Thought kabam said it will make life more easier, less time to reach all the milestones. This new system isn’t as it should be. Double the points for the same amount of units but keeping the points earned in each round? Why?
Honestly, this is insane. I assume the real objective must have been to reduce the amount of "free" units given out to the player base as a whole. Sure some may get 5 more units, but the majority of us will get approximately 100 less units each.
Hey everybody, thank you all for your feedback. We're hearing a lot about the Milestones (which is great), but if you have any other feedback, like on matches/deathmatches etc., please make sure to share that too.
Additionally, please keep your feedback constructive. If you do or don't like something, tell us why. I've cleaned up a lot of posts that tell us how they feel, but not what the reason is. Actionable feedback is always best, and to get to that, we need to understand the concern itself.
Thank you all for all the thoughts and feedback so far. Keep it coming!
I only ever did the 4* basic due to time constraints.
Now using 4* champions, I'm up against 5* champs in round five. In round six I started using my 5* champs and was put up against 6* champs. How is that fair so early in the streak?
Also, the fights seem to be harder, which only exasperates the effort needed to reach the milestones.

@Kabam Miike The new post on the forum talks about death matchups. Faced it 4 times in a row
This is one of the biggest mess-ups in the history of MCOC. Beginners with a shallow roster CANNOT compete with others with deeper rosters. The unit grind has been raised by a lot, repelling beginners. Even those with good rosters are getting death matches, aka those matches which are essentially unwinnable. This is unfathomable kabam. I will probably quit, if I have to grind this much more.
On a positive note, I like the grandmaster shards! An easy fix would be to either increase the amount of points five stars give or decrease the cool down of six stars. That’s only if you don’t want to restructure the basic six star arena.
They should decrease the cool down of 6 stars to 6 hrs and 5 stars to 4 hrs to make it more feasible. Giving more points for 5 stars will be a good too. They should also decrease the milestones in the 6 star basic to make things better. Above all else, for god's sake give the 3 star featured champ at 640k milestone or closer. Why do we need to grind 6 mill for a new 3 star when we were getting them for 640k in the last system.
So I should have the opportunity to run more arena for the same number of units? The issue really is the point discrepancy. A lot of the changes are great, and if they wanted to add unitless milestones for extra shards, I'd be fine with that. But for those who want the units, this is a lot more work and this issue absolutely should have been anticipated
I am not getting if you are agreeing with me or not. If you are saying that the units should be within the 6 mill milestone in both the 6 star arenas and above that it should be shards only, I would be fine with that too. What about the battlechips earned, should they also be limited to the early milestones? I have no issue if they keep the milestone even at 40 mill, if they keep the units in the lower milestones and give the shards in the higher milestones.

So here’s why players feel cheated. The old system with numerous arenas rewarded using your highest tier champs available. If you’re trying for “supplemental income,” so to speak and you’re not a hardcore grinder, you could get your multiplier up in the top 3 arenas, then use your max 4’s in the 4-star basic, your max 5’s and 4/55 champs in the 4-star featured arena, and mostly 6-stars in the 5-star feature.
This system abandons all of that in favor of getting as many 6-stars as possible.

So far the matches have felt the same, but I am really having trouble motivating to get to it knowing how much less i would be getting overall.
Things I like and you should keep: - Champ in milestones - less arenas - grandmaster shards (should be cavalier for cav+ players)
Things that need to change: - Cooldown times - points differences based on rank of champion - Milestones
I’m thinking of buying a Shang chi cav now, since I think it’s going to be extremely hard to get the extra 2.7k units I need for 4th of July. I’m not a hardcore arena grinder, and I don’t exactly have the time or the patience for it. I’m also a ftp Cav player
It's a dud. Before I had more choices as to which Champions I wanted to hunt down as a collecter. When you remove choice the game always takes a step backwards in my opinion.
I don't really think this takes away your choice, if anything it does give you more.
This is NOT a quality of life improvement at all. A lot more work and time in arenas for 5 more units? Not sure how you think this improves our arena experience. It’s going to discourage people from doing arena
They didn’t do this arena update to make another quality of life improvement as they never mentioned it.
Definitely WAY TOO MUCH to grind. Already the arenas are very repetitive and needs dedicated grinding, we are getting for to grind 3 times the previous for same rewards
16.5M for one is too much and I am a milestone grinder. I will not be able to grind for 33M. Just can’t. As an FTP, guess my hopes for July 4th are in the trash
I'm Curious: Prior to these Changes, how many Milestones across all of the Arenas did you used to complete? If you don't remember that, do you remember how many Units approx you'd earn from Milestones per Arena run?
Our goal is to keep the effort roughly the same, but of course, with reducing the number of Arenas, that's going to be difficult. With the change of the rarities allowed in each Arena, the points are definitely going to be different, but we want to keep the effort roughly the same.
If that's not the case, we want to know! We won't know that on the first day or possibly even the first run, but please keep the feedback coming.
As someone who's been grinding arena for Abyss paths, this is very disappointing.
I used to run every arena and get all milestones. This was easily achievable with my roster. Now I can't finish milestones, or get close. I have 45 6*, I'm done all content (Minus Abyss) and I can't finish arena milestones now
A quick glance on the milestones and I say it looks great so far. I think it makes more sense to add more milestones spread out because we are growing our rank up collection more and more.
this changes makes me want to quit this game that have no respect for players...more time in arena...was already boring now is worst...rediculus. Im spender...but still play arena....i had in mind to take all the offers for 4th july...again...but since you give as these feedback about the changes of the game makes me to think twice if i want to invest to my hobby or change it before i waist any more money on it. I have 80 6* and still needs 5* to take down both arenas (i dont even want to give all that time to arena).
In my opinion, the milestone for the 3* featured is wayyy too high. I understand that the 4* featured is about 9 mil, as that is around the amount that was needed beforehand to get a new 4* featured. But for the 3* featured it's just too much for the average summoner
Congratulations kabam, you've ruined arena too. Keep them coming. My only Joy is that I was able to grind enough units to become cavalier before this change went live. otherwise, with this ridiculously high mile stones, I know I'd have been stuck on my cav run. If this doesn't make people quit the game, I dunno what will.
Typically I would play all tiers of arena to grind units on the milestones, specifically the first few milestones of each arena, if I needed some extra units for a revive or something else. You've increased the effort needed to do this.
As someone not yet uncollected, who doesn't generally do arena, my opinion probably counts little; that said, as I previously said, it stinks like a week old fish that people below Uncollected can't even get a 4* or 3* version. I ran the Jubilee arena to get her, knowing I would get her from the milestone. I may well have done the same for Shang-Chi if we didn't get the free one. Now, I get no option to consider that. A nexus 4* crystal doesn't make up for that. I previously ran the 3* Thor-Jane arena to get her, because I hadn't got her from a crystal. Again, an option I'm now denied if I wanted to in future. An arena with the 3* as a top milestone and 4* ranking reward should be added.
On one hand I definitely appreciate the availability of grinding out two 6* champs, but at the same time the milestones to keep equivalent unit and battlechips is a bit of a gut punch. In the old arena I could grind the 4* featured milestones in one sitting, and three rounds of my 6* would get me the 5* featured milestones. I have no idea how much longer it will take now, but significantly so for certain.

This is my new arena grind as a newly Thronebreaker player. It sucks and reversion would be nice
