Hi there everyone.

 

As you may have seen in the roadmap thread, we intend on bringing new items into the Arena in June (roughly).

 

We're curious what you'd like to see. 

 

More potions? What springs to mind buff-wise?

 

Item sets up to EoC? Multiple item sets (I.E. more than two items.).

 

New Epic items?

 

Let us know.

More ladder token potions/buffs(usefull) and inventing resources

[SoraXKairi]

If more potions are made available through updates, please make global pots more useful along with arena updates. Nowadays I see price overly jacked up for overrated buff from other part of playstyle of game. Those items' AH price definitely do not reflect its overall usefulness.

 

Some notable examples are Adept Learner 800 from chest finding, is going for outrageous price whereas Gift Box's 750 justifies for its price. We don't want an easy game but Adept Learner 1000, for example, with right price and limited stock should be made available in game already for a game with history longer than 15 years. Same saying goes with Reckoning 300. This potion is going towards the right direction with limited supply in SE hunting.

 

Arena has had its glorious days and I know the old items winning tourney has its own flaws. Tokens system update makes everything available anytime with the right amount of tokens stocking just like ladders'. Would you please introduce another higher tier of tokens system for arena so everyone is starting out on same ground level? For any epic items in arena possibly be it quest items or any other forms of inventive process. If that is implemented at all but I doubt as if it is welcomed at all. Epics are still to be earned the best with hard effort and sweats through seasonal titans I think.

[Ouiounon]

Glad to see this finally getting some attention 

 

I think the main thing I would like to see is actual item rewards for tournaments instead of just items available only through tokens. The token system is okay but people have hoarded huge amounts of tokens by now that any new items added can instantly be bought in bulk.

 

 

If adding new gear, I'd love to see some higher level sets added. Two piece, three piece I don't mind. If tokens are used for them, maybe make them a higher price though. 100 or 150 tokens per piece would at least give them a little bit of value.

 

Potions-wise, there are definitely a lot of potential uses. Could explore some of the following:

 

- Titan Immobiliser 200 (100/150 tokens)

- Upgraded Enchant Pots (level 175 maybe - 100 tokens each)

- Could do some decently powerful leveling/PvP pots for higher token prices. For example an Librarian 500 / Stalker 400 / Animal Magnetism 450 combo for 500 tokens.

 

Or, on the topic of adding epics, release some new epic potion recipes with ingredients bought for high token prices. 250-500 tokens per piece.

 

 

I'm just plucking numbers out of thin air here but they're just some initial ideas!

[darknin12]

Bring back prize (items/potions) based areas aside from just tokens and gold. 

[werswet]

Hi, what i am thinking about arena update,

 1 . You can completely remove 10/20 tokens potions, no one is using them

 2. Update tokens to gold exchange rate, currently real exchange rate is 100 tokens-5FSP or 100 tokens are 1200000 gold, so 50 Tokens would be exchanged for 600000  gold.

 3. I think current tokens system is ok, no need to play for items, if i can get them trough tokens,

 4. Would be happy to see new sets and new Epic potions and items that can be purchased through tokens

 5. If new potions, they have to be worth, the only potions that are worth now are Brewing master, Overkill, and Light Foot, never took another potion from arena rewards.

[tomjiggy67]

I agree and disagree with several posts, so far.

 

Some notable examples are Adept Learner 800 from chest finding, is going for outrageous price whereas Gift Box's 750 justifies for its price.

I agree, BUT....

We don't want an easy game but Adept Learner 1000, for example, with right price and limited stock should be made available in game already for a game with history longer than 15 years

this is overkill...don't make AL1000. Instead, make Overkill 1500 or make AL800 more available so it drives prices down some. 

 

Do this...

Or, on the topic of adding epics, release some new epic potion recipes with ingredients bought for high token prices. 250-500 tokens per piece.

This has serious merit. Recipes that include both Arena and Ladder components maybe.....

 

Do this....

You can completely remove 10/20 tokens potions, no one is using them

OR bring their levels up to just below what we get in most Global Events, like buff level 450 instead of 500....

 

I disagree with this statement....

If new potions, they have to be worth, the only potions that are worth now are Brewing master, Overkill, and Light Foot, never took another potion from arena rewards

BECAUSE even Overkill 400 is already weaker than what can be obtained thru Global Events. But, if there's still a market for it, I can't argue that much about it.

[werswet]

And if there are New Items for 500 - 1000 tokens, just release tournaments with 200-400 tokens rewards same with gold arenas the max 2 million gold can be upgraded to 10 million gold

[Anton45]

There is no need for this. There is an influx of gold already, and it is so easy to get. I also feel as we should keep rewards for tokens the same. To keep the ones who don't already have a stockpile playing the arena for new items instead of having to purchase them in the AH. It will be a way to bring the arena back to those who want to learn for new rewards.

Back in the day when we used to play for items the area was booming. Now, I do understand the other issue with a few top players controlling the market. The whole token thing made everything extremely accessible and that was both good and bad. Good in the sense that these players no longer had control of the market, bad because prices on everything tanked. That aside, with other area changes completely 'ruined' it for most. Back then arena slots would fill in seconds or minutes depending on what the prize was. Now it takes hours or days. I mean, it has been like that for years which is why I personally lost interest.

[BullsHead]

Would something such as current and reserve Stamina rewards, as well as the usual suspects of Epics and new potions be on the cards? Trying to think of something different, maybe even those as rewards for the arena itself, in small quantities.

I would also say that the 25% rule for guilds should be changed to at least 50%, when you consider the vast majority of active players are confined to the top 10-20 guilds, would probably help with how active the arena as too. There's many occasions I can't join one and it could be waiting for players for hours or even days!

