And no this isn't because I just got sniped...well I did, but I took my spot back before payout. Arena at the top near payout isn't fun. You basically have to sit there pounding on the battle button for 10 minutes hoping you can somehow get into a battle while someone out of battle for the 10 seconds it takes to refresh the time. Someone tell me how this is fun? It doesn't show who has the best team at payout, just who can get lucky enough to get through the lockout.

So true. Not the least bit enjoyable or skill testing.
Sure that means 20 people might get 500 crystals. Who cares, right EA? That's chump change anyways. Just do it. Arena would be way more enjoyable.
I'm talking top 5 where everyone is simply locking out the person behind them or right in front of them for 10 minutes at the end. They aren't attacking me, they are just sitting on the timer for five minutes. The sniping is an issue too. The only way I could see that being solved is allowing us to take command when we get the "Someone is in a battle with you." That would make you think twice about sniping if you know someone is going to be on the other end waiting. Put a timer on moves so someone couldn't take advantage of it
Yes I know what it's like in top five
For sure this would be great.
Then how can you not agree? Its not how good your team is because no one wins on defense. Its how lucky you are when you push the battle button
I don't see how this would work. Someone that was number 1 at reset would just be #1 again.
Ah...see I did that and it backfired on me. I've annoyed this one guy a lot, and today he tried to ruin my payout by sniping me and leaving me 1:30. Luckily I auto'd his team. Sometimes annoying people causes them to try and get revenge
Got my vote
Who cares. It would make the overall experience much better. I could actually play different comps for fun
This, right here.
Different people have different reset times (depending on time zone, I believe).
Oh you know that huh?
I think the best thing to do is live pvp when you get the "Someone is in a battle with you" message. Take command of your squad, and put a timer on moves so you can't just sit there.
Haha this. I know who all of the euro players are on my shard and when I'm bored I just lock them out because there's nothing else to do.
I like this idea!
Arena was the reason I quit playing. It was super annoying and stressful having to play for an hour a day, making sure I time people out so it's impossible for them to take my rank. Having to coordinate with other people is even more ridiculous... Something needs to be changed for sure. At the lower ranks it's not as big of an issue -- but at the top it's completely obvious how flawed the payout system is. CG should not force us to play at the same time every day to get the best rewards.
My bf plays as well and he works the night shift, so he's totally unable to play during reward payout times. I end up having to play for him or he just rolls the dice and his guildmates help snipe people for him.
Yup yup and yup
Haha, that would be evil
Why? It would make things interesting, and with a timer on moves in live PVP, it would ensure no abuse
