Just when I thought arena caps couldn't get any more idiotic...

[CAP1]

HTC proves me wrong. Orange is stuck at 100/100 and has been for at least 20 minutes. Blue is at 117/150. Of course, everyone I want to fly with is in Orange.

What possible purpose does this serve? Can anyone really imagine that this improves the game for anyone?

Trust me, Hitech, I stay *despite* the caps. And that goes for every single player I've taked to about it in the arena.

so?

what is your solution? how would your solution affect gameplay?

[321BAR]

  Well you OBVIOUSLY never talked to me or my squad.Suck it up princess.And grab a bear.

Ummm Doc.   Don't you mean grab Shamus's beer?

Yea...Call that "member" a beer if you wish

"Grab the bear by the ears!"    

Grab the beer by the Tonsils.

Hops never smelled so good....

I killed Kermit in the last scenario.Suck it

Bears, Beer, now Frogs?!!!    

Dont make me call skuzzy on your bellybutton you racked up total pieca storch bait.

"Quick, throw up the Skuzzy Signal.   We've only got seconds!!!!"    

To late...Larry says your flying peacefully and your gonna be banned for showing class. Youve been JV/54th

CAP im still stuck laughing at this uber jack

Eliminate the caps. People who want to fly in a big arena with lots of people will fly in Orange. People who want to fly in a smaller arena with fewer people will fly in Blue. Everybody happy, everybody wins.

Hitech has explained why he split the arenas, but I've never seen any decent explanation for why caps are necessary, nor, to my knowledge, have two LW arenas with no caps ever been tried.

But in any case, there's simply no reason for the less populated arena to be capped at 100/100 while the other one has > 100 people. That just makes no sense under any scheme.

Caps are a model example of a solution that's worse than the problem itself. The horde still rolls on both arenas with the difference that squadmates can't play with their friends anymore and suffer even more from the horde due to having no wingman.

[RTHolmes]

... nor, to my knowledge, have two LW arenas with no caps ever been tried.

it worked that way for about 5 weeks after the WWI arena arrived. must have been a mistake I guess, but it worked just great   then the dynamic caps were switched on again

[DrDea]

Actually......that is kinda silly.

[lulu]

Stop speaking of hordes.

Why?

Because they are part of the game as players that borrowed my times climbing at 15k just for B&Z using, if possible,
zoom function too. Or as players who pick the other ones on the deck.

Hordes is an avoidable part of life as pictards and hotards !

THERE IS ONE WAY ONLY TO REDUCE HORDES FREQUENCY:

targets that can be taken and require just one player !!!

ammo bunkers or hangars are not a such kind of targets.

 but what happens when you get a lot of people in one arena? don't a lot of you guys complain about problems on titanic tuesday?

apparently not, even from your own example.. blue is the place to be. 117 vs 100

it worked if you consider 400+ in one and 20 in the other "working"

what about a nice medium # ?

You understood all that?
 

[RTHolmes]

well since the 400+ chose to be in one arena, and the other 20 chose to be in the other arena, then yes I would say that it was indeed "working."

[VonMessa]

But are they "Winning"?

 

[kvuo75]

it wasn't a real choice, since there was no ~200 arena during that time.  

[RTHolmes]

I'm pretty sure you could have found a couple of times a day when there were exactly 200 in one of the arenas.
