Title: Excellent idea for arena switch time!
Post by: STEELE on May 20, 2011, 01:26:29 AM
Instead of good ol' AUTO  :rolleyes: giving us a Locking Arena in 5 Minutes, then closing 10 minutes later; how about he gives us a "Arena Will be shutting Down in 30 minutes"
warning, and not open new arenas till 5 minutes before the boot.  That way the players that are still fighting/bombing/trying to RTB can finish what they are doing, and more players can still join the fight until the boot time.
Also the "switch sides to locate the enemy CVs" guys (among others) wont have 15 minutes of unopposed time to pork everything in the new arena, while the rest of us are busy trying to fight or RTB in the about-to-be-shutdown arena.  :aok :cheers:

Sounds great.

Arena shuts down the same time every night.

Buy a watch.
Set an alarm to ring 30 minutes prior.
Plan ahead.
Take responsibility.

That's part of my point. The CV hiders/guys who switch sides as soon as they see where it is, or Immediately up a 30 man horde to be waiting for the boot to happen in the other arena so they can vulch.
Why open a new arena 15 minutes before the other closes? It's like the game Musical chairs: everyone tries to hurry up and find a spot in the "good" arena, and the rest get shut out with nowhere to go but the other arena that only has 10-15 players; so they simply log, which only makes matters worse. OK now you can bring on the  :rofl :aok :huh :lol :D 's, whoever uses the most derrogatory smileoids w1nz!!!!11
