Worst thing that could happen with the game... I hope this is just a preparing to the 1st April joke...

Good its gonna be worth going for Plat arena. (im not one of them)

However the timing of announcing this is poorly managed. You got a huge problem in the community currently and Plarium decides to only acknowledge 300 whales.

Dear Plarium,

Are you guys serious??????

You literally try hard to destroy this game, and you accomplish it.

I hope you won't release it, otherwise, game is over.

Just some advice.. go check your clients (us) messages at discord general channel. 

Thanks for naming the new parry set after me :)

These people think CB keys are a reward, even tho for most people in top clans, they are useless if we can’t clan jump to use them...oh yeah, you plan to kill those opportunities too.  Now they give top players gear that will create a gulf between growing accounts and top tier.

What next, acid in our eyes to help us see better?  How about lowering dungeon drop rates to help us develop character.

Seriously? Big spiel about an update after the update we don’t yet have and waisting our time reading something that will never apply to most of us. Why not start a seperate chat room for whales only and not make the rest of us feel left out

apart from underlining the elephant in the room, that is the teasing of 1.13.5 without even publishing  1.13, let's remind everyone that this is a game for whales. people have been complaining about the pathetic rewards of arena chests for months now and what plarium does is make it so that only the top 300 platinum whales actually get some improved rewards (with the sets actually being OP). and all that at a time when the community is at a raging mode. 

Since you know in advance which players reaches the top of the whale pyramid, just give them the stuff right away instead of throwing this information into the face of the other 99% who aren't able to reach Platinum Tier, 'cause it's nearly impossible to get there without running a $ mine.
It's quite unfortunate that you're boosting the strong even more and let the rest, again 99% of your playerbase, fall behind, oh and more avatars which mean just cosmetics, to gift only to people who're spending like crazy is the next slap in the face of your playerbase (99% if I haven't mentioned it before).

So let me get this straight plarium, we ask for better Gold 4 chests, because I can end up 20 points away from platinum and end up with an uncommon 5 star divine life flat rate hp boot, and instead ignore them and give better chests to the platinum tier, that already was getting better gear than the rest of us. You then also create 2 new sets of gear, which are incredibly over powered just from looking at them, which will only be available to the top 300 players (and for 24.99 USD whenever you make them a sales product, because you will, don't even think about lying about that as well). You release this info while we are still waiting for 1.13 (which will only be a couple of unit buffs and whatever battle pass is because you refuse to tell us about it) which should have been out in friggin October of last year, and because the development team is so horrible they can't even admit to their own faults and force the community manager's to take all the yelling that is meant for them?

Seriously Plarium, shame on you. Are you incapable of learning from your mistakes, or are you just that short sighted that you're willing to let the game wither and die for a couple extra hundred today?

...what about fixing Gold IV chest? I Just dropped TWO 4 STARS items. How the hell do you think a Gold IV player could need 4 stars items??? And Plarium, you have a really noce game, you are doing a lot of mistakes and you know it (you say it in every discord post, "we know the real problema and we will fix it", like free legendaries to youtuber and the rest of the shot).

New, unique, avatars are a great idea, that are cosmetics cool to have but not game breaking. AT LEAST extend that cheats to all Platinum players. Not only the first 300. So maybe also f2p are enticed to pay a little or to engage more in order to reach Platinum tier.

In this way you will lose all your community.

if you make the sets accessible to everyone it would be great. and that's the key: treat all players equally.

maybe you should rethink certain decisions and not head through the wall. please dont kill the game. 

are you serious? another teaser before any release and its a completly exclusive one from which only 300player (out of like 50k?) will profit from?

Avatars - awesome idea. give those at the top some braging rights.

but gear? this is stupid. people who manage to be now in plat will stay there forever if they can get another advantage over all others. its only getting harder and harder. you have to make the platinum field a bit broader then 300 players. maybe something like top 1-10 % of players in gold 4 or top 3000 players or something like this.

i think its cool that the top 300 get something more special like avatars and books and shards but they should not get exclusively this overpowered gear.

also there are so many possibilities to cheat/ help each other to stay at the top so that top 1-3 /4-20 are meaningless because players will boost each other on mondays (taking turns) and loose many battles in a row on purpose to give the other some defense wins.

big clans like [GNL] will surely abuse this and push a different one of their members into top 3 every week.
