This just happened in a span of within the last 1 hour... i was booted out... and when i restarted the game the arena was capped... twice! :cry :cry :cry i have gotten used to getting disconnected due to caps... so with the second one... i was in a bomb run with 7 kills at a98 in a20*had two 2 hit wonders*... and diving down.. i get capped!! WTF? :mad: :mad: is Hitech intention really to destroy the game and get less people interested in the game? cos the game had almost 200 players and the cap just filtered those numbers...to 147... and then cap again at 147/100.. i have checked to see if the numbers grew in other arenas...IT DIDN'T! people just stopped playing altogether! i would like to congratulate Hitech for their magnificent game plan for thining out their ever supportive gamers. Really... get over the hording bit... people still horde in cap arenas... it really makes no sense to cap people's fun..YES.. THATS WHAT YOU ARE DOING!! WAKE UP :O

The arena caps are like the Energizer Bunny of whine generators...it keeps on going and going and going...

Maybe not the right place for it but I have noticed on more than a few nights,, the nits outnumbered in orange,, and it is capped,,, can't get in,, then go to blue and 25+ ENY,,,
I fly nit all the time since that is were my friends are,,, I should probably change sides, and fight the low numbered side,, but as of yet have not started to!
I think we should be able to see the numbers in the lobby! if one side is short in a capped arena,, we should be able to change sides and then get in!
it just seems strange that one arena will have 150 and be short one side a good bit, yet the other arena has 40 players in it and over half are on one side!
set cap on the main orange at 50 per side if you must,, then let people in if the side they want is below the numbers!

Come to MW when caps start to blow. No caps on MW :)

Glad to see that the caps have made the arenas "healthier". :aok

The game is great and getting better with updates, but the split just plain sucks and always will no matter how you cut it. The sense of community is fragmented, and with it, my interest in the game.
I'm interested to know just how many people dislike the split. HTC should post an in-game poll, as they have with prospective planes, and see what side of the fence the community sits.
There has to other options. Splitting the community up is not cutting it.

Well rumor has it that there are going to be a decent number of people in the AVA tonight around 8:00 all flying together and, as the Hoover vacuum poster child of cartoon airplane pilets I could sure use some help. No caps and all :D

There are other Arena's in the game when the Caps happen go check em out you might like. Ava is always a blast and keeps you on your Toes. Slightly more realistic with weather changes no icons. Caps will always be a part of this game so we should all just get used to em.

But the turtle won the race and if he harbors a grudge against the bunny he beat then that turtle has some serious mental issues.

Well I agree with this. I don't think we'll see a poll cause the answer to were the majority of the community sits is obvious. Having poll results for all to see could or would put HTC in tight spot possibly either by having to do something they dont want to do, or by looking like unconcerned, out of touch absentee landlords just collecting a paycheck. No, I don't think there will be any community polls. Instead they'll let a few posters scorn all who dare speak up and keep the status quo.

Caps have nothing to do with you getting booted, your having a sucky internet connection does how ever. Get ping plotter and run it to see why your connection sucks.

Being outright disrepectful won't get you anywhere. Well, except muted. :eek:

SEE.. one more point to prove Hitech is a NAZI org... can i be banned from this forum? better watch my words..hitech's Gestapos are around....
i am also definately sure it has everything to do with hitech with my disconnection with host...because i get disconnect whenever there is a change in the arena cap... be it up or down...and my internet if disconnects will have a strange disconnection sound.. so it is def hitech and prob something to do with the AUS telstra..
-

If you didn't get a warning message that the arena was about to close before you got disconnected, then it HAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH YOUR DISCOS! With the exception of twice a day when the arena switches (late night to 3pm) nobody will EVER get disconnected because of arena caps. The caps simply stop people from getting in, it doesn't force anyone to leave.
You have other serious internet issues causing this that you need to get resolved before you come on here and start cussing out HiTech over it.
Oh, and BTW, if HTC was like the NAZIS then you wouldn't have the choice to just quit, now would you?

Caps have nothing to do with you getting booted, your having a sucky internet connection does how ever. Get ping plotter and run it to see why your connection sucks.
As Fugitive mentioned, HTC is not booting you from the game. Unless you see an actual message such as "The Arena will Rest in 10 Minutes".. etc, it is your internet connection which is causing the disconnection from the game. Look in the Technical Support forum to get the IP addresses of the servers, download a copy of PingPlotter and run the addresses for at least 10-15 minutes. You can even send the results to HTC and I'm sure they'll be happy to explain what is happening. In the end, you'll likely have to talk with your ISP about your service however.
And as for the caps, and someone "stealing" your spot in the arena, I would suggest you run a search through the BBS under "Arena Caps" posted by either Pyro or HiTech, and read how they really work before coming back and complaining. Nobody "steals" your spot, caps in Orange are directly proportional to the number of people in Blue. If too many leave the Blue arena, the caps in Orange go down, and vise versa.
*Edit* You may want to try resetting your modem (unplug, wait for 30 seconds, then plug it back in again), this can be a quick fix, but may not address the overall issue with your internet connection.

