January 5th 2017 Update Discussion

Thanks Sparton for proving that I need to pay to improve on my pvp points
In case you missed my post earlier as predicted I could not make up the 215 points I lost overnight
From 10 fights still 27 points short let's see how many I lose again tonight as I'm normally attacked more than the 10 times.
I am ranked as eternal and 17th so I cannot fight anyone above my tier and only 1 person in my tier so I will always lose with this setup for points

I am locked out, cannot get past the loading screen without uninstall/reinstall. I have did this 15 or 20 times since Wednesday night just to try to get trooper badges at least for the loyal ones. Tonight is not looking good at all since I get a server error after winning a match or upgrading a talisman, opening a soul, etc. then I have to repeat process over again. I e-mailed support last night with no response. I guess hundreds of people have the same issue. I shouldn't have to worry about losing troopers since no one can delete them anymore. Maybe this is by design to protect those locked out of the game. The update yesterday was supposed to increase XP rune drops and I had the lowest total from 30 runs through Game of Death than I have for awhile. I am not one to complain about things I know little about but this is getting ridiculous.

Shield Talis are back, yay! And no more daily shard and rune clearouts! And Daily rewards are back, yay!
Not entirely sure if rune drops show up more. Sure, I get less XP shards, but I seem to get more evo materials instead. May just be RNG however.

Thanks for the update though (and a belated happy new year)!

I do have one character-related question though: I was looking at my Warrior Axis Bomber Boy and I noticed that despite dealing true damage, his MAGIC is way lower than his ATK. Is this by design or is this similar to the Warrior Pyro (who used to deal physical damage but his MAGIC stat was updated a few updates after receiving true damage)?

Really not enjoying playing this since the update will give it a week for them to change the pvp points
There thinking is completely flawed they seem to have a script that they are following without giving it any thought or listening to the beta testers
I am ranked 19 but am eternal tier so if I got the rank 1 guy I can get 19 point
Rank 2-25 I can 18 points
Rank 26 unsure as only 1 player in this tier <just beat him 13 points>
Rank 27 and lower I get 13 points
Anyone From rank 27 and lower who beats me I will lose 24 points

Am currently 124 points lower than where I was at update even though I have won nearly all my SOW matches

well yeah, i also think this system is very flawed this time. probably the worst pointing system we had so far. it also freezes the action i feel, since it simply incorrect to attack lowranks anymore and there are very few targets you should be attacking. i am happy if i can attack 2 players per refresh, that's really not fun to play.
my previous considerations were confirmed at least from a high rank perspective. most can beat you when they go first and you simply loose much to much points every time. Punishing players who creates action can't be good by any means.

EDIT: 3 hours before the reset everything is quiet...shouldn't there be fireworks all over the rankings?
everyone seems to be afraid to attack someone now. exactly what shouldn't happend for a healthy PVP environment.

I have wonder though. Over the last few days I have not gotten much in the way of regular runes, but my Evo rune status is off the hook. I can't evolve any talismans though because I can't level them. Think I am up to 200 3* rainbow Evo runes.

Agreed -not loving this. I do like that it takes longer to get SOW because I don't have to grind so much, but this is no good. Did I ever mention the idea of reducing trophy losses for defensive losses?

I think 45 mins is the ideal SOW counter
30 mins was a grind
1hour with these points is ok as I don't want to play it

It does feel very stagnant. I'm sitting at 15. I don't want try for top ten because if I attack a bunch of lower ranks and they revenge, I've made little or no progress. I'm just waiting and trying to make sure I don't slip out of top 25.

Why can't I buy from the Arena Store?
The cooldowns simply turn into 6 days again and I was unable to buy nothing!!!!
