New Versus Event - Sakaar Arena (10/26/17)
Comments
-
Not sure if you noticed last trends, but gamers prefer short visits and automated (or even idle/incremental) games over mindless grinding. Usual session made of PvE, PvP and DDQ takes approx. 3 hours each day (more if you consider new PvP system and SCL9 in PvE) and you are coming with this?
Well, in the end, we dont have to catch every arena, right? Still, people wont be happy because of loss of potential loot and huge Heals outflow.1 -
The amount of complaining at any and everything is really annoying.18

Amazed at how long and often it's running but still looking forward to it. Sounds crazy0
-
I like the idea of new things to try but how about lowering the time commitment in some other things so we have time to try some of these other things. Maybe make the number of wins in pvp and the season simulator reasonable. Maybe remove the 5 star node from CL72

Lets assume that just beating the 3 seed teams in all 72 rounds got you first place.
6 days
72 x 3 = 216 wins
216 wins = 10 tokens + 3,000 ISO.
Tokens are luck of the draw. You could end up with 10 5* or 10 2*.
Lets look at ISO 3,000/216 = 13.9 ISO/win (rounded up)
That's if it only takes you 216 wins to get first place.
Let that sink in.
Edit: 36 wins/day also.0 -

Just to be clear, that rewards table is for placement for the full event, correct? (because being able to pick up 5-10 tokens EVERY TWO HOURS would be insane)
Is there a table that shows rewards for each two-hour, 20-person LR?
Finally, the forum announcement says the LRs will begin at 1 EDT Friday, while the Marvel.com article says 1 PDT. Can we assume it's EDT (because the Marvel.com articles are... well, I won't be nasty.)

we wasted the Sakaar arena on Lightning Rounds? really?
Sakaar arena should have been an event with a bunch of 1v1 challenge matches or something6 -

Doesn't swing the needle enough for me but it's better at least.0 -

Devs: "Hey guys we slightly rebranded 20 man lightning rounds"
Everyone: OMG WHO HAS TIME FOR 20 MAN LIGHTNING ROUNDS
Overall, Lightning Rounds are probably my least favorite format of any event in the game. I rarely, if ever, play the normal ones they run. So this announcement has me less than enthused.2 -
Sakaar Arena Cover Store
- The only way to get tokens is by competing in Sakaar Arena
- 5-Star
- Doctor Strange (Sorcerer Supreme)
- The Hulk (Bruce Banner)
- Thor (Gladiator)
- 4-Star
- 3x that for Latest 4-Star characters
- 3-Star
- 2-Star
@Brigby I just want to make sure I'm understanding this correctly: The only way we have a shot of drawing Thor (or Banner or 5trange) covers is through tokens? There's no 25 CP/draw option the way we had for the Mes Amis or Hornhead stores?
EDIT: Nevermind, just read the article on Marvel.com, and it sounds like the Friends From Work store will be similar to what I'm thinking of.0 -
Daiches said:72 LRs over 6 days? And you have to play as much of them as possible to as high of a score as possible to even try ranking? And it's for tokens with 2 and 3 stars in them? While regular events are still running?
Ain't nobody got time for that.
But we will know in less than a day.0 -
During C4rol's Super Lightning Rounds, T1 got 2x Fight or Flight tokens, T2 got 1x FoF token, 3-8 got a regular Elite token, and 9-20 got ISO. My suspicion is we'll end up with similar rewards for these.0
-
So, Lightning Season? Is it all placement? Is there progression in the 20-min events and/or the overall event? Is the 2-day Lightning Rounds going to be on hold while the Sakaar Arena runs? Why am I not surprised the first posts were negative?0
-
So we compete in 20-person lightning round events. And in addition to placement with each 20 person bracket, each LR also contributes to a consolidated event score that also has placement rewards? Can we get some more details on exactly how the event is structured?
Are there any progression rewards or alliance rewards for this event?

I think it will be 2 rewards system, one for every 2 hours (exactly as LR) and the other one which include these special tokens is at the end of the event.2 -

I guess I'll probably play a few of these but I'm not gonna stress over it. If it's unpopular or unsuccessful, well, they clearly pay a lot of attention to their usage metrics.3 -

I'll give these a shot too, but like you, I probably won't stress about them too much. Hopefully.0 -
Here's what was posted in Discord. As expected very close to what Sluggo posted for the Carol event.

Maybe the the devs can just give all the complainers every character champed and maxed and create a quarantine event so they can all play with themselves4
