Late War Arena Caps

[Changeup]

No fire-mission here...just another "fun-time" poll:

Instead of asking who wants to eliminate Late War arena caps, lets ask it differently.

Who feels like Late War Arena Caps are a fun vacuum and would like them to burn in hell?

+1

I understand what HTC is trying to accomplish with the caps, but I also feel bad for the guys on the other side of the earth that have to deal with massive maps with 14 people in it because the other arena with everyone else in it is closed.

With all due respect, it happens nightly...you can't fly with squadmates that are locked in one arena that you have no hope of getting into for about 2 hours.

I've had this happen to me as well.  Having played other games, I suppose it doesn't bother me as much since I usually just try to get my buddies to join me in another server.  Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't.

I don't know how they would fix this while still maintaining 2 arenas.  Are you proposing a "Titanic Tuesday" style structure (I'm not against the idea)?

I have never seen any condition where a room was not available in a matter of minutes.

I have never seen anyone locked in an arena either.

Shuff....I apologize....I inadvertantly used "locked" instead of "Unable to bypass the automatic arena security that prevents a player from entering when numerical player-levels reach a certain point."

I was "locked" OUT.....

Last night was a good example of the time frame of which I speak.  I find that in some cases, just because I haven't witnessed something, doesn't mean it can't/doesn't happen. I, like most, have more fun when I fly with folks I know....I still have some fun with other folks, like you Shuffler, but it isn't a stretch to say that almost everyone in here joined a squad of some kind for this very reason.  For the sake of arena caps, 15 of your buddies are in Orange and you can't go fly with them and for what really?  Maps will work in both arenas. 

Just sayin

Changeup is right...sometimes you cant get in Orange for awhile...Ive been locked out for hours

Yes I am...why not?  Everyone can play and it HELPS solve the international time issues....I said HELPS.

something was messed up last night either caps came in late or a reset.

Logged in at 9pm GMT  (3 hours after caps kick in)   had 250/100    and 50/150.  Had to wait a whole 10-15 minutes for it to become 180/200    105/150

Locked out is different from locked in.  The original comment referred to squaddies being locked into an arena where another guy can't enter.

Sounds like Shuff read the post correctly.  Nobody is locked in an arena - they can leave whenever they want.

While I feel bad that people can't play with their buddies the instant they log on, I tire of all these same whine posts.  But then reading them is better than some of the mind-dulling things I'm supposed to be doing at work.

I agree, it could help.

I think if they were to change it to one arena, there should be a trial period.  I get the feeling that after one month of a single arena, there will be an increase to the horde whines.

HOWEVER:
Some of the best and most fun dog fights I've ever been in have been horde vs. horde.

ImaDot....really?  I mean "drop-your-cell-phone-in-the-urinal", REALLY?  Locked in, locked out....REALLY!!?  I tire of smartazzed responses from trolling, mind-dulled....nevermind...lol.  Besides, this is a POLL, not a whine.  Maybe your work environment is affecting your spirited, critiquing and ability to differentiate between the two.  We have some openings at our company....send me your resume and I will have our HR group look into it for you.

I think we all have learned in the past 4 years that it doesn't need 500 players in a single arena to have "hordes only"... 25-22-8 with both big countries pounding on the small one ("quick! grab bases before people come in to defend!")
