What is the point of the login number restriction?
Case in point try and login and its shows 175/100 ini the arena, wait two minutes and try again and low and behold you can get in.
Hitech please get rid of this daft system!!! WTF is the point of Titanic tuesday and then split the bandwidth for the other six days!!! :mad:
Tonto!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2 minutes, huh?
Anyway, I've been convinced for some time that the login screen randomly shows different arena maximums for different people at different times. Kind of based on what Vox saw. You'll be in an arena and get booted and when you try to get back in it's 235/200 or something waaay off.
Also, I've noticed at midnight Central Time, the maximum go up to 400 no matter how many are on at the time.

I'm partial to the number in the arena going up when its above the cap- ie, it'll be 230/200, then a minute later you'll check back and its 245/200. See LW do that quite frequently at night.

Why don't you do a search (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php?action=search) here on the boards to find out why it is set as it is?

Because
Orange: 321/300

Would be better than...
Orange: 561/850

In which case both arenas would suck.

Yet again you might realise why i write so little on the forums because you always get some @rsehole who thinks it is cleaver to reply with a sarcastic comment to a genuine question rather than take the oportunity to help someone.

Because cap is dynamic and depending on number of plyers in other LW arena. And the numbe rof players displayed on your loginscreen is static. If 5 players enter that screen and see 199/200, everyone of them can enter the arena.. resulting in 204/200 for anyone arriving a bit later at loginscreen.

Dear Vox, I would suggest you look in your own house before calling other people "Moronic" there ideas "Daft" and then become "Angry" because they do not agree with you.

As I understand it, it's all in the timing. When you go to log in your log in screen may show 199/200. This may also show on twenty other people's screen at the same time. Instead of penalizing the slow logger-in-ers, the number is valid for all of them. I pop on ten seconds after you have and my screen may show 200/200 because one of those previous twenty have logged into that arena. You, still deciding where to go, still show 199/200 and are still able to get into that arena. Therefore, all you twenty get into that arena and I try a little later and I see 219/200.
Another way such a disparity would come up is if a lot of people logged off from the smaller arena thus lowering the cap in the full arena. Say the arena's are 219/200 and 189/250 and fifty people in the second go to bed. The numbers may end up looking like 219/150 and 139/200. I'm not sure if that would happen or not. I'm just speculating on that. I have seen that happen after a map reset, however. Where the numbers would be something like 328/100 and 35/150.
My only real question is about how I see the cap maximum seem to change based on time of day. For instance, 6pm EST, the caps will be something like 206/200 and 175/250 but at 1am EST they will be 206/400 and 175/450. I have noticed that the caps jump from whatever they are to 400 at midnight local HTC time no matter the numbers in the arena. I have also noticed that the caps seem to be lower, and work as designed in a dynamic manner, during peak USA playing times.
Just guessing on most of this.....

That is correct, during off peak times 12:00 Midnight -> noon Central Time, there is no need for arena balancing.

Hmmm, Points taken Hitech I appologise if I offended anyone by replying in defense to accusations, however, I and obviously a number of others think the login system is plain daft. (Personal opinion, not throwing a stone, not questioning the right to bear arms, not calling you paranoid! ) :noid
What happened to the 'Customer is 'Always' right' BTW? :O
Me thinks it was Hitechs personal idea to implement the sytem and you doth protest to strongly. :D

Have you done a search for any information on the arena split, or caps? If you did you might understand the how and why a bit better. The customer is always right huh?? I'm sure every customer here would be happy and agree that a free 6 months of on line play would be the thing to do. The customer may be right, but it wouldn't be good business.
The cap system is very easy for a normal human being to understand. The "why's" and the "how's" are all spelled out very clearly on these boards. Do a little research before you post and you may not look like such "Daft" individual.

Here is a sugestion to arena balance.
1. Still keep the arena cap but if a perticular country is real low in #'s compared to the rest, allow only that country into the arena regardless of the arena cap.
ex. Rooks have 150 people, Bish have 160 people and knits have only 90, Then only people who are on the knit country can get into the arena to even the balance within the arena. Obviously there will need to be a threshold of when to allow them to supercede the arena cap. Probably a good start would be when 1 country is 40-50 people less then the other country's. This may help prevent steam rolling/milk running on a the low # country.
2. They can't switch country's to the low # when in the lobby just to get in and then switch back. You have to be already assigned to that country.

to paraphrase.
Me thinks HiTech could not have valid reasons for doing things they way they are, therefore it must just be his idea and since HiTech has a big ego, that is why he protest so strongly.
A lesson most people should learn.

The Fugative, thnx for your profound input, it is possible that I understand the concept I just dont agree with it because I feel personally that it is a flawed solution, but I will add that your input was invaluable and your inimical attitude in keeping with the minority it would seem.

Was already done. Called the Que. You went to the Officer's Club and waited for a spot to open if you were not willing to switch countries or arenas. People whined insesantly about that too. I mean, why should anyone be inconvenienced by not getting what they want immediately? :D :lol

Well Vox, had you taken the time to look and read you would have notice there has been many suggestion made as to how it might be done better. Most have been shot down using logic, and fair play, things that don't mesh well with those who stamp their feet and cry "I want it my way !". However, if it make you feel better please, continue with the "moronic" post, they can only make you look better from here.
