Post by: BowHTR on June 13, 2010, 01:04:18 PM
Is this the effects of boredom or CAPs?

It's not the current # of players in arena, it's what YOUR computer thinks it is--ya have to exit lobby and return to get updated count. I suspect that's how megasquads get all their guys on for squad night....they log in early, and just sit there in lobby. Even though current deal is 243 out of possible 200, if YOUR pc thinks it's 134 of 200, you're golden for later on...just sit there an hour or so and dont refresh screen

 :rolleyes:  I don't even waste my time with trying to get into LWorange anymore.

And from he ping rate, I'd say something is sucking the life out of his computer  :lol Ping plotter might serve him well.

Hell thats nothing, once, my ping was at 1700 or so. Turns out I was being routed up to Vancouver, and THEN to the HTC servers for some reason.

Wouldn't be necessary if we could get a refresh button on the server board.

That's been my observation..at NO time have I EVER been refused entry into said arena when my pc showed the #'s being under limits

Been asked for before, if I recall HT doesn't want people constantly pinging the servers for updates. Besides, blue still seems to have room in it.

Yeah, I always find that hilarious...the same dude trying every three seconds to get into Orange because "it's where all teh uber stix hang out and no other arena - even the other LW arena it worth anyone's time."  Sad, really.

At those transitional times of day where there's 200 in Orange and 75 in Blue...there's simply not much fun to be had (as far as furballing goes)
