New Arena Structure Feedback
This discussion has been closed.

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.
Basic should be 4*/5* champs only.
Let us do them both.
Nice try Kabam.
Let's pray for those FTP milestones grinder whose dreams are shattered with this new structure.
I hope they still get their sleep if they ever grind for the units lol.
i think that these changes really only benefit people who go for rank rewards. great for them, terrible for the other 95% of the playerbase
With this new change, its completely out of the picture that I can hit all milestones in both the 6 star arenas. 16.5 mill will take roughly 5 rounds with my 51 6 star champs and the maximum natural refreshes is 6, 7 if I push myself. This is actually a lot worse for me since I lose the units from one of the arenas. This is why we were asking to reveal the milestones so that we can give some feedback. smh
Old 5* featured: approx 60 rounds of 6* champs to get full 12 million milestones
Old 4* featured: approx 40 rounds of r4/r5 5* champs to get full 4 million milestones
Old 4* basic: approx 40 rounds of 4* champs to get full 1.5 million milestones
So 140 rounds to get all milestones
Now compare that to the 2 new 6* arenas
Each has 16.5 million for max milestones, so you need 33 million to get all milestones
That is approx. 167 rounds of ONLY 6* CHAMPS!!!!!!! So not only do you need a large enough 6* roster to run them 167 times, it still is 20% more rounds than the old 140 rounds WHERE YOU COULD USE 4* and 5* CHAMPS
So this change is bad for all arena grinders of all levels
- high level rosters still need to put up 167 rounds of only 6* vs 140 in old arenas
- small 6* rosters will have no chance of getting both, or even 1 of max milestones
I ask the community to check my math but I really hoper Kabam reviews this change as it has greatly increased, not decreased, the grind.
I could run all milestones across all arenas and get the same units as what you get now. That is 12 mill in 5* arena, 4 mill in 4* Featured, 1.5 mill in 4* basic, 540k in the 3* and 250k in the 2* arena. Those were easy to run if I had time since champs never repeated. Now, running 2 arena that both need the same champs, yet with even higher milestone cutoffs makes it a definite thing that I can't reach it.
The 5 unit total gain is nothing if you do not have the champions to grind them with. This is a big middle finger to none whale players. I used to like arena, and it game me some pretty good units, but this is absolute bull.
Sorry for the language.
Now they removed 3* featured and new 4* arena as higher milestones than 4* basic now and total it only gives 140 units .
Loss of 120 units a week means 480 units monthly. As a F2P , it impacted me greatly .
As an example. if you have all the milestones of 1 arena now. That is about the same as the 4* featured and 5* featured put together. But you would get 270 units. For that same amount of point now, with the same champs used you get 200 units. That is a lot less.
That is what is the problem here.
