With Revives Now Being Scarce, Arena Should Be Buffed.

Since Revives are heavily nerfed and now only limited to about 2 a day, There are a couple of different ways that arena could be buffed, and that starts with battlechips.

#1: Win Streak should give a multiplier to battleships earned. We all know win streak does nothing but increase the difficulty of the opponents you face, so it should be compensated with a small, but increasing multiplier with it. something like: “Every 10 wins increases battlechip multiplier by 1.1 or 1.2”
#2: Increasing battlechip rewards through milestones. -this statement basically sums it up
#3: Point Multiplier could go past X3. The Max is currently X3 but they could buff it to X5 after a certain number of wins. Ex: after 15-20 win streak.

Finally, there are probably 10 other different ways to buff arena but these would be the most appealing and simple for players since revives are more limited. This would allow players some relief of burden from waiting weeks for enough revives for Necropolis or high progression hard content.

Hopefully someone from MCOC team will at least consider putting this out on the table.
Thank you. Thoughts?

How much arena are you currently doing?

@phillgreen I have been doing a lot of arena for a really long time, and it’s underwhelming. ESPECIALLY now since revives are nerfed, i would feel like this might give players some more incentive to keep playing; instead of quitting because revive farming would now take too long to be worth it.

That's fairly untrue but also part of the plan. Kabam doesn't want people blazing through content in a day. They want things to take a while to finish. Revive farming only started after Acts 1-5 were buffed/nerfed. They started placing more items on paths for newer players. Before those changes happened, we were here discussing how many units were needed for content to get through it. That was still happening around the time EoP first started.

I am not saying arena shouldn't change, it should as it's probably the most boring game mode period (and I hate AQ with a passion), but back before farming was a thing, arena was the main answer. But the structure of arena hasn't changed and most everyone got what they needed just fine.

If you're quitting because of revive farming then you probably weren't going to keep playing the game that long to begin with. It's a pretty stupid reason to quit a game anyway.

Red_Hulk

@Demonzfyre I appreciate the response. I am not quitting due to the revive nerf. Also, people have only gotten by *because* of the availability of revives. But i also agree with you in the sense that arena gets boring, it should be changed after all these years of it being the same. Thanks for input!

It's very ridiculous that game has progressed so much, so many new items, buffs, nerfs but one thing that haven't changed with significance is Arena.

Every mode gets buffed here and there but not Arena, surely after the FINAL nerf of revives, Arena will get shine of change.

Toproller89

The arena is a joke, especially the crystal arenas on Sunday and the catalyst arenas which were outdated 5 years ago.

I wouldn't expect Kabam to focus much attention on the arenas, last I heard, units were going to be pulled out of arena and allocated to event quest.

BringPopcorn

Yeah arena should be changed so people can buy revives and still save for 4th of july, CM and Banquet; because getting stuff for free is a MUST in the game!!!
Not really...

Rockyshocky

The sunday arenas and catalyst arenas could definitely use a facelift. That aside though- what changes would yall like to see in arena? I play it a lot, and I honestly cannot get on board with any change that would require me to pay attention to it. The time I spend watching shows and movies is also the time I spend playing arena- and if a change requires more than the 10% of my attention arena currently requires, that would be very negative for players like me.

Red_Hulk

@Rockyshocky I understand what you mean

The ideas that i suggested AKA adding a function to the win streak. The higher the win streak, the better the rewards. it would still keep it OG.

Revives are still active so you still have time to farm. Not sure when the nerf will begin but I'm farming till it's gone. I would love a way to make arena more rewarding but I don't want to spend too much time doing it so as long as they don't make it more time consuming I will be ok with more rewards for same amount of work.

Pikolu

Last you heard was a dev stating his opinion of what he'd like to do, but displacing 4k units from a month of arena to EQ is extremely unlikely to happen.

captain_rogers

Yeah, units can serve dual purpose, you can also save up for deals and stuff, and you can control when to buy(units won't expire like revives).
Just buff arenas to give 30 units instead of 15 for each milestones, and buff the battlechips count into twice.

ReignkingTW

Revive farming hasn't been nerfed. Yet.

Venoween

Yet.

WayWorn2525

Has Kabam given a confirmed date or does anyone know what date it will happen?

BringPopcorn

Buff arena to give units to make up for revive nerf...
I really don't understand why people think that Kabam has to compromise 🤣
What is the downside? F2P will stop playing.. wow that will really hurt their pockets...

Pikolu

When your game updates, it has happened.

Vegeta9001

I'd have liked units included in the cav and tb eq, but honestly, I just hoard revives until hard content comes round, I 100% necro and didn't even need to farm more.

I'm thinking after the Crypt event would be a fair deal.

REALLY.... I didn't know game updates meant the game was being updated and it has happened.

Thanks, you answered my question!

The update hasn't hit yet... won't hit for another couple days. Could you point me to the source of this info?

From what I can remember being told by the devs, it happens with the patch to the game. I could be remembering wrong, but if I thought I was wrong, I wouldn't have told you it in the first place.

Nemesis_17

Even if arena doesn’t exactly NEED a buff, a small tune up would be a great pro player move to win back some of the community favor. Maybe just make the milestones quicker to achieve, (I like the 5x multiplier idea) or buff unit drop rates in arena crystals, just something to make it feel like we gained something back after losing revive farming.

It's not official, but if you read between those lines that's when it happens. I'm honestly surprised they didn't bring it up Friday.

FTP are as important as paying players.
If F2P stopped playing the game, then the game would die sooner or later.
Same as if paying players stopped playing the game.
They are both important for the game.
The hot take that FTP aren’t contributing to the game is at least naive, if not stupid.
If they weren’t contributing anything, Kabam themselves would had block their access to the game to save servers for the paying players.
They are not, because the game needs them.
I’m not even close on being FTP (over 10k € spend over 7 years), but I respect any FTP that is contributing their time on playing this game, increasing it’s popularity, it’s success and ultimately revenue 🙂
