before you came back and after the new arena update for token play..we had loads of level 100-500 tourneys...but that stagnated also...very very few new players trying arena from level 100-500, combined with very few high level players joining those levels....so they all floated to the top as you are now seeing with the level 1500+..all the high level players complained about all the lower level tourneys being so slow to fill...so the cows changed it..now many more high level tourneys spawn and now they stagnate at the top...total conclusion- not near enough arena players in total for any of the levels.....that needs to be addressed..

 

yesterday i saw 34 pages of completed tourneys...that is record low in my 4 1/2 years of playing...please cows do something to revive arena..

 

replacement system could fix all of that..and nobody will have to care about what stagnates or fills fast..there would always be same amount of tourneys to join in each level range..which should provide something to join for everyone

 

another issue that is causing there to be so few tourneys to enter - is the total amount of tourneys..before there was 75 tourneys for 1200 levels..now we have around 60 for 2500 levels...making levels spread super thin...making it really hard to find something to join...more tourneys needed...

 

must make it so that players that check in on arena..find something to join..or else they will check in less and less until they dont check in at all...if they find something to join each time they check in ..they will check in more often..join more often..arena speeds up and is more successful...

 

....another thing to fix ...no more 16 player tourneys...you see what it stagnating..16 player tourneys...

 

bigger fix- new arena prizes...3  years since last ones..nothing has any value anymore in arena..so nobody cares to try arena..that is what got most of us addicted to arena- pay 10-50k to enter a tourney to win a prize with a value of 10-50 fsps...now there is nothing worth more than 6 fsps and it takes much more than 10-50k worth of entry fees to win enough tokens to buy them...thrilll of arena is gone...fun of winning something good is gone...cant even win gold anymore...put the fun back in arena with new valuable prizes and arena will livin up again...give everyone tourneys to join at all levels- replacement system..

 

and to your final point..yes those levels 200-500, and i imagine above that.. are great since you can use a setup for a wide range of levels...problem is ..most new arena players do not know this..and will not join a level 280 tourney with a level 200 setup...or level 390 tourney with a level 300 setup...they feel they would have 0 chance..for us veterans of arena..we know this not to be true...as i win with a level 279 setup in level 400 tourneys...this may need to be put into the explaination of arena when players are just starting arena

Hopefully the cows see this. This is spot on, specifically about the thrill of arena being dead. Tokens are so meh, I think tokens should be awarded as a reward for 2nd/3rd place as they are now while the winner gets the money/items. Tokens would make an excellent consolation prize. But I know arena isn't at the top of their concerns since no one wants to play it anymore. A real shame, since it is such a unique game that no one else can offer.

1-100 fills so slowly because most of players dont have all gears for for these levels lots of sets there and the epics makes it harder for poor players... Like krumpers its rare piece since they drop from seasonal titan which make who own this armor who can compete there from 50-100 even till 200...

This is generally the correct answer. Heck even at 500 I say to my self CBF getting sets for <100 arenas because those who do play in there usually don't play anywhere else. They have such a potent level of knowledge for that bracket and that bracket only that it is suicidal to even bother in my opinion.

However I have always, always supported 150-500 arenas. Those have been my stomping grounds since I've started arena. The diversity there is awesome and these tend to fill up the fastest ( or did when expensive items from arena were a thing ).

If the lower levels are allegedly so much slower than 1000< , then why are they clogged up like they have been since I've come back? For seven days I have watched, watched these 4 digit arenas stagnate and sit there on 4-6/8. Make arenas between 101-1000 more prominent and I guarantee things will be mildly faster. I won't be biased, if that sort of change comes through because of this comment I won't even play as if to prove I'm not just trying to benefit from it because it is my area of expertise. But, it has always, always been the biggest flow of traffic

-Cheaper Gear (Save for epics)

-Diversity in items and Defensive/Armor sets

-EASY TO LEARN IN THIS BRACKET

-More players hovering around this level

yes, exactly..could be fixed once and for all- replacement system.- 15-20 tourneys in each of 5 different level ranges - 0-500, 501-1000, 1001-1500, 1501-2000, 2000+ ...with 15 to 20 in each of those ranges at all times...no matter what level you are..you should always find something to join..when tourney fills up..it get replaced by another on in that range...this would solve spawning issue once and for all..never to have to deal with it again..right now arena cant really be played by lower level players..not enough to join and keep them checking in on arena to see if there is something to join...i see same players at all levels..nobody new is trying out arena...needs to be fixed..

Right now the capped amount of arenas is 60. We could provide 10 arenas for up to 6 brackets, logically proving for 1-400 401-800 801-1200 1201-1600 1601-2000 and 2001-2400.

However I would refute that and assert that a vast majority of players are sub level 1,000. This makes anything above 1,000 passively stagnate more than any other brackets. Seems to me making more arenas <1000 so everyone can get arena rolling is the most logical choice. Higher level players can still join and more lower level players can join and get the games running.

Just my two cents however.

agree, low level players are not even able to play arena anymore, by checking the arena page now, i can see only 3 under level 200 tourneys and over 40 lvl 1000+ tourneys. I feel like arena should be more lower level based, since high level players can always still join the lower lvl tourneys where as low level players would stand no chance in a lvl 1000 tourney.

Just my 2 cents, the way arena works right now definitely isn't how its supposed to be. It is just not logical.

I take it you mean the way arena spawns new matches is illogical?
