Ultimate Arena Friday Truce

[Andy]

I see another problem with this new set up. In order to get to the daily rep limit fast (100 rep per fight) I, and the other players in my Guild, power down all the way (only the main with no equipment or runes) and hit the most powerful player within range 20 times. You loose every battle but still get 100 rep per battle. With people from other realms being able to see when you are powered down, they can now time revenges to when you are.

The same is true when switching formations for WB, HR, Royal Challenge and Quest bosses.

Not even 12 hours into this new Arena and rules are being made.
On server one, rules were made before I even logged in to see this new feature. Naturally, before cerb I take my place and got yelled at because it was 9:51 and someone got butthurt that I hit them 10 minutes before cerb.
Rules were great for the normal arena, for Gem purposes, etc... I don't believe the ult arena should have rank rules. Not all of us can sit at our PC's all day and must work to be able to play this game. Too many rules = No fun and no challenge. Not a big fan of this new Arena yet, as my first move in it did nothing but create drama.

Sry for you Deucalion, but i think an agreement for 9 Hours wont hurt.
If we figure out how the HP Statues will be selected we may can go back to no agreement at all.
But for now there are 50 Players who want to try out the new UA and may screw up every try to make a good HP for the weekend.
BTW its a Proposal right now and we wont know if all Realms or Players will take part or not.

Hehe, this is funny, you are very right.
It does leave you a bit vulnerable when you are dressed down.
I myself have not been creating revenges for months now because people on server 8 like to hit right after you are finished with banish and in the middle of change, or after they have changed and you haven't.
Perhaps a good strategy?

To the OP, perhaps it is wise to just leave it for 1 weekend and see what happens in HP?
Maybe they will take random 10 from the ultimate arena and then it will be hard to arrange anything.

lets just call it what it is tynon at it's best no notice and nothing to say how this affects palace. and let's face it if it is taken form the crap ultimate it will be mostly one quild on my server

So it's the top 2 per Realm for HP, pretty disappointing that only one Realm powered down

It was a shame but there was a lot of players who wanted to enjoy the new Arena and weren't prepared to power down. Now that it's here we can figure out how it works.

It's simply who holds the top 2 places in each Realm Arena, the UA doesn't come into it.

That seems to be the case indeed!
So same rules as always.
That will be easy to do as long as those in UA do not forget not to farm their own realm *grins*.

Good news!!

But since the top to can not participate in the Realm Arena, there has to be coordination with people from other realms to do the step down and step up. It is going to take some time to get the mechanics right. And all it takes is for some one to hit a player after set up is done. You can no longer say 'do not hit 1 and 2' because 1 and 2 for each realm are scattered all over UA so they are not easy to identify.

Glad I'm not the only one that caused drama! Yesterday I hit another coiner doing my 3 dailies and after I won he had an epic WC meltdown because I took his arena coins. Yes, you read that right, coins. Arena coins. We aren't talking about a huge drop in rank here either. He went from 2nd to 3rd. As far as palace is concerned it's not going to be possible. The server was discussing a truce but in reality, every guild was whispering they don't trust the guild that largely acts like arena coin guy. We've been stuck with these idiots so long many in the server wrote and asked Tynon to spice things up by switching different guilds to different servers. LOL
