  • Solo arena - now paying for something that used to be free.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, the patch has only been in for a day, but I noticed the following:

    - Arena attempts reduced from 20 to 10 per day
    - Arena rewards exactly the same as previously
    - You can now BUY the additional 10 attempts you used to get for free
    - Attempts start at 2 balens and go up in increments of 2

    So now I have to pay 110 balens for something that used to be free. Really? There isn't already enough ways the game can squeeze maximum amounts of cash from us already. Pretty poor form if you ask me.

        I like the reduction of 30 but 10 is cutting it too short. As for balen for more attempts I dont see how anyone would pay for that. Even at 2 balens is it really worth the limited insignia and xp? we will just wait for guild battle. On another note s459 a newer server is not happy. We have now missed two scheduled guild battles due to maintenance

          Ah.... Solo arena was 20 duel attempts (Now 10), and Group arena was 30 (Now 15), so you might be talking about wrong thing there :P

            Worst part about the MPA change is losing cross server pvp points because of less attempts the insignia was raised yes, but the cross server points wern't. granted BG is a better place to farm that but regardless you're losing (let say magically you won every attempt today) 150 cross server points per day.

                15 x 15 =/= 150.

                I agree wholeheartedly with your expression of disappointment at losing the opportunity for those cross server pvp points. Would be nice if those got doubled along with the insigs. Funnily enough, the double reward/halving attempts hurts with the card set bonus in arena, which is +3 insigs per fight. So with 30 fights you get 90 extra insigs, whereas now you only get 45 extra insigs. That's a theoretical loss of 50%. I demand compensation! Clearly I'm joking about comp, 45 insigs won't break the bank.
