After just 2.5 days into the tour, the WW1 arena is already showing over 1,600 kills. Which is almost as much as last tour total (and more than the total of the tour before that). But each time I looked at the login screen, the WW1 arena was shown as empty. I know a couple of guys is using WW1 whenever the Melee arena resets, but this is is quite an anomaly.
So what happened? Had the Melee arena been down for an hour? :headscratch:
-
I noticed there were 15 in there shortly before the start of yesterday's scenario when I logged in for a quick practice. Also noticed it was a Free arena and wondered if that was the reason?
-
Might be the last update HTC changed it to where one is not required to have an account now to create arenas, along with what Flossy posted about the WWI arena is now listed under the Free Tab now....

But it has been free for many months now, and still I never see anyone in there when I check the numbers. So it almost looks like for a short time (when I was not looking :D) almost each & everyone jumped in. The kill numbers are 15 times higher than expected after 2 days.
Just tring to make sure it's not a bug I am seeing :old:

After Friday night's Melee reset, there were 30 people in there.
-
Turns out many people had no idea there were tabs with other arenas in the list. When we moved the "Free" tab to the front a lot of players though the "Melee" arena was down.

That'S quite a spike and kinda explains it. Thank you :salute

Sometimes I wonder if those people have someone to turn the computer on for them... :uhoh :bolt:

The eye is not easily drawn to them. A bigger font or staggered tabs may help.

I logged in several times yesterday even with SMpizza map still up and saw 10-15 players in there yesterday (Saturday), they were veterans of the game, did not see any new names.

I've often thought that and it is exactly why I include clicking on the 'Events' tab in my announcements for special events. :)

You should remove tabs altogether and just list all the arenas in one place. No way to miss anything that way.
Just replace tabs with different colors to signify between free and pay arenas:

There are the added benefits of making the number of choices look larger as well as making the overall population look larger.

stupid me- I was talking about WW1 arena sorry
-
WW1 has a small group where we usually meet on the weekends and have some wicked fights once a few people go in there more people join in the fun. Think I spent 2 hrs in there Friday night before the combat challenge.

Bingo.
This is brilliant right here.
And also I wouldn't show the upper limit (/Max) on the pay arenas. 112/500 makes it look empty.

Weekend WWI Warriors
Every Saturday night 9pm EDT 8 CDT
No vulching, no crying :aok :rock :joystick: :airplane:

I've been in ww1 arena once or twice. It's not bad at all.
-
Yes, it's because people literally didn't see the tabs, and immediately clicked on the MA. I did state this some months ago.
I agree with Caldera on this one.
-

Yep. It doesn't look good to show an arena filled to 20% capacity. If the arena becomes filled, open another. That's a first world problem that can be dealt with later.

We normally get in the WW1 arena Fri and Sat nights around nine PM EST. We try to make it a gentleman's fight. No vulching on take off or landing. We run a common vox of 258 so everyone can talk across the arena.

I stopped flying in WWI because in its current configuration it's impossible to land successfully. For whatever reason the air fields now only give ditches. I tested it with even a simple start flight/exit flight without ever moving and still received a ditch... so I stopped logging in.

Because score and name in lights is so much more important than the fun of flying and fighting?

Sounds like a bug, which should be reported. Then again, I wonder if Patch 5 fixed it?

Not so much a score, but my woman belittles me and says I'm not a real man if I don't land kills and get my name in lights. She says she'll leave me for ghi if I don't get my act together. She says not sounding like Dracula is already one strike against me. :cry

32 kills per hour for the top guys?
