Personally , Def mode was never an issue with me, except for those that join did 100 min attacks and hid for 4 hours and up, the " "Battle " arena, note the word battle, is meant to be just that, not a turtle. And I will repeat, that in my opinion that anyone who plays these PVP ( player versus player) "fighting games", and don't want to fight , maybe this game is not for them. Right now I am seeing accounts leveling real quick , for example in FB PC leveling into XP ranges that are way beyond their understanding of the fighting element that is crucial for games like this, are gonna be pulverized, well I will welcome them to my XP range with open arms and the first one to pulverize them.
Kirsten and I have been down every avenue of this new arena format months ago in vc forum, I understand how upset you folks are.but sorry to say you should pay attention to all the forums and the changes happening so you can voice your opinion when it matters not after it has been decided. I do not play LCN or zombies but I still read the forums fr this exact reason. welcome to the new arena adapt and survive, dont and die
I have no problem with Kano making a profit. It is a FOR PROFIT game/business. However, you cant make the game and all the Sub Games (Raids, Syndicate Wars, Battle Arena) only about spending to have fun and a good finish. Yes, it can be part of those games, etc.. but your result should not SOLELY depend on how much you charge your credit card. LCN was always good because if you did not spend or had limited ability to spend. You could still advance, get stronger by playing smart. Was it slower? Absolutely, but you could still play and improve. Now Kano has ruined that balance!!!!!!! If you want to kill your game stay on your current path... IF you want to survive and flourish then you should listen to the players. I will be signing up for experience but as 800+ players did this last BA, I wont be playing or spending on BA further. The ROI is horrible. Get better return just doing calendars. Bring BACK THE BALANCE!!!! But will you?? Likely not, which is why your game will die.

No it shouldn't be that if someone spends or doesn't become dependent on how well anyone does ,but it can make a difference ,and Yes I know some who do not spend on the games,and do very well, I think how you build your account is just as important ,if not a big factor .
Agree Kirsten. Kano just needs to remember the balance. yes, those that do spend get benefit and no problem with that. Personal choice as I see it. However, for those that love the game but for whatever reason do not have the ability or resources to spend then they should be able to have fun in these Subgames and still help their character. I would hope for BA they do adjust quickly because less than 400 people actually playing last BA is pitiful for a worldwide game. Look at your start days at well. Why not pick a weekend day and let everyone who is awake have a chance to play. Picking Wed only helps those that do not work.
The outpouring against a different BA was ridiculous in the forum. It didn't matter when or where people saw it. The fact is that people hated the changes proposed, and Kano still went ahead with it. Even after all the negativity in relation to a new style of BA they still introduced the changes into LCN and now PC, and also ZS I would assume. So tell me do they really give a f#ck about anyones' opinion. The answer is a resounding NO. These forums are here just for them to SEEM as though they care about the general masses and what they think. No other reason. Otherwise they would take heed and pay attention. It is solely a money grabbing exercise. Therefore your comment has been made redundant.
Kirsten and George Bird. A straight question and I would like an honest answer. From all of your replies it seems that you are always pro actively supporting Kanos' decisions in how the game should be changed. It seems very off. Are you KANO employees directly or indirectly?
what is the big deal? if it wasn't for the credit cards, we wouldn't have a game to play and we wouldn't even be here. at least, that's what i keep hearing.
Oh please these are games,stopping being so serious about games. And why do you care what I think . It is all in a person's perspective,you want to make more out of it than that,be my guest, but ya would just be spinning your wheels over nothing, relax, have some fun .
http://forums.kanoapps.com/threads/battle-arena-the-road-ahead.14306/page-24 read all my posts there and the little support from the community and then reconsider your thougjts, I didnt see all the outpouring then when my viking got nerded by kano dont expect my support now when you get the same treatment, BTW I took second in arena last time despite 6000 skill points in defense being thrown away
remember a few months ago when we were going head to head over all these changes in vc? and this guy was nowhere, and now thinks I will fight it again? ya screw that I fought and lost and had none of these people backing my fight, why would I back them now,
