lvl 500 is about half way in terms of content in game. Well we have 10 tournaments from level 500+ and 40 tournaments below 500. I understand we need to keep a slighlty higher % toward those below. But honestly the most active arena players are above level 200 (we have 28 tournies below level 200)

forn its all well and good saying these things mate like u guys promised to fix the arena and not just add new items into it.

most of us donate to the game tho some have stopped because of the lack of intrest shown by HCS in the game recently apart from daft things like the potion bazzar ETC.

and actions speak louder than words mate so i look forward to maybe actually playing the game again when HCS provide us with some actions and not just empty promises. :x

I'm getting sick of seeing all of the low level gold arenas clogging up the system.. it's permanently like that.
I'd think about getting a setup to help speed up these arenas if it wasn't for the fact that the low level epics greatly unbalance these arenas.

You know, there's a reason I consider myself retired from the arena.

It's because I got tired of watching it get mucked up so badly.

Well unless you teach me how to PvP I aint got anything else that interests me in the game.

yes slowing down dramactically....nothing seems to get rotated anymore..been the same prizes for weeks now...there are 100's if not 1000's of prizes to chooose from..how hard can it be to rotate them for very small amounts of time, to keep the value of prizes steady..more 8 player tourneys to help arena move faster..and a few more tournies without epics allowed..more players then would enter and things would move faster..hoping one day somebody pays attention to the arena..

The biggest issue inherent with the high level arenas moving so slow is the PRICE.

You have recipes starting from 150k to 212.5k, components ranging from 106k to 231.5k, and no one enters them at that price.

However, i must commend the cows, because now the prices gradually drop, the tournements all eventually fill up

sadly, they tend to fill up at 25-50% of the starting price, and in order to drop that much, they sit around for 3-6 hours or more before starting.

Why cant the cows make the prices like the potion bazaar, where they adjust based on what the last thing sold for.

hey, last clotildes gorget recipe started, with an average entree fee for 89.6k averaged over the 16 joining fees.
start the next one at 89.6k !

personally, i never join anything that costs over 100k anymore, except a few select components that are high value and still fill up fast.
but short of battle seals and icons of styx, nothing at the higher levels ( about 550+, where i play ) nothing is worth it, for those ridiculous entree prices.

i dont know how much of an issue price is in the lower level tournaments, but in the higher level ones, you need to drop them.

we have enough people up here to keep it moving, but the prices are what clog everything up

yes the lower level (1-200) gold arena's are slow to fill ...i think becuase of too many that allow epics..since most lower level players do not have the epics to enter in these, and the epics are too much of an advantage at those levels...nobody wants to enter them...why enter at such a disadvantage..

i have spoke to a few players and they feel HCS are trying to get as much cash as possible before running this game to the ground in time for there new release.

QQ some more LOL

why is it people in the forum regularly say someone is QQing when they are stating their thoughts ....is that not what the forum is for?

Yep, it's died down even more in the last week or so. What surprises me is that Sigma Storm 2 is getting content fairly quickly even though it has a very small player base, yet the arena here gets no attention when it appears to only need a regular but fairly small amount of work to keep it running better.

Ideas below - not much new, but it's good to get people discussing it:

What do people think about having reserve stamina as an arena prize? A lame idea or not? I'd be interested if the entry fee vs prize amount ratio was good enough.

Decent potions as prizes, High level ones that people would actually want ;) This would definitely help.

Appoint a few players to handle rotation of arena prizes, get HCS to quickly verify the changes, then apply the changes.

Have the arena generator check to see what level ranges already have lots of gold or recipe arenas, so no more are created at these ranges. Track how quickly arenas are filling up and create less arenas at the levels that fill up very slowly.

Make it more accessible for more people.. e.g. someone had the idea of separate arenas for people with less wins, although newbies from the guilds with the good gear are still going to clean up.

While new sets like chumanas probably create more activity initially while people compete for the components, they don't help activity in the long term because people who don't have them are at a serious disadvantage and don't want to enter arenas (although they can still win, though possibly not enough for it to be worthwhile). What might help is new legendary monsters which drop sets with high armor that aren't quite as good as the inventable sets or pvp token sets.
The best armor sets in the mid range arenas are ridiculously expensive.

In the past people could choose to enter arenas without epics if they wanted a somewhat fair competition without spending megabucks or joining a guild with good arena gear, but not any more at some ranges.

We are looking at ways to invigorate the arena, and looking at your suggestions. Also dont worry - the game is in no way going to be destroyed by any other new release the company brings out.



can u smell that cause i think i smell more S---E coming from HCS wait for it we will get another msg in a month asking for more ideas on how to fix arena.

Then we will get new items in and HCS will think everything is okay again

As i said before forn a lot of players think you guys are running this game into the ground as u dont think it can go any futher to make money just in time for the release of the new game well i think i will be one who wont even try the new game after the way i have watched this game go

How dead is Arena??

Its so dead it makes the mummies in the egypt pyramides look like vivid sparkling life-forms.

Its so dead there is more action watching Arctis melt than waiting for arena tourneys to fill

How neglected is Arena?

Its so neglected that the junk people toss in the lakes feel very loved

They're on holiday now celendais, try again in a few weeks. Didn't they write a tool to make arena changes easier? If so then I guess it was only used once or twice..
