    This was changed, you now have to accept the revive after one hour.

    The scores are being maintained in the database; what you're seeing is a reporting error and the devs are working on it.

    When everyone is revived in sudden death and then killed, is that a 1/3 penalty again?

    There is no 1/3 penalty there.

    We're also working on the Fight list to pull more targets for everyone.

    I went defense when saw it Fielding, wasn't going to deal with it while they are figuring out what is going on.

    It's an error alright. KANO didn't do a good job of proofing this before the arena. Can hardly play now. Thanks KANO

    I am not liking this. I was able to kill a high player, after someone else weakened them. And now I think the person revived themselves. I think the save should just be removed. That way it also helps out the level 250 peoples that can't play because they keep being killed when they are revived.

    yeh the save target should be removed if the arena stays like this, or you will find yourself getting hit by the same player if you try to revive yourself, kill a target wait and if he revives you have yourself a easy target again without hunting for 1

    This is a good point, I'll get the developers to look into this case for future Battle Arenas.

    I also think losing 1 third of your score is way too high when you die, only a handful of players will have a score come the end of the arena as the rest will be killed so many times in the 1st 2 days they will be lucky to have any score at all

    ok, so i was able to play for awhile at the start. I ran my health up from 2B to 8B before the player with 32B found me. slowly went down to 4B before staying in defense. came out, and was promptly killed. so now I start over at, i think, 2/3x8B or about 5B. where the guy that had 32B will now have 50B. no thanks Kano. no thanks.

    no1 reviving in BA because the moment you do the top 10 players with 100 kills jump on you before you have a chance to do anything. the changes you made where to make ba more active but it failed now its just a xp farm for the top 10 guys and no one else can do anything. the biggest problem I see is the points loss you get when you die, no1 want s to keep droping 1 third of there points with no chance of getting it back, I myself would be more happy with a auto revive after a hour but no points loss in when you die, this way there is always lots of targets but people wont have to worry about there score droping when they do die, i would be reviving myself as i speak if it was like that but no chance im feeding xp to players already OP

    Agreed! I would have been much better off never reviving. I barely get a chance to participate as it was usually getting killed within 5 minutes of start regardless of whether or not I am in defensive mode. Now I'm penalized for trying to participate. Well at least the top players will always stay on top with this new set up. Don't want to encourage the lower levels to stay.

    death penalty-may be fairer to take 1/3 of points gained since last respawn as opposed to 1/3 of total

    FYI - the fight list (at least on Kano Server 2) is NOT FIXED. It worked right for approximately 1.5 hours last night. Stopped working again last night, still not working now.

    Maybe from time to time they should randomly resurrect some players to feed the lions before they will start to eat each other.
