Server 2 ONLY arena improvement

[Claudia]

So... as title clearly states this is a Server 2 only suggestion. At this moment in arena, you require 6 different IP addresses to be in queue at the same time in order to get a fight due to the 3v3 solo season. While this might be feasible for server one with it's high number of people and characters online at all hours of day and night, it is most certainly not the case for server 2. With the server's way more limited player base, majority of it having come from server 1 people, there have been hours on end, without any arena matches.

My suggestions:

1 - Arena NPCs that join one team or another, depending on number of players online, would be relatively evenly skilled/geared as the average on their team.

2 - Allow multiple toons from same IP to enter fights at the same time, either on same team or different teams. It is up to each individual which toon he will chose to "win" or "lose" the fight.

I would appreciate if only valid and well argumented replies would be made, not "omg another server 2 complain, dont do it" posts.

Thank you.

Support. A sooner change if we're going to do one this season.

The NPCs don't even have to participate. Just two dummies so the Q will hit - effectively making it a 2v2 match - would be sufficient imo. Perhaps leave the two q'd all day and during peaks arena times there will even be more matches.

@ #2 first. It is up to each individual which toon he will chose to "win" or "lose" the fight.
this isn't arena fixing...because why? "hmmm. i got pale on my team while my main is on other team. yh. i'm gonna help pale." i could support if you and your alt are on the same team. but opposing teams? no. this is just arena fixing.

@ #1. now. this is interesting. but people would whine glitch picks winner. "he gave me a melee third while enemy team got a tank. this isn't fair. what good is a mediocre dps on my team vs a tank with 2 dpses"
glitch has so many whiners as is idk if he'd go for that.

@tip that seems more fair. 2 4 or 6 players just go by how many are in queue. it's fair matches.

Flash news: Pale stopped being a "thing" on server 2 long ago He is just a nobody on the server lately.
But i never said these suggestions are perfect, they can always be improved. I am not the only one that is not happy about this lack of arena, there just aren't enough people on that server online at the same time from different IP's t warrant matches at any given time of the day or night.

Dummy toons in arena would work too, or pull from random afk people that are online and not queued, or what EVER works to give more fights and does not involve "fixing" fights. Most of us dont even care about titles and who wins/loses arena anymore, we just want the bonus and with this few people in queue it's just not possible to get.

"Pale stopped being a "thing" on server 2 long ago He is just a nobody on the server lately." True enough, I am a nobody on s2 now mostly because of the type of Q manipulation you are suggesting here. KCNO is the biggest group of losers I have ever seen. Mostly made up of players that could not win on s1. After they realized they could not win on s2 as long as I played they banned together against me.

The real answer is to merge the servers.

^^^ what he said slowly every day we a losing people on both servers s2 has no ablilty to gain lg's other than to gather mats for ur self. even then there is no masters as the crafter has gone awol.

S2 arena goes no where the same 4 people contending for top spots.

Merge IT NAO

yeah the one with multitoons in the match chooses.... yeah I don't think so if there is not enuf ppl for a match then ohwell I do not support any changes to this arena system for s2 until season is over, changing it at atleast half way threw would be an insult to those who have worked hard to get to top 3

Sad, I am not suggesting changes midseason like we had a few seasons ago when people got screwed over for no reason. I am suggesting thoughts for next solo 3v3 arena which is GOING to be happening sooner rather than later. 1v1 solo arena is awesome, 3 v 3 teams are also awesome, 3v3 solo... not a possibility with the 60 - 70 TOONS online on S2... spread in between the US timezones and Europe/south Africa time zones... just... not feasible...

20 fights since reset until now. Now being 14:40 server time. I do not arena on S1 because I honestly have no interest but I can dump a toon in queue tomorrow after reset and see how many fights I get in between the same time.
