Step 1: Go back to original system, that is:
Two Arenas constantly up, uncapped from 12am CST till 11pm CST. (1 Hour night change from old system)
Step 2:
Once Arena One caps at 12pmCST, send broadcasts to Arena One via System Message that "Arena 2 is in Perk Bonus effect. Switch Arenas for 2x Perk Bonus Multipliers". Repeat this message every 5 minutes until the bonus session is over. In addition to this system message broadcast, Display a message in the arena login screen that says the same thing.
Step 3:
BONUS TIME RULES
- Bonus rounds kick in when Arena 2 Population/Arena 1 Population is less than 0.6 and deactivate once this ratio grows above 0.8
- Bonus period only applies from 12PMcst till 11pmcst. (During Cap Times)
- When the ratio conditions are satisfied any time during the applicable bonus period, arena message will be displayed and system message will be sent to players in the overpopulated arena.
- Perk bonuses apply in congruence with country multiplier and eny bonuses and apply towards fighter, ground vehicle, and bombers.
- Once the bonus round deactivates, any further planes taking off will not be subject to getting the bonus, however, those planes that are already up are still in line for the bonuses.
What this system will do is force Blue to fill up extremely quickly when caps kick in. Players in the welcome screen will have no problem going to the underpopulated arena, as they will see that perk bonuses are in effect, and even if they do not care about the bonuses, they know other people do care about this, and know people will be coming and there will be action.
In addition to this, the regulars who fly around this time and want to take advantage of the perk bonuses will leave orange a little bit early before noon to secure their place in the perk bonus arena. This will also reduce Blue's downtime. What better way to get perks to fly the new B29, Panther tank, and the old favorites like the Me262 and Tempest than this?
Once the bonus round ends, there will be no issue in blue, since it will be populated and there will be good fights. Going back to the other arena will be an afterthought.
Late at night when caps kick off, the gradual exodus will commence to orange per usual, with no issue. At this time, there will be on bonuses in blue. (See Bonus rules above)
The only disadvantage I see is that there will be a slight influx into the perk economy and as result there will be a very small increase in the number of perked rides that fly. I do not anticipate this being a large number or a problem though. I should also mention that the perk bonus number I threw out there was 2x. This felt like a good number and a great incentive to switch arenas. It could of course be adjusted as needed and such adjustments could be reflected in the system and arena messages.
There will still be caps with this system, however when there are caps, the cap numbers will be manageable, that is one arena is only a few players over the limit at a given time.
This refined system, imo, is the absolute best way to deal with what HTC wants to do and what also appeals to the vast majority of the players in Aces High.

You dont know the horde very well....

It would be a great suggestion, if some us didn't have more than 50k perks.

Your statement made me think about it.
Orange arena would be filled with people who have copious amounts of
perks already, while blue would fill with those who want/need perks.
What do perk-craving people normally fly? High ENY/OBJ aircraft/vehicles.
Hence, blue would lean towards a higher concentration of low ENY/varied
aircaft while orange stays relatively the same.
Personally, the whole system seems too arcadey for me.

:aok good idea

This is why I think this would not be a bad idea at all. Some of us have been playing for a while and have plenty of perks, others don't. It would be a draw either way.

you forget if there arena only has a few players only perks you gonna get are bombers. unless you decide to vulch your squadies. the main problem with the way it was before it was that the arena with fewer number mostly had porkers in it that had no interest in fighting. I know because i spend many nights there when i didnt feel like fighting.

But see, it's not intended to help vets get more perks, it is intended to provide an incentive to players who want perks (How many players have 50,000 perks?), and as result, gives vets an incentive to go there since there will be fights. The point is, all of a sudden it becomes a much more viable option to be in orange and say, "hey lets go check out blue start a fight and earn some perks." The bad guys will say "hey look a little bit of red dar, lets go kill them and earn some perks." Next thing you know the snowball effect creates fights and numbers, and as result, a populated arena.

What better way to get players to start a fight by saying, "Here, start a fight, a furball, whatever, and earn perks". It wouldn't take much at all.

You dont know the horde very well....
What horde? If Orange has 200 players mid day how many of those players are "The Horde" as you refer to? I mean, sure there might be a couple squads with 5 or 6 players on, but do you really think the evil horde is this cohesive unit of 50 strong that is on 24/7 7 days a week? And even if it was 50 strong which it is not, that still leaves the option to 150 players to switch arenas and start a fight and earn perks.

