Kind of a farfetched suggestion, but I would be interested: Allow a "Toggle" to split points between the two top arenas, so I am not having to struggle or wait so long to attempt to get an infinite streak in both, but instead the toggle switch will split points earned between the two arenas.
i.e. If i earn 60k points in one round winning all 3, the streak continues, and 30k points goes into each of the top two arenas.
Theres no way I will ever likely be able to compete for even the 5* rank reward, but this would be a good option for the "middle of the road" players such as myself that isn't ready for end game content, but still trying to grow their accounts.
1) I never said profit=bad. That is what a company is for. I told you that Shang-chi and 6 star arena coming in the same month is not a coincidence. They want people to spend in arena too.
2) The point is you have no proof of that other than some vague theories about the champs being tuned before release. I already said about arena earlier, so I am not going to repeat.
3) Endgame players spend no units in arena? Some of the top ranks in featured arena were taken by the "whales" as people put it. They were still going for the champs even if they had them duped. The milestones being high is a problem for people who grind for arena. But, if you think people who don't spend any money in the game are ever going to catch up with those who spend, you are crazy.
4) It definitely is about money. Kabam needs to make money. But, it also has to retain as much players as possible to make money. Every player is a potential spender. How many people went from being completely FTP to spending on doubloons? I can tell you I know at least 10 people from my very small circle of friends who play the game. They were FTP from the time they started. So, when people say they are killing off FTP, or they don't care about FTP, I simply laugh at them. They make not care about you like a friend, or a parent or even a neighbor, but every FTP is a potential spender and Kabam definitely cares about that.
TL:DR - I agree with most of your points, only thing I don't agree on is that Kabam deliberately tuned champs before release to rake in the profits and that the new arena is a way to kill off FTP. That is simply not true. It is a mistake on their part which I hope they will correct.
I do put some money into the game lien the unit cards bud sigil and I might buy some of the offers that come out but now I am starting to rethink doing that if this game is heading to cater to the whales and pushing the peasants like myself out. We might not be the players that line the pockets but we do help make the game what it is today. We are the players pushing the heavy spender to spend because they don’t want to be out played by the F2P players.
Please give us the option to get what we were receiving in the previous arenas some way some how.
This change chokes economy and prevents those lower to be converted up. Pump out nice content to entice spending more then usual. People that depend on units from arena intake are going to slow down and your economy will go into depression...
Now that one round is done, you can expect people to try it. I have but given up half way the grind as it wasn't worth it. Now I'm slowing down any unit spending that I stashed for content because intake choked.
My plan is to only do AQ and regular energy spend and no other modes that require units. No energy refills, no items/pots/boosts. I.e. I'm slowing my progression in game down to level that unit intake has slowed down to match my time spent. I'm not increasing time spending, nor my money spending to "catch up" to some arbitrary content that I can complete next year. However, you need to make sure your top accounts are happy. I see a lot of bored people in my alliance that have slowed down because of this. I'm not there yet because of skill and roster, but to be honest this choking suits me because I'll spend less time in game and have more free time with family.
Units to finish content in game, get and rank up load of 6* and new arena will be ok for you
"getting" 6* is as much RNG as getting new champs....
I grinded as much as I could with my free time this arena. Got just over 10 mil. so getting higher up to try to get a 5 or 6*. lmao, never going to happen. Might as well lock those rewards out for non whales.
One more post for the little guys in this new arena format. Just received this response when I inquired about brackets in the new Summoner Trials. Beginner and Intermediate brackets no longer exist.
This means that as a new player, you are no longer able to build up your roster through arena like before. I was lucky that I managed to snag a few 4*s from the old arena system. But imagine if someone is starting the game just now, they are now competing with thousands of players with multiple 4*s, many of which have played the game for months if not years, instead of other new players with limited rosters.
Looks like new players will progress much slower than before.
Milestones are harder to get with the new format so i'd give this a miss but instead use my champs wisely and instead target the units from the main 3 arena formats.
It has lost my interest of grinding arena .
Also units are very less .
Bring back old format or less grinding and more awards
Very much
Heavy
Or that they create specific arenas for players who are just starting out, using their titles.
Because if you continue in this tone, many people who depended on the arena to make resources will give up the game!
Again, to only show people what the difference is, I have only ran my 6* roster whilst I made and ate dinner, put kids to bed etc...
Means 3 rounds and arena done
Would not attach
How are these changes hurting the vet? it actually benefits them the most. So, I am not sure where you are getting this from. All I said was don't attack the person saying they like this arena, you said they should be criticized as well which makes no sense. Just because you don't like the change, no one has to? The arena has to change to accommodate low to mid tier players also, but the attitude of the community has to change too to accept alternate views and not call everyone who likes the change a Kabam shill.
Could this have been done in a better way? Definitely. But, it's a screw up that they need to clean up now. They have got suggestions from the CCP and the community, let them come up with a plan first before raising doomsday predictions.
Not to mention the pool will probably reduce in size because I have no a doubt a few people who don't have the roster were dipping their toes in the water and seeing what it would be like for them and if they could get into those milestones with their limited roster
The only people who can be satisfied with this are those who have been playing for years and have a deep 6* roster, everyone else is being shafted
