People will have more of a chance to access 6*s when they have more need. That's not a bad thing. Unless you think the Featured AND the Basic should only go to people will 80-100+ 6*s.
Well that's just nonsense. If I wanted a basic champ I still have my 150+ 6*s I can use. It just makes zero sense to ever use them outside of going for a champ. All it does it makes it far more annoying to do so as I'll have to do twice as many rounds as before. This doesn't even the playing field it just annoys anyone that used 6*s to go for a basic champ.
How is it twice as many rounds? EVEYRONE has their numbers lowered. Getting 16,5m points with 6 stars takes more rounds than 4m points with 5* champs. So the effort has decreased for the top 2 arena's. And therefor the units have been lowered. Your leveled up 6* champs will still score more points than your 5 stars since their PI is higher. You will still have more champs available than lower players because your 6* champs will never pull a deathsquad. The cutoff will no longer be 80m but will be lowered to 50. since EVERYONE now gets less points per round of 6* champs. You just still have way more champs to use for grinding than for example me. So you are still save.
The point is most top end players grind for shards and champs not just units.. so getting 16.5m was never an issue
Now we go back to getting less units for grinding single arena.
The difference between this change and the old change is that EVERY player that can do the higher arena for shards has the option to do 15 rounds in the lower arena's if they really want the units. But in the old system. Not every player was able to get to those 200 units. All across the board this is a better change for a lot more people.
i can understand why people are bummed out about losing units in the top arena. kinda sucks that you can only either go for a champ or get units or spend way more time than before to get both. but tbf, kabam don't seem to want to change the amount of units offered so they just moved it to another arena. initially it won't be good since we now have to rank up 4* for easier grind but after some time it will be easier to grind those units with more upgraded 4*.

Could not agree more.. what a disgrace... why are my 6* and 5* now useless in arena.
And it I read right the top arena have had units removed... just cause I have a massive account does not mean I pay to play and want to waste time grinding 4* champs
How were you getting units before the arenas were updated? In the original arenas you could only use 6* champs in the featured 5* arena, which contained 135 units. You could only use 5* champs in the 4* featured and 5* featured, and the 4* featured also contained 135 units. All of the other units were in arenas you could only use 4*, 3*, or 2* champs in.

Units are right there in the lower arena. So if you want them do it. It's not out of your reach you just don't want to do it.
You struggle to understand.. units are secondary to me.. I grind for shards and champions. The units and Gm shards are a nice bonus
However, why should I (and many others) now lose out cause a load of people moaned they wanted something for free.
Depending on how you look at it, it is not FREE thou is it? You still need to play for it and invest time. pretty much every player will be able to get half the total units that can be earned now. Just like in the old system. And players that just went for shards before still have a bonus in a pretty decent increase in shards.

Why wouldn't you want to use them? They still score more points per round on average, which means they score more points per hour of your time.
Bc it's pointless to use them unless going for a champ specifically bc they get the same points with twice the cooldown. They'd be much better spent in the featured arena towards those milestones. I personally couldn't care less about the milestones or where they are.
I just know that to put up 60-70+M in the basic arena I'll now need to do twice as many rounds than I do with the current system.
It is clearly visible that only a handful of the players with huge 6 star rosters are mad. The general consensus is most players being happy with the change.
The players with huge 6 star rosters are mad the fact that they will have to dig into their 4 star champion rosters for the units. They cannot use their 6 star ones for that many units now.
A fair change has been brought now. If you want the units, use your 4 star champs in the trials arenas. Why ask to take away units from majority of players, just so that you can use your big rosters?

Similarly, why did others have to lose out on champs/units/shard at the same time since you wanted something? You could get all the units for 'free' as you said. Others couldn't. You didn't have a problem then. Now that you aren't getting it for free, you're moaning. You still get 270 units without much effort.

I used to grind all of the milestones in all of the OG arenas, and consistently place in the top 1-5% for shards in the 5* featured arena. When they updated the arenas I shifted to grinding for top 1-10% in the Trials and top 1-5% in both 6* arenas. *I* thought that change was too penalizing for most arena grinders, and I said so. Sure, the first update was better for top grinders in some areas, but it was too harsh to everyone else. The standard for comparison should be the original arenas, not the previous iteration, because that was always the target: to approximate what most people were getting from those arenas, in a simpler arena structure with updated rewards (outside of units).
The top arena grinders, and I include myself in that group, aren't losing anything. For us they are just about as good for units and much better all around for shards as what we originally had. The prior iteration was just a step on the path towards making the new arenas better for everyone, or at least as many players as possible, without going overboard on making rewards too easy to acquire.
Thank you very much for evaluating and addressing this major issue. I look forward to seeing how these changes feel when compared to pre-Shang Chi area.

