bump!

 

...the arena level distribution is now that there are continuously >50% of the arenas <L.250. That can't be the solution neither, or!?

it is going to stay that way until someone listens !!   arena is too expensive for lower level players...arena masters think not..but they are mostly level 1500+..which means they think 300k to 1 million or more in gold spent on arena in a day is chump change..and for some reason they think that low level players should also think of it as chump change...it is not chump change for new players or for new players in  arena...if a new player for example spends 300k in gold to enter approx. 10 tourneys..gets really lucky to win 1 round 3 times ( he would be lucky to do that against the masters) he would get around 18 tokens on average..18 tokens buys you squat..waste of 300k and that person never play arena again...we are not even going to mention the cost of the setup needed to be competitive in arena..they are expensive too..

 

Coupled with the fact that most higher level arena players could care less about tourneys at less than level 200....we have a major slow down in arena..and will always be that way..until someone from cows listens and makes some cheaper arena tourneys for novices or a seperate arena for novices...otherwise nothing will change..new prizes will help for a couple of weeks..but when new players cant win enough tokens to get those prizes they will once again leave arena and never come back...

 

we as arena players need to do whatever we can to encourage new arena players...but no matter how much encouragement we give them...if they dont win enough tokens to get something useful ( and not much useful in arena store that is not 100 tokens) they will quit arena....if they see they are spending 100;s of thousands in gold to get extremly little back in gold or prizes...they will quit...have some cheaper arena tourneys and some where they dont have to go against 6-7 other arena masters in one tourneys and maybe they will stay and try longer...i know some will disagree with me and say they need to learn like everyone else...but we all see where that is getting us -- NOWHERE !!!...time to get a new mindset, help arena..not hurt it

I Think Scripting In The Arena Also Needs To Be Looked At.

completly agree...somehow players get into tourneys without having to be around or online..confuses me..but i know nothing about how scripting works and if it would work in arena..my guess is yes it does work..

If you have reasons to believe someone is breaking the terms of use, you should send a support ticket about it.

Wouldn't surprise me if it was in use here - it's in use in other facets, unfortunately :(

Eddie Izzard : The National Rifle Association say that guns don't kill people, people do. But I think the gun helps, you know ? I think it helps. I think just standing there going "BANG" - that's not going to kill too many people, is it ?

 

I don't mean to sound pessimistic, but it seems that everything I eat lately turns to poo ...

Agreed if any cheating in arena is discovered  ..should be dealt with harshly ..! The only way I thought one could possibly cheat would be to join arena with multis with diff gear and move set ups ... and thats pathetic as it gets ( if in fact it is being done).

 

But in that sense I shouldnt be getting beat by the same person everytime.. I would be getting beat by the multi as well. 

 

Some people are so good you swear they have to have an extra edge ..... but I choose to believe they are just better than me and enjoy the challenge ...  somewhat lol.. No sour grapes here!

However if you are reading this and are cheating I hope you are banned for life from the arena!

12 arenas above 350..48 below 350..maybe there could be more evening out of the arenas per level..as most low level arenas have not been filled in 3 days..where as the higher ones come and go many times per day

Some tournaments in some ranges move slow, but they don't speak for arena in general. Yes it is going slow, but it is not "DEAD" as someone say. I seen players done over 100 wins, and lost even more, these 3 days you are talking about, couldn't have done that with a "DEAD" arena.

Where are you getting at? To get #1 should take long time, no matter how fast arena is. If you could get it in 1 day/week/month/year, that would be too easy.

You have been complaining about arena since you had 1 win bro... and you still playing it :P

 

Its slow sometimes because most of players playing it for profit not for fun ... sadly

 

Arena can't be active all time and never been , It has certain highly active seasons (when they put new stuff in)

it could have been done..if you read my thread- simple solution to level spawning probelm...it is an easy fix and i dont know why they dont implement it..divide arena into 4-6 level ranges..0-500,500-1000,1000-1500-1500-2000, and so on...each level range gets about 10-15 tourneys randomly from within its range..that should make it so that someone from any level range would be able to find something to join.....when 1 fills up and finishes, it gets REPLACED, by a tourney in that range..therefore no level range can blame another level range for being slow to fill..always be 10-15 tourneys in each range...would make all players happy..well most players...please implement something like this...would help a bit on turnover of tourneys

Could we have option/preference type thing to set arena to only be sorted by level. It's a slight pain sometimes to keep pressing the button, click join, have everything refresh/reset and then repeat.

I pointed it out to Hoof that when the arena stuffed up recently and the level spread went outta-whack - he said it would rebalance itself.

 

Doesn't seem to have ;)

 

There's still WAY more under Level 1K than there are over Level 1K

not too even of distribution of the arenas..more than 60% are under level 200...something needs to be done to get it a little more evened out through the levels

We noticed the first time you spoke of this, Mr. Siggs. Maybe instead of complaining, you could back this idea that will solve the "problem" that you have with the arena. Just click here to read the thread!

500+ lvl - join cost 50,000, players 16/16

bad idea..so we lower level players have to play for crumbs, while the higher level players get to play for goodies....really bad idea..
