Beta PVP Arena! Let's feedback here~*

[konstifik]

I noticed that on the defense tab, where you see who has attacked you, it doesn't show what ranking they have. The ranking is something one would like to know when deciding whether to retaliate or not. On the other hand, I can also see a point in not showing the ranking, so perhaps this is intentional rather than something that was overlooked?

As I am trying to build a defense team already in my head a question that maybe only the developers can answer:

If I am applyng skill shards and it says e.g. "effect change +15%" that does not count for the talismans, right? Talismans I only can buff with accuracy?

Maybe it was asked before and somebody else could answer it as well ... thanks!

One thing I find challenging/confusing is having a rank level AND trophy requirements that place you in a league regardless of rank.

EX: I am rank 25, but in a much lower tier than would allow me to claim the rewards of that rank. This happens because I go to sleep and loose lots of trophies while being attacked. It is strange that my rank doesn't go back down too. Does rank only move forward and not backwards?

I almost spent some ironite to push into other leagues, but it feels like it will be impossible to climb anywhere near the top leagues (despite my rank). Would love to know more how this works.

(Since tone cannot be communicated well online, please read this in the most positive way possible as I really like PVP overall so far)

EDIT: I understand that the beta started shorter than the typical 1-week cycle I think you have planned. Perhaps that will make league requirements more attainable.

My first thought after revealing the gameplay went in this direction to be honest.

Loosing points for something out of your control seems weird. Imho it would be much better to take loosing as granted but if your defense team wins you get extra points. So the push is still there to build the best possible defense team but you won't get punished for having a nights sleep.

easier said than done. I'm on android 4.4.4 and tried using VPN Master app (there are LOADS of of different VPN apps on android, yet most of them for web-browsing only). I once tried another vpn app to get Dawn of titans installed (which was locally unavailable at the time) and was not able to succeed.

One thing is, that messing with localities also results in messing with timezones, thus messing up the daily rewards?

I tried a VPN to Canada and it didn't work. There must be some other filters acitve as well.

The timezone doesn't matter as far as I understand. The daily reward will reset at midnight UTC - exactly as the swap for the dungeons and the secret levels and so on.

I'm beginning to think the top 6-7 ranks are unobtainable.

It appears to me that once you become the top few ranked players, everyone will attack you for higher points and taken over by someone else who will suffer the same cycle.

Lower rank player win the higher rank for 12-15 points and you revenge to get back only 5-6 points if the opponent is way lower?

I went to bed #1 woke up #3 and lost 100 points. Haven't even played my Troopers yet cause I got distracted by the arena, so will be staying away for a few hours. Ranking will definitely be a matter of the number of hours you're willing to play and defend a position

For those wondering how good you defense is, you can click on the ranking histogram on the bottom left and it gives you stats. Wins are shown in an absolute number, defense as a percentage.

For those who have played a bit, what do you think a good target number is for Defense win percentage?

Hard to make tweaks without knowing what a good target should be...

50%? I think with defense on AI it will be tough to get way above that, but would love to hear other opinions

It is working, i am testing arena, not a single problem. It took me 1 hour of searching vpn apps on playstore until i found the right one. Just invest a bit of time,

This ties back to that idea of it being a balance. I simply won't grind non-stop -no matter the reward. That's why I hope my idea of mitigating trophies lost for defense is considered.

It is clear that arena is for using a lot of ironite. The one that spends the most is going to be in a top place. And the best rewards seem ridiculous hard to get, but they are so good.
Otherside i dont like the random system about who will start first, usually who goes first wins