Yes, but the question is do you now have to put that many points in? The 6* scoring advantage has been significantly reduced, but that is true for everyone using 6* champs in the basic. Won't cutoff targets go down as a result? I'm assuming that most of the people in the top 500, even in the Basic arena, were using a lot of 6* champs to earn that score. Are all of them going to continue to target the same point targets even though their own scoring power and that of their competitors has dropped? I suppose it is possible, because scoring is driven by psychology, but that seems unlikely to me.
Milestones are more reasonable for mid level players so it's a great change for players overall, but end-gamers could be getting the shaft if their rounds go up.
How do rounds go up? Honestly just asking. Since the points for the 6* Basic affect everyone, the cutoffs will change accordingly.
Why devalue the 6* champs in basic arena, and not turn it to a 4-5* champs only? The only logical explanation about this in my mind, is to prevent players to actually grind both basic and featured arenas, if you use your 6* champs in featured, you can't use them in basic and vice versa. So if you have a decent amount of 5* r4 and r5 but not too many 6-stars, you will need the 5stars for featured to get a decent rank for some 5 of 6* shards. And that means, you can't play the basic.

To keep the points reasonably competitive while at the same time evening the playing field, I assume.

We used to reach them but now we will need more time to do it, that s the problem.
I can get all milestones in the 6* arenas in one day with this change. 2 runs with each of my 6* and 5* Currently it takes me all 3 days. And 5* have no use. This change brings back value to my 5* (167 of them). If i run my 4* twice i can get 130 units from that too. 400 units in one day, then can chill for 2 days. And with the 6* points reduction in 6* basic the cutoff score will drop, but the same number of rounds will be needed to get top100. And if you need to refresh with units, just refresh the 5*: same points, half the cost.

Not for anyone actually worth getting they won't. People will just do more rounds and refresh more to put up higher scores.

Was getting them from feature arena and basic... henace under new changes I got more for doing the same arena.
I have endless 4* but just don’t want to run them in arena as the end rewards don’t equal shards.
I still need to do 25m for my shards and maybe 15m in basic for the 2k 6*... that’s end goal. Yet now doing the same nets less units.
But it’s ok as people with big accounts are not allowed to moan. As everyone assume just spend spend spend
As a consistent ARENA GRINDER for the last 4 years I am going to provide my feedback. I am looking forward to these changes. I'm not sure why everyone is so upset about their precious 6* 150 champ whale rosters not being able to DOMINATE both arenas. FTP and Casual spenders deserve somewhere they can compete for champions. Now my roster CAN do this against a full blown whale due to this change. Seems some folks are pretending that the milestones DO NOT end at 4 million now. You don't need your 6* in this arena UNLESS you are grinding for a champion. So take your 6* to the Featured arena.
I still think the cutoffs for both Arenas should have been lowered though since its just a cheater fest in the top 100.
Are these changes perfect? No. Are they better than the current trash system you gave us. Yes. Possibly. Gotta see where the ranks land based off the grind data over a couple weeks.
I'm concerned about your higher milestone in the trials for my gf's UNCOLLECTED account. I'm also concerned that you demand too high of a cutoff for a 4* basic champion. If you were to lower that cutoff to 1.75 million I think it would be a great change to help the newer players out. They are 4*'s Kabam there is no reason to squeeze more of our lives out for them.
Other then that I look forward to the changes and to see how it effects the game an grind. Literally anything would be better. The current system is just whaley whale boys dominating both arena's as they see fit. Folks acting like the whales didn't dominate the basic last week are just not actual grinders and talking out their blow holes. The basic arena needed some kind of balance and I dont think a lower cutoff would ever fix that. Whales CANT just have it all.
@Kabam Miike With the milestones right-sized, would you guys please consider giving us all another crack at Mister Negative in the near future? For those that like to have their rosters collection filled out, it would be good to have an opportunity to get 3* Mister Negative at the new 2M point level vs the out-of-reach 6.25M level that he was at last week. Thank you for your consideration.

Wait. So let me clear this. You used to get 270 units before. You didn't have a problem. You didn't want to put in extra work for the other units, but that's your call. Not everyone can. Then arena changed, now you got more units for same effort, a huge amount of the player base got shafted compared to previous arena AND you got more units. So you were happy. Now they reduced the units but it's the same as the initial iteration, you get better rewards, and you're unhappy. When the previous arena was out, you told the lower players to play more, grind harder, spend more time to get the units. But you don't want to do the same with the lower arena.

You're absolutely right. This completely levels the playing field. People won't just spend more units on refreshes to put up higher scores for anyone worth having....
since the game has changes to arena there should be changes to T1 Alpha, T4 basic, T4 class. we should have a t5 basic arena and also a t2 alpha arena. or add another milestone to those current arenas.

The goal isn't to get more people Champs. It's to make the Arenas more reasonable for people who aren't sitting on stacked 6* Rosters. The Champs will go to whoever puts up the most Points regardless.

You can only put up so many points a day. Doesn't matter how many 6* you have now. You are limited by TIME. Now me and you will be able to reach the same scores based on TIME. Will I have to use a couple thousand of my hard earned units to meet your TIME spent with your bigger roster? Yes. Thats called the arena grind. Think BG calls it the "nature of the beast". So you should just go to the 6* featured arena and flex your whale roster there.
Give collected players back the access to compete for specific champions in basic 4 star arena. Stop treating people who don't like playing story like second class citizens and taking things away.