You already have a number of great ideas, don't need my two cents worth.  

[werswet]

And remove FSH feature, to see who has joined arena, some players are waiting to see who has joined arena, joining there as 7 or 8 tournament member, adjusting their set to current arena members

[Ouiounon]

It's handy to know when 25% of the total spots are already taken by your guildmates but yeah I don't really see a need for knowing who has joined the arena already. Although the cows don't manage FSH so

[werswet]

Or just give first members , that joined arena 10% bonus stats

Hi there everyone.

We're curious what you'd like to see. 

~ Grim

 

Unique (only one exists in game) items gained in arena, with very very tiny chance of appearing.  Similar to random chests.  "A fan loves your victory and throws you a <whatever>.  You notice a magical gleam and tuck it under your breastplate".  Or even in defeat!  "You are dumped into the pit with the lions but after finding an escape you wander the tunnels for a long time and find a <whatever>".  

[shindrak]

I'd like to suggest current stamina or reserve stamina reward only the winner wins the reward just like gold rewarding  tourneys.
 

eg 500 reserve stamina reward tourney spawns at the rate of 2m gold tourneys join cost about 300k gold

some smaller rewards tourney 50/100/250 stamina, join cost in gold 50k/75k/150k  spawn rate a bit better for smallest reward.

Could also add Loyalty tokens rewards.
I can see this is the best way to hold and keep Arena real active.

The only potions that came to my mind
Gloat 350 potion at the cost of 100 token 
Immobilize titan 200 at the cost of 150 token

Arterial strike 2000 as an inventable potion  recipe requires varied quest items and resources from the arena that worth about total of 1000 token .
Precision Strike 250 was confirmed by HCs in the past. cost 200 token
Precision Strike - grants an 0.1% increase per point in XP gained when the hit that kills a monster is less than 10% more than what was needed. Rewards precise tuning of gear to monster.
 

I wouldn't encourage killing other aspects like ladder or realm chest or SEs  of potions to make better ones in the Arena shop (sadly reckoning300 was released as SE drop it should have been lvl 250 at max to keep the value of realm chest, HCs need to look around if any suggestions could kill the value of any tradable potion from other aspects ).

and NO to bigger token rewards.

 

finally, look again at this thread regarding guild restriction...

I do not play arena but some ideas:

- new setups (maybe 2-3) for each ladder bracket so we have new setups everywhere

- sets in crystalline and non crystalline

- sets with low stamina/stam gain (they already exist)

- sets like dreadlords lvl 1000: few ressources and 3 different sets (or skull carver with 2) -> more set variants

- maybe to difficult: more flexibility. I see that my new setup needs Ring/Shield so I can create one. Only the bonus / stats are already fixed. So you say 3k stat points for that setup in att/dam or whatever and I can choose what 2 or 3 piece setup I want to create. (Non tradeable)

- maybe an epic breaker setup/buff/enchancement -> in lower ladder + arena the (upgraded) epics are just overpowered

- new potions like SE hunter potion: Super Elite Slayer 120mins + and maybe Four Leaf / Lady Luck / Reckoning...

 

A real problem at arena and ladder: You always see the same setups... because there is no other choice

The token system is okay but people have hoarded huge amounts of tokens by now that any new items added can instantly be bought in bulk.

Yes and yes, its extremely easy to pull in 1000+ tokens per week.  This needs to be kept in mind when pricing high value potions, items, epics, etc.  I would LOVE to see new rewards that really push you to actually save.  Items worth 1000 tokens or more.

 

 1 . You can completely remove 10/20 tokens potions, no one is using them

 5. If new potions, they have to be worth, the only potions that are worth now are Brewing master, Overkill, and Light Foot, never took another potion from arena rewards.

Despite my previous point pushing for higher value exchanges, I actually very frequently use the lower token pots.  I'm far too lazy to wait for FI1000 or EW1000 auctions to end and like the option for instant exchange.  I would actually like MORE options like this, like adding cloak.

 

Hard agree that new potions need to really step it up to compete with current game standards to make them worth exchanging for.  I'm actually more critical on this list and would say that BM300 is the only worthwhile potion for value.  Everything else can be better found elsewhere.

 

Do this...

Or, on the topic of adding epics, release some new epic potion recipes with ingredients bought for high token prices. 250-500 tokens per piece.

This has serious merit. Recipes that include both Arena and Ladder components maybe.....

 

Adding more sets and epics would be awesome.  Arena players love collecting sets and finding new creative ways to mix and match, so this is always a welcomed addition.  I personally am strongly averse to mixing components.  Playing arena should reward you with the capability to complete the reward within the arena.  Most arena players do not also do PVP ladder and I don't see any overlap in the play pattern.  Arena rewards gear and combat move analysis in a balanced field and PVP rewards having access to the most expensive pots lol.

[IVANIDAS]

I like the idea of epics potentially being in the arena. The question is if players have saved up tokens. 

Epic- similar to steamwork/writhing ward. Can there be 4-5 different items worth anywhere from 200-500 each to be able to invent a new epic. I think that would push players to do arena and maybe even benefit the arena masters make a good profit. 
Sets- So far there are only a few sets in arena up to lvl 600. Maybe add a few more (1000, 2000,3000,4000,5000,6000 etc) Some sets can either be a 2 piece upwards to 3/4 item sets. 
Potions- The most popular item in arena is brewing master lvl 300. So can we get some potions that can be in the same popularity as a brewing master like buffs such as super elite slayer, some hunting buffs or maybe throw some pvp buffs which could help the community in general. 

Gold- I saw someone post about adding more quantity of gold for tokens, i like this.
