That's just ridiculous. As long high era players can just slaughter low era players I won't set even one foot into this arena. If you really want to mix up all eras, at least don't allow downgrade-fights. If a low era player wants to try fighting a higher era - that's ok (even it might be silly with auto-fight) - but this slaughter-tower is just a shame.

I'm on EMA and have to fight asteroid ?!? Are u silly ?

You fight the 1st one in the list then it refreshes does it not ? you do not have to click the SAAB player...
 
OK Am I missing something? (I admit to being a very blonde blonde at times)
1. Chose Army (Was a bit of a scutter at first)
2. Chose opponent
3. Hit Auto battle
4. Repeat steps 2 - 3 5 times more.
That's it done and over with?
Where is the challenge?
Where is the strategy?
Where is the excitement?
If I was to spend diamonds would I just get more of the same?
 
So, apart from the stuff that has been done to death:

  • No battle replay? Why wouldn't this be included? Is something going on during those "auto battles" we're not allowed to see? Are actual battles even simulated?
  • No battle results in the log? What are you hiding?
  • Rewards are also scaled by era? Why would you throw players of all ages onto the same ladder but not reward them accordingly if they beat higher-age players? Placement alone should determine the rewards.
  • Rewards don't incentivize climbing at all. Why would anyone grind fights to get an extra 5 medals and a chance at 1 additional unit per week?
  • Rewards don't incentivize going full-on whale either. What do I get for buying max attempts each day, winning them all and defending well? 50% more of a useless resource than the #2 spot. Diamonds well spent :eek:
  • Units that are assigned as arena defenders can't be used for anything else at all? They can't also be the neighborhood defense? They can't be used to attack? Why is that a thing? Why would anyone ever put up a good arena defense if they effectively lose those units?

I had low expectations, but... o_O

I'm ranked #42 in my EMA hood, to stay between 500 - 1000 in rank for the week, I will earn 14 medals, a 20% chance of 10 FP & one EMA unit.

I fought a SAM for 100 just for giggles, of course I lost, but he is still on my list of opponents.

Surely there are more suitable opponents for lower era players and the rewards need a major boost

Even if you only fight and win against same era opponents as a low era player, you will lose hundreds of points by being slaughtered by high era players.

In the Ranking table, scrolling through the rank pages, the data is incorrected

I see several have added screenshots, just adding mine

I mean, really? FTR, I'm in Contemporary. It's the easiest thing in the world to beat an EMA army; it's impossible to beat a VF army. So why are they valued the same? This was actually a bad screen to take a shot of (was out of attempts before I thought of it). In one case there was a SAAB/EMA mismatch. What in the world?

Anyway, as expected this is basically pay-to-win. Whoever buys the most tokens will win the tournament. Since the rewards are pointless, I won't be bothering. I'll play it just for the fights but not buying tokens

Give us back our old PvP towers, they certainly do not give great rewards, but they create competition between neighbors (even with smaller medals for places due to the PvP arena)
The release of the new Pvp arena is very weak. Players must not have opponents higher than three eras. Otherwise, the chances of winning are reduced to zero. You need to maintain a manual battle mode and increase the rewards for the tournament, then there is no sense to take part in it, the costs exceed the income. :rolleyes:

Just tried it out..

Me - Late Middle Ages
3 Opponents - Late Middle Ages, Space Age Mars, Space Age Asteroid Belt.

So glad they gave me a choice!

What on earth were the devs thinking? This is truly the worst idea I've ever seen in this game. You don't even get to see the army you're about to auto battle which means absolutely zero strategy is involved. And when the fight is over, no replay so your none the wiser about how you won/lost. I've left it with a defensive army of 1 rogue - good luck fighting him 'til the 2 weeks runs out.

What a load of utter rubbish.
 
At first I thought "PvP Arena", hmmm ... seems to me a good idea ....
Now, this Arena is totally an UNfair one, it's also a big shame !!
I like to play FoE : I love the Turn Based Combat a lot ... this whole TB combat aspect is gone !
I've other things in mind when I think about the term "Arena" ....
You created a very nice Lighthouse (most of the time I love the visuals in FoE, fine created by designers, + 1 ) for this PvP Arena, but I can't call this "Arena", no not ... rather call it : "PvP Casino or Gambling Hall" ( - 10 to Inno's reputation ! ).

I'm not scared to loose a fight against an amry a few Era's above me IF I can do manual battles ... that way I can LEARN about units of higher era's ! That way I will LIKE this Arena, even if I loose a lot of fights ! Since the rewards are not that great, I can't realy care about them !

So suggestionq :
1 : Include a button for Manual Battle please !
2 : Let players face armies of MAX of 2 a 3 era's above their current era or at least not this strange things, but I don't know how this all is calculated is now, it's puzzling me ....