And even if it was 50 strong which it is not, that still leaves the option to 150 players to switch arenas and start a fight and earn perks.
What I am saying is the side that has these like minded players that enjoy only the base taking aspect of the game and tend to congregate (which can be an entire side at times with only a handful that might not participate AND outnumber the each other team) thus creating this massive base taking horde.
So yes, as of now with an arena with 200, you can end up with 80,60,60. Keep in mind I am not referring to "local" horde, I am referring to a side.
This is why they could care less about "perk building" since it has become all about winning the warz with these extra players and the side they are attacking with "all or none" (having already the element of suprise, radar glitches, extra players) can horde upon a base with that much force.
All they would need to do is change their fighter mode to attack mode and do the same thing they are doing now but getting more perks for it(killing hangers, town, deacking etc.). Offering them something else to do like earn perks will probably "bring more of the same" that they do now, (ie dive in from 20k just to kill radar/ords then auger, or die, everything but fight) except they just get paid more for it and probably encourage more hoarding.
If Hitech implements some sort of a side balancing idea as he has discussed that would equal out the sides a bit, your idea would then have some chance and probably would work out and not be taken advantage of by a hording side, but until then I would say no.
Once something is in place that would even the sides out a bit, I would probably agree with you to a point, with some other stipulations about actually landing to count more heavily in that calculation of earning points.

I think it would work..I've been playing 3 years on and off and I don't have more than 600 perks in any category

You use low eny planes and several perk rides. Died in alot of them. Take a screen shot of your perks for us to see. I cant imagine you not having more than 600 in GV perks since you do that the most it seems.
As it is now, if you plan to build more perks the incentive is to be on the lower side and you would build them up faster in any event. Hence the reason why I don't think it will work since these same players don't and wont take advantage of being on the lowere side for the perks as it is now.
-
I don't think perks is the incentive that is going to get players to move to one arena or another. Most of today's players don't seem to be after perks, but seem to be after bases. Most run to the biggest group they can be part of and run with them.
Personally I haven't a problem with caps. My squad is small, and when there are more than one on it's not a problem to switch sides/arenas. I can see where it's an issue with bigger squads. What the solution is, ha I don't know. I was in a big squad and squad nights of 20 were a common thing then for us. We used those numbers to hit/perk a number of bases at once. Today's players can't split up like that, for what ever reason, and so now we have the hordes. Balancing the arena number isn't going to knock down the horde any. I wouldn't have a problem having the Rooks out number 2 to1 by an attacking force as long as the force was spread out over a few bases.
-
Dads, Fugitive, you guys are missing the point and purpose entirely.
This isn't about horde control, it's about developing a way to get the second arena to fill up and/or the arenas to balance as quickly as possible once caps kick in. Lusche's current caps system is better than the old one, however all momentum is lost when the boot happens, and you still have this horrible unbalance issue once the new arena opens.
Perks have value to the majority of players in AH, even players that like to win the war. How else are they expected to be able to afford the B29, Tempest, Jet, Tigers/Panthers? Jaboing bases only earns you a couple perks here and there, it's almost worthless for perk building Dads.
I personally think there would be a good percentage of players willing to switch on any given day at the cap time, maybe 15-20% or so, which would be the perfect number. With this idea it might only take Blue 20-30 minutes to fill up to capacity as opposed to 2-3 hours under the old system.
You could always post an ingame poll "Would you be willing to switch arenas mid day if you received a very large perk bonus multiplier for your troubles?"
Yes
No
Maybe
Not Applicable to me, I don't usually fly mid day

I don't know about the Landing stipulation, as that may cause more altmonkey-dive-pick-run behavior, the rest of it I like. There's nothing worse for gameplay than being locked out of the 101/100 arena while the other one is 18/150

I let my subscription go because of the new arena system. Been playing since '03. With the two arena system you had options. With this set up your option is to furball (during the hours that I normall play). It is not worth $180.00 a year for me.
thats just my $1,440.00 worth.

I agree with you on how frustrating that can be.
Solving the imbalance will resolve just what you described as when you have one arena at 101/100 the other is 18/150.

am I in some type of time warp? when is this? ever since the off hours arena introduction I have not seen 101/100 and 18/150. when I see 119 players total, it's typically off hours, and they all are in the same arena. the off hours arena :)

:lol Thats a daily routine for me when i go to play. Log in, go make a sandwich and coffee because the numbers are going to suck for at least another half an hour. One arena is too low the other is just high enough to not let me in.

