Wonder if the ENY is screwed in BLUE Arena? :rolleyes:
-
:rofl Caps rock!
-
I think it’s about time players stop moaning (including myself) about caps and help HTC come up with ideas to better the game.
-
I think it's fine, it is how the peeps are forced to anoyher arena! To keep performance up I imagine! :aok
-
I tried to login at the same time apparently.... saw the same thing
as to the ENY.......... of course if you went in blue you would have 100% of members in arena...... your ENY would be 29
so you would be in an arena by yourself with nobody to fly against......... and not even able to fly a decent plane
WTFG HTC arena caps work so well

So, why would you need a descent plane if no-one was there? :huh
-
Any plane on the list is decent if you can fly.
-
I would bet the ranch that you probably just happened to come upon the point where the Blue arena was just reset (hence 0 players) ... which in turn dropped the MAX CAP on the Orange (100) due to Blue being "cleaned out".
There are much larger things in life to have hissy fits over than arena caps.
-
It was the very moment Titanic Tuesday was shut down and arena format went to the standard 2-arena setup.

If TT was shutdown ... then how could Orange have those numbers ?
Could it have been that TT scheme (single arena) came to it's end ... a second arena (Blue) was started and the "CAP" logic was activated ?

Yes, that's the way TT is ended. The TT arena itself is not "shut down". I may have worded that in a misleading way. TT Arena is renamed to Orange and Blue is opened.
-
Same thing happens anytime a map is reset. :aok

Wasnt whining just wanted to show how well the CAP work.
Thought it was kind of funny. Prolly have larger things to do than play.

That screen shot shows that it's working perfectly ... :D
-
Screencap is result of Arena reset.
ENY doesn't take effect unless there is a minimum number of players in the arena.
Who will post next and whine about arena caps?
I'm still curious as to what the problems is with caps better than :cry.

Unfortunately, you took a snapshot of the arena numbers at a time when Titanic Tuesday was being switched back to the normal arena setup, hence the numbers. So, you kind of failed pretty bad in trying to show how the arena caps don't really work (in your opinion).

My mommy had just picked me up from daycare, so I didnt know it just changed over from TT.

This is the game before the game. Its kinda like a sprinter stretching before a race. I get my mouse hand warmed up by pressing online, ok, quit, online, ok, quit, online, ok, quit.
Those 52 in Blue are awfully tempting! :rolleyes:
The cap dance. :aok

Uhm.. at this time of day they are just wasting their time with enter/exit.
Blue has to get to 105 players before cap on Organge is being increased, and it takes more than just a few seconds for those 36 players over cap in Orange to leave the arena.
Now if everone that's waiting to get into Orange or just turning away because he can't get into the arena with numbers would simply go into Blue... ;)

If he figured out a way to deliver beautiful blonde Swedish Massage Nurses trained in the art of all endings happy, awarded for every five kills.... someone would post a whine about it.

If I can't get in the Arena my squadmates are in, I just leave instead of choosing another. ;)
-

Ditto.
If I cant get in the arena I want to get into after trying several times. I just leave as well.
I'd rather not fly at all rather then be forced to play in an area I dont want to be in.
In the last week I have yet to log on and not see Orange with more numbers then its max.
and thats pretty normal for the time that I log on
Usually by less then ten. Sometimes by more then 20. And Im not even talking about after a reset.
My honest opinion. Is either make Titanic Tues permanent. Or just set the cap limits to 400.(450 would be better) I rarely see the arena maxed out at over 400.
And let the PLAYERS decide where they want to be.
Another option would be a different setup entirely. Go back to the days of yore in another game but with a new twist.
Have a European Arena and a Pacific arena with arena specific terrains and plane sets. (Anyone remember that GORGEOUS pacific arena Fester (I think) made with the palm trees and cool colored tropical water?
Then let Titanic Tues be a merger of the two. with alternating terrains from week to week
It certainly would give Titanic Tues more meaning.
It would also give the map makers something to think about.

With all due respect.
I think the players can read it just fine. But based on the numbers I usually see in Blue.
Many are saying "NO".

....and then you'll be the 405th person to log in that night and you'll still be complaining you can't get into the arena. Also, how many do you think would log in when they could and just sit in the tower all day while they are at work to insure they have a spot that night?
The system HTC has now is not perfect, but it's the most fair of all of those suggested on these boards. Having the arenas "Euro", and "Pac" specific might work, but you couldn't have the full out MA available at the same time. Reason being is most people will stick to what they "know", and stay in the MA style arena and never check out the others, much like the EW and MW are now.
I'd like to see them try the two arenas. I know it would "split" the population, but this might be a good way to split it. Few people might feel "forced" but I think there would be less complaining about it. It could do the job HTC needs done to try and keep the problems they see in the "high population"/ single arena down, with less feeling of being "herded" to one arena or another.
I don't see where they have much to loose trying it out. Many players are already looking at "Org" to be "Their" arena and get mad when they can't get into it, what difference would it make calling them Euro, or Pac? The plane set would be the deciding factor as to which arena you want to fly. Squads that stick with one type of plane would be in which ever arena supports that one moving whole squads into different arenas.
I'd like to see them try this, it really couldn't be worst than what we have now.
-
Wow I did not realize it was so bad for so many of you. I'm glad that on an extremely rare occasion that I may not be able to get in.... my squad thinks enough of me to change arenas. Guess some squads just don't care about their members these days.
That has happened exactly 0 times as I have never had a time when I could not get into any arena within a few minutes.
-
When I see that, I just log. I don't fly on the other server because I like to fly with certain groups on the one that is usually full.
Unless I just want to fly, try new things etc. Then I'll just log into the TA , take some abuse there and then log.
-

as to the ENY.......... of course if you went in blue you would have 100% of members in arena...... your ENY would be 29
so you would be in an arena by yourself with nobody to fly against......... and not even able to fly a decent plane

