What do u get from 36 arena crates... 72 chances???

[Bigboyblue]

I have to say Candy is truly hitting the nail on the head here. STS spent many months developing this new zone and players have no reason to play it. They even did a test server for this thing lol. Then it comes out, demands tons of pots and ankhs to complete and the loot is worthless pink junk. Why spend all this time on an arena that no one wants to play!!

Something needs to be added to the arena drop table to make it worthwhile. I for one have not even stepped foot inside it. I don't want to spend the money or time on something that yields no payback. I'll go in once it's simple and cheap to complete or actually has drops that are worthwhile.

You learn from your mistakes. It's takig a while for STS to learn

[Kakashis]

I knew to give up arena after running it a few times. Sharingan says scam!

Let's rest for now

[ueveotadeo]

What sucks so much is all the excitement made around arena and ankhs for all the disapointment.

PVE is sooooo booooring right now as it has been for sometime now and Arena was suposed to change that with the promise for a possible Fossil loot and Ankhs and everything else.

Arena is fun to run, right ammount of challenge, but no reward at all, a big gold sink....

So we are left with the ankhs, I'm a plat buyer, so ankhs have make no huge difference on my playing but I realy thought that it was a great idea, non-plat buyers would be able to revive on the more challenging bosses during elite runs making everyones life better. Well, paying 80k to revive 25 times is not so achievable to most of the players specially with the amount of gold you can make right now through farming.

I know ppl will hate me for that, but i rly think ankh seller should be a NPC, like the guy with the rich ppl vanities and with a litle more accessible price. With the price that the lockeds are selling, the loots from Elites not to mention the "Arena Loots", 80k might be a litle expansive right now.

And we all are forgeting the Vials....I only run elites, and I never saw one dropping...they really exist? Or just an Arcane urban legend?

[Candylicks]

I think it was Sam who said in cb that the vials are now dropping correctly and are set to the population running the elite maps. Does that make sense? I don't code so not really sure how that works ..

My guess is more traffic more vials drop.

[Chrisaetoshawker]

We keep talking about the same thing again again again again again again again again and.......again

[Azasaof]

Everyone is commenting on Fade's voice, so I think I will too. Nice voice, Fade!

[Chrisaetoshawker]

Imagination, gotta dream xD
Ill meet all of you there

[Sorcerie]

Planar gear is pretty but not worth it's flash in stats or gold, epics are LOL, fossil is extinct, ankhs are too expensive for the current market economy, and elite tindirin is currently a tiresome grind for elite gear that most players don't really need anymore.

Dark times in AL, dark times indeed.

Halloween can't come fast enough, the game is at a stand still.

[Bless]

Oh? I thought they were very common. In four crates, I got 2 pinks - sold for 400k

[GoodSyntax]

It's only possible if the drop rate is dynamic, which I don't think is the case right now.

I think he meant that given their statistics on runs and the number of drops that they've logged, the drop rate is what they consider to be appropriate.

For my lovely southern accent man...

Iol. after getting my first arena chest and then happily went to auction for selling only to know it is untradable.
darn that feels.
then opened and got epic.
I quit.
waiting for Halloween now.
why waste time and gold here? LOL

[lowratehitman]

Lol you guys expect to get fossil just like that...I don't want people with nekro all over the map because they let players to have more chance on getting a fossil ....nekro is op already we don't want everybody having it...if that ever happen rich player well use that advantage on their twinks and end gamers in PvP and more players well complain about this op pet

We don't really care about the fossil odds (though it'd be nice to know of one looted), what the problem is that ALL Planar loot is essentially worthless. In arena chests your odds at getting something worth over 5k gold is extremely low. We arent complaining about low fossil rates, we are complaining about the lack of something worthwhile to farm.

Yes you are totally missing the point of this thread. We LOL fossil and don't really care, it's something none of us expect to ever see in our lifetimes. It's the totally worthless planar loot and inability to at least cover the cost of potions when we run Arena. We aren't looking to *get rich* off Arena, simply be compensated and maybe make a little gold here and there as we run it. We have had countless threads on this, and Fade was simply putting into a video what we all are experiencing.. that the arena chests are horrible and it's mostly blue crappers.

Our solutions:
(1) make the planar gear stats better and close to current mythics
(2) add egg or rare vanity into the loot table
(3) slightly increase fossil drop rate
(4) add ankh kits inside the arena chests

I mean any or all of these would work. It's a shame this beautiful designed arena that players won't enter because they can't afford to run here.

[Bornof1000Kings]

It would be awesome if they would just put some type of chance for an exclusive vanity in the chest. Give us a gold juggernaut or demonlord vanity or something cool like that, it would be a hot item and would sell instantly in auction. Even just an alternate gladiator vanity would probably work I guess. An egg would be an ok idea but most have been farmed to heck and have had their values drop considerably the past month or so; just doesn't seem like there are many pets that need to drop in another area unless it's something crazy like Talon or one of the elite Tinidrin eggs. I think we have our answer, though; just sit on our hands and wait for Halloween.

I've gone from wanting to play several hours a day during the events to logging in for 30 minutes just to check in with guild and look for stuff in auction and then logging out. It's really a shame how slow the game has become.

[notfaded1]

Exactly... I'm glad some people are getting why I saved up the arena chests for... to show what came out of them. Candy and Ralchior get it... the loot needs to be fixed. All that development work for it to sit empty except for a few of us die hards that will run it anyway since it's the most challenging thing to do right now despite the fact that it costs you way more to do then you will ever get back in return. This makes it a shame really. I really do like it minus the loot problems.

[Aslanx]

Nekro should be competitive with SnS, at least its farmable, even if very hard.

um, no it shouldn't
