**WINTER OF WOE - BONUS OBJECTIVE POINT**
As previously announced, the team will be distributing an additional point toward milestones to anyone who completed the Absorbing Man fight in the first step of the Winter of Woe.
This point will be distributed at a later time as it requires the team to pull and analyze data.
The timeline has not been set, but work has started.

There is currently an issue where some Alliances are are unable to find a match in Alliance Wars, or are receiving Byes without getting the benefits of the Win. We will be adjusting the Season Points of the Alliances that are affected within the coming weeks, and will be working to compensate them for their missed Per War rewards as well.
Additionally, we are working to address an issue where new Members of an Alliance are unable to place Defenders for the next War after joining. We are working to address this, but it will require a future update.

I don’t want to be THAT GUY, but I will try to respectfully ask this: how were you so emphatically against the cavalier crystals from the side quest because of rng you got bad pulls, yet you don’t see how this grinding of a 2 star arena could feel like a waste for someone who does the grind only to end up with a Groot?
We all get it: six star shards are the premier resource. It’s where the game is headed. But it STINGS to work for a month just to get a trash tier bench champ that only works for arena (lol pun intended). So a lot of us who are stuck in Act 6.3 would love more shots at a 6 star that could change the tide and help us become throne breaker.
I think it’s a bit tone deaf to assume to overall community doesn’t grind. From arena to AQ to AW and monthly quests mixed in with life, love, and everything in between....tons of summoners are trying to do the best we can with what we have. So yes....it would feel more like a CELEBRATION if we didn’t have to tap a phone screen for hours just to end up with a dud.
The arenas that have unique multipliers add incentive. Isn’t that what gaming is? Incentivizing behavior to keep the player logging in?
Maybe they can take a page out of the cavalier difficulty. Each day of the arena make a certain class of champs earn more points or have unique buffs that make the fights more fun and faster?
Maybe a multiplier around certain hashtags every hour. One hour villains can score you twice as many points in arena, and so on.
Look I’m no game developer, but I just think chalking the critiques up to “oh well....better earn it” isn’t in the same tone as “hey we are celebrating 6 years together”
- many people don‘t have the time for such a massive grind due to exams/work/other real life issues
- many say the rewards are not worth it (like getting a 6* Kingpin/Joe Fixit/Groot or whoever some of you mentioned) => so what‘s the problem then, if they are useless, just skip the Arena and all your problems are solved ... no time wasted for rewards you don‘t want anyway
- other special/different Arenas (like Mephisto mentioned often) were so much better due to the multiplier => you had that one finished (all Milestones) with a streak of 10-15 only using 1* ... that was done after like 15 min ... not a good reference, that one was way too short to be even called Event
- we should get everything for free because it‘s Anniversary => well, free stuff is always nice, but would it really be fun to get a million 6* Shards for free and don‘t really have to play/earn anything ... wouldn‘t that be absolutely boring (?) ... if you want a Champ Simulator ... all Champs, unlimited ressources ... I guess you should try to get on the Beta Tester Server program, might be possible there ...
All of you are acting like a bunch of millenials who just want everything for free.
This arena gives 190 units. And a bunch of extra stuff besides the 6* shards.
If you don`t like it. Don`t do it. I will, and I will be rewarded with some juicy stuff.
There is so much to do this month. Quests that could be explored in a couple of hours.
If they made this arena as short as the 5* arena everyone would complain there was nothing to do.
Because act 7 is too hard, variant has a rough boss or whatever reason people can think of.
If you don`t want to do 200 rounds of arena do the 5* version. That only takes roughly 50 rounds to get a fully formed crystal.
Kabam has been in the wrong in the past. But this time. A large portion of the community is being wrong with this.
And act 7 isn’t available to everyone at the moment, so if you really want a 6*, you’ll hammer the arena.
Doesn’t mean I’ll be doing it, I don’t want another 6* that badly.
People really are pushing back against the game at the mo, massive amount of complaining.
I’m not suggesting dialling up boosts for 200000 points each fight, but I do think small boosts would definitely take the heat of the grind here.
I understand 6* shards are rare, and that they are a valuable resources to players. On the other hand however, I’m not sure if 5000 shards is worth thousands of arena fights with your 2* champions.
Therefore, I’m all for the boosts or however you want to improve it. I definitely think there should still be a grind, but I think it should be brought down slightly because to be honest, this sort of grind seems like it should be for something closer to a full 6* crystal or something. I’m not a big arena grinder so I could just be getting this all wrong, and that it turns out that this isn’t actually too bad, but in my opinion, doing this arena for multiple hours and only getting a couple hundred thousand points, I’ll say it’s not great for me personally.
Just my opinion. I do think kabam and the playerbase should meet in the middle to make both parties happy in this situation. Building a good relationship between devs and the playerbase is important for most games, and I think it’s great for devs to give small gestures and things to remind the players that the devs are doing all they can to ensure a great experience is met. A positive relationship means a better game for everyone.
Why is it called CELEBRATION if you have to do 300 rounds of arena ? That's not a celebration man.....
I'm an arena grinder and I do not like celebrating by playing more arena. To each his/her own....
I will offer these observations for future “bonus arenas” :
1) More frequent milestones—even if it’s just small stuff—help with boredom.
2) Target streak overall should not be more than 200 matches for all milestones
3) Consider 3* for the 6* bonus arena
4) Allow match multiplier to escalate beyond 3X
5) If restricted to 2*, offer a way to get 2* boosts in game that doesn’t require cash or units
6) Consider running arenas like this one for 14 days
7) Adjust the regular Alliance and Solo events (Arena Wins, etc.) to award additional points for fight for the bonus arena
8) Include special objectives that can be met via bonus arena (e.g., opportunities for rare 1/2*)
9) Award special prize for first X Summoners who hit all milestones
Just a handful of thoughts that might help with some of the grindiness complained about here. Take it or leave it—just trying to be constructive.

Hope @Kabam Miike will consider some of these atleast
