Dear Kabam, can you please tell us...

Are there any plans to improve the arena system? As far as how long fights take without suicide masteries, increase in arena rewards, less screens to sift through in between rounds, anything? Can you please Comment on this letting us know if you are planning on updating the arena system? Hate having a false hope if it’s not even in the plans to have a change. The community is begging for an answer.

Less screens to shift through? After sch fight press next. After the series press next not continue. The time between fights and matches has already been drastically reduced.

Arena has been going on for years now without any real change. I wouldn’t expect them to overhaul their whole arena system when it works for them.

Hatshipuh

I really hope that they give us some insight on their plans even if their plan is to do nothing

SiriusBreak

Some new additions would be welcomed (5* Basic arena, 6* Feature, and a Sunday Multifaceted Progression Tier based arena). Sunday 1st though, lol. As stated in other threads, it's LONG overdue.

Panchulon21

Sunday overhaul is needed but I like not doing anything in the game on Sundays lol

@Kabam Miike can you give us some insight on the arena system?

Ultimatheory

I don't see much of an issue as is. I would love it if champs that needed help were not at the top of the list though and there was a help all button I could press when I was finished with my current arena run.

5* basic arena should already exist too... *cough* game needs more 6* shards in rewards *cough*

Ctleath_013

I would rather them do other stuff, like fixing bugs or buffing old champs.

Sunday Arenas have been in need of changing for at least a year

Sorry guys, but I can't really give you much of a reply here. I can say that there have been some conversations about Arenas, but that's about all.

Utterly disappointing

What happened to all that transparency you guys promised? These arena talks are so classified you can't even give us a general idea about what's being discussed?

Probably because the conversations have likely gone as follows:

"Hey, should we address arenas?"

"Maybe."

"Yeah, maybe. But we are really busy with creating other content. New AW with no increase in rewards. New AQ with marginal increase in rewards. Forty-five day EQ that is a huge letdown. Arenas can wait."

Transparency would mean letting you know if there was anything in the works. At this time, we've only discussed the possibility of updating arenas, but have no details or timelines.

To add to this, Transparency usually means giving more insights into "why" and more heads up on the thought process of our Dev Team, and doesn't necessarily mean announcing things before we are ready to announce them.

We know that you guys want an update to Arenas, and that's why we're talking about it, but without anymore concrete details, everything I say would just be made up and assumptions that could be very wrong, or change completely.

Should we be surprised?

Kerneas

For once I agree with Admin. If we knew about all concepts, it'd be chaotic watching the process of making and adjusting the content and tbh I love surprise announcements

Still sounds like y'all are overworked... Really think we need a month without a new EQ and Champion(s), I know some people may get bored but it would be worth it in the long run and possibly draw new interest in Players who've quit the game because of said problems, and instead put focus on working on things like Arena that have been needing a Rework for quite a while now.

AceLuffySabo

You do realize there are people working to fix bugs AND people working at making new content? crazy, right? Who would have thought Kabam has multiple employers and not just one guy doing everything by himself.

Buttehrs

It really sounds more like they are short staffed and should hire a few extra people. Heaven knows they rake enough cash in from thier 2 games to accomplish this.

The game team should talk faster so we get an update soon. It’s not that hard to get a group of team member together to set new ranked rewards for arena and while they are at it add a 5* basic and 6* featured champ arena. Arena is a joke for the current state of the game I only play for the units and battle chips at this point

Why doesn’t Kabam just hire more people to fix all these issues? Surely it can’t be more expensive to hire people than it is to lose revenue because of the issues

You can bring anyone in from the street and hire them. That doesn't mean they'll know what they're doing.

SiriusBreak

As it stands, in talks is a start at least. Personally, I'd rather have concrete information vs a bunch of maybes. So once there IS something to know, I'm sure we'll hear about it. For now, they're in stage 1 of making it happen. Figuring out what they want to do. While it's easy for us to say, the concepts are there, choose some rewards and get on with it already... fact is, they're always in some stage of development with new content. Some stage of work in progress with bug fixes. Etc, etc.

It does seem like they're overworked and under staffed. Try to bare that in mind when saying your piece in relation to the 'ease' of fixing, updating, adding, or changing anything in this game. Hopefully we get some new arena action before the end of the summer.

This is honestly all I wanted to hear. So Thankyou. I really mean it. Now I know it’s atleast in the talks. I’m glad you guys are hearing the community and Atleast discussing things we really want. All I wanted to know was if Atleast you guys were talking about it and to know that you are is reassuring even without a timeline or specifics on a potential update to arena. Thankyou @Kabam Miike

StevieManWonder

@GroundedWisdom or, and hear me out, you can hire someone with experience and knowledge which is what any ordinary person who read my post would assume I’m talking about. I don’t anyone except for you read my post and thought I was talking about Kabam hiring just any random person.

I think he’s just annoyed as people have wanted an arena revamp for ages and kabam said during the act 6 chapter 1 discussion they were going to add another arena

5* basic is needed but how the milestones should

Your not very good at trolling grounded it wasn’t even clever comment, Anyway PraiseKek Just type in kabam jobs on google and just see how many jobs they have advertised a lot of gameplay designers, technical engineers and champion designers so It looks promising

TheBestinTuakau

An idea I have is this: an arena that doesn't reset at all, and has unlimited milestones that keep going every 1 million points between then for example. These milestones could include a vary of rewards from 2* crystals to phc shards to 5 and 6* shards at later milestones. Kabam could also include a champion cap to prevent the newer players from obtaining the later rewards too soon.

You're right. I'm not good at trolling. That's because I'm not a Troll. Nor do I try to be.
There is an application process, yes. However, the people working on the game have the experience of working on it for some time. I find it frivolous to say they can just hire more people over something like a discussion on Arenas. There is a priority order to things, and they no doubt don't need another hire to discuss something like this. It's certainly not a reason to bring someone on. Could they use people? Perhaps. I'm not aware of their HR needs. What I do know is they don't just create jobs without significant reason.
They will get around to discussing it when they can. There's nothing overly-pressing about an Arena revamp.
