90% of the time i try to log in to the orange arena it says players/max the players is always more than the max ! the other night 220/100 right now 120/100 waited awhile 112/100 then 125/100 why cant i get in!
-
It's all part of the cap. Perhaps the cap raised for a moment then lowered again. Just play in one of the other arenas for a while, you might even make some new friends.
-
thanks just tried it again 117/100 i waist more time trying to play than playing
-
Yes, the cap can get annoying. In such a case I would just suck it up and head into EW, MW, or the AvA. Who knows, you might come out a better pilot.
-
Try the other late war arena.
Caps go into effect at noon central time. Right around that time there will be a great disparity between the number of people in the "popular" arena and the cap because they were in there before the cap kicked in.
It usually takes a few hours for the numbers in the "other" LW arena to raise up near the limit and bump up the caps in the "popular" arena.
Why must you get into Orange so bad? Have you tried Blue?

IF such a squad really wanted to fly together above all other considerations, they could move to the arena with the lower cap.

Feeling spammy Tr!gg?
I've said it before, squad night should begin on the lower populated arena. Maybe they're avoiding certain people on purpose.

well most peeps in this game are squad orientated so they should figure it out for the majority... Yep that makes sense to me throw in a squad with 20 members in the lower populated areas... Sure that makes sense... Never would avoid any arena because a certain squad was there dont flatter urself :D :noid
-
Maybe the lower populated area is the crappy map.
<S>
-
Then you make your own terrain to increase the choices.
-
Do you know how to make terrains? Do you know how to make a skin, which is probably just as hard. Tried both, not as simple as you say.

Then it's not about flying with the squad, is it? If it was, the arena wouldn't matter, would it? It's about flying where the numbers are, pure and simple.
I think for the "majority" it would be logical to go where 20 members of a squad will fit instead of whining about not being able to go where they will not fit.
But, it is what you make of it.

makes sense to me...NOT... I was not whining by the way was just agreeing with someone else.. Its an easy system to beat...Just try to log in 30 times then log out and bamb there u go... Server faked out squad member in :aok You still are missing the point my thick headed friend.. The point is if ten members of the squad are playing together in a given arena for lets say a few hours then why would the whole squad leave an arena because of arena caps? To get one person in? Now if u have 30 players total in purple and ur whole squad goes in on rooks at the same time tell me were is the sense in that? :salute

The question is, how bad does the squad want to fly together? Did the squad begin the night in the less populated arena so any late commers could join with less trouble?

If you were all showing up at the same time, getting in either wouldn't be a problem at all or you would have to go to the less populated arena so you could all fit. A big squad, no matter the numbers in an arena,working together are going to make an impact.
Just a bit of planning ahead of time, cooperation within the squad, may solve your problems.
The problem with what I suggest, however, is, I suspect, others, seeing the numbers in the arena, that was less populated when you entered, now seems more attractive and they will want to fly there also. This would possible make the arena you began in the presently popular arena and, again, your late squad members would have a difficult time getting in.
If true, it would again prove that arena choice is purely based on the numbers in there when one want to join and little else.
In any case, as you stated, the system is easy to "trick", which isn't really tricking at all, so why worry about it?