Oh, that came from your last post, gotcha. :aok

This idea has merit and should be explored in more depth. There may be other ways to motivate balanced arenas than just perks, but perks is the place the start.

This is proven time and time again during the edge of a reset. Players are more willing to play with 29 eny to win that war for the congratulatory 25 perks in each category. Which in fact they can get easy if they just switched to the low side and get just a couple of kills. :confused:
Nice idea Grizz. I think it would definatley be better than our system in place now, but I dont think it would fully sway people's decision to fly in a lessly populated arena. There are wayyy too many reasons people just gravitate to one arena ( maps, your country getting ganged in one arena, ENY, all squaddies in one arena) that I really dont think everyone is ever going to be pleased. Eventually if HTC ever did give in and gave everyone 1 arena, I think there would be tons of whining to get it back anyway.

funny i was about to quit, was tired of being in an arena with only a few people. when they switched to 1 off hours arena, I stayed.

Too bad when it comes time to shift to the late night arena that the system simply awards everyone in the arena being closed 10 points to goto the late night arena. Then towers them to the late night arena if they accept the offer in their same countries to pick new rides and up in the late night arena.
Everyone would get a system message window with a choice of goto the late night arena for 10points or exit the game.
It sounds lazy and cohersive to place a button in the middel of the screen for a single mouse click and Hitech's coad whisks them away to the next arena along with free points for just clicking their mouse. But, isin't the basic mind set of this whole cartoon existince about convienience and keeping the feeling rolling?
Grizz you are making an ellegant but very mentaly complicated construct based on cohersing players by appealing to their greed. Then you are attempting to support the cohersion with very lofty goals. Who is the audience you are presenting your social engineering document to for peer perusal? Can you reduce it to a level the general herd you want to manipulate will be willing to pay attention to long enough to read and make an informed decision in response?
Your presentation reads like it's targeting a single kindred professional to sell building a new foot bridge over a river while skipping the taxpayer adnausium emotional open forum reviews. After all they don't really know what they want or need do they?
So now we will no longer look at earning perk points as a lofty goal and accomplishment but, rather use them like bread to mollify the crowds while luring them to the circuses. In this case the special down front in the sand seats, standing and dieing room only. Caesar would be tickled.....

I guess you could call it trying to "lure" players to the other arena. I would call it an incentive/bonus. I am directly/indirectly appealing to the entire AH population with this proposition. I am directly appealing to those players that wish to earn bonus perks by taking initiative and starting fights in the blue arena. I am indirectly appealing to players that are looking for fights in Aces High and got the short end of the stick by logging on at the cap transition time. With this system, the confidence level that there would be fights and players coming over would be very high, and as result, people would take off and fight. It's almost like solving the paradox of Aces high. "I don't want to fly there because no one is flying there.". All of a sudden it becomes. "People will be flying here therefore I will fly here". (Regardless of if you are in it for the perks or the fights, both conditions will be met since there are plenty of players that will be in it for the perks.
The perks are just the incentive to kick the snowball down the hill.
Did I make a believer out of you Bustr? :D

It's "bustr"....... ;)
Grizz when you express yourself in the previous manner your ultimate goal of increasing everyones fun in the game shines through and is engaging. I don't see you as particularly being attracted to the rigors required to be a lightning rod of positive good will to lead players by example and demenor. Much like current american popular culture though, our current social problems in game are a reflection of our devolution. People need heros not self serving aholes to follow if you want anything resembling a positive response to a personal example. If you could only change human conduct without having to let them touch you and talk to you. Become a man of the people...eeewwwww. They should just be smart enough to see reality shoudn't they....
One would think you would reach a point that you can harvest just so many baby seals and insult them with how stupid they are before either that which drives you towords your excellence causes you to reach one of three finite portals. Leave the game in bordom. Devolve into an ego junky addicted to abusing other paying customers with their hands tied behind their backs. Or using your obvious talents to inspire as many of the player base to follow your example. But then the shane method does place the club in the worthy hand now dosen't it Grizz....

