Hi there Everyone.

 

In this latest update to the Arena, we have added the following :

 

1. An additional 30 games are now spawned, for a maximum of 60. The level range for spawning are now much more even.

 

2. We have added two additional buttons for bulk transfer of Arena Tokens into Gold.

 

3. The maximum item level for games is now -10 of the highest level player.

 

4. The Arena Token cost of the Arena Potions have been assessed with player feedback and actioned.

Thanks cows!

If cows missed my post before, could you please consider adding  

 

Entered stat:

• Attack:
• Defense:
• Armor:
• Damage:
• HP:

 

 

To finished tours? 

 

That way it's much easier for players to analyse what they done wrong and create strategy for next tours.

<3 thanks

Thank you for the updates, though I had really hoped you would have taken these 2 posts into considerations when adjusting the level ranges:

 

 

I am going to make 2 seperate posts 1st to explain why a lot of people are on here complaining about the levels of tournaments spawning and 2nd will be a solution.

 

1st There have been a lot of people posting about the new updates and complaining about there being 2 many high level tournaments or 2 many low level tournaments over and over again.

 

I feel the root of this issue is because there are just TOO many different levels that can spawn...1-2500 means your possibly hoping for a specific level to spawn say 55 and have Literately a 1 in 2500 odds of this happening!!! This becomes exponentialy frustrating when you are trying to play the lower levels because sets change so much that you level 55 Set many not be any good at level 56...

 

This also can be exhausting on someone who wants to participate over a large range of tournaments as they need 100's of combat sets to keep up with all the subtle changes over all the levels, and since every single level can spawn it can drive some people with OCD mad....

 

This also can create a huge financial burden on people trying to play the arena. As they either go crazy waiting for their specific level to spawn with such low odds of that happening they will either be forced to quit the arena...OR make huge investments in the arena so they can span across larger ranges and try to play what is spawning... Even then with 2500 different levels there will still be plenty of times the average player does not have much to enter as either the levels spawning could be TOO high or TOO low!!!

 

So to Help alleviate all this stress and hopefully make the arena more feasible and fun for all I have a Solution in my next post

 

2nd Post and a Solution to arena matches Spawning in the "WRONG" ranges in some eyes.

 

I think we need to standardize the levels in which the arena spawns (this idea does stem from what the cows did on day 1 of the arena updates where you knew which levels were going to spawn)

 

While the initial list of 100,500,1000,1500,2000, and 2500 was way to small it gave people the opportunity to prepare and know what levels to expect and enter.

 

 

The cows need to expand on this concept and turn it into 50 tournament levels that can spawn from 1-EOC Lower levels need smaller gaps in levels and they can Expand as they go up. I would suggest the Following levels to spawn:

 

10,20,30,40,50,60,70,80,90,100 (Every 10 levels from 10-100)

 

125,150,175,200,225,250,275,300,325,350,375,400,425,450,475,500 (every 25 levels from 101-500)

 

550,600,650,700,750,800,850,900,950,1000 (every 50 levels from 501-1000)

 

1100,1200,1300,1400,1500,1600,1700,1800,1900,2000,2100,2200,2300, 2400 (every 100 levels from 1001-2400)

 

This gives exactly 50 different tournaments that can spawn and if you want to make it to where someone always has something to enter make it to where if 1 of these 50 start it is automatically re spawned after it is completed.

 

The only thing I would also do to add some variety is have each respawn be random on whether it:

 

-Allows Forges

-Allows Moves

-Allows Epics

 

I feel that having tournaments spawning in those 50 different levels allows everyone in the game to be able to enter the arena at any time if they wish, it also makes it a little simpler for the average player as they know which levels they need to have gear for and prepare for.

Thank you for the updates, though I had really hoped you would have taken these 2 posts into considerations when adjusting the level ranges:

 

I linked these threads to Zorg and he read it and took it into consideration.

Ok, to me it had looked like the community had come together between combining the post above and the idea here: http://forums.hunted...issue-in-arena/

 

There was no negativity about it that I saw, so had hoped that it would be implemented.

 

I think the changes today have helped the arena, but will still leave some of the lower levels frustrated as well as still make the arena a bit overwhelming with the amount of sets you may need to be active in it.

Nobody is forcing you to pay 10 tokens for EW1K...

Why is this a tough decision, pal?  10 toks worth 40k or spend 17K on the same thing?  Why is it even a question?  lol.  spend the 17K of course.

Just looking at what the spread is at this time, it seems to be a big improvement, I think adding the additional spaces was a good idea.

 

   I also like the common sense approach that the items available are listed according cost.

 

   What puzzles me is the cost staying at multiple of 10 k.  It certainly would seem to exclude beginning players (say level 50 and below)  And is causing me to judge very carefully if I want to join a skirmish or not. (And yes, I just did, probably due to the extended board)  This drops me from several a day, to one every couple of weeks.

 

I'll add my my two little copper coins worth  to the others who'd like to see the gold arenas back.  But I get the feeling that this update is part of a work in progress, and is not the final word on the arena.

Please get rid of the Special/Bazaar potions and anything level 175 and below.. They are basically pointless. Put those somewhere or nowhere else

[shindrak]

If there's big profits people complain there are  arena masters dominating it... if there's no profit people complain too

 

What happened to Fun part?
