Every one should start to right tickets about pvp !!

I just watched my helga steelgerdle get 2 shotted in bronze 4........she has 63k Hp and nearly 3k def. 

Not the highest you can get those stats but high enough that it should not be happening to me.

Arena is a complete mess. Not sure what changed but all the teams are way out of my reach now

Plarium keeps saying "players don't know what to do so they keep losing".

And just tested it again, higher power than me, but i got 7 points?

Does anyone know how it is calculated? Really frustrating that 2 wins can be wiped out by one loss

i

I have posted a fix for the arena problem please check Game dicussion for it, hope it helps

Thank you so much, i never noticed!! and i tend to start at the top and work my way down so it makes sense why i get poor points :)

As for the state of silver, well hopefully my logs show its not newbie teams there, and to be fair i win about 2/3 of the fights i start .. then get hammered in defence

My team has changed, its apoth (for speed boost), battlesage (aura and 50% attack up), draco (defence down and weaken) then zavia for the big nuke.

It would appear that is a strong bronze / weak silver team since i always wake up and find i have been hammered down close to bronze (i switch out draco for dhukk in defence since i think draco prioritises poison on auto) then spend ages working back up...its tiring and i am questioning if this is the game for me. Especially when i see people claiming 'you just arent trying' :) 

Or you could just lower you're player power by getting rid of all the champs and gear you are just keeping for the sake of keeping and all the opponents that will be drawn will be easier 

I could, i have a lot of faction war characters levelled to 40 - but it seems extremely cheesey to have to do that.

you only need 5 per faction, but if you're anything like me you prob have 20 or 30 per faction 

Wait, in B1 you are fighting kymar leads and all legendary teams with decked out mountain kings?

That is messed up, i can almost hold my own (i have a fast apoth at 250 speed, and draco has 250 accuracy and zavia has 4.5k attack and nearly 200 crit damage) but - i am still sinking out of silver slowly and not able to do the newbie quests

And yet we have people on here insisting we are making this stuff up (despite me posting logs) and that its just a matter of l2p.

Sad thing is when i do hit bronze, ill be yet another opponent that newbies have no chance against... 

Even simpler would be to have bots in bronze and silver - so people can do basic progression for newbie tasks

Gold and plat? sure make it competitive, and let plat stay whale/kraken land.

But the newbie tiers (bronze/silver) should not be full of full legendaries with 30% speed auras etc

However, you can guarantee plarium have analytics coming out of their ears, which are probably telling them that instead of quitting players are burning gems to refresh.

That will encourage them to keep things as they are.

There is definitely something wrong with the arena AND the Clan Boss.   One of my clansmen said he saw a team in the Bronze levels that had 300 power!  I went from Gold 4 where I have been for months to Gold 2 in a few days!  All my clan is frustrated.   You did such an awesome second anniversary,  to which I thank you.   But now,  most of my clan are pretty new to Raid,  and they are getting very frustrated.   I

Hope this is temporary.   You all have been awesome at making the game fun and interesting.   Please fix these areas. 

3-4 months ago, I have posted the main problem with arena, THEIR POINTS SYSTEM, TLDR it will put you in the rank relative to the number of people participating in arena, the more people participating the higher you can climb, less people then the lower the position you can get.

No amount of bots or matchmaking tweaks can fix arena UNLESS they fix the points system.

I haven't played this game for a solid 3 months now, but seeing my account is back in bronze 1 and how arena is still not fixed... I don't think I'll be getting back soon.

yeah, the funny thing is it seems like Plarium has serious issues understanding what the problem is.

Seems like they just throw more and more arena tokens at you through dailies, challenges, missions, etc etc as if that's going to fix it lol.

"What are you guys doing. Just play it!!! Here's an extra 1000 arena tokens, just fucking play it already!!! And if you lose, just git gud (by dumping more out of your pocket)"

Arena in this game is one of the most p2w things ever. They draw you with the amazing character design just to jab the hell out of you via microtransactions and loot box mechanics.

Plarium responded to hellhades

In a nutshell it was 'lolz spend more'

Gold Rank IV to Gold Rank I in a few days... I was Rank IV since on year. Very frustrating update. I think i will stop playing this paytowin. Worst update ever.

Come on J... You know that's not going to solve the problem.

Heroes optimization should not come into play so early in the arena, in Raid's case, it should not be a requirement for bronze rank, maybe Silver 3 and up, but bronze is supposed to be for beginners who start playing and have just start collecting their heroes... 

This is a problem, and by telling people in Bronze to optimize their heroes will only compound the problem not solve it.

And the fact that people can easily drop so drastically from gold 3/ 4to silver 1 (and maybe even further) is a sign that there is something really wrong no amount of player optimization can solve

Hey brother you know you and I see eye to eye most times

I agree with you in part

Yes I too have been in Gold 4 for long time holding  my own (pick and choose  my fights)

i actually made Plat tier for a day with the team I still use (and have upgraded their artifacts and glyphs since) but never returned to Plat

I notice Gold 4 tougher for sure (less easy fights to pick). But am now middle Gold 4 where before was top tier 4

Not sure what happened but will say yes Classic arena is tougher. I am still in my tier 4 gold but can appreciate how this impact may of dropped  other players from their tiers

I was in Gold 4 Now in Gold 2 and falling.
