Right then.
The existing Component Arenas have had their Weights increased. Lemme know if it helps. If not, we might have to increase em a bit more.
Crystalline. Do their weights need dropping slightly?
What's the feedback like for the sets themselves?
So far some of the sets are awesome. Gideons and Nolands have almost immediately become indespensible for winning in the arena. Takeos seems great for leveling (I hear this anyway, not that level myself) Am looking forward to using Torils set after my next hunt. I also hear that the high level players love the Acheron and Colvis sets, so it seems you have even pleased them as well! I will weigh in on other sets later.
One thing that seems to be happening is that because a lot of these new sets are attack sets, that max defense sets are rearing their ugly heads more than ever in the arena. Simply no way to get past them sometimes. I suppose this is all part of the game, but it's getting ever more frustrating because there's almost no way to beat it and still have enough damage to do in an armor set if you happen to run into it.
I feel you need to dramatically decrease the spawn rate of the new crystalline sets and add the first wave recipe components back into the mix, particularly components for Bhaltairs, Ivars, Brices and Ormarrs. Particularly if the new UB200 loyalty potion reward stays in the game. The instant it was introduced Takeos set immediately halved its value, and now it's considerably less.
Others please weigh in with your comments. BG is trying his best to make the arena work well for everyone, in a way that will last more than just a couple of days. It is a big undertaking to get it right, so everyone please give your opinions about all the new sets and what you think needs to be placed into the arena. Now is your chance. He won't be here much after today.
A couple more thoughts: Steamwork Cuirass components should be slowly re introduced into the arena. We also talked about higher gold prize tourneys. Any chance of adding a few of those? I admire the work you've done so far and look forward to your additional tweaks. Thanks again for all the hard work.
