Hi Devs, just wondering if you're going to reset arena times from
the OLD arena. My "personal record" in arena is still showing as my time from the old one.
The updates are great! Prox curse is still hitting really hard though. I died instantly in one and every attempt I made to revive was instant death bc the person with prox curse was still standing there. I just gave up and did the free options and waited until they were done.
Also, now that we are almost done with regulating the difficulty we need to improve the loot's worth. 25 ankhs are now costing approximately 80k which equals about 3.2k gold PER REVIVE. In a normal arena run, an experienced player will die three times or more, which is 10k+ gold per run!
How exactly are the scarce 2k Shade mails and Noble helmets paying back for this? Not to mention the nonexistent odds for Gladiator gear that comes *only* through the Master Chests and *only* if you're lucky enough to not roll useless Architect gear in its place. And even Gladiator gear itself is not worth for anything but collection or looks - statistically it's slightly inferior to the cheap Ancient Druid gear from Ursoth's Assault that you can still get for maximum 50k per set from the auction!
No one is going to keep running arena chasing the 0.05% fossil chance which is no longer a direct drop. Gladiator gear needs a buff and it needs it fast (eg. increase the armor given and keep the 150 HP/MP gain from Druid sets). Give us something that's worth farming for!
New elite gear stagger? As it is Magma helms and armor are worthless. Getting a parchment is probably worth more than a magma.
Honestly, a new helm and armor in elite and a new bow/gun/sword & board in arena would be a very nice complementary piece. Finally a new amulet or ring in the arena chests (and chance of fossil) would make it all worth running again!

Yeah the scale for new arena is a joke two bad azz rogues a mage and me couldnt even come close to beating anything over 6k hp and dead in one hit pffft get real and barely did crap dmg to the boss
+1
StS putting two drops in arena chests does nothing but clog our inventory with junk. The drop rate of Planar is too low, the stats aren't any better than Magma, and the fossil is much like the shard in EGD .. a joke. We love the content, you did a beautiful job creating the Arena for us. It's amazing. But we can't go broke playing in there, so now let's fix this.
My suggestion is slightly different than Kali. Increase the stats slightly on Gladiator gear, they are worse than Magma. Increase the drop rate as well. And, add in one more thing from those arena chests. How about an egg? What about a rare vanity?
Then go back for elites and increase the stats on the magma weapons. So then we have a reason to play both areas. And legendary players will be able to farm some gear that they can use to play arena!
Thanks for listening, hope to see some changes soon. Arena is good time!!!!
I think everyone should get an elite master chest at the end even if you die at the final boss.. not everyone can afford ankhs. You put in all the effort and because you are unable to revive using a payment method you can't get a chest?
That doesn't make sense to me.
I know people do leech, but they are a small minority compared to the people that work their buns off and in the end get the short end of the stick.
Definitely! Taking away those 14g from whoever died at the final boss is just horrible!
Loot still sux. All night arena for ......
Shade,architect, and blues
Gg.
I agree the gladiator gear is rather worthless except for looks. And it only comes in one color so type doesn't even matter.
If the gladiator gear had come in 4 colors like demonlord, magma, bloodhammer, etc then at least all the types would sell. As of now the worst versions are all that may sell and only for looks since the stats aren't good on them.
Add the red version originally shown, plus blue and green versions (with the black one out now) and they will sell even with the bad stats.
Just from a collectors point of view anyway.
I disagree with this 100%
Ill tell u a short story....yesterday i entered arena with pugs, 2 tanks and 2 rogues all 4 of us had a quick conversation on wether or not we all had anks.....
Yes this is a must have conversation if going to do arena since the boss resets if everyone dies at the same time.
All 4 of us said yes we do have anks, me and 2 others killed the first boss without ever dieing at all, the fourth,a rogue died and respawned at start and said oops wrong click.
So we started second boss, same person died and respawned at start, meanwhile the remaining 3 of us were dieing and reviving using anks/plat
after the second boss was dead we asked the fourth person to leave since they dont have anks and having a fourth person only makes the bosses harder.....especially when its only 3 of us fighting......
In the end 3 of us defeated all 4 bosses while the fourth person was laughing at us saying ya im a leech/mooch so what....im not leaving.
After the fourth boss was dead this rogue, polak something or other walks in to the arena expecting a crate....i said haha justice was served you get nothing.
leeches deserve nothing.
In all reality i wish there was a vote to kick option so if 3 of us agreed to kick the fourth from the zone we should be able to.
