Auto Arena.... Yay or Nay?

Jeremy3186

Curious of the communities thoughts on this.... would you support an auto arena feature in game? My suggestion would be allowing auto arena up to arena milestones and nothing more (to protect the competitive grinders). Feel this would greatly help quality of life for players while also increasing champ chasing and rank up material usage to help the server burden

What say you?

StevieManWonder

Yay... auto arena yes

Would love to see it, will never happen. Arena is the main place to get units without spending, so Kabam has an active incentive not to automate it.
Think of it like this: why pay 50 dollars for about 1.5K units when you can autofight arena milestones for those units at no cost?

TheBoogyMan

Nay... auto arena no

So.....auto fight...sounds like bot, just without the guarentee of a win...nah. Arenas are supposed to be a grind. If you're not fighting in arenas yourself, then what are you playing in the game!

Most games have this feature though?

MCOC is not like most games though, in comparison of bugs, features, complexity, and content.

Is that a compliment to them or not? Hard to tell haha

I'll leave that to the reader....haha

If it would auto select the champs too that would be amazing lol. I'd be an arena grinder for the first time ever.

Depends which AI they give us. If it's theirs sure..... if it's the one they give us on autofight, gonna be fun watching your streak auto reset all the time. Your phone might be grinding around the clock.

Nay... auto arena no

This would prob increase the amount of points new champs would go for

Yay... auto arena yes

Make it fair for those that do grind, and those that don’t. Let’s say we have auto foghts going on until you reach a milestone, and you can only do that for like the first 3, otherwise that would be broken to get like 50mil in the higher arenas. It’s neat for those that don’t grind arena, and doesn’t affect those grinding for a champ.

Nay... auto arena no

1. What’s the point of auto fighting arena? They can just give us the units and gold(I don’t mind if they do)
2. You cannot reach or maintain a streak on autofight unless the AI gets an upgrade and actually fights like you do

Ironside47

Nay... auto arena no

By this time of the month, I'm auto-fighting everything. Arenas are the only place I fight for real.

KDoggg2017

Nay... auto arena no

Don't forget to add autoAQ and autoAW while we are at it! Maybe auto-login for good measure? 😆 👍

Hipoceros

Yay... auto arena yes

I guess they could add this as a sigil bonus, so they get some money and we get our time back...

I believe they have this feature in the transformers forged to fight game (please correct me if I am wrong).... but why would they do it? They would sell a lot more nexus crystal bundles and rank up material packages. Long game vs. the short monetarily.

They would make no money of selling nexus crystal bundles and rank up matieral packages of units that were auto-grinded. There is no upside to this for Kabam other than pleasing the community for a short while before we turn our attention to other things.

Auto-grinding arena would really devalue units. You are supposed to earn resources (or spend your money on them), not get them handed to you for free and 0 effort.

Nay... auto arena no

Arena already has auto-fight... me! I watch movies and sports while I'm in arena. I've even dosed off at the start of a fight. When I wake I see I've won while sleeping, with zero recollection of how I won. lol

Nay... auto arena no

Try auto fighting in a quest when the attacker and defender are at similar levels. You want to risk an arena streak on an auto fight? Will just end up losing every fight.

pseudosane

Nay... auto arena no

Arena is a grind, you take out time for it. WHy would you want those who cannot grind get easy rewards? that is counter intuitive. Arena takes time and gives out units/bcs. autoplay removes that. No thanks.

Nay... auto arena no

I mean I’d love it but it’d be a bit silly

Question for those who voted nay on this..... did you do so assuming "bots" would ruin the game for some reason?

My thoughts were something along the lines of people who work for a living, or do not have 5-10 hours every 3 days to grind arena... imagine going to work, setting your phone to auto arena, and letting it run while you work. Double productivity... imagine being out with friends and having arena running in your pocket... that was my thoughts on this... not cheating in any way.

The reason I suggested a cap of the auto arena at milestones was to also protect the guys grinding for champs. I can't imagine those results being affected by this in any way. Curious of replies to this.

Yes, the only way that kabam has to "trace" bots is a 3rd party software use.. and maybe a way to analyze a repetition of inputs...
Making it auto just lets them run the game 24/7.. also bots dont rely on winning all 3 matches or even 1.. they just run 24/7 farming points and BC for units.

Nay... auto arena no

As much as I'd love it, I don't see a point to it. If it were to emulate my way of playing arena, it would just lock your phone away for hours on end. If it happened in the background and you could do other things while it played out, it would probably break the game with a lot of free gold, units and battle chips just automatically rolling in for players. Plus, I don't trust the AI to keep my win streak going so it would probably take ages to reach the milestones as well.

I choose door number 3... Remove arena altogether.

Why? More importantly what would you replace it with? I understand not liking certain content, I in fact avoid quite a bit of other content but at the same time, I don't campaign to get rid of something just because I get nothing from it, I just don't do it and leave it for other people.

Shadowstrike

Nay... auto arena no

You can already Auto fight in a lot of other content why would you want to Auto fight this one? And then what's next, Alliance Quest and Alliance War on autopilot?

Now I understand the argument for simplifying gameplay, I even understand the argument for more quality of life improvements but at some point, you're just not really playing the game anymore if everything's on autopilot while you're just sitting around watching TV while your phone earns free stuff.

If that's all you want, you could just be playing a different game that already follows that kind of play style.

Maybe should have included the /s so it was easier to interpret my sarcasm lol.
