Yeah my squaddies are saying there's close to 200 in orange but its locked at 100/100? Fix this toejam.

Ok so the numbers have dropped a bit.I am just not really understanding.Have they changed the cap system?

your guess is as good as mine. At first i was wondering why it wouldnt let me in the arena with the least amount of players. then some squaddies told me there was 153 in orange, not 100

Excessive whining broke the cap system!

Thank you HTC :salute :salute

Prime time U.S. the caps are 300 and 400 with @ 175-200 and 250-300 people in each arena.
Effectively there are no caps until the overall numbers drop, I guess.
How many people were showing in the open arena? More than 100?
:headscratch:

There seems to be a glitch that sometimes causes Orange to show as 100/100 even though there are actually more people than that in the arena. Earlier tonight a squaddie was trying to get into Orange which showed as 100/100 from the Lobby while Blue was something like 130/200, but I was in Orange and there were actually 153 people in it.

When i got in it said
Orange:100/100
Blue:123/200
I was being told that Orange had well over 100 ppl while the text was showing only 100 in Orange must have been a glitch or a bug its fine now Orange and Blue both open
-
maybe it's a hitech experiment. :noid

It's not a glitch.
Arenas now show the max when then are full instead of the overage.

Bad move. Put it back the way it was, please.
The problem with this game, to the extent there even is one, is NOT that the arena caps are not strict or annoying enough. Trust me.

I've seen the same thing a few nights now in the last week. I thought that maybe there was an arena reset. till I got in last night and 5 min later the arena was reset LOL

Don't put it back.
Why do people think it's important or a good idea to see 153/100 or even 101/100? What's wrong with showing the arena is full by showing the number maxxed out? Oh yeah, that's right...then they know if the try to enter the capped arena every 2 seconds for 5 minutes they might get in, instead of just going to the open arena for a couple of sorties before trying the other arena again.
I also see fewer epic CAP whines about an arena showing 150/150 versus it showing 178/150.

Oh. Im guessing that perhaps this is to quell sme of the complaints when we see numbers like 275/150 (as an example only)
All we need know is the arena is full. How much over it is is irrelevant?

Give it time. They'll be back

Yeah, but at least they won't whine about "how the *bleep* can the *bleeping* arena have more people than the *bleeping* limit??!!!"
:D

And what's wrong with doing that?
Anyway, it will also tell the player whether he should go to the other arena for a couple of sorties, or a couple of hours.

So just ignore the whines.

No wonder the other night when I was trying to get into orange with my squad and it was at 200/200 I couldn't get in. Why is it advantageous to change the system to show only the max?
-
yeah that makes sense. wtf? :headscratch:
-
Pro: Good idea, a "We're full and Closed" sign is better than a "We're full and Closed, but 15 people got lucky and you didn't".
Con: But now how am I going to estimate my wait or guage when a good time to refresh the server list might be if say I'm waiting to get into a capped arena, not knowing if it's at 101/100 or 154/100?...
This concerns me as it may be a source of generating additional frustration against the CAP system rather than intending to lessen it.
-
Oh very good point...
-
just play in the other arena? OMG WHAT???!?!?!
I for one welcome the change (pretty much like not showing arena #'s at all, which I would also find acceptable)

^^^^^^^
This.

See I have no issues with playing in the other arena or caps, but if the fights are stale in blue, then I'd be curious if I need to find something to do for 5min or 50min.
-
Instead of numbers the open arena should say Special Elite Arena and the closed arena should say Loser Arena. :devil

as this should further help balance the arenas, I dont see how fights would be stale in either arena.
