Arena Ranking: Musical Chairs

The way Arena is doesn’t seem to help those that are good enough to take top 5, but work and can’t mindlessly stay in their Phone app to stop being sniped.

Either allow the user to choose the hour on when they want their payout to occur or give someone the rank if they have gotten that rank inside 24 hours.

Example I work all day until 7pm. My payout is 6pm. If before I go to work I get 1st place as my best rank, those are the rewards I get. Don’t punish a player because they are unavailable at a time payout is available and others aren’t doing anything at the time so they can place higher. Makes zero sense. Quit playing musical chairs with out ranking. As long as we get that place sometime in the 24 hour window then that’s what our rewards should be!!!

    This def need to be in a QoL change for sure. One way or another. Give me the best rank I got in a 24 hour period. Or allow me to choose my payout time so I can actually play the game and try to get good rewards. Don’t handcuff me to a time I can’t actually play the game.

    These posts are turning into the new "when is cls coming back". Use the search button and stop making the same posts as 30 other people. Btw they're not going to give you the capability to move your payout so just move on and enjoy the game as is.

    They're also not going to reward your highest point reached in 24 hours because they would have to pay out a ton more crystals.

    You mean they don't want to pay 20 people rank 1 rewards? Lol. I for one am shocked.

    They already pay 24 people rank 1 rewards in each shard (one per payout time zone)...unless there's a few empty time zones. I don't have a globe in front of me and I'm too lazy to go interneting for one.

    They pay 20-24 people per shard, they don't want to pay hundreds more.

    Last I checked, there were 30++ distinct time zones. For example India is XX.30.

    Actually they don't even payout that many. I'd be highly suprised if there happened to be a single person from every time zone within reach of first and on top of that take the rank every day before payout. Based on my shard discord there's probably only a chance for 7 different rank 1 payouts and that likely would only happen with perfect execution of rotating.

    This has been spoken of many times before, if they gave you rank 1 prizes for getting to rank 1 in any 24 hrs, it would damage the income for crystal purchases, and is therefore a non starter.

    People would also start arranging it so that top 20 or so would get rank 1 prizes. They won't want to do that

    Yeah, the system is not that great. A conspiracy probably is in place on many shards already so those with different payout times stay in 1st for their payout. Once they are paid, someone else can battle them for the top reward.
