this has been happening all day, you think perhaps you can losen the caps a little more than this? will allowing a couple more players in blue really turn it into a cesspool? its been frustratring getting discoed and having to come back to this all day.

Give a guy an inch and he'll want a mile.
However I do think that if a disco happens or something, the server could somehow reserve your spot or remember your IP address for say 5 minutes to allow you to log back in? This could also help for Special events.
-
what the problem there? seems to me that Hitech has done something, for every time I log in the numbers seem to be very evenly spaced between the two arenas :headscratch:
-
well when did it happened? little warning would've been nice. most likely sombody fell asleep this is 10 min later. this will be the end of the squads since they wont be able to switch to play with their squadies.

Once what.... 31 more people enter Orange it will open more room in Blue. Help out the "cause" and go fly in Orange for a bit until room opens up in Blue.
-
I did been doing it all day. but what's the point of having a squad if i cant play with them and if they switch then we are royally screwed (excuse me ht) since we wont be able to play together in either arena.

What makes you think you'd be one of the 'couple more' players?
-
you mean to tell me that 111 players logged in 10 minutes while i was posting the pictures here?
my point is something was really wrong today and I wish ah will really look into it. too many times we will try to get into an arena and it will be locked then 5 or 10 minutes later there will be 100 more.
btw the pictures were using my phone. if your only complain is the quality sorry my phone will load to photobucket in about 2 seconds.

That usually happens if you wait a few min. The caps never stopped me from entering an arena.

Looks to be plenty of room for you and your squadmates in green, purple, orange, WWI, AvA, TA, and DA.

The arena doesn't show the number over the cap any more. Now it just shows the cap number when it's full.
-
Why can't we just have a que?
so instead of it saying 'arena is full etc' you get put into a que
so for example it would say 'Arena Full, qued xx/xx'
it will make getting into a full arena easy mode

Oh noes...only room for 95 people in Orange. Damn, my squad has 96 people. Blue is full so I MUST go to Blue - I gonna quit because of this.
-
Seriously? Why does everyone NEED TO BE IN THE FULL ARENA?
-
What happened is simple, the caps are currently triggered at 70% so once orange hit 210 the cap increased.
The force is so strong pulling people to the bigger arena that once 210 is hit , it no longer really grows and people continue in the blue.
One person leaves and the cap goes down on blue.

No, when the orange arena hit 205, it also lowered the caps on the blue arena, which only shows maximum amount of pilots... i.e. 200/200, even though 300 might have been in blue at the time, the MENU showed 200/200. When Orange hit 215, it increased the limit on blue as well, so it showed the full amount of pilots in there, because it was below the maximum allowed in that server at the time.

Lemmings, man...lemmings. It doesn't matter what arena is full- THAT'S the one they HAVE to get into. :lol
This made even more absurd when the open arena has numbers +/- 10 of the full one.

not embarrased you ht, but the last picture was taken about 5 minutes after the second. all picutes were taken withing 15 min of each other.so over one hundred people came out of nowhere and joined the blue arena and the blue arena only? I bet next months due that there's a bug in the system where it doesnt report the true number of players. (not all the time, but sometimes). I shouldda reported this is a bug instead of manking it a joke, but seriously i tried for over 1/2 an hour to enter. not just because the orange map in arena sucks, but more because i was curious about why blue kept at 200. I have noticed this several times, where there's only a few people in one arena and all of a sudden about a zillion people show up. and it's not because some special event ended.

was my dream to join ah where i can play with a few other players on empty arenas while everybody else is having fun with hundreds of people.

When was 205 people "empty"?
Are we spoiled or jaded?

100 players didn't come out of nowhere.
the cap increased so blue wasn't full anymore and was showing the true total
It's not a glitch.
Arenas now show the max when then are full instead of the overage.

thank you
BFBC2 have done it and I think it's an amzing idea, kills the whining and the problem at the same time
-
Let me see if I understand this...
You cannot get into the full arena, so come here and whine about it while you wait, but all of a sudden would have no problem waiting because now you're in a queue to get in? Anyone else see the humor here?

I think the point is so you could be in line to get in rather than randomly refreshing and trying to get in by chance.

I realize that, but my point is they would be willing to wait in a queue as opposed to continuously trying to get into the full arena (and still waiting to get in), when they could just go into the open arena and actually play.
-
My goal is to have both arenas open at all times along with both arenas being in a playable state. With the latest changes I believe we are getting closer to that goal.
The queue idea actually would worsen the wait. I believe more people would go in queue vs trying , and then going to the other arena.
This would have the effect of keeping the cap down for a longer period of time and hence be further from my goal of minimizing the arena caped times.

Although I would think it impossible to forever quench the wine, with the good cheese, I do think that if one arena had a small map (always) and the other had a large map (always), much of the debate would disappear.

I was just repeating something I read about the map.
My only issue with any maps is my computer doesn't like some of them. Frame rates in the low teens to single digits and using too much CPU. Memory leaks?
My point was, why not play the game with the other 205 people?
