Next Realm Event - Arena (Elaborated)

JackTheSnack

I know there was already an inquisitive thread on what the next realm event could be but I wanted to take this thread in a different direction. I was thinking, and with the banquet approaching, an arena realm event would be perfect…especially if it’s loaded with units. Between the other realm events, grinding for banquet tickets, SQs, and SOS it’s been hard to find time to grind arena to accumulate units. So including that in the realm event would kill 2 birds with one stone. There could even be special quests like there are for the loyalty, glory, and battlegrounds store tokens this season. Except, the special quests would contain battle chip rewards to open more arena crystals to get units (forgive me if I got the names wrong there). This would be a massive win for the community and kabam in terms of pleasing the player base. Please please please don’t miss the mark on this one kabam. What do you guys think? Additional ideas?

P.S. - the promo code from yesterday was FANTASTIC. Almost made up for a little bit of the AI issues we’ve been facing recently (maybe not for some paragon and valiant players but for others).

Sadly, as a F2P, I have to disagree. The more units you have, the less likely you're going to spend on big events. Kabam financially relies upon these big events. However, we haven't had the platinumpool event yet this year. Maybe, we'll get that.

I’m FTP as well. People will still big spend no matter what. People already have 18-30k units stacked up for this event and are still planning to spend. People are going to grind arena either way so why not make it the next realm event right before banquet

I think focusing an arena event where people will already be focusing their time anyway preparing for banquet is a great business model

Please don’t 🙏. I find arenas really boring and tedious. I can’t stand them at all.

To be fair, that is how a lot of players felt about BGs and they did it anyway. It would be good for them to make the rounds across all content. It'll help bring relevance to content that people don't enjoy, and there's a chance that it will open their eyes to enjoying the content more...or hating it more.

I feel like kabam probably has it already planned out and in the works since we’re approaching it pretty quickly but this thread may spur on some ideas for the event that I feel like is definitely coming

No just please no , realm events based on alliance content and arena would be literally FUDGIN nightmares, those are literally the worst types of content to base a realm events on, and I have ZERO confidence in kabam to make the rewards worthwhile

Realm event based on arena won't be as bad as basing it on bgs lol. No Ai issues, no rng, no need to spend resources, just grind.

I truly don't think kabam will ever force players to do arena to get valuable resources. It's always been a non mandatory area just to farm units for whoever has time to waste. If they force players to do arena then it will take away time from other areas of the game and I doubt they want to do that

Buttehrs

They'd make it like other special arenas where 1 and 2* champs give most points

Banquet is coming up and people will be grinding arena anyway tho?

GREAT point. And prep for banquet in the process. I feel like if it’s not in the arena then your time gets drawn to other game modes and away from the arena grind

They’ll have to make their rounds to every game mode in terms of realm events. We’ve had BGs, we’ve had crystal openings, they can’t do story content and quest completion, so the only things really left are AW and AQ which would be too many complaints and problems, which only leaves arena as the last of the list.

It's still an optional game mode with a realm event or not. There's plenty of players that have decided they would rather not get the rewards than play BGs, so they don't. It'll be the same for any other realm event.

I think it would be a hit. You’ll get occasional people complaining about the grind either way.

Nope... Arenas suck. I don't even care if it's arena

The more likely scenario for the next realm event, if one should start soon after this one, is probably something around incursions since saga incursions are also right around the corner.
But people shouldn't be surprised if there's something around arenas one of these days.

There’s going to be a realm event bottom line. Realm events are going to include grinding. So why not make it something that could benefit you to help get your units stacked up for banquet?

Well, we already know the saga incursions are coming, but they’re all limited by zones so I don’t know how you’d grind that would be the only thing
