Runes of Magic US / AU

The battlefield arena has now been minimized to only 6v6 and arcanium arena.

I would like an explaintion on Gameforge is approving these changes which can/will/has drive(en) some of the last few remaining players from the game.

First at the start of chapter 5 you put 80% requirement on population of 3v3, 6v6, tryfren, karros and with no information and 4 threads started by myself, still no information on why.

Now all but 2 arenas are available, this is 100% unacceptable and I, alike many others 1000000% deserve an explaination on why this was done, not doing so would be an utmost slap in the face. I've done nothing to be treated like this in a video game of all things, as a paying customer I have the right to know.

Thank you have a nice day.

Battlefield arena options are now more limited? .. Definitely an undocumented change, thanks for posting.

I hadn't noticed. Never have set foot in any of those Arenas to be frank. Guildies spent a day or 2 playing around with Arcanum Arena when it was first introduced, then ignored it after. General server chatter is about the same - can go weeks without hearing the slightest mention of arenas. You must have been one of the last few still caring Purebanana. Personally, I'd rather the companies paid someone to do more important things than explain why it was done -- designers wanted to, that's all. They were probably wrong, but that's beside the point.

The PvP I care about is Siege War, and that brings me to why I came to post on this thread:

Siege War on US servers was on 26-Feb (following 5.0.8 patch) crashing the VAST majority of players attempting to enter. Have not heard word of any fix, so expecting it to occur again in a few hours when siege war kicks off again.

It's all the same, you need to understand. If I'm the one of the last still caring, then you can expand that to you being one of the few still playing this game. Overall it's the same thing, the change they made at the start of chapter 5 was undocumented and has YET to be explained.

You say they changed the pvp arenas because the devs wanted too, well in that case they most likely keep siege in beta because they want too, they allow broken quests to go on broken, they allow classes to be out of balance as some say, they also allow certain aspects of world bosses to go on "as is".

Just because you don't participate in any of the arenas, doesn't mean they don't exists. Then again, that's what brought me to THIS thread also.

Thank you.

It is not true that he is one of the few caring, a lot of people do not do them, because it needs 80% and because there are too few of us in queue to actually have an arena going. If it wasnt of the 80% restriction, i would do a lot more arena, it is really nice to test your skills against other players.

Just my 2 cents.

The same thing that broke SW also broke the arena. If they would just take out the fire festival it would all be fixed.

true. happens every year when they roll out the fire festival. and they still dont get it. it will likely be this way till its gone, just like every year before. search the forums for fire festival threads + siege broken. i would bet there is a dozen for every year back to the first fire festival after siege launched.

i am one of those people that actually cares about the arenas...
the 80% thing we could still deal with, sure, we could only fight for 2m if not 80% until arena closes, but not being able to enter is a whole different issue(obviously). not really much more to say except GF not getting any more of my money until they actually improve the game...or at least stop the downward spiral...
