Rebalance the classic arena !

We do see a rise in difficulty in Arena and understand the current situation, but the present change wasn't the result of some massive bug but a result of players' activity in the game.

 Currently, we see a couple of obvious causes of this problem:

 1. Increase in arena activity as a result of tournaments. Which caused a rise in competitiveness and push for some of Gold IV players into the lower tier and, as a result, made promotion to gold tier itself harder. The chain reaction of this change made silver more competitive than ever. Everyone becomes better and stronger with time, and going through Arena helps us realize the weak points of our teams and improve. Our development team is working on flattening the curve of the difficulty spike.

Hello!

Roadmap - update - what happened to the roadmap i.e Void Tower

There will be a more detailed update on what we are working on and details on the Void Tower's current state in the near future. Stay tuned to our newsletter so you do not miss it.

Battlepass? When is this happening

Sadly, it is still undergoing testing, which involves gathering new data, so it is impossible to speed up the process any further. We will post any new information in our biweekly reports.

Duplicates? This is a longstanding issue raised by the player base. What is the plan to address this?

There are a couple of possible mechanics currently under consideration, but it continues to be a work in progress.

So once again you can spend a entire year playing. And still wont get any hero that your saving up for. Just like you wont get a single banner for a specific faction no matter how much energy you spend trying.

There is an RNG element to the game, so it is harder to get a specific banner or a character. Champion Fragments is a mechanic that will add a possibility for every player to obtain a specific character by gathering those fragments without relying on luck. However, gathering all 100 fragments will be a challenge.

If you narrowed the possible cause to the arena tournaments, why not remove them and restore the arena events.

While it is one of the triggers that caused the Classic Arena's current state, its removal may result in further complications. We are currently analyzing data and gathering details on all factors that contribute to the spike in difficulty to improve on arena matchmaking and not just temporarily delay the problem.

Have a nice day and stay healthy!

Hi again.

JOSLIN2 your post was deleted because it was in the incorrect topic. Such questions should be posted in Technical Support, Account Issues topic. Please contact our technical support team and further deliberate on the matter to resolve this issue.

I hope the situation will clear up shortly.
Have a good one.

Looks great! BUT PLEASE PLEASE BUFF THE USELESS LEGENDARIES THAT EXIST JUST FOR MEMES

Hi, I've been playing now for a little over three weeks and the only issue I've run into is classic Arena.   The progression mission for classic arena should either be removed or serious long lasting fixes be made to classic Arena.

The first fix is to program a bot that would lock players back out of classic Arena if they haven't taken part in any offensive matches for 7 days. When we were new players we couldn't do Arena.  Inactive players should just be locked back out of it if they aren't playing.

The second fix is to tier lock inactive players.If the hypothetical inactive player was EVER in gold or silver tier then they should just be locked into gold tier one or silver tier one.  Once again....a bot can do this Plarium doesnt have to pay anyone.

The third fix has been addressed above partly by not letting level 60 champs into bronze and locking those teams into silver tier one but I would go a step further by not allowing epic or legendary champs into bronze tiers and allowing no legendary champs into silver tiers.

surely plarium is getting sick of seeing the same comment fix the classic arena, can we get some sort of idea whats happening here in terms of the developers etc trying to sort the broken classic arena

i need to get back to gold 3 to keep the arbiter missions going, i was happily in gold 4 not far off plat then the change and bamn silver 1, ive been back into gold 1 then drop out again.

the current setup for arena needs fixing and should be at the top of the to do list because its so out of whack its not funny

There is a system in the game that locks out inactive players after a certain time passes. We are currently working on the acceleration of the process overall and additional rules for this system. However, we do not consider adding level lock into the Classic Arena.

The current state of the Classic Arena is not a result of a particular bug. This shift of the Arena difficulty caused by competition. So we are working on improvements in the Arena system overall, to resolve this issue and prevent its reappearance.

 The Arena related missions issue should be fixed after the difficulty curve is restored, but other options are also under consideration.

