**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.

4* Arena's pretty pointless now

With the introduction of 6*'s there's really no reason to even do the 4* past milestones. I had my whole weekend of grinding planned and now I won't be doing anything after Friday morning. When are the 5* arenas so I have a reason to play?

    Disagree. 4* arena still has its use. Its the quickiest milestone completion. Duping the 4* basic down the road for 5* shards. ....thats about it. Lol

    This is actually going to discourage elite players from participating in those 4* arenas while they have their own uncollected arena. This is to reduce the cut off and make the game much more balanced

    Too much grind for very few 5* shards (if you dup him in the future).
    But everyone use his time according to his value.

    Definitely, It might take some of the sting out if they changed it to give 5 star shards/iso when duping from arena, but it's super lame compared to the current state of things regardless.

    We will find out with the doc Oc arena

    Correct. When 6*s hit, 4*s will become the functional equivalent of 3* now. Nothing but arena fodder.
  • RebusUIRebusUI Posts: 45
    Well 4* are still relevant cause all the game contents currently can be completed by 4* exception of LOL.... and building up a good arena team is absolutely important... battle chips and they in turn get you units and gold... I normally do feature arena and get to 4 million playing 1.5 hours tops per day in arena grinding and I only play like 2-3 days out of the 4 days
  • Wiki9Wiki9 Posts: 71
    @RebusUI technically there are only 3 days, not 4 days for arena grind
  • Wiki9Wiki9 Posts: 71
    And 4*s wont be useless for a really long time... 3*s are still usefull too, not that I use em besides arena. If you watch seatin, he made a second account of him and is almost at Masstro woth just 3*s...
    If I can get uncollected with my current roster and beat a lot of other stuff, that means you can still use 4*s.
    And with the way Kabams making it, you have to dupe so many 5*s for just 1 6*... All I think is gonna change within the 1st year is that 4/40 and under 4*s are gonna be useless. I could beat Master and half of 5.2 with those guts. Now its just gonna be 5/50 4*s that are gonna be of some use...

    I haven't used a 3* in 2 years, I don't even rank them. So I don't understand how useful a 3* is to higher players like myself?

    6* aren't very attainable for a long time. 4* will still be used on defiense for a long time. Some 4* will help other players beat content in game. I think it's still a great thing to grind for 5* shards used to get 6* champions at some point and the 4* shards to get champs to beat content or to get more 5* shards from dupes

    How far are you in the game?

    Lots of people do the arenas to get Units and Units from battlechips..

    Act 4, Act 5, Master difficulty of monthly event quests, Road to the Labyrinth and Realm of Legends can all be beaten with 4*s. Therefore 4*s will never be worthless. Even Labyrinth can be complete with a 4* SL provided you are willing to spend lots of units to do it. So, don't go spreading false information that 4*s are worthless. It's a violation of the forum rules.

    Is it beatable with 3*s?

    Parts of Act 4 are easily beatable with 3*s: 3* Ronan for short path Venom in Act 4. Large chunks of quests in Act 4 with a duped 3* Scarlet Witch or duped 3* SL. You can still beat Realm of Legends using a 3* SL.

    Would be you happy winning 4* burning thousands Units? That's one point.
    And 5* Arenas should a fact, it's other point.

    What you say makes no sense. But typically only the 4* feature arena requires the use of constant refills to get champions. I think what the OP and @winterthur are referring to are basic champs which are easily attainable without using units.

    The basic arena too. Please don't try rewrite the recent history, neither the reality for one is the same for everyone.
    Many people was upset because the Android blackout screwed the whole refill and boosts invested for them. That's the reality.
    Preaching in the boards everyone is Batman, and it's plenty of people claiming 3* are useful because "they can" do rol, lol and whatever with it, but reality everyone (except the 0.1% with 500k) should burn items to do it, but many will not admit it because every kid should pretend they're pros masters.

    Reality is, 4* basics could be easily attainable for someone with 500k profile, but someone dying for grind 4* basics (specially now that 4* have been deprecated) is because is urging of 4* basics and will be far from the "easily" fairy tale.

    Sounds like you need to invest in your teams then. I average over 30,000 points per match in basic 4* arena using my 4/40s. Even more using my 5/50s.
