another cap idea on weekends
« on: November 22, 2010, 10:12:04 PM »
what if there was just one large late war arena with a large map (that the players could vote for when they logged in)that lasted from friday night to monday morning(trying to account the european folks) that had say a 1000 cap limit or so and get rid of TT i see no point in it on a tuesday. Just a little thought because looking at the new cap thing it looks like it is going crazy to me. Im not sure on the weekdays though ill have to do more studying. thanks, RedTail

arenas were split to due to unhealthy conditions in a single large arena. Why would they go back?

because the map affects what arena the player goes in, but if the player votes for a certain arena that they like and so does everyone else then there would be more fights and more action

HTC has deemed it unhealthy to run arenas with more than 400-450 people in them. This why we have the split arena and caps. Just because "everyone" votes on a map it will not cure the unhealthy conditions. One arena will no longer work for HTC period!

As for the new system of turning on and off arenas, you really can't use last weekend as a yard stick. First off it was the first weekend for the change and there was a glitch in the setup. 2nd it's a work in progress. HTC has said they may tweak things as they see how it goes.

Give it a bit of time before you start yelling "THE SKY IS FALLING!"  :P
