Those are good, #3 is gold.

For me it seems the strongest players get easaly stronger, the weaker get it even harder trying to catch up a bit.
I don't know if really everyone has a chance for the last hit, also those who jump in the last minute. None of us knows the code behind it, we only can asume that... If so, it could be adjusted like:
- bossfight is open during 5 mins for joining. If you didn't join within this time... bad luck, no chance on 10M or a top 10 for you.
> if you have to refresh just when the fight starts, you might be to late.
> more players, let's say average players, might also get a chance to a top 10 place when the stronger ones missed the fight.
- you have to be participated a certain amount of rounds, 10 for example to make chance on the final hit. Yes you can jump in late and use instant revive 9 times. As non VIP I don't care this would happen. Those players wasted enough gems to be allowed in participation for the 10M.
Since the patch I am stuck in battle progress screen in all fights, arena, revenge, heroic.
Anyone else with this issue?
Arena progression needs to go back to the way it was. This is bull crap ppl move up in lower ranks as fast as they want to you are taking stakes away from players by doing this i just lost a chance at gems because of your new progression and other things to now we don't get to chose how fast we move up tynon does it for us. What next you going to determine what times we are allowed to play during the day oe evening like parents do get real tynon all this did was help u get to keep more of the prizes because ev1 knows most of the lower ppl are non players so they wont claim the prozes there by fewer gems and other big stakes like cards wont be redeemed. If you wanted to vamp the dang arena you should of made it to where we could return the bottom without changing realms and leaving guild but no you wont do that because again more high stakes and low ones for that matter will be claimed. Your improvements for the most part have worsened the game in playability and in desirability. I should be in the 700s at best on one server and the mid 300s on another but you got me in the 200s b4 i knew what you were doing. Play 1 out of 5 ppl come on you even chose who we play and for what stakes in the five ppl. that isn't fair to the players and you damn well know it but don't care as usual just like evony all you care about is the money not the players.
yea and ev1 that want to who were low when this change went into effect should be put back to the bottom so they can progress as they desire not as tynon desires you to and if they don't want the prizes claimed then they shouldn't have put them there or remove non players from arena (abandoned accts).
Well I like them all. I doubt 1 and 2 would ever be reality. However #3 seems extremely reasonable, fair and makes the game balanced - which btw is what customer support told me these improvements were designed to do.
Here is customer supports own words
"We're working continuously to make the game mechanism much more balanced for all players"
So #3 would definitely do this.
Hello,
Arena needs to be unfixed. There is no movement for me.... I'm 11th, and can see 12, 8, 6, 4, 1... i can beat 11th, but the ones i see in front of me are 1mil+ over me, but yet there are 10 & 9 i cant see that are less then me and i have beat them before but cant see them to attack. so I have to just sit there please fix.
~Nick!~
Light Realm
OK THIS NEEDS EXPLAINED PLEASE
A guild mate who was 5 in the arena was attacked by 6th place and lost and is now ranked 1115 in arena
That's massive rewards lost for hard work. How is that a more fair and balanced game?
How does someone drop 1110 ranks in arena?
I was attacked this morning in the arena by a player from another realm. Im assuming this is a glitch tied to the fix yesterday.
Also it seems we are no longer moving ranks. People have streaks and hit higher ranks but are stuck below in their original rank. Dramatic patch guys. Hope this will be reversed and fixed soon!
about the baal and cerberus patch from yesterday it really changed nothing other than now the players that can do over 500k damage no longer has to sit and wait they just have to attack since most players cant do that much damage. wtg on ensuring some of the newer players can not get last hit . i really enjoyed watching the same player get last hit yesterday on both events and on the first event today . so i say WAY TO GO in making the game even more lop sided and leaning toward the older players great job DEV
Here is a thought if you have time between patches that mess the game up perhaps you could create a patch that would allow you to block foul mouthed players for good. having to put up with players everytime i log in telling others to suck body parts and to go have sex with themselves is really annoying. i should not have to read this daily just because that player is a higher level vip than myself should not give them the right to use that form of language in the chat. either ma a permanent block or move the tynon announcements to the guild chats. one of the T.O.S says that sort of stuff is not allowed but there are screen names called lonnnngdick ,girlwouldfuc^ and i even saw a guild called FUC- so much for the T.O.S if the rules can not be enforced then why have them. it is one thing to not be able to have some check for multi accounts but when someone can create a guild called that last one it is poor security. on the sites behalf.