Wow. I mean...wow.
OTOH, there are also plenty of people who would rather not fly at all than be forced to fly some plane other than their favorite. The game caters to all tastes. Hey, it's your money.

C'mon Shuffler. "Guess some squads just don't care about their members these days." Classic fanboy retort.
Why would you want your squaddies to have to come to a crap arena?
That's a great solution to have 5-10 of my buddies come to an arena w/ 40 in it. Then we can go fight a country with 13 guys representing it and the ol timers can call us a horde.
Woot a toot. I'm thrilled.
Also, It's nice that the Orange arena with 150 gets shrunk down to 100. That way neither arena gets too fun.
-
I never worry about getting into orange unless squadies are in there. In fact often time I'll go into blue even if orange isn't capped. I've never noticed any difference at all in blue. In fact sometimes I find better fights in blue than orange.
-
*Shrug* dont see what the big deal is - if I cant get into the arena my squaddies are in, I go into the other one. Then, when the cap increases, I try again. I dont generally have to wait long for either the cap to increase, or more of my squaddies signing in and joining me in the other arena.
I've had some fun fights waiting for the cap to increase, and in the end never bothered to join the other arena, as I'm having fun where I am.
just my o.o2p worth of wurzel logic,

I don't understand these two statements. How do you know what is in the other arena if you just give up and sulk?
The arenas are what you make of them. Apparently, the arena you can't get into, no matter what, is the better arena. Has to be, right? I mean, everybody else is there. I must be teh 133t.
I will still contend that if a squad, on its squad nigh and expecting more players to join, picked the "crappy" arena, not only would later members be able to get in, it would also no longer be "crappy".
Try it.
Besides, if you're willing to just give up because you can't get into the arena you want then it's not really about the game, is it?

Typical of those that have little ability to discuss anything.... they fail to name calling. Glad I am a member of a squad with folks who all enjoy flying together. We never have that problem.
As for crap arena... most of the time blue is far better than orange.

No. the entire reason why I said 400 ands that 450 would be even better. Is that when eny is in that number range I find it to be the exception rather then the norm if its full.
How I get into Orange most nights is I log in. Orange is over capacity. So I log in and out of blue until orange isnt.
Its a PIA and I'd rather not have to go through that. But most of the time it works.
why dont I just stay in blue?
Because 99 times out of 100 there isnt anything remotely interesting going on.
Either everyone is in GV's Or its hordes against undefended bases.
Zzzzzz...ZZzzzzzz.

I am and always have been against eny. But not for the same reasons as most people
Eny doesnt bother me for plane choices. I can have just as much fun in the 109F as I can in the 190 D-9
I just think there were better ways of dealing with ENY and the hordes
Where I fly does bother me, for the reasons I listed above.

Any response about asking your squaddies to come fight againt 13 people?
Do you need to stick to a skillz argument to avoid the obvious answer?
-
So many options..
go to other arena
say hi to the kids
make more kids
mow the lawn
have a drink
see some friends
read a book
see a movie
do the dishes
argue with the dog
bbq the cat
do your homework
have a snack
go to bed
-

bbq the cat
Sometimes my second choice. More time then not though its "throw the cat in the pool" Always amused at a cats ability to try to run in 4 directions at once when they realize while airborn they are about to get very wet.

LOL how true.
The kitten the missus brought home a few weeks ago is cute and all but he is ALL OVER the place... like ontop of my turntable and other places a kitten has no business beeing :mad:. No idea how many plants and stuff have fallen over either. He is a little bugger for sure

Your lack of skill concerning having a discussion kind of negates your opinion. Once you lower yourself to name calling your opinion is usually ignored by many.
As for your comment on 13 people..... no idea where you get that number. Only time I have seen numbers that low is right after a reset.

Thin skin about the "fanboy" maybe? That came after you made the assertion that some squads just don't care about their members. I guess you jabbing an entire squad is fine though.
The reason I used 13 is because the picture I showed has an arena w/ 40 people in it.
3 countries 40 people = 13-14 on each side.
Is that really an arena that you are gonna call 5-10 squaddies over to?

Your right.. we are all much better off if you just log off.
Per your post it sounded as if your squad did not care about you or you were afraid to ask.... again per your post.
It is very rare that all teams in any arenas are equal numbers.... of course if you don't look and just assume you'll be away from the game alot it seems.
As for calling names it does not bother me. I'm just stating facts.

If I fly LW, 99% of the time it's the Blue Arena ... and I always find something interesting going on and it's usually no different than what is going on in Orange ... just less people.

The best thing about the Blue arena is that you don't have retards like ROX polluting the place.
