The new arenas now give tokens instead of items, gold and moves. These tokens can be spent in the arena shop.

 

BigGrim will be working with player feedback over the next few days to determine which items need their prices increasing / decreasing. We will also be adding some new items to the shop in the following weeks.

 

Tomorrow I'll be doing a bit more work on the system, changing it so runners up in arenas also get lesser token rewards. I'll also make it so arena games that run for 72 hours and don't fill up are closed and entrants refunded. If you have any other feedback regarding the system please let me know!

hmmm..so we will not be playing for prizes anymore ? just tokens ? am i reading this correctly..?..that was the fun of arena- trying to win the prizes.. i am confused

[MrSiggs]

by reading I would assume they were up and running..but no arenas..does that mean nothing until tomorrow ?

[MrSiggs]

why are there no arenas listed ?

[Zorg]

There are arenas listed now.

Finally some higher equipment level arenas.

One win of level 2500 arena = 96 tokens = 9 items. Somehow that equation does make very little (if at all) sense to me. Also, why high level arenas are rewarded better than low level ones? And these new level caps, I think the old random level tournaments were just good, now people might have to change their expensive gear to create new setups for these new ranges.

i like how clever you hcs stuff are. this new system require less work for you guys to do. systematic.

 

if you ask my opinion, you guys are cleverly lazy.

Also, why high level arenas are rewarded better than low level ones? 

They cost more to enter.

I think there should be some more tiers to the levels - 100, 500 and every 500 levels after that is going to make a lot of arena players mad - especially those who spent a ton on gear. Maybe a few more tiers in the levels would be great - but not like it was before - so that it can be kept a least a little more simple

Are there going to be any Arenas from 101-499?

[clock96]

where are the low level arena ? you kidding me ? I was excited about the new arena but you turned me down, and where are the items ? will all the arena cost a lot of gold ? there should be some under 10k gold I am not that experienced in arena yet to spend 50k+ gold on each arena and loose them

[Leos3000]

I like the changes so far. 1st time I have entered the arena in a year or so. Just glad to have levels near my gear.

[yodamus]

the levels are very bad...i have level 50,55 and 59 setups...now useless, those setups have no chance against level 100 gear....i have level 115,150,180 setups..now useless...i have level 200,245,263 and 279 setups..now useless...those setups cant go against level 500 gear...i have zero viable arena setups now..do you not want me to play in arena anymore?...the old level system was great..otherwise you have eliminated many players from even participating in arena..example- level 50 player in the game that wishes to play arena...has only 1 arena to join now- the level 100 or below..that player has zero chance of winning with level 50 gear against level 100 gear...i used to need many bp slots for arena, not anymore...seems you are hurting your own business by now having players needing less bp slots..since there will be less viable setups.. i hope you understand what i am saying...this is feedback...not ranting..

At level 100 Arena you get 16 tokens for winning. At 500 get 32.1500=64. 2000=80. 2500=96. If a level 100 player wins at the only tier available to them, then they can get 1 item.. However if a level 2100 wins in the highest tier, they can get 9 items... Lower levels should have options such as 60,000 gold cost with a reward of 96 tokens just as the highest tier of Arenas do.. In my opinion, every tier should have the option to obtain each reward.

This was arena update?

[CroMaxim]

This is stupid, only good update was increasing the level of arenas, but summarizing all arenas on 6 arenas. Level 100,500,1000,1500,2000,2500. Ridiculous, and the rewards are just hilarious. How can BM300 or Lib450 cost same as gem of mae which costs few hundreds of fsps % less.

Arena needs to fill up faster....

[Maehdros]

This update will see the Arena reworked. Each arena will now grant arena token rewards that can be exchanged for gold, items and moves in the arena shop. Arena games will be coming back in a few hours once we've finished setting up the shop and new game types.

I've also implemented a small change to the combat system which should mean that attacks that are part of the PVP Ladder will not be Bountyable anymore.

As per above ( from the homepage arena update) , PvP ladder hits are now unbountyable. I do sincerely hope ladder hits no longer count towards the smasher medal. If you haven't tweaked them yet , I highly suggest you do.

 

 

Thankyou.

They cost more to enter.

make them cost the same then. it make no sense higher player get 1000x reward compared to lower. just because you are high level, you should be covered in gold? you gotta be kidding me. why give the richest more and the poor less? wtf
