Arena refresh button

Biggest frustration in the game:

Arena refresh... Why do you have to click 50x refresh when you want to attack number 15 from position 21 i.e. It's frustrating and makes me want to throw my phone on the ground..
Especially when you finally found the target you wanna hit and automatically you click refresh again by accident so you can restart the refresh frenzy.

Especially when you consider that the solution is so easy:

- Make the right character select the player that you can max. hit (25>19 or 16>11 or 11>7)
- Make the center character select a random player (like the flawed system you use now)
- Make the left player the player you can attack on a minimum (21>20 or 5>4 etc).

This will save time, frustration and broken phones.

    I still don't understand this either... been refreshing for 25 to 18 for going on 30 minutes now... why is there any RNG for the max hop in arena at all?

    It's such a bizarre mechanic, and still happening years later...

    While this is a necro thread since it is still an issue which is kinda ridiculous

    devs say they listen to feedback, but not whether they are going to ignore it or not.. this is something that NO ONE LIKES and it would be nice if they would change it finally.

    This was asked about during the Q & A thread recently @Jalila. Here is the question & response:

    QUESTION: xSPOOFx] Why does it still take 20 minutes of refreshing the screen in order to make the jump from 19 to 13 in Fleet or Character Arena? This has got to be one of the most annoying parts of the game. Why can’t we just simply scroll over to the opponent we want in a couple of seconds?

    [CVG] We are working on a fix for this right now. We can actually do this without making major changes to the client by making sure the highest possible opponent is always served up to you to start. Normally I wouldn’t promise this before the code work is done because it’s possible we could encounter an issue in implementation, but on the scale of all the variable things that are in progress this is at the top of the list. And because we think we can do it with a server fix, we should be able to release it before our next update.

    Supposedly this was going to be an easy fix that they could just push onto the next update.. but that week passed... looking forward to this weeks update..

    @CG_Carrie Just a friendly reminder in case it slipped out of your mind.

    Ps. It's alright if it isn't as easy to code as you thought it would be. We'll just be glad to know *if* and *when* this is happening. :smile:

    I find that QA answer a bit suspicious tbh. They say its an easy fix that can be pushed out without making major changes to the client.. well if that is the case then why is this still a problem after 2 years of people complaining about it?

    It's so annoying. What happened to quality of life. Don't wanna spend forever refreshing. Can't imagine how difficult to change from random numbers to cycle between the applicable targets??????????
