The new arenas appear to be made for the “whales” as its now more difficult to acquire shards. The last 3 day arenas for 4* I was able to acquire the immortal Hulk a champ I had yet to acquire, while doing that I was able to acquire shards to build my stable.
With this big of a blunder and all this negative feedback, I would not be surprised if they roll this thing back for the second run of this Shang chi arena
At a glance, the milestones are way too high, A standard cavalier player probably has around 40 6 stars
Yes, the milestones are too high. No, the standard cav player does not have around 40 6 stars. I'm about to be Thronebreaker and I have 11. I'd say the average cav, and not thronebreaker player has between 5 and 10
Wow this was not an improvement. You’ve pretty much ruined the game for me. I like so many others are probably going to quit the game. Hopefully you realize your mistake and go back to the way it was. You know as they say, if you ain’t broke don’t try and fix it.
Kabam, you are killing me. I loved arenas, do diferent ones and try to get the most rewards i could to try to grow. But eliminate 4 and 5 star arenas? 4, 5 and 6 are to big for some of us. my teams have 20k power base and you throw me enemies with more than 50k, even 60k. Besides the fact that some of us can't finish one arena now, the f2p players that have mostly 4 stars and not that many 5 stars have no way to grow: two arenas are to big and the milestones of the other one only have premium shards. this sucks. worst change ever.
The new arena layout is not an improvement. I was excited at first to see that I can get a 4-star featured along with the 3* featured, but then I saw the points needed to just get the 3-star milestone reward. Originally, we needed 640k points just to get the 3-star, now in the new arena, we need 6 million points. Where's the logic in that? I've always played the arena just to get the 3-star champs using my 3-star champs, but with the new system my 3-stars are practically useless, hell even my max 4-star champs are useless when I have to face against max 6-star champs
This new system is good for what it is. Those are appropriate milestones and rewards for 6*s imo. However, to remove all the other arenas feels like an insult to people that can't spend on units. Lets put it this way, turning suicides on and off is a bit more than 100 units. That was easy enough to get in a days work before this change. Now its hours of commitment to get those units back, and even that needs a decent roster to accomplish. If you need money that bad, just release 6* hyperion or something. Arena is supposed to be where people go to earn the ability to compete in this game. I swear, this game would be so much better if the devs were forced to play on a budget, or even f2p.
What about all of us who aren’t throne breaker or caliber ? What about all us poor smucks who have been playing almost four years now,Four F’ing years! FOURS YEARS ! And have worked their asses off and spend hundreada of dollars and have only three F’ing six stars to show for it and one of those is freaking cyclops . Cyclops,. F. And now we only have one F’ing arena ! One! And I’m not grinding away like it’s my job for little drips and drabs of premium hero shards that give me NOTHING but the sane two star dupes nine tenths I’d the F’ing time! Why have I maxed out all my,ones,twos and most of my threes for this ? Who the F is this benefitting ? Your screwing over everyone but your highest elites and saying FU to all of us who worked so hard and spent so much and F U newbies we don’t need you ,only the top elites matter! 59 F’ing 6 stars? Goody the F fir you four years of really hard F’ing work and I have three and Modok is the only good F’ing one! Thanks Karan fir telling me to F off and as usual call it progress.
It will be more time consuming and difficult to farm units now... Also for cavalier and above grandmaster crystal are not good incentives or value... I feel the new arena lacks balance between whats good for player base versus for the company itself..
Not a fan of the change. This panders only to the high end players and robs those who have not gotten to UC or Cav of units and experience. Just like not allowing us to grind to better crystals because we haven’t progressed as fast as others. It sucks.
You just killed f2p gaming with this horrible arena update. This change basically says "if you aren't a whale you don't count". I would clear both 4* arenas and the 5* arena every time. I am thrownbreaker and f2p. I am forced to choose one 6* arena and use everything I have in hope's to get the max milestone. On top of that I hit my 1st death match in months. There is nothing positive about this unless you are a whale, a merc, or you are going to make a youtube video.
16.5M for one is too much and I am a milestone grinder. I will not be able to grind for 33M. Just can’t. As an FTP, guess my hopes for July 4th are in the trash
I'm Curious: Prior to these Changes, how many Milestones across all of the Arenas did you used to complete? If you don't remember that, do you remember how many Units approx you'd earn from Milestones per Arena run?
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.