Have a nice day and stay safe.

some time i think all this arena clasic is bug :)

few minuts ago i was match, and wining, but... update. after update go fight  vs. same team with same team... and single oponent blow hit me with 480k dmg... prety nice lottery. nad ofc. lose. 

cuz of this is lottery, is prety not fun game.

and what kind of gensius... call it "new content" TAG areana is still arena, but jsut 3 meches in row. but even then is easier to lose :/

Bazar prices are prety nuts...

lets say i can win 10 set, 10 bars/win, mean 300 bars day...

24000 bars / 300 - is mean 80 perefect days to get one gold bar... mean gold shard. hmmm not worthy...

he when wrote this,  i lose vs. tem with 67k force (but with lissandra/kiel on  lv. 49) my tem 188k force :) nice balladce

Wow seriously you guys make all this big talk about character shards and then you go lock them to be character specific then you only offer one epic that has a better version available for fusion. Why not tie the character shards in to being faction specific and offer 13 different heroes one for each guild for a entire month but only allow 2 or 3 to be purchased. That way those of us who have only one or two viable candidates for a faction can start expanding their ranks to advance. For example my ogre faction has exactly 3 stars dwarfs have O while orc and 4 others are over 30. Why is this because I have 2 actually usable ogers and zero dwarfs besides a single bulwark

The Gold bars at the bottom of the screen in tiers for 3v3 is what you will receive at arena reset.

Also, we are aware of the increasing difficulty of the Arena related quests.

 There can be, and most likely are, some other reasons in recent difficulty spike, and we are working on identifying them, and applying practical solutions. Any change to the Arena will significantly affect it. Our development team is working on solutions that will improve our current balance and matchmaking for the Classic Arena.

I can add a significant cause to your list:  You made the Arena much more difficult with the OP rewards you gave the people who tested 3v3 Arena.  I made it to G3/G4 a couple of weeks before the 3v3 Arena test began, and I made it into G4 every week for 7-8 weeks straight, but when the 3v3 Arena test ended and all those active Gold Level Players returned with all of the Op gear you rewarded them with they kicked players like me out of G3/G4.  I have been stuck in G2 for weeks on end.  

I have been stuck at the Gold 4 Mission for 3-4 weeks now, and I do not see any way past it since I do not have any of the Top Tier Arena Legos to help boost my Tier.  I can win plenty of battles in G2, but I cannot make it out of the middle of the tier.

Super frustrating that this is keeping me from completing the Arbiter Mission since I spent so many weeks in G4 before I needed to be there, but now when I just need to make it there for one battle, I cannot even make it to G3.   

2.1 is again "nothing new".  Bazar pricing and restrictions prevent it from being something interesting to the "masses".  

I have a suggestion for the bazaar.  As has been pointed out, it is unfair to the lower level player to deny access to the higher rewards.  So why not reverse things?  Bronze players can buy all levels.  Silver players can only buy silver and gold.  Gold players can only buy gold.  High level players can still buy items needed at their level.  Lower level players will have an advantage which will help them make progress.  The only fear is that the high level players would intentionally delevel to bronze if they wanted bronze items.  But, in doing so, they will get far fewer gold bars per battle, which is a pretty strong disincentive.  

Plarium, I think that you forget around 99 % of your community with your news updates. Theses updates increase only the power of Platinum teams (best 300 players of Raid Shadow Legends) and make them invincibles. So, you reduce other players chance to reach theses levels. With the Souk system that you have estabilished, you reduce the chance of most player to obtains a lot of shards, by introducing level and cooldown systems. In addition, in team arena, the fights that you make give around nothing as gold bars. So, how do you want we progress in your game ?

Do you think that we will be interested to give you more money ? No, if we get angry, we stop playing your game et we choose another games like yours. Everyone want to play, but everyone have not money to spend in order to increase his winning chance. Plarium, you need new players and we need a game that respect us. So, stop doing useless updates and take care of all your community members. For example, you can help everyone to progress by increasing permanently chances to obtains best shards, but also by increasing permanently chance to summon the legendary champions. I think that you know what you can do to make your game more attractive. So, it is time to work for a good update which will make everyone agree with your pay to win game.
