Hi there everyone.

 

The duration between Arena Tournament rounds has now been dropped from 10 minutes to 5. We hope you like the update.

Dear Grim,

I am sad. Many arena players are sad too.

For more than a decade the Arena has been our reason for logging in to Fallen Sword. But the lake is dry and the fish are dying.

Changing the waiting time from 10 minutes to 5 minutes between rounds in a tournament, is like giving a grizzly bear 2 sardines in stead of 1, while a grizzly bear eats salmon. If the problem is in the database, please don't compromise the player experience by taking the easiest programming route. 

Please listen to Pointyhair, because he speaks both your language on database stuff and our language of the FS addicts.

Please listen to Shindrak, because he has made the Arena his PhD. Shindrak is the Magnus Carlsen of the FS Arena. The chess community listens to Magnus Carlsen. The FS community listens to Shindrak.

At the minimum, what the community really wants to hear is that HCS is working on bringing back the smoother experience of the Arena with its varied level spawns and its quick and easy tournament results. Even if this means as "a long term goal".

Sardines are for stray cats who haven't tasted salmon.

We are grizzly bears. Rrrrawwr. 

Topic: Viewing Completed Arena Tournaments. (Actions/PvP/Arena/View Completed Tournaments): My suggestion: To sort completed tournaments from recently ended to later ended. Currently it feels as though it is sorted by spawn arrival time. To support its true purpose of helping players study arena tournaments, it seems logical and more fruitful to sort in order of completion, from recent on the top of the list, to older ones descending. Preferably 25 tournaments per page, in stead of the current 5 tourneys and 46 pages. I don't know much about code, but this seems like a very doable adjustment to make for the active community. Thank you for listening. D. 

This is a very reasonable proposal:

Perhaps a scaling pvp range based on your level. Glad to see some kind of love go there. An update to ladder potions would be nice as well. I know there's so many Le that need to be created so not going to bother asking for that. Cheers!
