Reply To: New Arena

I have read a lot of this thread about the new arena and I have a few thoughts.

Many complaints about it being a money grabbing move. I first thought the opposite, that I could not buy myself a win at the end seemed a money losing move. I spent a lot of time in the arena before, and a lot of gems, and won a lot of gems as well. Now I see that I need to spend gems in a different way, with the shuffles and replays so I figure it’s about even as an earning ground for Rovio. Personally I am fine with the way it is now in this respect. I spend to correct my mistakes rather than just adding more shots.

I’m happy with the streaks the way they are and the levels are better. The points system is interesting and I’m ok with it.

Like many, I couldn’t win worth carp, only winning about 1 out of 10 before the adventure. With my boosted FP I’m able to win a streak each day so that’s fun.

The only thing I’d like to see come back is the ability to take spells into the contest. Because we are matched by points instead of FP it would be nice to add spells to the mix to attempt improving the FP spread. Obviously the opponent would have often brought spells too but that part would be fine.

I love that Rovio took out the giving of spells by the destructometer. When I had brought my own I didn’t need any more from them!
