I've said this before. HTC should introduce an uncapped arena.

If there were an uncapped arena, everyone would pile into it leaving the capped arena barren, and gameplay would be crap in both.

It would be great to have the choice. IMO the game play in AH2 only gets better, the more people you have.

No offense froger but you've been playing how long? There was a time when an uncapped arena was full most nights.
If you look at TT weekly it's pretty full. Just because you've only seen a few years doesn't mean it's always been this way.
And....EW and MW have always been just what they are.

IMHO bigger is better. More of everything going on during the same time period. However, not my football so I fly what's available and still manage to have fun.

Iv never had to wait more then five minutes to get around the arena caps. Once you know how they work you can use it to get into the arena you want to play in. Anyone who cant wait five minutes don't really want in that arena. They just want another reason to cry here.

Then tell us how it works mr I've only waited 5 minutes so noone else should have a problem. I've had days where no matter how many times of refreshing there's no going back. I usually log at that point. The maps on the other server usually aren't for me.

Invalid argument.

So your choice is always based on the map and the map of your choice is always in the full arena.

I'm not buying it.

Only the clueless don't know, or don't want to know, how it works. Its been told to you dozens of times by now. Its up to you to to read and understand it. If you don't know how it works after all this time then someone telling you once more isn't going to help.

When I was on a squad and would disco I wouldn't want the squad to have to switch arenas since the fight was already going. Now when I disco if the other arena has a map that u do not like ill wait for the other to open a bit. Once a while goes by and I vanth get into the original arena I log off. It doesn't make sense to try to find a fight with 50 prole total in an arena and maybe 10 per country flying on a big map. What I meant to Larry is if you know of a way to have to wait more than 5 minutes due to some insider knowledge than share it. Don't hold back. If I offended you than get thicker skin. That's not what I posted to do.

Ren

Been flying for about 3 years, and it was something I wondered about but never asked. I didn't know there was a place that explained it but I have read the pages and now I understand it. It was just a question of wondering if side balancing some how got hung up or if there was a reasonable explanation for why it was happening. If I would of known of the page that explained it I guess I would of saved myself from the (dumb question) category.

I propose an arena for the old guys of 10 yrs or longer.....

I'd pay 50 bucks a month (650 a month less than some of the old months)

I'd be free of the gamers...whiners etc.

I'd have guys who love the old WWII birds and friendly banter.....not a lot of the kid crap we hear these days.

Oh yeah.......  and guys who really know SA  etc  and are willing to teach the others the same.

Maybe I'm reminising.........but it would be nice

Caps don't bother me because I can usually get in when I want to, but there is enough complaining about them here
and in the game that maybe Hitech should try an experiment. Take them off for a couple of tours and see how people like it.
I don't know anything about servers, and what it takes to run this game so there may be other issues if that were done, but if not
try it for a couple tours. Personally I don't like Titanic Tuesday but if that is the way the game has to be  played I will still
find a way to enjoy the game.

How mutilated?

The only arguments I see against caps are whines about not getting to fly in a particular arena.  I'll discount the "I can't fly with my squad" whines because that is easily remedied if one takes the effort.  Apparently people would rather whine.

What other arguments?  What am I missing?

Personally, I would like to be able to return in same arena within 1-2 minutes after leaving. Some sort of reserved slots, may be. So ppl can relog w/o 5min of headbashing against arena cap.

Dont sure is it worth coding though.
