4:00 PM Orange 200/200
Blue 178/250
6:00PM Orange 243/200
Blue 173/250
How did 43 additional people get into Orange
-
Caps update constantly, you've got a two hour gap there. At some point orange went up to 300, people joined, then numbers went down so caps went down, orange went back to 200. Quite simple.

Both AH help pages as well as AHWiki explain it.

This has to be the 87th thread on this aspect of caps

Ya but it is so much easier to just come to the boards and complain about it. :rolleyes:
-
I was watching it, I wanted into Orange, I keep check the totals in Blue and it never went up it.

I did check the help pages and according to what I read the numbers never really changed enough to allow the cap to rise to 300 in Blue. It went down. I was there checking the caps every few minutes. That's why I asked in here. I asked a question, a question it was not a complaint. it was a question, so please rolleyes elsewhere.

Everyone knows the secret code to get into Orange except you. Is that what you wanted to hear?
-
The secret code? You mean ALT F4 right? :noid
-
when blue hits about 175, orange goes from 200 > 300 and people join.
blue then dropped back below 175 and orange went back to 200 so you cant join but those that did when the cap was higher remain.
if you must go in orange, join blue to try and get it over 175 then exit blue and check orange

Unless you log in and out constantly you won't be able to track the numbers changing. For Orange to be 43 over the limit either 44 people had to log in at about the same time when the arena showed 199/200 or the cap went to 300 and you missed it.

You can track it from within the game. the Roster gives you total numbers . you can tell when you get near a tipping point for the CAP. The Blue never went above 178 or below 160 for the two hours

Actually the 1st number can't be correct.
It can't bee 200/200 and 178/250. If Blue is has 178 players, Orange cap is at 300, not 200. :)

Your right, it was 168 a mis type. sorry

6:00PM Orange 243/200
Blue 173/250
It needed only 2 more players than 173 to raise the Orange cap from 200 to 300. The 70% threshold is 175 players That could have happened at any time during the two hours.

I didn't see it, doesn't mean it didnt happen, it must have right? I was checking every few minutes. That's why I was so surprised when after a disco from the game and saw the 243 in orange. Between 4PM and 6PM the numbers in blue didn't change that much at least when I was checking. My intension was to play in Orange with my squad, so I jumped into blue flew and keep an eye on the numbers for Blue I knew if they went up I could get into orange. That is where my squad was, I was late. The numbers hung around 168 and never really changed. When I got discoed I attempted once again to get into Orange and saw the 243/200. I gave up at that point.

like lusche said, blue only needed two more people to raise the orange caps, you would have been one of them. I bet orange caps went up within a minute of you entering blue.

What he said...
I also think that because the arena cap data is static on the client, and even if an arena is technically open, your client is still sitting on static local data and the game doesn't even bother sending the request but simply reads the local data and says "sorry charlie, arena full"
Just a hunch

Those number changes can happen in seconds never mind minutes. A couple guys go to blue and it pushes the cap up in Orange. One guy is sitting in the lobby a sees the change to 300 and yells out to his squadies in blue that Orange has room. in seconds those who have just logged on, as well as those in blue that switch push the numbers up in orange in seconds also dropping the numbers in blue to drop the cap again. 30 seconds is more than enough time for it to jump that much.
