Sylph Arena points

[anynicknamenottaken?]

Can someone explain me how can I reach even golden group now? And how to get more than 55 points per fight now

[Wraithraiser]

Well just wait 1-2 weeks for the amount needed to go down, as is I doubt anyone will get higher ranks.

The points are now set by the number of positions above yours the opponent is, not their points, so total points are going to be much lower going forwards. You'll just have to wait for next week to have a shot at the top levels, since it ain't happening this week.

Am i the only one that see a problem on that?

I suspect the Elite-Types (with their 400k+ Sylph Teams) were complaining about lesser teams finishing ahead of them consistently. By creating a rank-based advancement system instead of a point-based one it means they should always be able to be ahead at the end of a day, and don't run the risk of getting buried by not being logged in Sunday Night / Monday AM to use the new week's attempts when they're available.

The existing system was fairly easy to manipulate by always using one's attempts from 12:30 AM Server Time until about 2:00 AM Server Time on max-reward fights. It would prevent one from being buried when one took the 5-min to log back on the following morning and do another one or two battles for max points.

For those super-sylph-teams that weren't able to log in after a Sunday Night rewards again until say Noon on Monday, they were so buried that it would take them 2 days just to get out of Iron Group and they were never able to catch the leaders through the week. This update will prevent that.

I don't think they have reached 200k regardless,it ought to be optimized

The problem with the new points system is NOT ranking, but the minimum points required to get into each group for weekly rewards.

Silver group requires 2332, Gold group 5834, Diamond group 10733.

You could only compete 70 times a week, assuming you NEVER miss a single battle.

Unless there are always some targets that could give you 154 points every time, I don't see how you could manage to get into diamond group. And the weekly rewards aren't better than before.

Before this "optimized" points system, I at a minimum got into Gold group on Fridays. Now it is Friday & I'm still stuck half way in Silver group!!! Thank them for the nerf. I'd just do 1 sylph arena per week just for the minimum reward. Quick & easy for me.

R2 dont want us to get many free items thats why.. i cant even get to gold group now.. i somtimes get 1 win = 20 points ***..

[SlowPlay]

To those complaining about not being able to reach gold/diamond, next week u'll be able to or worse case in 2 weeks, point required to reach diamond/gold/silver/iron are based on previous week rank so probably everyone should reach diamond next week. (i think the 1st week after pet arena was there we needed like 7k point to be on diamond).

Dw, i already found a way to "cheat" the system (and guess many other will figure out) and get more point just by being more online.

[R238423534]

I doubt the points are based on previous week, if sylph arena is same system as player arena it isn't (or at least it doesn't appear to me that it does).

As for the "cheat", you can always change your sylph team. It works for solo arena as well, if you just want more EXP for your active sylph. That says it all.

They are. Early on after the cross server sylph arena was added it was bugged on some time zones and didn't reset 1 week, so people in diamond had 20k+ pts, and week after diamond was impossible because pts were based on previous week. So yes, after a week maybe two at the latest after this change the requirements will/should be much, much lower.

• Optimized the point system for the Sylph Arena.

why did every time r2 said they gonna "optimized" something, its always something bad?

[GM_Magik]

This is the same for all players across the board and it has been reported. I am a player too and in that same exact boat so I can understand the frustration. I know the fix is being worked on and hopefully should be sooner then later, but sadly it looks as if this weeks kind of lost and for that I am truly sorry.

The first time it was optimized to cross server it was actually good for once

the fix ? they won't do anything. as other posts explained, they will just wait for the ranking point for each level to update.
it's the problem with Wartune, they don't play their game (we had many proof) so they don't realize what will happen when they change a part.
