arena tend to be alot harder than expos. the mobs appear tougher with higher agi perc and/or even hp
theres a small chance of facing another human team and risk of losing poh
some servers have a low source of poh because of no sieges and silly patches so not many want to lose their poh
the level parameters are slightly off, in some arena for example you can have a lvl 50 players up against lvl 60 players, yeah there might be an extra lvl 50 player but the difference in equipment is a major thing as its always the higher agi/perc to hit first
take your pick lol
but anyway i always join for the fun of it win lose or draw

I would say both reasons Dreamdusk stated.
I don't have that much PoH,so i would lose more than i have,basically returning me to ground zero.
Although,if you still want to help the little guys,do it via expo... join someone else's expo,and start your own later...
If i were a big player,i would not do this... The little guys actually,in my case,couldn't care less.... I am a BK,i still have a long way to go before i can hit a WD with my mace.
Taking a little guy with me would be ok for me if it were an expo... The guy needs help,so why not sacrifice a point or 2,possibly more,that i would gain if someone were to start a golem.
But,on arena...
If i were to get a human team,it would basically mean the 4-5 of them,and 1.5 of me..
So then,i'm not only sacrificing exp,i'm sacrificing my PoH.

Our clan generally has a couple of arenas going each week; I haven't noticed that many lower level ones (white / black dragons), but that could be because the smaller players don't have enough poh to start them as well as trying to do expos during the week etc.
I think a lot of people tend to think of arenas as an "extra" expo; but they aren't. The chance of meeting another team is the same chance as meeting a mob; I suspect it's either a 4-way split between 3 mobs & a team; or more likely 50-50 between any mob & a team - I always tell people to go fully prepared for another team, just in case, but with some mobs that is hard to do.
But this also means taking a full team, rather than just enough to kill the mob; costs more poh.
The level restriction does pose a formidible barrier, especially to clans who do not have a range of players to cater to the demand of people wanting to start arenas.
I still think the arena patch is worthwhile and gets good usage. It may not have been the be all & end all that some people were expecting, but it creates another portion of the game that requires thought & preparation.... maybe that's why some people don't like it.

There are always five to six arenas going on in V13. I think there was a WD a couple of weeks ago, I can't remember but we do get smaller ones now and again.
I think a lot of people in the lower levels are worried about loss of PoH when they DO get a team. Most of the lower levelled folks are in Z4 which means they can't regain PoH by just waiting with a hospital. They actually have to attack other people and use every attack they can in order to even start an expo, never mind an arena.
I don't think it has anything to do with "they can't get the bigger players to help due to the level restrictions, they realise they'd have to do the work themselves and that would mean actually trying?" I've seen a lot of lower level players that are MUCH stronger then one would think, they actually become a HUGE assest in an expo because they're lower level but can deal damage of a much higher level - less PoH usage.
Again, it's the lack of being able to regain the PoH after they potentially lose it in a team battle.

Nothing ventured,nothing gained...
Maybe it would be better if we could only face a team if it's on the same location....

RE: Arena not taking off... |
|
I see the same and I can understand low players unwilling to join or start arenas..
But that's why arenas are one of the best improvement in the game!
In arena a bad structured team often loose, vs humans or vs a mob!
There are 2 ways to do arenas:1st is to get experience (And it's where most people get badly hurt) 2nd is to get the best team possible and hope to find an enemy team!
I prefefer the second one, and honestly arenas are a nice source of POH to me, I like to go there to hunt for enemy teams ;p
Too many players try the highest arena they can do and go with a team who can badly beat the mob... they are easy preys!
What's bad with it? It's an arena, you see? Like gladiators in the Coliseum.. one wins, the other loose, those who wins get fame, the others loose everything!
If you're scared to fight don't quit your estate, it's plenty of blodthirsty undeads out there!
