New patch - 18-April-2014

[kmaea_513619]

What do I think? Well yes it livens up the Arena and opens up a more interesting PvP game. So that's a definite plus. However, it has kinda dropped a dampener on the lower players and increased the reward gap considerably. As a guild we used to offer up rank 1 and 2 every Friday for HP and allow those guys to gain the rewards related to the aforesaid positions. It was popular and it really helped them out. Now that's impossible and many feel annoyed that Tynon has created a huge barrier in their path.

Not everyone likes the idea of a dog eat dog arena. There is the option of dropping out of the Ultimate Arena if it's not for you but the lack of rewards kinda makes that a dilemma. Overall there is a mixed reaction, some like the idea, others preferred the realm division.

I agree with every bit of this post. That being said; if I wanted to be in the same arena with the uber-guild on my server I would be in their realm. I would drop but as stated above do not want the drop in rewards. The constant farming from a guild who dominates the server anyway combined with the higher rewards (and not stakes as what was mostly requested for change) is hardly fun.

At least still give the top ten players access to their individual realm arena play and have ultimate be a additional arena.

You are kidding me....This is the worst patch EVER! No only are we being smeared by the uber guild, but now we live in the same arena with them? IT SUCKS!! Change it back. I was rank 1 in my fire arena..Now I am in uber guilds arena...This i awful and may just be the final straw for me and many others not in the uber guild..This game just is not fun anymore and may of us only come for events now. And BTW maybe no inbox notification about this subject to people that dont use this forum, which most don't. People don't know what is going on this game and 4 just quit over it from my server. S11

Before the top spot in arena paid out 5mil gold. Now there are 5 spots that pay 5mil or more. Before there were only 3 spots that paid out 5mil (1 in each realm). So OVERALL arena pays out better now than before. People should really quit complaining. Once they see the breakdown of the new arena payouts they will realize that they are getting more than before and quit complaining.

Exactly this.
If you are one of the big guns of the server you just got a new playground to compete against the same people who you face in GW, caribbean and wilds. And if youre one of the lower ranked players your arena rewards just went up.

Sometimes it feels like lot of players are afraid of competition. Forming unbeatable uberguilds, wanting max caps on arena attacks and safe sails. Tynon is pretty damn easygoing when it comes to PvP and competition if you go anymore easygoing you end up with single-player game with a chat box.

I am complaining because we dont get in game notifications. I would LOVE to see the break down as well as the rest of my guild..But....of course we cant because we don't get mail; about the changes. You are crazy if you think everyone reads this forum..They don't and we don't know about **** in this game..

Imo, realm arena gets stale when the top 10 in each realm are of the same guild. There's no competition when all your guildmates control all the spots in the top 10. But many people say they want competition, but when its given to them they do nothing but complain.

New ideas for next code update... Only vip12 or higher can use chat system. Must be vip10 or higher to swing sword. No magic if u havent spent at least 4000$ on the game. Anyone under VIP8 will only be allowed 1 lab a month. Anyone VIP10 or higher will be given 500 gems every time they see someone elses arena stake. Anyone under VIP10 will not be allowed to enter arena. Anyone under VIP6 can only play on Tuesdays. And only during months that start with the letter M...

LOL this is great!

It's not messing with Cerb or Baal so I think it's okay.
I'm wondering if this is leading to the merging of servers? I sure hope so.

Tynon just make two arenas, omg you try to make improvements and look what happens, looks like the only way to solve it, those that dont want a war game can play in regular arena, others that want to have fun in others.

OK ... with Ultimate Arena we really need that presto/change for heros!!! It is too hard to battle for arena position while changing forms for banish. Not everyone changes, so this is really bad. Or adjust the time of arena award. But the save option for forms would do it!! Then you can hold form, and prep for banish in one easy step.

Apparently there is some confusion with my post so I will try to explain it with a more concrete example. The situation is that If DE hits WD and wins. This means that DE moves to 9 in the Ultima Arena and WD moves 14 (they swap places). That has the effect of WD moving to 6th in the Realm arena because WE and WF now rank higher (lower number) in the Ultimate Arena.

theres no realm arena on our server just this **** so the **********s we bansihed to another realm.. can ****ing steal our gems again. useless tynon ****wits

I assume that you are on one of the old servers (1-10). You just do not see it because you are in the top 10 of your Realm. Ask some one that is not on the top 10 and they will tell you that it is still there and you are in it.