I always hit all milestones of 3* featured, 4* basic and 4* featured milestones, and sometimes a few milestones in 5*featured. if i spend a whole day with arena i could do it for the the 3* and 4*basic and 1 round of 4*featured on day 2 to finish the milestones. i don’t like having to wait for 5-star or 6-star champs refresh times that’s why i always skipped 5*featured, but with 4*featured it only took me 4 rounds so i did it anyway.
mostly it was guaranteed 500 units minimum with the battlechips but if i was lucky with battlechips and i did more 5*featured milestones, i could get up to 800 units actually. i don’t really want to do the new arenas because of refresh time of 5-star and 6-star champs. i could do 3*featured, 4*basic and 4*featured in 1 day (usually the weekend arena) so it doesn’t affect my daily life much. with this new change, i have to play arenas over a few days which most people with jobs/schools won’t really find the time to do. i didn’t even try the new arenas, so pardon me if the refresh time for 5-star and 6-stars have changed too because i wouldn’t know
also, i could do all 4 different arenas at the same time because i could use 3 stars for 3*featured, 4 stars for 4*basic, 5 stars for 4*featured and 6 stars for 5*featured. now i have to play the arenas one by one
6M for a 3 star and 9M for a 4-star featured champion is way too much, people like me who became uncollected 4-5 months back can't grind that much for we don't have many 5 star champions, it's hard for us and getting a 3 star at this high milestone being uncollected is really not good, I can understand for 4 star though, but 3 star is not really that valuable for uncollected, we try to get 3 star featured champs so we can try them, the least you can do is please lower the cooldown timer of 5 star champions to 1:30 hours or really lower the milestone for 3 star champion to like 3M or make a separate arena only for featured 3 star, please consider this Kabam, I love how you are putting your efforts in this game everytime but this really sucks, Hoping you will take the right decision as soon as possible ❤️❤️🙌🙌
These are now meant for people who either have a huge roster, money to refresh champs often and people who don't have full time jobs that can just grind and grind. I have been playing since about 2 months after the game came out and I stopped arenas years ago since there is just no time to even try and get the featured champs. When I read about the new arenas I thought maybe I could get back into it once in awhile but this just tells me I will never do arenas again. I have also spent a very large amount of money on this game (not like the whales though) and I feel really bad for the FTP players who rely on arenas to advance in the game. Give people more arena options, not less.
So I tried the new arena today and got Falcon 3* and 4* as milestones. My 3* was already at 99 sig so I could not tell how much sig I could have gotten.
However, the 4* sig level went up just 1 measly point. Yes that is right, 1 point. 2.25 million points for a 1 sig 4* increase. That is so lame, very disappointing really. Getting 4* shards takes much less effort and gives out 20 sig points for dupes. I have absolutely no more interest in this lame change of the arena.
And 6.25 million points for a featured 3* when it was 640k. What are you thinking?
Kabam, you messed this up big time and you know it. You are pandering to the top 100 players and not listening to the mid and low tier players. Your fanbase will start to dwindle because of this, as so many players grind the arenas.

Dude, the basic arena always gave a basic hero which only adds one sig level. That was in the announcement and that's the way it's always worked.
I don't see any problem about streaks/deathmatches so far, only problem is milestones. QoL improvements should help us and reduce the time we spent on arenas, shouln't double it.

I have spent more $ than I care to admit ...but I still would do arenas to supplement , and was both fun , good practice and rewarding.
You have absolutely DESTROYED a cornerstone of this game, probably the most embarrassing move you didn't think through.
You guys have been doing really well lately, now this.
Please fix this insidious move asap and keep my alliance mates playing.
Cyclops,. F.
And now we only have one F’ing arena ! One! And I’m not grinding away like it’s my job for little drips and drabs of premium hero shards that give me NOTHING but the sane two star dupes nine tenths I’d the F’ing time!
Why have I maxed out all my,ones,twos and most of my threes for this ?
Who the F is this benefitting ? Your screwing over everyone but your highest elites and saying FU to all of us who worked so hard and spent so much and F U newbies we don’t need you ,only the top elites matter!
59 F’ing 6 stars? Goody the F fir you four years of really hard F’ing work and I have three and Modok is the only good F’ing one!
Thanks Karan fir telling me to F off and as usual call it progress.
Also for cavalier and above grandmaster crystal are not good incentives or value...
I feel the new arena lacks balance between whats good for player base versus for the company itself..
