The arenas have now been updated, hopefully addressing the majority of concerns raised on the forums. The following changes have been implemented.

• Runners up will now receive tokens. Second place will receive 50% and joint third place will receive 25% of the reward.
• Max item level is no longer tied to join cost / reward.
• Max item level is now selected at random between 10 and the current top level.
• Games will spawn every 15 minutes up to a maximum of 30.
• Some games that spawn will be 16 player instead of 8, with larger rewards.
• All items are now priced at 20 tokens each, apart from potions which are 40.
• Craftable items purchased from the arena shop will now always be 'Perfect'.
• Items in the arena shop are now sorted by item type.
• Moves in the arena shop now cost 2 tokens each.

We hope that addresses the issues raised, if you have any more feedback we would love to hear it!

yay level randomization

[CroMaxim]

Any arenas up soon?

[xxlooperxx]

EW 1000 should not cost the same as BM 300 or LF 600 etc.... 40 tokens=160,000 gold.. EW can be found in bizarre for 15-20,000 sometimes..

All feedback on item prices is welcome, we may drop the price of some items in coming days. If you believe something is overpriced, don't buy it... hold on to your tokens.

Runner up gets  tokens. 2nd place gets 50% of reward. Aren't the runner up and 2nd place the same person?

When Zorg said runners up he means players who didn't win - ie. the 2nd and 3rd places.

IMO EW 1k should not be 40tokens it should be around 15 tokens 

 

15 tokens = 60K gold and its always at peak for that potion as-well with the FI 1k pot

and berzerk should be way way low around  1 since it seems to be cheaper in AH

Was reading the update notes too quickly. My apologies. Thanks for the clarification.

[weah]

againa not a good update. now i can see in every arena just BM and LF if you undestand me.

[Undjuvion]

have u made it so there is a gap of at least 25 levels between every arena, or can you? so there doesnt become a blockade or a few bad hours if eg ten lvl 108 arenas, four lvl 114 arenas and then sixteen arenas lvl 800 to 840, SO if 30 arenas are active there is at least in a 25 level gap eg around 750 level range for most players to at least try some arenas?

I'm still not sure what the concerns are. HCS gave more games per 15 mins, more level diversity, increased the cost of rewards, and gave some tokens to the 2nd and 3rd place. What's wrong still?

also i think there is no need for berzerk potion  {Bound} at 40 tokens when in ah and PB its beyond lower then that price for 40 tokens

HCS will have the data to review I would think on all of the purchases that will happen in the arena. Once they get some more information in regards to it and run some stats on what is in high demand, they can adjust prices as necessary. I think what they have done is a good start - great work guys. It would be nice to see some higher level arenas spawn only 3 in this last round out of however many. 

[grimnok]

Also, please randomize initial matchups, rather than based on order of entry

[berneanu]

big gz guys - i think the arena fix is perfect now )

[Leos3000]

I think if your going to have every level be randomly generated from 1-2500 there needs to be more tournaments available then 30..

 

60-100 would give more variety and hopefully allow more to participate throughout the day.

 

Personally I would much rather have some consistency to level spawn as every single level just makes it overwhelming for some.

 

Suggestion:

 

From 1-100 have tourneys spawn at 10 level increments (10,20,30,40,50...)

From 101-500 have tourneys spawn at 25 level increments (125,150,175,200,225...)

501-1000 Spawn every 50 levels (550,600,650,700...)

1001-2000 every 100 levels (1,100,1200,1300,1400..)

2001+ every 200 levels(2200,2400,2600...)

 

Gives variety but at the same time gives some sanity on what levels to expect to enter.

 

Fixed the 1000+ ranges

If there is any chance you can get the arena level filter to work again..that would be nice..thanks : )

[ehsan88]

Can please back arena as it was already? tokens are not a good idea. instead of making items worth different ,make rewards items itself. for 2nd person you can give 25% of the item as points, it means if someone reaches final of BM potion 4 times, he can get a BM potion with points he earned

[Vergaz]

Too low prices for the most wanted potions. In a few days everyone will have backpack full with BM 300 etc. And I mean everyone - the one who will not win it on arena will buy it on AH for a very low price.
