arena is a joke at the moment... I know i can't get further than rank 5000 and the rewards s*ck so i don't even bother with arena anymore. Yeah just to finish quests... Thats it

The rewards are already better ALOT compare to last time.
Bronze are quite easy to get if u play regularly, without spending gems, and u can get rewards like 20gems each week with fusion stones.

[KOA]

Yeah, tournament rewards are much better than the damage leaderboard rewards for the epic boss.
Unless your ranked top 25 in the epic boss tournament, the rewards are completely pointless...

Yes, Bronze is not out of reach if you are 8x onwards. It can be done but depending on your armor setup it might take a lot of slogging. It gets tiring trying to keep up after a while.

yep even the top ribbons are pretty good, for enhance mats :cool:

Heh, looks like it took rank 150 in the Arena on Android before my Arena team's lvl50 AA+ couldn't carry my lvl13 Rageborne Raiment and lvl17 Monk's Vestments any more...

So based on those 2 decidedly "meh" armors which I've not been upgrading in more than a week, I guess on Android anything worse than Ribbon 1 is: "you're a newbie", "you didn't play Arena much this tournament" or "you failed"...


(and now I get pitted against Punishment/dd_knights in the Arena and my team gets 4-shot... -_- )

[Epon]

I'm really annoyed that I can't finish this Tournament quest because I am never given opponents within 50 points of my rank.

[Roark]

Android post, feel free to disregard

finding arena more like I was accustomed to, I guess it's simply because I am playing more but I'm hovering around 15th or 16th place without buying any AE

I can't help but wonder if some people were banned

[Grruumm]

Agreed. After a strange couple of weeks it seems ok again, for whatever reason.

[D3athShade]

Yup, same here... Pretty frustrating

[Lieda]

Yup, same here... Pretty frustrating

Oh my so I wasnt alone on this? I havent finished quest yet, in fact im not e even caring much for arena, but i get sooooo random people, sometimes 0 rank people ...

[Epon]

Yeah, I'd love to know how the program determines your opponents. My daughter and I are both in ribbon 2, I get opponents up in the bronze medal area, she gets opponents within a few places of her own rank.

[D3athShade]

Nope you're not alone, and what pisses me off is, i never get closer to players then 500 positions of me =/

At least on Android, I think clearing the cache (settings -> apps -> Knights and Dragons -> clear cache (_not_ clear data!) got the server to refresh the list of opponents to one more closer to my own level. It didn't get there immediately, but it did AFAIK get me people in the correct range within a few series of matches.

@Roark: oh, that's 100-150 places ahead of me. (Bronze is problably unreachable with my current setup of armor.) Sent you a friend request; my forum name without the underscore.

[Unresolved]

I'm usually paired with people 60 ranks behind me. I wish it was more because I'm pretty weak for my rank, so I lose a lot :p.

What is the legendary armour given out for top spot this round? Is it ever the + version?

[deathexe]

What is the legendary armour given out for top spot this round? Is it ever the + version?

No +versions so far for any arena rewards since I've started playing.

[Ashnagarr]

Even if you get people that are in between +/- 50 of your rank, it doesn't count. The rank display in the arena is just not updated perfectly in real time (at least for me) - the last victory for example is never reflected in my rank, only if I manually check the leaderbord the rank updates.

I guess the same is true for all your opponents showing, so this makes it even more difficult to find someone, because its basically luck if they are still within 50 ranks when you start the match.

I believe that is Mountain Vine. At least thats what Sir. told me.

If you start getting opponents within your rank to "manually refresh" you can just kill the app and go back in. I remember Beth saying that looking at the leaderboard ranking also refreshes your list but it doesnt work for me :/

[Epon]

Yeah, I've refreshed my opponent list many times, and still can't get someone in my rank. I only need one more and its really frustrating to be close, yet so far.

Will I still get the new tourney quest if I don't finish this one?

[EljayK]

Will I still get the new tourney quest if I don't finish this one?

Yes you will. I once didn't finish the current tourny quest and was given the new one. If I remember right, though, I did lose the old tourny quest when the game restarted after the update.

[Ashnagarr]

Yeah, can confirm that. If the new tourney starts, you will loose your old quest but get the new one. At least that's how it was for me in the past as well.

[Epon]

Hopefully the new tourney quest is something I can actually have some control over. Just annoying when I have no ability to do the quest because of the program, not because I just couldn't get wins or something.

[Musketeer]

I find my opponent list refreshes every 5-10 minutes, so if I'm on a doubledown run and can't find someone I'm confident I can beat I just wait a bit.

I found that third quest really annoying too, it took 3 days to score my first recognised kill. After that I got lucky and knocked off the other four quickly.

[Epon]

Ok, I just beat my 5th opponent within 50 and didn't get credit for the quest. I know we were within 50 the whole time because I had my daughter's ipad right beside me and I double checked ranks before and after the fight.

Submitting a ticket.

im sure this has been asked...but im in the upper 500s for ranking. and once in a blue moon i run into a guy who was basic water armor. like the COMMON one u make with 300 gold. i dont get how some of these guys r ranked this high. do they simply get that high and switch to lower armor for wahtever reason?? and yes they are also ranked in the upper 500s.

is it hacks? wondering how these weaker guys r in the upper leaderboards

Some players switch to weak armor in the hopes of getting Revenge fights that they can easily win. It may also be a hack or a bug.
