Because the dynamic caps kick at at 12pm Central.  Do a search and you'll find a million whines about caps.  Sorry, but I don't feel sorry for you.

Sorry, but I don't feel sorry for you.

Why not?  It's a legitimate gripe having just been in a full arena and having fun, to being booted by an act of internet gods, and having to come back and join a 20 man arena.

usually when I'm at the beach and it rains that means there's a storm which means there's 400 other people trying to surf the same beach. Back to topic, I can't seem to feel sorry for anyone right now. I'm at work and would much rather be putting around in a low number arena.

Ok, I feel a little sorry for him getting disco'd and all that.  But that sorrow is buried deep beneath a pile of "don't give a damn", because the first thing he does is come here and whine about it after there have been a million other whines like this.  Do we really need another one?

 :cheers:

I think I've been disco'd a total of three times in the three years I've been here.  That notwithstanding, even if I couldn't immediately log back into whatever arena I was in, I'd take that opportunity to try something different - another arena, another game, a movie, or even go outside and marvel at the glowing ball of gas high up in the sky...what do they call it...oh yeah...The Sun.

It would not even occur to me to come here and whine about it.

Then what are you doing still posting in these forums? All the things you didn't haven't changed obviously. Sounds like plenty of other places to toss yer tuppence around.

Jesus is everything considered a whine to you people!!My real point was actually why does the cap change,What night time folks can have 400 in an arena but the day time folks can`t. Why is that?

Really?  You haven't read or at least seen any of the infinite threads on the dynamic cap?

Seriously?

True, the day time guys who get the shaft should at least know why by now.

umm dont be a fool we all know why they have these caps,at least the one reason they have stated.

The reason being is that apparently too many people makes the game bad, particularly in the social aspect.  Which really dosent make much sense, as their are plenty of games that host far more players than the max here yet, they dont have to limit the max amount of players, nor does their seem to be much social degradation.  I think its a case of correlation vs causation meaning just because the two happen to happen together, (alot of players and the social problems) does not necessarily mean thats the cause

Furthermore i dont think the solution is to limit the arena caps the way they are currently done.  I dont think they should start the caps at noon.  Because for the next  6 hours the amount of players i generally too low to warrant this... a better solution would be to start the caps later like at the beginning of "prime time" if at all, and just simply limit the players based  on the size of the map.

Finally if you want to do something about the "toxic" social conditions get rid of the idiots who constantly complain about getting  hoed, crashing or expressing how player x used a tactic that they did not agree with and thus verbalizes this on 200.  Even crashes are bound to happen with two players trying to get gun solutions on each other.

if there were actually 400 people in the arena at night, there would be caps. dont worry, you're not missing out on anything
