Hello,

New player here : 2-3 weeks, playing non stop, and just get to level 50... Live arena open, and I decide to try it... What a waste of time... fought mostly outleveled players or bot... Get wasted by outspeeding team, some nearly oneshoted me... I have only 1 level 60 and a bunch of level of level 50... not enough money to max low level artefacts and push a 6 stars to level 16 cost 1/10 of my hard earned money...

Completely disgusted by this and the fact that area bonuses are locked behind this crap mode...

JPR out!

At level 52, I only find people at level 70 and above. I lose almost every arena match, but I keep climbing because you don't lose your rating, so instead of playing at low bronze, I'm climbing to silver and will find even stronger opponents. I think it's one of the most senseless systems I've ever seen, so I've resigned myself to it and simply stopped playing.

The funny thing is that the matchmaking is so terrible that I lost an arena with a level 100, and in 5 seconds I queued again and met him again. Perhaps whoever created this system should ask themselves a couple of questions and come up with some answers.

i'm 3966 and just paired with a 14k rating.  how come i'm never paired with a 1?  not that i'd want to be but it is less of a difference than what 4 out of 5 battles i'm in are.  every time i get between 3955 and 4000, it's match after match of me just hitting the x because i'm going against people spending their kids college money on a game.

are the wait times really that much longer than it takes to go through the rigamarole of fighing someone over double my rating?   i'd rather have the wait time.  it's less time.

Its nice to see that a thread about this game being unfair and stupid is still alive.  Plarium advertising works to hit their target audience.

Live Arena was released on 4/18/23. This thread started 5 days later on 4/23/23. Fairly safe to say that there has been an active LA Gripe thread within the top couple of pages for the entire 3.5 years since.

Also a pretty safe guestimate that 35%-50% of new Forum vistors are people that come solely to vent/ bitch about LA.

TBH, I wouldn't have guessed that it had been that long.

That LA has been open?  3 years flies by apparently

When you are having so much "fun", time just slides on by.
