It's 1 LA win for 50 energy, not the end of the world. You don't HAVE to do it LOL

As I said in a previous post, "....Live Arena update is typical Plarium tone-deaf pursuit of their agenda for their game without regard for what the Player Base may think or want....sounds about par for the course."  

After almost 5 yrs of playing Raid, I have come to expect nothing else.     

As for bot teams in Live: 

If you lose three consecutive fights in Bronze & Silver Live Arena, you will get a bot team that you should be able to beat.

If you lose three consecutive fights in Gold, you will wait for 60 seconds for the game to realize that there are no bot teams in Gold, then it will exit, and make you start the search again.

180

50 for the quest, 130 for completing all the daily advanced quests.

Its not merely adding a live arena quest.  Its the addition of this to the stupid tag arena and the hydra quest.

Why? Why are they forcing people into game play? Especially when Plarium knows they are disliked parts of the game.   I tried LA. I believe I'm stalled at 1300 points (the game doesn't let me fall Abby further). I throw a key at it every once in awhile.  Still don't like it. 

Remind me again why i should stick with a game which forces me to play the parts of it i don't like? 

Quadruple Upvote for a rotating reset for all competitive game modes, as well as a rotating schedule for tourney start/end times.  

95% of all tourneys end in the middle of the overnight for all US/Canadian Players.  If you are going for a win, it is always the same countries that are awake and active and the same countries that have to stay up all night to not get sniped at the last minute.  

Not for Kane :) lol

But to be fair its just as likely to happen with someone you beat.  And this could actually get worse with the expanded hours.  Maybe I'll start getting to fight myself a couple times per day again lol

Yeah, my suggestion for that issue is that you shouldn't get rematched against someone in the same day, certainly not multiple fights in a row.

Side note:  What do you think of Kharnage?  I see you are picking him frequently, at least in those fights?

I won't get him until the next rotation, but I have not had anyone pick him agaisnt me in Live yet...kinda surprising, unless he isn't as good as originally advertised? 

He's excellent. Difficult to build for though.

I originally had him as high acc for his form 1 debuffs, but i wasn;t happy with damage, so I rebuilt him in lethal with somewhat less speed and acc but a ton more crit damage.

[Edit: to clarify, it was the ignore defense that really made the difference]

For live arena, he's mainly to shift to form 2 and use his a3, which blocks revive if they have 3+ debuffs

Pair him with someone who has an acc buff, like horsey or mikage

Right now he's also the star dps of my NM hydra team, but it's still a work in progress

Reading his kit, I thought he might be a rockstar for Hydra damage.  

I was up to rank 1800 before I quit playing live arena now I think I am back down to 1200, it sucks worse than that tag arena and that is saying something. Your PVP is broken, admit it and actually make the changes people want. Here is a an idea for you. Ask the players what they think is broken about it and fix it. 

Let me prove a point, there used to be a game on FB called marvel alliances, it ran a lot of the same way this game does and after three years of players telling them to fix the pvp, and them ignoring the players they shut down there servers and now make no money off the game. Players get tired of being ignored and start looking for new games when the old ones fail them. Take it from me I have been playing online games since they first came out. Along with other games before even the atari 2600 came out. Just look into it and make some much needed changes before other games come out and everone shifts to those other games.

I remember when City of Heroes launched.

Players were *encouraged* to check out stuff being worked on in the test server and give feedback. And sometimes changes were made as a result of that feedback, *before* pushing it live.

That would be a sensible approach. 

Plarium is thinking in other ways: We open a test server for CCs as a marketing tool...no need to initially look for bugs or suggestions.

When are you going to fix annoying bugs like the chat constantly switching away from clan chat and the red dot on seige being permenantly there.  These cannot be complex bugs to fix, but they are seriously annoying as players.

No need to fix bugs that are found *before* it goes live, either 😋

If you read the updates, they've already fixed it 3 times.

Gotta work eventually right?

...right?

😋

I know that I don't have to do it, did you read my post?

Btw. it's 180 energy.

Hi there!

We're working to fix these issues you mentioned and get everything running smoothly as soon as possible. Turns out, that pesky red dot is a bit more stubborn than we thought - it just doesn’t want to say goodbye that easily.

Thank you so much for your patience. We'll keep you all updated on the progress and any upcoming fixes. 

Please focus on hydra AI and serpent will adjustments, those of us that actually play the game could care less about trivial red dots and such. 

Thank you!!
