New patch - 18-April-2014

[Rockstar]

The fact that a mod accepts Heaven's Palace as being "rigged", and needs "rigging" shows that something was being abused and exploited.

True.

Except there are exceptions as the mount system was only introduced a few weeks ago into this game and has not reached steady state in game maturity. In fact what it seems like is a "not so well thought out" system being further corrected. In which case they need to provide a remediation path for players who invested gems to the mounts.

Otherwise it is a throw away investment for the person who spent a lot to get the top mount up and they are then left with no choice but to abandon the money already invested which is not wise for Tynon to do from both marketing and game trust perspective with the players. Bottom line, you don't screw your top customer and need to make it right.

I agree with you. A "transfer" window for mounts similar to the Transfer Heroes feature should happen, where mount xp and stars should be made available for transfer, with the same rules and limitations.

But... if there will always be new mounts, shouldn't we wait for the newest? It takes way too long to gather up a billion or two coins.

with that thinking you will never have a mount... have fun waiting forever

Basically won't have a mount above dragon :/
Which is why I want the mount-trade in or transfer :P

A trade-in might be good. Currently in our realm we're sold out of bears and dragons with 1 rhino remaining. So if you wanted to upgrade from a bear or rhino it's difficult or too late. Trading it in for an upgrade might be the solution...someone else gets a better mount as you upgrade too.

I remember a long time ago Morgan was against Heaven Palace, "rigging."
But I am sure we can still rig it now, just takes more work than before.
Have the top 3-4 in each realm power down in regular arena then have lower players take their places and see if it works. Then next week, make adjustments as necessary.

Also, the ultimate arena does not affect anyone who was not top 10 in realm arena. And the rewards at rank 5 in ultimate arena are equal to rank 1 in the old realm arena... so I don't see what the problem is.

Never against it, was worried it might have been against the ToS. However, it still might be (albeit everyone gains rather than 1 or 2 people per server) or just helping everyone out a bit like Yue did in that infamous CWF final.

maybe they will make a Ultimate Heavens Palace just for the Ultimate arena players, o.O

[Nevaeh_3778816]

Quite frankly I think the new "update" sucks. It is completely stupid. Tynon just ruined arena, are they trying to make people stop playing? It appears that way. Tynon you suck...

[BestGameFaqs]

Exactly! Now those that are allowed to create 100 alts to control cities will now control arena also and screw everyone else.

So the huge players with the big leads get bigger leads in the one arena and all of us who left the big alliance realm to get away from them coulda saved our gems

We are just here as fodder for the coiners anyways right?

Thanks for nothing

Even tho it shows us in normal arena, you can't access it. What we do in Ultimate is what will count. I was in 2nd today when I logged in this morning, in normal arena, later in Ultimate I beat the guy that had #1, now it shows me 1st in normal. So no clue where it will take the pics for Palace, but I have a feeling it will be out of Ultimate. On our server, 2 which still has 5 realms, I imagine it will be the top 10. Might have already been done, so even if we try to change it's a guess if it will even matter.
