardware related...they were "social".
How about this instead of small text? :devil
-
Folks, the intent of my post was to point out that options do exist and that it is up to the players to exercise those options. Perhaps some players do not know how to exercise those options and this is why I mentioned the ability to cross talk the Arenas utilizing the Radio V Squad feature.
Should an individual player not wish to communicate with his/her Squad utilizing the features built into the communications system in Aces High, nor wish to ask his/her Squad to meet him/her in a different arena whilst utilizing the system established is an individual decision by that player, and not a fault of HTC.

Fine you evil person, you. Go ahead and torment my eyes. :P
Also, if it is not hardware related, why is it that Titanic Tuesday is so darn laggy?

Lots of good fights in blue , ok if I have to pick a color I'll just call the blue arena orange there I'm happy and vice versa . and my squaddies are on in blue ah I mean oranger most of the time . and everyone enjoy the holidays and drive safe . best wishes to all of you .

i fly in the late arena because my squad does ,i dont care if its blue or orange as long as its not one of the crappy little maps,there is nothing ever different happening on the small maps,the ganging is always the same place and the game play stale.
If a big map is in blwe and a samll ion orange ill go to blue and visa versa.
But if theres a crap map in both ill just log off as mid and early arenas for me at the times i play are just a waste of electricity.If i wanted to play against 6 people i would have stayed with cfs.
The limints on the late arenas at weekends should be adjusted more earlier not just prime time USA

Is the difficulty logging in tonight and indication of the service we can expect over the holidays?
I tried for 20 minutes to log into the Orange arena. During that time, I watched all the resources open in other arenas going to waste.
When I started to log in...
EW 12/350
MW 63/350
Orange 305/200
Blue 147/250
AvA 0/200
SE1 33/650
SE2 0/650
SE3 0/650
Twenty minutes later...
EW 11/350
MW 64/350
Orange 288/300
Blue 152/250
AvA 0/200
SE1 33/650
SE2 0/650
SE3 0/650
Pathetic customer service. Prime time and people are dropping off because it is a pain in the (_*_) to log in. I realize we only pay a few bucks a month, but for Christ's sake, you guys have been running this thing for years and still can't do anything on your end to make this easier on players. everything requires the player to adjust to lazy fat business practices.
Your arena is to full? "Pick a different arena" fly with people you don't know or on a terrain you don't like.
Sides are unbalanced? "Switch to another side"
Want to fly your favorite plane? "Sorry, env says ewe can't at the moment", "Read other options above"
Being the only decent WWII era Flight Comabt sim for the past years is the only thing that keeps this thing afloat. It could last longer and have larger participation if people didn't have to contend with a company resting on their laurels. I'm not asking for a new grphics engine, different planes, new content, etc.. I just want to be able to get to the existing content quickly, have fun, and log out!
Ewe can take that to the bank!
