Best Of

I am one of a few players that worked with the developers on tuning the current restructuring of the arenas to their current form from the original arenas. It was not just "tweaked" to add 6* champs. That wasn't even the motivation for the arena changes. The intent was to simplify the arenas from their original four track set to just three, with some additional simplification in how the rewards worked. As part of that process, there was a concerted effort to tune down the unit earning in arenas. A few of us fought hard to try to roughly replicate the original unit earning trajectories. I and one other player in particular created very detailed round-by-round projections on units per time profiles of the original arenas and projected earnings from the updated arenas, and we went through at least three rounds of back and forth negotiating changes.

When I say players should stay away from the arenas, I'm not just guessing. I've been telling players that for a very long time now. When Kabam Crashed - who was a senior game economy designer at the time - made the first public statement about arena updates at the time, he gave a similar warning. The fact that Crashed used literally the exact same words I had been using for over year by then when doing so should give player pause.

Over the years the arena has only gotten more busted than what it was when Crashed literally rolled his eyes when reacting to a question about the arenas on a live stream.

This has nothing to do with "if it aint broke don't fix it." It is already broke. The next time Kabam looks at the arena, they are extremely likely to fix it. You're right it makes sense for Kabam to add 7* rewards to the arenas. It also makes sense for them to reduce the unit earning speed in the arenas by about 75%. It also makes sense for Kabam to fix infinite streak once and for all so the arena isn't the only joke content in the game you get massive rewards for playing with your eyes closed.

You think you can get Kabam to just fix the one little thing you want without touching everything else that is broken? Good luck. That's beyond my capabilities, and I've asked for some crazy stuff over the years.

7* wolverine = collective points. Whenever it will come.

Story ends. The end.

7* redpool, goldpool falls in the same category.

Get lucky for collective points. Nothing much after. Iconic characters treated as trash. Side characters is what mcoc is all about.

Marvel propaganda. Devote your life learning about irrelevant chargacter. Yes, offense.

Pixie lives in his own make believe world. It best to never believe anything he says because it is quite literally always wrong.

I thought only the highest tier of that champ contributes towards collectives.

If you have a 6* version of hulk then it still contributes towards collectives but once you pull the 7* all points from the 6* version are void.

Right?

they should give first apparence for dark phoenix first owners as well

Quasar ✨✨✨✨

Congrats!

No.

We already have Super DSE with normal DSE on Sundays.

No other Game company is so nice as Kabam to give rewards to its players.

And Sunday Arenas exist for a long time and will be the same for more 20 years.

Thanks Kabam 🥳

If and when that Pandora's box is opened, retuning arena to 7* and ascended champion strength would be the absolute best possibility the players could hope for.

It is also the most astronomically unlikely.

The most likely scenario would be an economy designer asking "why are we giving players like DNA3000 over $3000 worth of premium currency every year? Sonofab- is that what the 3000 stands for?"

And most of the player base is unlikely to appreciate what the answer to that question ends up being.

People keep saying "I understand why the arenas aren't being updated, but" and then sticking in their suggestions for updating the arena. Most people don't in fact understand why arenas aren't being updated, including the OP. The arenas are not being updated right now for one simple reason: Kabam has CHOSEN not to look at them too carefully.

There's a basilisk roaming the halls of Kabam HQ. It looks for horribly broken things and when its gaze fixes on one of them it gets turned to stone, and then smashed into rubble to help pave Vancouver streets. The arena is a horribly broken thing that universally favors the players in ludicrous ways. Its rewards are ridiculously high. It has almost uncapped grinding potential. Its difficulty scaler is so broken people think arena was intended to be played while watching TV. The basilisk doesn't want to fix the arena. The basilisk wants to turn it to stone. If it ever fixes its gaze upon it, the arena isn't going to be tweaked. It is going to just be gone, at least in any recognizable form. And they are not just going to take three thousand dollars of premium currency and sprinkle them for free throughout the game for everyone to collect either.

The OP, and players like the OP, are actually leading the basilisk to the arenas and asking it pretty please to close its eyes until it gets to the Sunday arena, and then only look at that, and then close its eyes again while it is carefully led away. All it takes is for the basilisk to take a peak one day.

Just one.
