**WINTER OF WOE - BONUS OBJECTIVE POINT**
As previously announced, the team will be distributing an additional point toward milestones to anyone who completed the Absorbing Man fight in the first step of the Winter of Woe.
This point will be distributed at a later time as it requires the team to pull and analyze data.
The timeline has not been set, but work has started.

There is currently an issue where some Alliances are are unable to find a match in Alliance Wars, or are receiving Byes without getting the benefits of the Win. We will be adjusting the Season Points of the Alliances that are affected within the coming weeks, and will be working to compensate them for their missed Per War rewards as well.
Additionally, we are working to address an issue where new Members of an Alliance are unable to place Defenders for the next War after joining. We are working to address this, but it will require a future update.

He’s saying set GW to ignore.
Oh, yeah I've already checked that box. Anyways back to the topic this 5* featured arena is going to be interesting. Wish milestones were a little bit better with 4* shards instead of pcs but maybe they will adjust in the future.
I’m still deciding whether to go for broke on the 4* featured or 5* featured. Quite like to see how far I get in 5* featured first time, but then I also want to take advantage of possible low cut offs for 4* killmonger. What to do, what to do?
Yeah Unless you are spending theres no chance to get in the top 150, I can recharge my 6*s vs a non-spender and theres no way they can catch up.
Not spending, but I reckon I could get 10 mil fairly easily if I put my mind to it. I’m wondering if that gives a decent amount of 6* shards
This new arena isn't anything new, the goal posts just got moved again with the introduction of 6*s and now this. These changes are too transparent. Players need the illusion of progress. Slapping a new number on some champs and shifting everything else down isn't fun.
Yup I figured it out, much appreciated. Was just confused at 1st. Do you plan on trying 5* arena?
You have to consider a 5 star basic arena. Kabam never looks back and learn from its past. We all know these arenas will be the downfall of players because they grind hard just to end up empty handed.
I've seen video evidence that you can average over 70k per round and do over 30 rounds per hour with the right masteries (suicides in particular). That means the twenty million cutoff scores for recent 4* featured champs can be done by top grinders in about ten hours. Not ten hours a day, ten hours period. Someone willing to grind for about five hours a day - which is hard, but doesn't require any superhuman effort - can reach 30 million or more.
It doesn't take 24 hours of gameplay to reach the scores being put up in the 4* arena these days. In fact a bot optimized to run arena 24 hours a day could be putting up 150 million points or more.
Undecided. Not anxious to compete against mercs and bots
Thats my main concern also, they are very rampant in the game.
I'm not sure what you mean by "astronomical" but the cutoffs have to increase for two reasons. First, the 4* featured cutoff is for top 800, not top 150. The top 150 are already, based on the best data we have, scoring between 22 and 25 million minimum now, without much pressure from below. And second, what the top 150 are scoring now isn't their best scoring possible, so there is a lot higher they can go and would almost certainty would go to pursue a 5* champion over a 4* champion.
I saw video evidence recently of a player capable of scoring 37 million points in 484 rounds, at a speed of probably over 30 rounds per hour. That's about five hours a day to get 37 million, using refreshes. That's probably at or near the top of what people are scoring now, but clearly that isn't even the highest score that player can put up if they really wanted to.
Also, 6* champions are rare in general, but the very top players have played and spent their way into multiple 6* champions now. I'm sure many top arena grinders have at least three, or will soon. If you are buying refreshes to grind your way to the top, three is all you need.
That’s vergoot and he places number #1 whenever he feels like going for it. When you have 83 5* then yeah it’s a lot easier and he said he uses at least 1-1.5 Odin per arena. Not everyone can do that @DNA3000
1. The number of 5* champions he has makes it cheaper, not faster, given the way he runs arena.
2. "Everyone" doesn't have to equal or even approach his speed. Only 150 people need to. But in the post above I made no claim that everyone can do that or even that the top 150 people can do that. The point is that the post I replied to suggested that scores are unlikely to rise much from 4* featured levels because scoring is limited by roster strength. Verygoot proves that roster strength is not the limiting factor to high scoring, once you reach a certain level.
Saw a screenshot of someone who had 6.

No one actually going for the top 150 is going to be either encouraged or discouraged by anything you say, or for that matter anything I say.
I wasn't directing the comment at those people.
I will contemplate directing the comment that people shouldn't be discouraged from trying to achieve the cutoff at the players not attempting to achieve the cutoff as my koan of the day.
The comment was directed at the people who were expressing discouragement from making an effort at all.
This exercise of dissecting my comments is becoming tedious and pointless.