I noticed that when in Aerie using auto navigation if I go to Arena or Carribean Pirates I stop moving this is new since last patch is this a glitch that needs to be fixed or feature you did not mention?
Hope you guys are reporting those bugs/glitches to billing support.
Yes, i make reports of all bugs and glitches I encounter. And get the same "We are aware of this issue and are working to fix it as quickly as we can" form response from Stanley.
Since this new patch, the last hits in Baal and Cerb are still going to the same people. Nothing has changed.
More and more dc's in beginning and middle of Baal and Cerb, as well as Guild Wars and Lady G. Multiple dc's for me today during Baal just before attack making me lose hits and drop down list.not happy bout that.
Lady G failed to spawn first time for me last night (looked EVERYWHERE) and I know all the spawn points. She spawned somewhere different for many guildies, making it tough for people to get decent credits from the event. And she keeps doing the "disappear after stories and then reappear" routine. Plus the spawns are not on server time still... halfway between computer time and server time.
Having to go to portal to quest is annoying, but not such a big deal. However the new world map sucks.
Had 2 dc's during rune-ing and lost runes. And having runes or armor taken off heroes after refreshing without me doing anything has caused some issues. Often it will not allow you to re-equip and takes multiple refreshes to get it to work and get back to full power.
The new patch seems like a new even bigger hole. The only reason I have not left yet is because I have spent money on the game. But many of our former top players in this realm and others have quit playing. Server is becoming a ghost town very quickly.
And waiting to get the usual form replies to my latest reports.
Arena is a MESS. This did nothing to level things out whatsoever. Now we have a normally 25th position player with 2mpower seeing the #1 position of 6-14m player. Great!!! and 6th place, and 21st place and 18th place...how on earth are they supposed to challenge them and move up the ladder? Was mentioned before about arena daily reward.. well ya get stuck now.... makes NO sense at all. Put arena back as it was.
The arena rank progression needed to be left alone. Now instead of being able to have a long run win streak it automatically jumps your numerous places ahead even if you want to go one at a time. If you want players who want to move up rapidly to be able to do so, put up 10 or more slots for them to fight for instead of five. But atleast put it back the way it was for those of us wanting a high number win streak. Windwalker
why i cant enter the game,, it said load world failed please try to refresh, i did it many time but nothing happen, i still cant enter the game
What do you consider to be "low ranks" in the arena? Besides all the massive problems this is causing people who want large streaks, go for 1k gem/leader stakes, or want to take their time moving up, it's also making the arena essentially unplayable at the very high levels. Unless you actually consider top 10 to be "low ranks" in the arena this newest change has broken the system entirely.
I'm rank 5 or 6 in the arena in my realm, depending on the day. Overnight I was dropped to 9 because the top player dropped ranks on purpose to steal treasure chests to get materials for his weapon plans (which he can't get any other way because you haven't gotten that far in making your game). Before this patch I would've been perfectly fine with this, I can beat those below me on a consistent basis and should be able to take my spot back.
For reference I'm just over 2m power, ranks 1-4 are all 2.3m or above and ranks 1-3 are completely impossible for me to beat with 4 being extremely RNG dependent. At rank 9 these are the places I can currently see to attack: 1, 2, 3, 7, 8 Ranks 7 and 8 are those people normally fighting with me for spots 5 and 6, both around 2m power. At rank 5 and 6 currently are two players with 1.2m power who can easily be beaten by anyone else in the top 10, however NONE of us can actually see them or attack them. This is especially important because of the large rank 5 rewards spike, normally a well contested spot, is now locked in because nobody can attack that person.
This patch has utterly broken the arena for not just those at lower ranks but also those at higher ones and NEEDS to be reverted within the next few days, not the next scheduled content update patch.
On a more positive note at least the Cerb/Baal change lessened the absurd amounts of positive feedback loops within the game, so props for that.
