Not just another CAP complaint...

[grumpy37]

Ok this is a question not complaint.  Just logged on and saw the cap for both arenas right now is 400.  150 in orange and 57 in blue.  I would assume then that HiTech feels both arenas can function with up to 400 players in each one so why cant the caps start at 400 and adjust from there?  Dont allow the cap to go up until at least one is full and the other is 85% full?  I find both caps set at 400 with less than 50% population in both arenas contradicts the reason we have been told there is a cap to begin with.


Before I piss anyone off at HTC this is just a question.  Im not trying to pick a fight or sound like another smart mouth....  This topic seems to get rather nasty comments from all sides.

A.  Caps off at Midnight central.  The numbers you refer to are essentially meaningless right now.

B. (The answer to your query)  400/400 in arena A, 50/450 in arena B and you're number 401.

I don't see any addition in there, it's all division and subtraction.


Sorry couldn't resist.


Back to OP

Just read wrongway's post and you should understand why.

This is a "one big arena" thread, which isn't going to happen.

I know. I didn't try to come up with exact numbers. I was just trying to show how things flow with the floating cap against the way things go with the hard cap to give the OP an idea of how his idea would work.

You should just use the same total player numbers in both examples

[Spikes]

Need a pie chart.

Next week, when this topic comes up again, I'll do my utmost to be accurate with my numbers.

You really think it will take this long?  

Need a pie chart.

Actually I made a chart about two years ago in a similar discussion.

All this aside if you really want in an arena you can get it, I've at the most had to log back in and out for 4-5 minutes maximum to wait for the number to drop to let me in.

Caps turn off at 12:00 CST Midnight.

Then turn back on at 12:00 cst noon, which has some European players racing to log on before the clock hits 12:00.

I dont have a cap issue myself.  I pick an arena and play.  What I was saying is the reason HTC gave for the cap in the first place is directly contradicted by setting both at 400.  The whole point of the cap is new subscribers.  They saw a larger retention of new players with the arena caps.  What im saying is if HTC feels that both arenas capped at 400 works why have the floating cap at all.  400 is obviously within their acceptable limit of players per arena so why does it need to be lowered?   Like i said im not complaining about the cap itself, its the reason given for the cap that does not make sense.  Guess it doesnt need to make sense to me, I know im part of the majority.