Oh...and I got "discoed" twice on Monday....it wasn't HTC, my ISP took a senior moment(s).
Sometimes you have to take disco's with a grain of salt. It might take some time to get back in but it's worth it.

Then phone up congress and tell them to get some infrastructure up and running, and also to shove a fine up your ISP's arse for being crap.

Crashed for everyone? It doesn't seem like it if they all were still in there. So, if the game is crashing just for you... I'd blame your computer or connection.

I got discoed while taking a online exam today. Those arena caps are a mofo man. :noid
-

Blame the computer? Blame the connection? WRONG. There is nothing wrong with my connection and nothign wrong with my computer. I have been a software engineer for more then 15 years. Instead I will put the blame right where it belongs. THE PROGRAMMER! When you receive unhandled exceptions there is no one else to blame. I've been programming software for the finiancial sector for years and believe me, if my release code had these kind of errors I would have been fired years ago.
Now smart guy, lets hear how I am wrong and how I know nothing. Lets hear your infinite wisdom in an area you know nothing about. You don't get 61,296 posts in your Technical Support forumn because nothing is wrong.
-
if you guys say its my connection , then why is it whenever they change the numbers, i get disconnected? (for your information, i'm runnig a T1 connection)... it always happens.. just like now... they just capped it again.. and i got host disconnected.. ask other people playing in australia if that happens...
-
Wow... just wow... :huh
-
I've often wondered myself if the random discos happen on purpose to "cull the herd" and get folks into the other arenas. :headscratch:
But my question is what is the big deal? Can't you have just as much fun in the other arena? I've never understood why everyone always wants to flock to LWO no matter how crappy the map is. You can do the same thing in blue as you can in orange.
I think that maybe the OP was pissed about losing 7 kills more then anything else and wanted to blow off some steam.....which is understandable. I'd be pissed too, but I've learned over time that coming here and doing that just ends up making me even more mad. :lol

You're not worth it.

So are you 3 years old, or brain damaged?
If it's so bad, find another game.
And yeah it's HTC's turf and BBS. You are playing in his house and his rules. No one says you have to come into his house however. That's the choice you have.
So my suggestion remains, if it's that bad, find another game.
Saying it doesn't make me a Hitech groupie. It does suggest I'm grown up enough to recognize the difference between commenting on something and throwing a tantrum.
-
Dude... haha... whoa.
A little defensive are we?
I'm going to write you a prescription for a 'chill pill,' go ahead and get that filled as quickly as possible.
Your silence on the issue is telling. Sorry about the smack down but you needed because there are issues that need to be resolved and throwing out the quick. "Its your computer" crap just doesn't work in my opinion :aok

I'll bite.
Were you ever an aeronautical engineer in Scotland?
I'll bite the OP's too.
Are you getting dico'd from both arena's or just the capped arena you can't get back into?
If it is the latter, I think it's a NAZI conspiracy.
If you're not getting booted out of the uncapped arena, maybe take that as a hint?

Alrighty, lets take this from the top (Warning, constructive post coming up!)
If the game is crashing solely for you, there is possibly a problem with:-
A. Your connection (its christmas, lots of people on the interweb, packet profiling by your isp, or simply a bad step somewhere in your connection to the game)
B. Your computer (resource issue, something running in the back ground contending with the game etc)
If the code of the game was at fault, everyone would be aware of it, and this thread would be waaaay bigger (as everyone would be in here as frustrated as you appear to be)
The game (as I understand it) use's UDP as primary communication, switching to TCP when UDP packets are not being received in a timely manner. This could be due to a bad hop, latency within your isp's connectivity to the backbones etc. If you lose UDP, in my experience, you shortly lose connectivity via TCP as well (ie, you disco)
UDP packet time out parameters could be extended, but the weird things seen in game would multiply big style, so not worth it.
Steps to take, grab pingplotter (its a free d/l from here http://www.pingplotter.com/download.html (http://www.pingplotter.com/download.html), install and run. When running, run it for a few minutes to get a good spread of results. Post your results if your not sure of anything. If you see a bad step, let Skuzzy know, and he might be able to help you. Post a dxdiag in the help forum (to start dxdiag, click on start, run, type dxdiag and hit enter). This will help determine whether there is a problem with your computer.
hth,

Actually, I just avoid talking to people who turn into a psycho at the moment of a rather docile suggestion. Someone who so aggressively starts touting there experience usually is compensating to cover up a lie (especially when they can't spell the field they are in). Anyway, I'm done with you, no reason to get on Skuzzy's bad side because of your reaction.

You should read all that has been going on since you were either away or asleep.
-
Did you send them scotch? I did, and now, I never get booted, Skuzzy actually apologized the one time he mixed up my session ID with someone else's and inadvertently triggered those darned exceptions on my computer, and not long ago I got the email with the instructions for how to get into the capped out arenas via the beta code. If you haven't yet done so, I would - just make sure you send the good stuff when you do.