You were doing fine until you insulted both of our collective intellgence with this inane crap.
You dont want to get your hands dirty with the lesser beings who you have begrudgingly admitted are necessary to making this cluster luge work in their own inadequet manners. But, you are willing to insult them by treating them like dirt offering them a bribe to play by your idea of social engineering. I just simplified the language so the the reading impared could make an informed choice rather than be over whelmed by your engineering style and brillience. Obama got ellected by dassling the uninformed masses with his brillience and command of lieing to them about his concern for thier needs.
For this you are finaly as honest as Moot is in your disdane for them. That being the case, stick to graduate course bridge building projects and let Hitech do the professional wetware engineering. At least he needs and appreciates all of them as equal valued customers using his services. I will venture if you could, like Moot, you would eliminate them from AH in a heart beat if it was possible without killing the game.
Like many engineers I've known over the years. You don't take kindly to your work being critisied. Looks like your epiphiny about the player base in the game from last year was an interim dalliance with the commoners. But, it was a good strategy to soften your image and win hearts and minds before you dropped your master work on them. I think the image of you slaying baby seals enmass with your teeth and bare hands while laughing at their bleeding crys of panic is more true. Shane esque to the end.........after all a leopards spots are skin deep from birth and cannot be changed.
You should have counseled your sycophantic Renfields to play along better with you. They never got into a convincing mode with your epiphinal character. They don't have your patience.

I think you're insulting most of the player base by assuming they're too dumb to fully understand Grizz's proposal and motives, which you're again reading too much into, it's just an idea thrown out to more quickly populate the newer arena. Sounds like you've got a grudge against grad students...

You've taken a lot of effort to personally insult me in this thread (Not sure why), but you have yet to comment on why my idea is good/bad. I have an idea where this hostility spurs from and it has nothing to do with this topic.

One would think you would reach a point that you can harvest just so many baby seals and insult them with how stupid they are before either that which drives you towords your excellence causes you to reach one of three finite portals. Leave the game in bordom. Devolve into an ego junky addicted to abusing other paying customers with their hands tied behind their backs. Or using your obvious talents to inspire as many of the player base to follow your example.
I think he's so awesome he can go through all three of those portals at the same time and each portal sees a whole Grizz rather than a third of Grizz. A revelation has broken upon me...
HENCEFORTH HE SHALL BE KNOWN AS THE TRIUNE GRIZZ!!!!

It's "bustr"....... ;)
Grizz when you express yourself in the previous manner your ultimate goal of increasing everyones fun in the game shines through and is engaging. I don't see you as particularly being attracted to the rigors required to be a lightning rod of positive good will to lead players by example and demenor. Much like current american popular culture though, our current social problems in game are a reflection of our devolution. People need heros not self serving aholes to follow if you want anything resembling a positive response to a personal example. If you could only change human conduct without having to let them touch you and talk to you. Become a man of the people...eeewwwww. They should just be smart enough to see reality shoudn't they....

Wow... Just wow...
I honestly don't think Grizz' idea will accomplish the goal like he thinks it will. I really think Grizz is overestimating the motivation that perks can provide in their current form..
All that aside...
Bustr, I think you need some counseling buddy. Or at least a really good spell checker. If a post can have "crazy eyes", yours does.

If 80% of the population agree does not care but 20% do that's enough to make quite a significant difference. I also wonder if the bbs crowd is is not a very good cross section of the actual aces high population. I would imagine a much higher percentage of players who do not visit these boards may be much more interested in such a thing rather than vets who do not care.

Why not just have a big map for peak times and a smaller map for off hours and stop having blue/orange?

Was bustr doing Dennis Miller?

What I am saying is the side that has these like minded players that enjoy only the base taking aspect of the game and tend to congregate (which can be an entire side at times with only a handful that might not participate AND outnumber the each other team) thus creating this massive base taking horde.
So yes, as of now with an arena with 200, you can end up with 80,60,60. Keep in mind I am not referring to "local" horde, I am referring to a side.
This is why they could care less about "perk building" since it has become all about winning the warz with these extra players and the side they are attacking with "all or none" (having already the element of suprise, radar glitches, extra players) can horde upon a base with that much force.
All they would need to do is change their fighter mode to attack mode and do the same thing they are doing now but getting more perks for it(killing hangers, town, deacking etc.). Offering them something else to do like earn perks will probably "bring more of the same" that they do now, (ie dive in from 20k just to kill radar/ords then auger, or die, everything but fight) except they just get paid more for it and probably encourage more hoarding.
If Hitech implements some sort of a side balancing idea as he has discussed that would equal out the sides a bit, your idea would then have some chance and probably would work out and not be taken advantage of by a hording side, but until then I would say no.
Once something is in place that would even the sides out a bit, I would probably agree with you to a point, with some other stipulations about actually landing to count more heavily in that calculation of earning points.
The rookettes and nitwits see more than 1 bish con they go :O the bish horde is here :rofl
