Inactive arena in s2

[Bhas]

The problem with this format of arena is you need 6 different people to be logged at same time...alts do not count. on s2 it is not the case for about 1/2 the time of a day. SO there are people who cannot arena...includes the last season arena champ...lol.
I suggest 1 vs 1 or static 3 vs 3 for s2.
Please do something about it.

^ what he said. since arena started 6 hours or so ago, the queue was active for 1/2 of that time. meaning for the last 3 hours the few of us who have been queued have gained 0 rating 0 tokens and no bonus. i get there is peak time and non peak times. but im only online at these time periods during a work week. something needs to be changed and fast.

You chose to go over to the new server, you must now bear the consequences!

Glitch can we atleast get a 10% bonus when we queue for 5 mins on s2 because yes the queues might pop but only for about 2hrs of the day... and not all your toons can get the pops either due to the restriction on ips entering same fights

Thx Glitch!

My experience on s2 has been that 3v3 solo q provides the most matches of any format. The q is dead because of the low player base not the arena type.

S2 issue is that we are not enough queuing, there has been hours without matches for those of us who q, I know it could be difficult to have different arena processes on both servers,
In that case, would it be possible to say: after X minutes where less than 6 people are queued, alts can meet? This way it would unlock arena on s2 and not open a huge breach on S1.

I'd say +5% flat bonus to the current drop chance, but 10 isn't too OP either.and of course, if you leave q you lose the bonus flat bonus.and as jedi said, the bonus should apply only due to arena inactivity.

As long as the alts can't meet on opposing team (me vs myself) I support.



Also I'd like to add the already mentioned 2v2 proposal for inactivity:if there is less than 6 people qed, than the remaining people simply end up as 2v2, if possible.or in extreme situations 1v1, except 1v1 would kill the "team" part, so 2v2 should be appropriate.

Hahaha good thing i just left, see you guys in another 12 months... Hopefully the very few left pvp arena players last another year and we dont keep losing more... But it seems thats the plan , 3vs3 anon lmao...

There is like 2-3h of active arena on s2...tops 4h. One miss it misses arena for the day.
Please consider at least giving bonus dependent on queueing time. This would encourage some low lvl toons to queue, we might not miss the whole season as such. I understand the format or tokens or rating changes are hard....but bonus change should be relatively easy and will solve the problem partially.

Only time arena ever pops for me is midnight so please fix this already glitch im sick of staying up all night just for a queue!
