Thoughts on New Arena Update

[Lou 1xxx]

So I do have a bone to pick about the arena. Ever since the new arena, I have not lost a single fight. Yes, I have let the timer run out on streaks because I didnt always feel like buying extra energy... but I feel like our match ups are deliberately easy. It gets slightly tougher at high streak values, but they are still way too easy compared to how things were in the arena.

I just wonder if arena is becoming a lot less about armor arrangement strategy/your knight strength and more about mindless clicking and refills?

This observation is not just from me. I had someone in my guiod win two 20 streaks in a row, and he is only level 80 something.

pay more to win more...

i give it 1 week to 2week, before it gets boring again.

The easiness is true. I've broken 6 steaks in a row. Its pathetically easy lol and I'm just barely over lvl50, ranked in the 40s and I'm still crushing people easily. Whatever though, fusion boosts for me.

I like the new arena, but 5-man Arena teams with a group point Leaderboard would have been awesome.

As it stands, I don't expect to see another 30% off AE for awhile & getting less than 20 wins in a row seemed like an immense waste...




Now I just have to wait for a black medal reward I actually want.

I want a maelstrom.... but I will settle for an abominable

Not bad I actually like it except for a FEW disgusting things Gree added.
7. I do like the fact it say's the Guild your enemy is in. AKA stay away from: BT, RR, WAR, SNL , etc
'

Cute that you mention the guilds that already know you for a scammer, and others that you applied to after this last guild war with your bogus point screenshot and leeched epic.

Also: for anyone that has run into him on line, he's impersonating me with various names: Road RBJ, Buster GS, BusteRRoad RBJ (note the misspelling), Dream Buster, etc... and asking for V1.62 of KnD, and trying to sell a "chest glitch" that he "knows". Current GM of Gemspenders.

If you are contacted by anyone like this, it is a fake.

Does anyone notice alot of time who ever you are fighting only has to wait 2 attacks then they can super? not just that but who ever you challenge seems to have a 99% hit ratio while you missed 4-5 times a fight.

i love the new layout, can you possibly make it fair though instead of severely handicapping the attacker.

[Shinae]

Yep lost few win streaks to misses. I should keep count about my miss rate vs opponent miss rate. Maybe it's not just feeling that I miss more often.

[honeypot]

ok here is what i got from the next 5 battles,

battle 1: first character missed 4 times in a row, last character 2 misses (6 misses 1 battle)
(no misses for opponent)

battle 2: 2 misses total second toon (1 miss opponent )

battle 3: 4 misses last toon (0 misses opponent)

battle 4: 1 miss first toon (1 miss opponent)

battle 5: 3 misses second toon, 1 miss third toon (1 miss opponent)

total: 5 battles, 10 misses for me, 3 for opponent

fix this nonsense, it's worse than your casino chests. its blatant and in our faces.

[Oxilated]

you guys are overacting, ive only gotten 5-10 misses in my 100 fights

[imTectonic]

You guys are overreacting I only miss 50% of the time

[Oxilated]

The streak rewards are + versions
Confirmed

i have a + version of glacier. got it on arena rewards
have 3 non+ version of crius before my 9th win
got a crius on my 9th win
now i have 3 non+ crius and 1 + crius.

It would be great if it wasnt for the fact that its for gemspenders.

Great rewards and a great reward system. Also high chances of getting keys has been needed for a a long time. I have gained almost 400 keys in 5-6 weeks. Over 120 enhancted keys and 210 silver keys ect. The new update is a great way of getting more keys and it should not be needed to spend gems - This is something that has to be changed.

As a free player I'm getting a lot more fusion material from the new arena than the old, and that can only be good. The longer recharge on energy also suits me, as I couldn't log in every 75 minutes to use my arena energy anyway. I used to get into the top 1500, but in recent weeks have not had the time or inclination, and am more a top 10,000 player.

Free or paying, the vast majority of players will be getting vastly more fusion material. The arena was always about providing fusion material, so I much prefer the new system. I feel more like I'm competing with myself to hit a target now.

I'm not seeing any lag or other issues that are being reported, it's all working fine for me.

It would be great if it wasnt for the fact that its for gemspenders.

Funny. That comment seems to apply on any of the following categories:
Arena leader board
Epic Boss leader board
Guild War leader board

Maybe I'm not getting something? LOL

[shush]

I like the new Arena, just the new streak timer is BS.

Take it out and its good.

Its still a wallet comparison, like the guild wars, and not a real competition, what i have hoped for.

But its better than the old Arena.