I hear you guys concerns about the arena changes and I'll be discussing them with the devs on Monday. I'm not promising anything will be changed (since I'm the low man on the totem pole) but I'll let you know the outcome of that discussion.
I don't mind the new Realm Boss patch. It has given more people opportunity to get the last hit. It obviously needs some finishing up though.. as anyone with 100 morale Calvin can get more than one hit in with his Willbreaker. However, the strong don't get exponentially stronger, while the weak die down, so I'm okay with this patch.
The world map patch is cool, but the navigation to portal is tedious. I can live with this patch too.. I guess.
Arena progression patch is absurd though.. I'm not sure where the idea to come up with this was, but it seems to hinder everyone more than provide any positive results. This one is the one I would like to have fixed, as it's affecting my game. Please change this!
Sorry but this isnt quite correct. If your on a quest boss, die, go back to aerie, then click battle, you get the quest boss choices, which on fire lord ignis, takes you to teh wrong place on the map, then teleports you to his area.
This map change is absurd and annoying and needs to go away. It is a wast of time
So stupid. Made a realm jump to steal the announced 1000 Gems in arena yesterday. Got to rank 517 and couldn't SEE anything below rank 509. I needed to hit 511. Stupid patch is stupid
Arena keeps giving more and more bugs. I was shared 1 place yesterday with someone. The one on first has left realm but is still shown in arena ranking(now on 3). Number 7 is an empty slot. Number 6 can't attack number 5. Number 260 can't go up in ranks, it keeps saying he looted the treasure but rank remains. The number 9 dropped to number 1131.....
I used to also get the 10mil from cerebus and then i would let guild members get it now you completely ruin the order of how we get the 10m nice going Tynon. Thanks a lot for ruining cerb and baal for my realm. :mad:
told by sinc to add this to patch notes... also posted to the thread arena no heros or whatver: I moved from water realm to fire relam .... and could only see the water realm arena, until i won a challenge and then it moved me from 7th place water realm to 7th place fire realm... now there are two people at 7th place fire realm.. my friend from waterrealm got my fire realm arena level (1277) in waterrealm.... something is really wrong.
I notice in other threads about arena problems the moderators are saying they are aware and looking into this.
Patience is a virtue so I will try and gather some whilst keeping the thought they are doing the best they can to fix it asap.
grr why did u guys have to change the ending of the bosses was liking the 10 mill reward at the end
It's called spreading the wealth dude. Get over yourself and deal with it. I LIKE the WB ending. Got the 10000K reward for last hit twice now, instead of the usual top ranked player always getting it.
Now, the constant dc's during WB, the arena glitches and ranking issues and 10 failure to sync with sever errors i get every day I can do without. Hopefully they are working on that right now, which may explain the seemingly system wide server outage. And hopefully they get the servers back up in time for Cerberus on server 17. XD
Ok this patch seems to have a few more glitches. Ive had 10 gems pop up around 3 or 4 times since then and everytime i dont get the gems from it. I click them and they just go away. Its starting to really bug me that i cant even get those few gems from arena.
Really need to fix the failed boost taking the credits/gems and not giving you the boost. make it easier and make it like a buy style option and let u pick how high you want to boost. It be nice if something was done ive lost alot of credits and gems this way and im sure others have also
Hey dev do you read these comments ?
have you not seen the complaints about the arena?
Some players are not in a hurry to reach the top of the leaders board so how about changing the first spot back to where you will only move up one space. the way it is now is just dumb. you announce on the world speaker when someone has the leaders card or 1,000 gems then you set the game up so everyone that would switch realms before now will not. sort of dumb since you charge 100 gems after the first switch. why would a player switch realms now when they know they will just jump over the player with the item.
smart move cut off your nose to spite your face.
