I have a request that some arena prizes be brought back into the loot!

The following items was removed from the arena as a prize and this have ensured a rise in price that is unafordable to many players new to the arena that really want to get there wins up but just can't afford it!

Dark Spine ~~> Why was this ever removed?
Blue Spine ~~> Need i say more?
Red Spine ~~> Prices are going up and it is not just used in the arena!
Reborn Dragon Ring ~~> Since the introduction of the Ward these items have become very scarce, it use to be a prize can't we see it return as one? this will ensure that it does not go extinct.

Items I don't like as prizes due to the value of them

Lord Valks
Fire Burnishing
Cacus
Triclopse

Maybe we can see a rotation of prizes every two or 3 weeks?
If anyone feels the same or have a bunch of items they would like to see in the arena why not mention it now.. who knows maybe someone out there is listening and we can get a good response and christmas surprise :)

Please do not post in here if you are going to be childish

I agree that the prizes need to be changed more frequently than there are atm, and totally agree, that there are some usless prizes in there , and some of the best ones have been removed, but , HCS has also said that there are gonna be some new arena only sets added in the new year

Instead of changing the prizes, why not just have ALL prizes in the mix at once? old and new ones, this way most prizes won't show up as often as they do

makes sense, people get bored of the same items.

Cacus only sells for 15-30 FSP max, mine only sold for 18 :(

I like this and totally agree... I am frustrated in entering just another lord valks shield or trying to win a tri item, it just does not make it worth the value i have to enter with and the % chance of winning, it's killing the arena all over again...

yep, and bring back all the cheap potion prizes, they were a good testing ground for new setups Prizes i would like to see in the arena are

Blue Spine
Red Spine
Dark Spine
Octo Spine
Reborn Dragon Ring

any item that is required to create an Epic item (IE: inferno sword etc)

cheap entry potion prizes (the old ones)

Vexus pieces or carapace ( why not, all the other se items have been in the arena)

remove pointless items, such as any low lvl level items that arn't reborn

Uh oh... I got ignored... I hope that makes HC up the already outrageous Arena awards...



This all sounds like sour grapes to me, coming from a player with 0 arena wins,

Seing a bigger variety in rewards would be great.

This is a TERRIBLE idea. All you little arena monkeyss are throwing off the value of the items... If they put in new items they wont be worth anything either.. LOWER the value of arena items, the same 20% of people win everytime anyhow...


the item rewards that are being offered now have a low price not only because of the arena but mostly because they are high level items and there isnt enough demand.
i am not sure how the AH will change if the reward will be lower level items but you there is no need to dismiss the idea.

maybe if they made a different system that depends on the demand of the item. meaning, items of no high demand could appear more often but every now and then to have more rare items as a reward

I dont enter arenas... It sounds bitter coming from someone with 83 wins whining about more rewards.


83 - 27 (moves) = 56 rewards... please understan the arena and know 56 rewards will cost you alot to achieve and there must be a bigger reward for it... you have no idea regarding the cost to achieve this in the arena... or maybe you do seeing that you have no wins at all....

uh... some fun here... turn this thread into flame war by suggesting Destroyer items as prizes :lol:

Not that I care about arena now, but yes, arena players deserve some new prizes for all the nerves.. BigGrim was saying something about new exclusive arena items a couple of months ago... :roll:

HAHA the chances of winning the destroyer item in the arena will then be the same as getting a drop from it when you kill it :wink:

Thanks Eaus. NOTHING is worth less than cost to enter. Its a totally backward gold sink that doesn't work.

You have raised your concern and you have given your oppinion... please do not spam my suggestion, give other people a chance to raise their oppinions too :evil:

I will tell you what I am sick of is hearing about the arena. Do we all know it needs a little touch up? Yes. Do the cows know this? Yes. Stop whining/participating in the arena and wait until the cows do something about it. Should there be LE/SE items in the arena absolutely not, unless the cows come out with and LE/SE that drops gurgriss and maximus items. What should arena prizes look like? Gurgriss/maximus, more potions, more fsp tourneys, more recipes, perhaps throw a spine item in there every couple of hours.

