arena bonus

[devil]

i say we get rid of the current arena bonus (its not like anyone queues for this anymore anyway) and instead offer temporary 1 hour bonuses purchasable with arena tokens and gold specific to whatever activity you may be doing.

examples:

trophy droprate bonus:

for 250 tokens you get 5% more trophys for 1 hour
for 500 tokens and 50,000 gold you get 10% more trophys for 1 hour
for 1,000 tokens and 100,000 gold you get 20% more trophys for 1 hour
for 2,000 tokens and 200,000 gold you get 40% more trophys for 1 hour
for 4,000 tokens and 400,000 gold you get 80% more trophys for 1 hour

resource bonus

for 250 tokens you get +1 resource tier for 15 mins
for 500 tokens and 50,000 gold you get +1 resource tier for 30 mins
for 1,000 tokens and 100,000 gold you get +1 resource tier for 1 hour
for 2,000 tokens and 200,000 gold you get +2 resource tier for 1 hour
for 4,000 tokens and 400,000 gold you get +3 resource tier for 1 hour

adventure exp bonus

for 250 tokens you get +10% adventure exp for 1 hour
for 500 tokens and 50,000 gold you get +20% adventure exp for hour
for 1,000 tokens and 100,000 gold you get +40% adventure exp for 1 hour
for 2,000 tokens and 200,000 gold you get +60% adventure exp for 1 hour
for 4,000 tokens and 400,000 gold you get +80% adventure exp for 1 hour

gold bonus

for 250 tokens you get +5% gold for 1 hour
for 500 tokens and 50,000 gold you get +10% gold for 1 hour
for 1,000 tokens and 100,000 gold you get +20% gold for 1 hour
for 2,000 tokens and 200,000 gold you get +40% gold for 1 hour
for 4,000 tokens and 400,000 gold you get +80% gold for 1 hour

all bonus times are counted in real life time from the moment of purchase and there could be a bonus icon (like for beast bonus) telling you how much time left for current bonus.

this way everyone even pve farmers will have a reason to do arena, specially as they can custom choose their bonus to suit exactly what they will be doing. with more teams in queue (which this idea if implemented hopefully would achieve) obtaining tokens for the higher bonuses shouldnt take too long and gives people who already have 8x tempers on their suit something to spend tokens on, and to overall benefit from being in arena queue.

As long as all the numbers are suitably balanced, sounds good to me.

This would reward those players that accumulate excess tokens, but keep in mind, the arena is it's own reward with the bonus already there. I like the idea though as it encourages participation in the arena.

:{ idk about others but i constantly need countless tokens for tempers since i uptier/get new gear a lot. so while 80% gold bonus during a beast bonus is appealing... i just don't got the tokens i could invest in this so i'd lose the only bonus i would get.

I support, like enigmawave said, as long as numbers are balanced. Imo would get people to que up alot more soo they hunt for tokens not just rating. plus winning gives more tokens making people put more effort into winning fights.

Current arena bonuses as they are give more than hte proposed.
For example 4.000 tokens needs months to gather, some people don't gather them for months. An i am not sure that it is easy for someone to pay 400k for a one hour bonus at the time the usual player don't gather 400k in one hour..

fair enough but forget the numbers they are examples its the idea of changing bonus.

and it doesnt take months to gather 4k tokens you look at some of the people in the tops list for arena and tipcrys (who did most of her queuing as a lvl 60) has nearly 24k tokens, also you dont have to wait til the 4k tokens options if you dont want theres plenty good enough options in my example in the 1k and 2k tokens range

Tempers are already hard as hell to get because of low arena participation,If anything, id like to see token costs go down... arena gold bonus is least of my worries.

As it is now, the slow queue actually benefits those users participating in arena just for the bonus, less interruptions and bonus kicks in for free in 5 minutes.

Good idea/intentions, bud id prefer things as is.