TO BAD THE DEVELOPERS WILL NOT LISTEN TO THE PLAYERS THAT PLAY THE GAME ON WAYS TO IMPROVE THE GAME AND HOW TO RETAIN PLAYERS
LIKE SPEAKERS A WASTE OF SPACE ALL THE SPEAKERS DO IS ALLOW PLAYERS THAT WISH TO CAUSE A LAG ON OTHER TO POST MORE THAN 4-5 TIMES WITH THEM
I REALLY LIKE SEEING IN THE SPEAKER
WOULD ANYONE LIKE TO HAVE SEX WITH ME
IF SO MEAT ME OVER BY THE CASTLES BACKDOOR
OF COURSE MY FAVORITES IS STILL
THESE SPEAKERS SUX
OR
1

10
IT IS NICE KNOWING THAT THE KIDS UNDER 13 CAN AT LEAST COUNT THAT HIGH
GET RID OF THE SPEAKERS AND PUT 1-5 STAMINA IN THEIR PLACE
SO HERE IS A THOUGHT HOW ABOUT GETTING OFF YOUR HIGH HORSE AND TRY AND LISTEN TO THE PLAYER THAT PLAY THE GAME STOP MAKING CHANGES THAT MAKE THE GAME WORSE AND MAYBE JUST MAYBE THERE WOULD NOT BE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF ACCOUNTS THAT ARE INACTIVE NOT JUST THE NON PAYING PLAYTER BUT PLAYERS THAT ACTUALLY HAVE PAID TO PLAY THEN SEE A STUPID
PATCH ADDED THAT MAKES THE GAME EVEN WORSE
BTW here is a thought that may actually work in your favor but i am sure like most suggestions you will over look it since you did not come up with it , but i am going to post it any way.
Right now the game is set toward paying players and that is great many player pay to pay the game but some p[layers can not afford to spend hundreds of dollars a week on a game but have spent a little.
I know i have spent some when i can but the game has nothing to do with skill now it is all about who can spend the most and to be honest its is getting to the point that it is no longer fun when a new server is opened and before the 7 day beginners period is over you have players that are over 800k power just because they have the cash to waste ( or in some cases have used their credit cards then disputed the charge ) even if you block that account you have lost money because players like myself get tired of it and quit paying to play any more. so my thought is this.
open one server that would not allow any vips in it , but the only way you can enter it is if you have upgraded at to at least vip 1 on one of the other servers. this woiuld let those of us that would like to play the game as a challenge against players to see who is the best player and not who has the biggest bank account. you would be surprised to find out that some players may pay the one time just to get away from the player that over invest just so they can bully all the other players. but hey that is up to you. do as you will but trust me if the non playing members stop then the paying players will soon follow because they will have no one to bully other than each other and sooner or later those that have less money will stop and then the only players that will be their is the BOTS
THAT WOULD BE BECAUSE THE PLAYER YOU WON THEM FROM ARE LEVEL 3 OR HIGHER VIP AND THEY HAVE AUTO COLLECT.
so the items that you win from them you do not get because the auto collect over rides your clicking on the item,
i know pretty lame that you cant actually collect a item you won but hey that the way the program is written.
you know those that have cash will always take advantage of those without .
Thats not true. If you beat someone in the arena you get the rewards no matter what vip level they are. If you are under vip3 level you have to manually claim them, if you are over vip3 level your computer has to be signed into game to receive rewards. Gems are the only item you only get half of no matter the vip level.
It does not sound like the original poster is talking about taking gems but collecting his own gem rewards though.
We are listening to you and all of our players. However, listening does not mean doing every single thing that every player demands. That is no way to develop a game or run a company. I really like your suggestion about the first available portrait only advancing you one rung on the ladder.
lol, all the people complaining are the ones that managed to 'time' thier last attack to 'rob' everyone else f the last hit.... GREAT work designers, this gives everyone a fair chance at last hit. And as for the 'ragers' well sucks to be you :-)
The new patch said that all stars gems cost would be refunded on Saturday! Now its Saturday and I see my gems are the same and I have 34 new medals that I do not need now for stars. I needed my gems back . You really did not make it clear that we would get stars instead of out spent gems back. So now on a server where I can not buy any gems I have lost some much needed gems that I was told in an email patch note that I would get back. WOW really.
Ken
I really love what you are all going to be adding to the game. But could it be possible to add one other thing. Something like a With in Guild Auction or at least exchange unusable items with in the Guild. In that way those of us that are moving along in the game can help those that have just started or are having a difficult time getting items. I am talking about like extra equipment plans, materials. Things like that. I would be a win-win for those in a guild. One gets what they need and the other gets either coins, credits or even gems.Which in turn they would spend in lets say the Fair.
