Also, what about FSP instead of gold? So, 1 FSP per 200k gold on what the current rewards are, given as FSP shards, so 1.5k gold entry arena gives 5 FSP shards instead of 10k gold, the 30k entry gives 100 FSP shards instead of 200k gold etc. Basically another gold sink, even if they double the current reward, it would work out better, 200 shards instead of 200k for example. It would also give more incentive for people to play.

Try adding more low-level arenas to the mix. There are many new players that mention it in global chat as well as in my own guild that state there aren't enough arenas for them to join at their low level, unless it is the novice ones that they have maxed. Perhaps also add a tiered level of cost to joining arenas that are proximate your level. That way the high-level players aren't scooping up all the low-level arenas without having to pay the extra cost to do so. Additionally, this would allow low-level characters to join high-level arenas despite the unlikelihood of their winning. It could be made cheaper for them to join, based on the algorithm and get more participation. It's all about tactics after all.

 

As for prizes, I see a lot of good ideas already, but the potions could use some more variety. I would love to see a

BE500 potion available to purchase for tokens for example.  This would not diminish the BE575 that composers make right now, but it would put it within reach for those that focus on this part of the game. I am sure that other examples could be found when looking at that list of potions.

Maybe add in an exchange of PvP tokens for Arena tokens. That way the prizes are separate, but it does add another form of in-game trade that can be controlled by the cows. 

 

 

I believe everyone should be able to participate in every arena, as unlikely as it would be for them to implement it, you should be able to equip gear of any level, just for arena. Would be an 'Equip for arena combat' option or something. I remember being level 300 and maybe having 2-7 arenas a week I could participate in, the lower level ones take so long to fill up. 

Remove the guild member 25% rule. Thanks!

 

I think this rule can't be removed, because if rule is removed, there could be guilds farming arena tokens joining 8 members from same guild

 

I am sure FSH Team will make nice Arena update, surprising all players with much more interesting things, epics and potions so arena is worth for all players to play for valuable rewards, not only for tokens nothing to do with them, and arena wins that count only to move up in top arena winners list

 

They can just change the limit to 50% rather than no limit. I think 25% is too low considering there's guilds with upwards of 100 players in them.

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!

The new Invigorate 1000 potion, Energizing Brew, only has a duration of 60 minutes instead of 720.

 

 

 

 

 

The larger frag stashes are a great idea, I do believe potions should be confined to bronze and silver chests. 1000 loyalty is a lot of days/donated money and to open something for 1000 loyalty, or 55 dots worth of gold and get any type of potion seems a kick in the teeth.

 

Unless you were to implement some 'overpowered' pots as you put it, Teleport 200, Titan Immobiliser, LF 1500, Conserve 800-900(?), Distil 250-300 for example. All the rewards should greatly outweigh the costs of things such as 'loyalty' points, especially as they're such a rarity (as are the chests). At least the bronze and silver can be bought for a reasonable amount of gold.

 

Loyalty stashes also great and would help counter the issue above.

 

Anything to do with Epics is a win, always need more upgradable Epics. If anything to add value to most obsolete Epics/Crystal/SE items!
