[Announcement] Second Arena Time Coming Soon

[Stormaggedon]

First it was the World Clock, you wanted it, we made it happen. Then you wanted it smaller, and we did that too.

Next week, we’ll be adding in a second Arena time.

We’ve had a number of requests asking for the second time slot, and we’re happy to announce that we will be making that wish come true. The second Arena time will be introduced approximately September 20th. The time slot for this second Arena will be from 7:00 PM to 8:00 PM server time.

The Insignias from the Arena will be changed from 6/2 (win/lose) to 3/1(win/lose). We decided to do it because we felt doubling the amount of insignias a player could receiver per day would be too unbalancing.

We here at R2Games want to let you know that we are listening to your suggestions, and concerns for the game and that we are working to bring improvements forward.

Nice. Glad to see that Storm. Should calm down some of the natives

Any chance you can change it back to 6/2 insignias, but make it so that a player can only participate during one "team arena time" per day?

I agree to this and how about adding a second time slot for the Battleground too? Lots of people miss this event in our server.

If we could have, we would have, but that wasn't an option we could work with at this time. However, future major updates to the game could always necessitate a change, so we'll have to wait and see.

Add a second time slot for battleground too thanks

[WrenBoh]

ooh so now we are 3/1 on 3v3 but we can now compete in 4 different battleground sessions. I actually like this better.

please dont , 3/1 win/lose is good or 4/2 would be good too :P ... easy farm on insignia will make most player can use high rank honor medallion everytime ...
the time for this 2nd arena was good for asian

[Nate.Eril]

Its well balanced tho. by 3/1 for other players whos time is not same as the server. LIKE GMT / EST

[OMGhardname]

How about adding a different time for Battleground also? Though right now there are 2 times for Battleground but its just next to each other. My guild mates can't join this event and right now it's the only way to gain Honor thus they're bound to be 0 honor unless a new time slot is added. Try considering this too.

[newzombie]

I agree but I think the second battleground from 14:00 to 15:00 will better for all. Too many asian miss this event.

oh great so everyone that doesnt have all day to be online just got big old "*edit* you"
lovely... and still no word about fixing matching in arena so you dont end up fighting same teams 3 times in a row ?

[R22950440]

You talk about dropping the amount of insignias was necessary to balance things out. That works 2 way you know. Not everyone can do both arenas, so you've just cut their intake by half. How is this fair to them? You should have left it the way it was, but made it so people could only enter 1 a day. (You know add a checker like the catacombs has, you can't run that anymore then the game allows and the arena could have been set up the same way)

The way it's currently done is just a big middle finger to those of us who can't make it to both. That's 3 things I can't do on here now due to their times... ( The 3rd world boss happens several hours after I go to bed, same with the battlefield, and now the 2nd arena. I think it's about time to leave this game and find something better)

[hoangdaiakk]

i think this change can make this game goes broken , nobody want this change . why dont you change the battleground time instead of arena . this maybe better

[grayhatter]

Actually, a lot of people wanted this change.

Now lets ask for a second battleground! Since we all love and enjoy battleground so much. haha



However, I have to agree that 3/1 insignia rewards is a bit flawed.
While a 6/2 times 2 might be imbalanced, 3/1 still makes it imbalanced for people that work and cannot join the first one.

So the rational option would be to restore the 6/2 reward and limit it for a player to only be able to join one arena event.
