Can't say I'm really happy with this. https://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=28070.msg358232#msg358232
« on: June 29, 2011, 09:45:33 am »
I've been playing The Arena and I must say it IS pretty fun. However I just have a few complaints.
Why take out Top 50? Top 50 was one of my favourite AI's. It gave you a chance to challenge the top fifty best decks with an AI wielding it. It was a fun idea and it's where I received most of my profit and joy. And best of all...
They had 100 hp!
Now I'm not saying that t500 is bad for that reason. I just thought that it'd be good to challenge player's decks WITHOUT AI5/6 traits. Now it's just hard. A challenge isn't a bad thing, it's just that now t50 has grown to Level 4 or 5 and is now not as fun as it used to be.
Here's a suggestion.
How about keep the arena, but also keep Top 50? I will be over the moon if that could be put in motion. It can't be that hard, can't it?
Thanks for reading my little rant.

You can just play T50,but not in beta.*Nuff said*
You know, a long time ago being crazy meant something. Nowadays everybody's crazy.

I don' agree.. t50 had become "farm-land" and the only good deck you met was life rush and CCYB..
The first gave you pretty close rushy game the second pwned you most of the time ^^
I really like the arena but yeah 200 Hp are a lot and I think that rewards should be higher !

Exactly.  There might have been 2 or 3 other decks mixed in occasionally but it was anything but "the 50 best decks"

And if you want to play something with less than 200 hp, just play bronze league or pvp..

@Calindu: I'm talking about when it actually comes into the game.
@Ralouf1: That is a good point. Most of my cash I got were from rare-farms ^^;
But you should still have a choice to play in it. Some people may still want in.
@Hodari: Sorry let me rephrase that.
Playing against the decks of the top 50 best scorers.
@91873645: ...oh dear god ._.

Nao if you want to rare-farm just take a good rushy deck and play bronze league you will win a lot of rare and maybe even more than in t50.

For me the league is just perfect

Bronze : for rare farm.
Silver : for electrum/score.
gold : too but with some challenge, comparable to FG.
Platinum : for peaple looking for real frustration challenge. Good rewards too but little low..

^^ This.  Platinum still needs better rewards, but I have a feeling that'll happen once it goes live and we have literally 500 decks per league (Platinum is peaking out around 160 decks right now.)

That, and we need to get the silly system where higher-ranked decks get more play out of the way.  That's just absurd.
If something happens and you think it deserves my attention, feel free to PM me. Other than that, I'm probably here if you want to shoot the breeze.

Weaker decks need love too, though I suppose its zanzs' method for people not to lose too much score during the day.  Nobody wants to come home to find they dropped two levels.  The problem is that these fine balancing things really need to be decided after this goes live.

If I recall correctly, Arena score and in-game score are not related to each other.

In any case, the RNG needs to give each selectable Arena deck in the league equal weighting to allow mid-ranked decks to climb up.

I came back and I realized that I went from 1450 electrum (SO CLOSE TO UPGRADING), and now I have 72. ._.
I also lost an eternity.
What the hell happened?

I just came home after being gone for 5+ hours...my deck had not been played a single time.  And it's ranked 16 in platinum, so not even that low.
