Server limits bum me out
« on: October 05, 2010, 04:03:28 PM »
I never come to the message boards, so if this is redundant, then so be it.

What gives with LWO and LWB being capped at 100 and 150 respectively?
I grow tired of this.

The issue is arena caps, and it has been discussed extensively.  Do a search for arena caps, just in the last few months, and you'll find lots of information including stuff like:

-Caps are fluid, meaning they are constantly changing
-Caps are linked to each other, if one arena's numbers reaches a certain percent (70%)? Then the other cap will increase.
-HTC does this for game play reasons, though you will find players on both sides of the issue on this one.
-They work most effectively at high volume times, so if you play at a time with less people or at a time where people are generally leaving the arena, you might find yourself in an unfavorable position if the arena you want in is capped.  I believe HTC has tried to help that problem by removing caps after 12:00AM CDT.

See that search bar in the top right corner of your screen? It works no matter how often you visit the BBS. It is one of the forum's best kept secrets.

It's NOT server limits, it's arena limits. The severs are no where near their capacities. The arenas on the other hand hit an unhealthy state around 400. The problem comes in when you have to figure out how to populate two arenas as evenly as possible. So HTC uses an automatically adjusting cap system to build the population in the two arenas evenly.

I understand the 400 unhealthy part but when you have <150 in either arena fights are a bit hard to find depending on the map.


This is why all maps should have a fighter/Tanktown area in the middle for times where no many are on and people can gather there

some of the best fights, biggest missions, and funnest gv's/furballs/buff runs are on Titanic Tuesday when there are 600-800 in a single big arena.  It's sad that they've skipped it tonight...

NONSENSE. Apparently there is no arguing that what is really best for business is a max of 100 or fewer players in LWO and about 12 in LWB, and a lot of players mad about not being able to go where they want to, and logging to do work instead......

THAT is apparently the most fun, and the best for business.

Yep, this was the case for example last night around 9PM finnish time (2PM EST). One arena had something like 120 players and was giving "Arena is full" and the other arena had 16 players. Incredibly irritating.