In the meantime stop complaining. Its really quite simple to just not participate if you don't want to.

This post is only about the items available in the arena, if you don't want to see SE items in there because you hunt SE's please then just vote no and give this reason, you might be sick of hearing about the arena but surely I might think that many players are not, I am not concerned about any other mechanic or other areas of concern.. this is just about the prizes offered in the arena... so please if you are tired about hearing it then just don't listen to it...

If you would like me to pull examples of threads that have nothing to do with the arena but somehow someone starts complaining about it, I would be more than happy to do so.

And I believe I tackled the issue of prizes...

What should arena prizes look like? Gurgriss/maximus, more potions, more fsp tourneys, more recipes, perhaps throw a spine item in there every couple of hours.

There should not be SE items because it drives down the value of the items for SE hunters and no LE items because it drives down their value. Add some decent recipes only available through the arena add some decent potions only available through the arena and maybe one more arena only set maybe at 250, and I say that not because I am almost 250 but because maximus 400 and gurgriss 100 half is 250. Problem solved.

The PvP arena has been nothing but an exercise in futility for FSP-shy players. The requirement for FF gear spread across a huge spectrum of levels, caters to someone with both deep backpack and a supply of bonus FSPs. The closest I've come to winning was on the first day the PvP arena was released, when I won two rounds against my foes--since then it has been KO'd in the first round for me.

Asking for more or better loot is like asking that rich guy who lives in the mansion whether he wants to ride the Mercedes, Jaguar, or BMW to work. If you ask me, I'd revamp the whole thing and base the cost for entry on the player's number of PvP wins--the fewer wins, the less it costs you to enter, hence those with none or just a few can enter more whereas those with 300 or 150 or 83 or 56 or 27 can fork over more gold--which obviously they have in overabundance--for the privilege of going into a tournament. All aspects of Fallen Sword should be enjoyable to all players, not just those who live in their parent's basement, drag themselves out of bed at noon, and have zero responsibilities.



May I quote one player for you:

well, if you stop whining and start working on WHY you got defeated and HOW to get a better rematch with those same people next time, you might go a little further than the rests. Let your brain works more, and your typing fingers work less :) let me tell you a tale here, I started my arena career when I was level 25, I was so poor that I could only afford to play at tourneys which is +/- 10 levels of my levels. I lost so many, but I kept working on it, and eventually I found my paradise at level 50-65 where I can use my training gears to get some wins at arena. Start building up from the first few great prizes, I managed to increase the range of levels I can join. All my upgrades came from arena profits, and that's only 3 months of playing, so please, do something about it if you lose, not say something. As avvakum said, if you cant handle the pain of 50-100 defeats (not saying finals, since you may hope for some luck next times) in a matter of 1-2days without any acceptable prizes, you better be a casual arena player looking for luck.

The ideia is good...


But, if they add many Arena Itens as prize, soon the price of them will go down too...

Humnmnm they should put as prize " extinct " itens...
Like Reborn Dragon Ring and etc... now we have a lot of Deep Hammer and Shield and Rune of Decay... but after sometime, they will be " extinct " like the others... so would be good add these itens in the Arena...

And what GraceGone sayed is true ! If there are SE itens in the Arena, the price would lower much ! And SEs would be useless, and would have a lowered number of SE Hunters paying well...

It would be a lot more fun for the non-regular winners to have more cheaper tournaments like fsp, potions, recipes, and why not some more common items? This would allow people more to develop/discover their way in the arena what works and what not. It wouldn't make it easier to win, but more people would have a chance.

Oh and please, mind the topic of this poll, it is
"Do you want more arena prizes rotated at a predetermined time?"
And obviously nothing else; I was really amused at the arguments in here, lol. [voted yes]


This is completely correct, any other off topic suggestion, complaint or idea should just be completely ignored :)

it seems the same item over and over, some variety would be good

and i would say more fsp prizes, but that doesnt make sense for hcs


but then again, i never win in the arena anyway, so not a huge thing to me
