Arena/Coli disk changing

[ByeChain]

The fact that you can change disks on your toons for arena and coliseum without starting a cooldown period is being exploited for extra points and support doesn’t care. We have been complaining about this for a while.

What people are doing is coordinating attacks with their friends, they are removing disks briefly on their toons(making the line quick killable), letting friends hit them for extra points, and then quickly adding the disks back. This all can be done in a few seconds and it has killed spirits on server one.

Please implement a cooldown period when making any change to your toons for arena and coliseum.

Arena is broken.

Once a lineup is set, it shouldn’t be allowed to be changed for 24 hours. This SHOULD include the unequipping and reequipping of friendship discs.

This is important because some discs provide invincibility to themselves and/or others, so when they are equipped, it can be difficult to earn the quick win bonus points (kind of the idea, right?) But, because they can be unequipped and then reequipped rather quickly, guild members could coordinate with one another when to remove their discs to allow their guild mates to earn those bonus points. Then they can just reequip them without any 24 delay so that no other players could earn the same bonus.

This means that arena has become a guild participation event. Which ever guild gets the most of its members into challenger 1, is the guild that will have the winner. It used to be that in one individual really loved arena and wanted to go all out for it, they could have the chance to win based on their effort or abilities, not based on how many other guildmates also made the top division.

Honestly, if the fix is too hard for the developers to figure out, then maybe we should just get rid of quick win bonus points all together and just make it about the other rotating rules/bonuses each week.

Oh, and all these same talking points also apply to Coliseum too.

Agreed. That is what I thought too.

No update yet. As Loutre said, if any sort of fix were to be implemented, it would take time.

@Loutre

If a change is made it will take time. This will not be done in a week and it won’t be a retroactive thing.

Thank you for linking this. I think as soon as you hit the “DEFENSE” button to make a change it should start the cooldown. (Even if you’re using the same toons)

[CHURNDOG]

Wonder if this will actually get it fixed

[Tague]

This method makes arena more of a popularity contest than an actual show of skill. No point in spending diamonds to make division 1 if u can get beat by people switching disks for easy points while your offline.

Well, 24h not enough, the whole defense and disks should be blocked for 3 days

What’s the point in keeping adding more heros when you can’t fix the game as it is now. Arena has now become horrible you are actively letting people cheat to gain points then actually working out teams for there selfs What is the point of putting rules for the week as disk drop wipes it out it makes no sense and you should completely take out disk changes all together and let us actually play it the right way without cheating you will definitely see different people in plat 1 if that happens

[Cold.hearted.snake]

3 days? That’s ridiculous. We all have the same opportunities as everyone else. Get a better guild maybe?

What’s the deal with this guy?