The game is great and getting better with updates, but the split just plain sucks and always will no matter how you cut it. The sense of community is fragmented, and with it, my interest in the game.
I'm interested to know just how many people dislike the split. HTC should post an in-game poll, as they have with prospective planes, and see what side of the fence the community sits.
There has to other options. Splitting the community up is not cutting it.

I don't have a problem with the updates or the game. I would disagree that the split has fragmented the community. I find Titanic Tuesday to be the most discouraging time to fly. The conversation is not nearly what it is when the two LW arenas are going. Folks don't seem nearly as pleasant and it is much more horde v few. Tonight in Blue was so much better then Tuesday it's not even close.
Base taking wasn't an issue either night. How people played and interacted was. That's how the community gets stronger. Although I did have some guy grumbling that I switched sides, and making sure I knew he didn't like side switchers! :)

I also dislike Titanic Tuesday. It's nothing but furball central. Makes me want to slit my wrist with a spoon :rolleyes:
"Let's take a base!" - yeaahhhh!!! *mission posted with nothing but runstangs and other fighters - no ords at all* Uh :huh....how are you gonna take the base? :headscratch: "Meh, decided to start a furball" - :noid :furious :noid :huh :noid :mad: :noid :mad: :noid
-
Where did you see a furball? There as a horde v horde that moved back and forth that was not a furball, but a gang bang by whichever side had numbers at the moment. Nothing but BnZ birds diving in on anyone engaged in a fight down low. It wasn't even remotely a decent fight.
Upped elsewhere to try and intercept a 30K B17 raid that went deep. More power to em for that. The Mustang escorts looked good, but it was the 262 escorts that kinda killed the moment. I hadn't been that high in AH since the DGS scenario. 4 51s decided I was a problem and bounced me with a blazing HO attack which I ducked. Finally managed to escape that mess after another nose on shot gave me a pilot wound. down to the deck I go where one of the Mustangs ended up and I killed his bird.
When old Soulyss gets discouraged at the game play, I start to worry as he's about as laid back and easy going as anyone in the game. He was fed up last night with the game play finally logging out of frustration.
-
Cool. Half the players dislike Titanic Tuesday because it's pointless furballs only, the other half dislikes it, because it's just landgrabbing hordes... :lol

You would think that as many arenas as this game has everyone would be happy. But nooooooo. Everybody wants to pack into one arena and then complain about how much it sucks. But put a cap on it and not allow them in and they hit the roof. :rolleyes: If this game gave me as much grief as some on here, I just wouldn't play it. Simple as that.
-

Ultimately it does not matter. HiTech's rules, HiTech's house. HTC does listen to well thought out, logical, educated ideas by players about possible ways to make the game better.
Some ideas are tried. Some work, some don't.
The ultimate evidence is HTC's wallet.
Period.

to the best of my knowledge, arena caps will not kick a player out of an arena, but rather only prevent one from entering an arena that is capped.
thus, you may want to take a look at your end.
-

Correct. The caps do not have any influence on the arena, or players in that arena, at all. It's not even the game server itself. It's just a doorman that will tell you which doors you are allowed to go through. Once you are in, he has no more control over you.

ask other people playing in australia if that happens...
OK. I am in Australia. It doesn't happen. It has never happened. I have a bunch of friends that also play from Australia. Quick straw poll shows that it doesn't happen to them either.
You have a problem. Not HTC and not Australia.

Maybe the techtonic plate that Australia rides on moved too far and broke the cable :lol

Blame the computer? Blame the connection? WRONG. There is nothing wrong with my connection and nothign wrong with my computer. I have been a software engineer for more then 15 years. Instead I will put the blame right where it belongs. THE PROGRAMMER! When you receive unhandled exceptions there is no one else to blame. I've been programming software for the finiancial sector for years and believe me, if my release code had these kind of errors I would have been fired years ago.
Now smart guy, lets hear how I am wrong and how I know nothing. Lets hear your infinite wisdom in an area you know nothing about. You don't get 61,296 posts in your Technical Support forumn because nothing is wrong.
LOL ... I have been a software engineer since 1978 ... your WRONG.
First, programming in the "financial" sector means squat ... at least as far as I am concerned ... I can't figure out how or why programming in the "financial" sector would mean you are far more skilled than people who program in other "sectors" ... programming snobbery ?
Secondly, anything that you may have programmed is not even in the same ballpark as programming a game such as this. I could almost guarantee that you could spend the next 15 years trying to program a game such as this and you wouldn't even come close.
If poor programming was causing an unhandled exception then the problem would most likely be rampant amongst all the people running the same program and Hitech would surely know and here about it. Go to the bug forum and see if there are any more people reporting rampant unhandled exceptions ... I'll bet you won't find one thread. If you are experiencing unhandled exceptions, have you posted it in the Bug Forum ? ... have you sent any of the information to "support" at Hitech Creations ?
I have been playing this game since 2002 and I have never ever gotten an unhandled exception running this game ... nor any other repeatable "crash".
One obscure unhandled exception does not poor programming make.
