OK, so why can't arena payout rewards just be based on what rank you achieve throughout the day??? Wouldn't it save so much stress??? And they are OK with multiple people getting rank 1 payout since multiple people can if they have different payout times. Which makes people purposely change their phone time when making an account just so they have an odd payout time. Doesn't that seem stupid???
OK here's my story, so it's about 5 o'clock and my wife wants to go out and eat. So we get the kids together and get the restaurant about 530. I'm at about rank 6 and I decide to get in place for rank 1. So I attack rank 2 and while I'm fighting my wife notices me playing and gives me the big eye roll. So I finish discretely and then we get our table. So at 5:55 we are eating, and I notice the time and attack 1. I kill all but one of his and then decide to wait cause I know another top player has the same payout time as me. I keep glancing at my phone to make sure I don't wait too long and my wife catches me again and says, "oh my gosh are you really still playing we are at dinner!!!" So of course I lie and say I was just checking the time. I hit the auto button to win and enjoy the rest of dinner with my family thinking I should have gotten rank 1. I check my phone when I get home and nope!!! I got rank 5 payout, that's like 200 less crystals and I'm all FTP!!! Oh man put me in such a fowl mood. The other guy had to have beat me with seconds to spare. But my point is why should we have to fight eachother when if one of us had just a different payout time everything would be fine??? Seems so stupid to me, and in this case I would have been better off just not attack number 1, and I would have gotten rank 2, but within 5 minutes I went from rank 2, to 1 to 5 and get the worse payout of all those ranks. Soooooo
Please please please please make it so your arena is based on the highest rank achieved throughout the day!!! Please please please please please please please please please

guess he's one of those super competitive players i avoid at all cost.
If what you are opossing to have a best rank throughout the day where atm you have 1 person to compete with. Your asking for the entire shard to compete against the top?
In my experience with this method there would be alot more movement and constant battling and refreshes if you had to keep fighting for spots. You could be a rank 2 one day then when you go to sleep and wake up you could be at rank 30. This would be a constant flow of everyone pushing for top 20 instead of now people pushing for their payouts.
This method would only benifet people that can keep refreshing battles with crystals so F2P will loose their spots in top 20 due to the fact battle refreshes will be a constant thing vs the rewards then vs what crystals your left with from the rewards to then keep aside for next day of battling and will slow down your progression
So anyway, I know "losing" 200 crystals sucks, but the day you go out to dinner with your family is maybe the day you decide to not give a crap. Sorry, but I'm with your wife on this one. Just be thankful that you are in top 10 as an f2p.
Because you want to remove competition for a participation award.
I agree with one of the previous posts, maybe once and a while you don't care if you get somewhere in the top 10.
As stated above, you think it's bad now if you implement this type of system, maybe more people will get rank 1 and go through you to get it. A plan like this would probably triple if not more the number of "#1" payouts....
as for it being bad. well that's not the point of arena. it would work exactly how i said. someone would hit rank 1 and stop battling for the rest of the day. the point is that your team is good enough to get in rank 1 and stay there.
there is actually some luck involved in getting to a better rank. i've been lucky enough times. i've won plenty of times i should have been destroyed but rng allowed me to go first and i was able to dominate with the team i had. but i didn't stay there very long and rightfully so.
The idea
So everyone determines the rank by highest rank achieved.
Lets say day 1 2 3 4 your still hitting Rank 1 and so is everyone else in your top 50. All are getting the same crystals as yourself then over a couple of weeks you find yourself fighting with 50 other players and you wake up say rank 55 and you gotta refresh 2-3 refreshes to get to your highest achieved.
And I know, it's easy to say it's just a game but hey, if you want to be competitive, you kind of have too, and the extra crystals are so just so important to me as FTP.
i don't understand. i'm ftp as well. i never hang around during payout time. i'm actually not even by my phone at payout time. i miss all kinds of stuff from being at work. i never get my noon refreshes that come. lots of times i miss the evening refresh. heck i rarely get the dailies all completed.
I joined a guild that raids at noon. That time works really well. Usually in between at work and sometimes lunch. Never bothers my wife and I never neglect the kids. Noon works.
But 6p is the worst time for a father of young children and I almost never battle for the top spot because of it.
In fact most of the time what I do is battle 2-3 times throughout the am and maybe again in the afternoon. Most of the time I take the top spot just to prove that I can. But I never get the rewards for it.
I would love to get the chance to change times or get a different structure to the reward system.
It could be as simple as a "king of the hill" type where the one who holds number one spot the longest in 24hrs gets the reward. Gives a bit more strategy in how you use your battles and prevents the sniping and organizing with other players.
Word of advise: don't play at the table out to eat.
Your kids and wife will get a lot better rewards than the game.
what if the arena took a snapshot of your ranks every hour? you could get top spot any hour you like doing the day and get payouts. would keep the limit of 500 crystal prizes at 24 like it is now. say you're busy dying your payout time but free at 10 am. at the 10 am hour you take the top spot and fall through the the day. when the arena pays out you get 500 crystals as you took the top spot for an hour.
Personally, I'd like to see a point based system, similar to tournaments, that would reward the player with the most points achieved daily but with points based on match wins and not chars left standing.
Pretty sure someone has thought of it before but how to make it a good rev stream would be interesting. Maybe ante up to get in certain tier rewards such as 50 crystals for T1 and have to win 5 matches, 150 crystals for T2 and require 10 wins, 250 crystals for T3 and require 15; and so on.
Would love to see reward tiers that more than one person could win too.
You should probably just delete the app from your mobile devices before your wife leaves you with the kids. "probably"
They need to make it so only 2 or 3 can attack first.
This would be grand but then it would be the same issue for whoever is in 2nd and 3rd by 4th- 6th.
