Friends
-Contact friends and coordinate attacks, share target names and find them using the find interface located at the top of the fight list.
-Don't waste alot of stamina on multi-attacking one healthy target only to get the kill stolen, a flurry of attacks timed right can result in better kill opportunities.

Cool,showing how to gang attack and actually encouraging it.
On a side note,health bonuses when attacking a target should be shown in the help

Health:
Health is the one attribute that keeps you active in the battle arena, this health attribute is separate from the one used in regular gameplay. The more skill points you put into health the greater your starting health in the battle arena. If your health drops to 0 you are out of the arena. The only way to regenerate health is to kill another opponent. The regen amount is determined by your health perk modifier multiplied by a modified weighting of the total skill points your opponent has acquired, making higher level opponents more rewarding in a kill. It is possible to go above the max health you started with if you get enough health from kills.

Kill another opponent or keep attacking targets for health bonuses.

 

There's people that already know about working with friends to attack others, I don't see the point in leaving this strategy known to a only a small percentage of people. On this point about working with friends, we'd like to hear some feedback as we are discussing some possible changes to the arena. We would look to disable the search bar and you would only be allowed to attack players in your fight list or whoever attacked you. Thoughts?

 

i think you should disable the search bar . if this is to be free for all then let's make it that way .

 

I totally disagree with eliminating the search bar. By doing this u will essentially be eliminating a huge amount of strategy thus giving the lower levels zero chance of success.

@ Beth, a "free-for-all" basically means a no rules, allowing participants players to do as they wish either alone or with others. Obviously in this case there has to be some type of rules or regulation thus the term 'Free-for-all" as applied to the arenas is more describing less rules and regulations as compared to the normal game

 

eric culd ou tell me wat is the piont in a player making themselves stronger , only for the devs to then lower thier attack perk that makes them weaker, is that nt wasting players skill points want is the point in strengthening your pirate only to be made weaker by the devs

 

How about 2 separate battle lists that can be refreshed? One for active players and one for inactive player. The battle lists already seemingly dont refresh well enough as the same players keep showing up on the list while others never do until they are the only ones left. having 2 2 separate lists will increase the odds of everyone showing up at some point. Having an inactive list will also allow lower levels ab better shot at building much needed health vs inactive opponents that unfortunately have been making it too high in the rankings, While an "active" list will allow players to kill off potential threats. Just a thought.

 

eric put 10 batle list up , polisgh thinks he can fight them all at the same time , n matter how many battle lists are up you can only fight one player at a time if you do it leagally asking for more fight list looks like you going to use illegal means

 

What is your malfunction? we have a disagreement in one thread and u want to bring it to another? Believe what u wish....but Im actually trying to help. U?

Where did u get the impression that I want to fight two players at once? I suggested 2 different arena fight lists so players could have a CHOICE. As u may or may not know there has been a lot of complaints about (A) To many inactive being high in the rankings (B) lower levels not having a legitimate shot. My idea was to have 2 lists so inactive players could be easier to find for both the reasons listed above (A) so the inactives can be found and eliminated so they wont rank high for doing nothing (2) the lower levels that r active can have easier access to inactive player potential gain much need health that will help them advance even further. So where exactly do u get that I want to hit 2 players at the same time outta that?

 

If that is the best you can come up with with your vast knowledge of the game then it is easy to see that dding more fight list is only complicating thing one fight list is all you need as you can only fight one player at a time you call your idea help others see it as a hindrance plu wat you are on about is wat happened in the first arena the devs got clearing the dead of the list extremely well in the second arena as yu can see i am new to this game like you say Bounty Wins: 320,104 Bounty Kills: 15,959 but the way i going wont be long before i catch you experienced ones up but i dont think i can match your stats polish you obviously talk a great game but wonder if your stats are as good as you talk is, and i dont expect i can match your arena stat as you must be the kiddy in that as well Attacks 62,471

now you really making me laugh a low level player call a high level player inexperienced i got more experience at playing in the proper game while you play in the girly one

and wat makes you so hilarious you have the audacity to call someone inexperienced when they are 7000 levels your senior

I like the idea Polish .

 

NO!! Don't disable the search feature!!!!That is a key point to strategy.And even though Pimp is a rival,he is spot on by saying its the only chance lower levels will have.If you disable that,then you've really catered the game to us higher levels and the whining low levels would for once be right.

 

LOL....well its just a thought. So lets here your great idea. Something other than everyone cheats and that I want 2 lists so I can cheat as well. How about an actual idea instead of blah blah blah

 

Thanks Linda.

 

Hey Eric. I have a question from a couple players. But the main question for the majority of them is they are all high level players. And the only benefit for them right now in the arena is the experience and possibly making it to the reward tier. A majority of the high level players the battle drops in the arena are not helping them much. They wanted to know if it possible to have higher defensive and attack drops only in the arena itself. To give it more appeal to also fight instead of hiding out till the end.

 

Get Bonus XP when you join! how much bonus do you get ????

 

Like 5% or 10% of what ya need to level.Something like that.

 

Depending on the game its either 3 or 5% of your XP needed to level, cant remember which is which or why its diff from one game to the next

 

There are no immediate plans to have higher def/att battle drops in the arena, the appeal of the arena for higher level players is the additional fight list, xp from battling and the final rewards.

 

You can get up to 3% of your xp needed to levelup.
