The game experienced a brief connectivity issue this morning. The team promptly fixed the issue and things are back to normal, thank you to everyone who passed along reports!
Why is there such a deafening silence on this? I think many of us myself included would have though twice about purchasing in January had the information available to us explicitly stated this would happen 2 weeks before the new launch date. Sort it out Kabam. Banquet, raid revives, sigil - is this the new strategy to make things so dire that anything new is seen in a better light?

Unfortunately it was announced somewhere the sigil would be turn off for 2 weeks....
(thought @Furrymoosen 's initial reply with screenshot from IN-GAME “UPDATES” Tab Message (below) was in this thread. Was in a smaller thread instead, so quoting it here too)
Under updates, sent a week in advance. (end quote)
Insightful.
Although to be fair (until things started to turn nasty), Announcement at top of post here just says.. *As compensation players will receive a package of rewards based on the number of remaining days of Summoner’s Sigil access they have at the time of the transition.
So people didn’t realize that “time of transition” didn’t just mean any days still remaining on their Sigil as of the 27th, if Announcement here is the only thing they go back and re-read.
Without going back to in-game “Updates” messages tab to see it really was gonna be placed on hold (and transition comp) based from the 13th.
Probably very common though, you may have even read that in-game initially, but not think anything of it, until later when you see it affected you in game somehow you didn’t realize.
Personally, I wasn't expecting to have Arena Express available during the transition period, since this is part of the Sigil package. But, the fact that it was already announced, doesn't make it right, it s not a situation where you can do something about it, be prepared in some way for it, it s not that we play arenas a certain week each month and we ll re arrange out time schedule to have this week during Sigil days.
Plus, if we consider the compensation plan, and having in mind that this week, only yesterday actually, Test of the....-insert your progression level here- was active, we get double the units, in most common scenario, having a few days left on Sigil purchase (compensation covers 2 weeks of solo "Test". But again, this compensation cannot cover something that s RNG (battlechips crystals) and QoL for Arenas. You cannot price a time ...what s the word? "aspect".
So in conclusion I agree, Arena Express mode should be stayed available for everyone, and yes, it is indeed a very good and catchy advertisement for the new Sigil format, for those who haven't tried it yet.
Greater sigil being converted to sigil in 1:1 ratio is a straight up scam..
Greater Sigil could only be used on one purchasable item - they are being converted to a currency that can be used on any purchasable item in the store.

Where’s the scam?
Greater Sigils should be worth more than normal sigils definitely should be double the amount and not just 1:1 ratio.
So I spent in the banquet to get to Valiant progression for the sigil rewards and now sigil rewards for Valiant are practically the same as rewards a Paragon player will get in the new store.
You're saying the only reason you became Valiant was the Sigil?
Good job taking him in full context there fella.
There is more context?... He spent in banquet (not long ago) to become Valiant and get sigil rewards that actual Valiants have been complaining for a while, if anything this is a better situation for him...
I see a lot of people talking about how arena is going to be longer now that arena express is gone and I'm with you. I do arena for the milestones and battlechips. I plan out when to do it every week and work around my schedule with work and family ( when the kids are asleep). But remember you avid grinders, they said our time doesn't matter. Don't expect an answer from them. They are going to stay quiet these situations. Communication has been lacking lately.
