Im guessing due to Grindor being available in pbc that you guys merged the 2* arena in with the 3*. So what i want to know is when there is a NEW bot arena will there be a 2* arena again? Like to know cause i forge my 1* bots but keep some to try for the 2*.

That's kinda bad. 2-Star Arena was the chance for new players to shine and get nice rewards. Now that you have merged both Arenas, hitting a good score it'll be twice, even triple as difficult I dare to say.
First away missions now this. Im fairly new to this game my team is weak and i spent all my resources on 1 star bots to get better stuff on the 1 star arena and work my way up... then you remove it. What??? This game is like 1 month old. How about new players that start RIGHT now? You build your game around group of elite players that got everything in 2 weeks. I cant even attempt 3 star arena cuz i will get rekt past 3x multiper bc the dificulity is insane and my bots arent maxed out yet. All my hard work and resources has gone to waste. Luckly i was able to get 2 star waspinator before this BS update but thats it. Remove 1 star bots completly form the game theres no place for them atm cuz 2 ores and 100 gold im getting from dupes r not worth the unfair grind in the new arenas.
Yet you're going to go ahead and further decrease the already very, very limited number of prizes? The 1* arena at that. The one that people are going to have the most chances at playing and enjoying? The easiest way to gather more resources in the game? Why? Where is the sense in that at all?
What incentive do players, new players especially, have if they aren't already one of the the teams that can make it to the very tip top of the arenas anymore. Because last time it was largely just an overlap of the same few people earning those bot prizes. There's no reason to roll on crystals because you guys have already announced you're planning to keep the general pool updates six months or so apart. There's no reason to try for arenas because those are dominated by the same people already and if you haven't rolled enough 2* or 3* bots to run multiple teams all day long there's no point in trying at all now that the 1* arena is gone.
I'm with this guy. If you're not going to let us manually upgrade our bots, you're not going to let us fight them in a low level arena and ramp up the story difficulty and every event so fast that they're outclassed within the first few battles, let alone stages, why bother keeping them in the game? They are utterly useless and only serve to dilute the roll pool. They are worse than rolling a 2* duplicate at this point.
EDIT: before I forget and the edit timer runs out;
What does this even mean?! "wanted to progress up in what the arenas can offer" What? How in any way does having the 2* arena stop you from progressing the arenas?
Then why do 1* bots exist if the game, and developers, acknowledge they're worthless.
They should have stated earlier that 1 stars r dookie instead of baiting new players to play 1 star arenas and waste their time and resources in game. They did the same with mcoc 2 star champions
You don't need 2* arena to build up your 2* roster. In beta only 1 person per arena got the 2* bot, not the 250 that they implemented for global release. The vast majority of us got ours through PBCs which you can get via shards.
Keep playing and you'll catch up and be able to compete for the top spots. You may even get lucky and land some 3/4* bots from the PBCs.
I log in twice a day, sometimes three times, and I may not rank in arena but I stay leveled up for missions and most raids. Just gotta be content where you're at and know that games like this either require much of tiempo o mucho dinero
I don't understand this. Does this mean they are getting rid of the arena that uses two star bots? Or is it the one star bots and it was called the two star arena.
No flame...Im within a week here
Thanks for the speedy reply Jon.
No not what I'm saying at all should be diffent bracket longer coc is at least a month .... I mean really what would it hurt for players to pick up an extra 2 or 3* bot or 2. Or Maybe 3 or 4 . It's not like their getting 10 4* bots or something crazy
No, but they should be given some kind of rewards and advancement for their efforts. It seems like miserable game design to not give your players anything cool if they don't constantly pay and play for hours a day. Very few successful games do things like that because it hurts player retention, very few people want to linger around and give money to a game that demands money rather than encourages you to spend it. Unhappy customers are more likely to go on to tell other people about how bad the game and its service was leading to less people checking it out in the future.
I have been playing less than a week, i work 60 hours a week roofing, I have most of the two star bots about to progress my main team into the third rank, just need a few more days of Tier 1 doodads from raids.
I bought the 1.99 deal and the 4.99 deal. mainly to support game and gain the exp buff.
The game is one month old, the developers are not. I watched some you tube vids by iNightSkies. He told me not to waste time one 1 star bots. I didn't. I feel for playing less than a week and putting my nose to the concrete, placing in the 11-25% bracket in every arena I've been in is incredible, and not because I am skilled, not because I spent money, but because the developers have given me enough to achieve this...for free.
I'm level 22 btw if it matters and getting into chapter 4 of act 1, 100 percent through all others up to this point.
Why should I as a new player think that I deserve top spots, competing with those who have played since January?
Why as a player in general should I think I know more about the player base then the developers who have access to the mined data from their servers?
I have opened at the minimum 10 premium shards, much more i believe, all for free. Obtained what was needed to grow.
Why would any of us complain about these things at such an early date in the game?
How to know drop rates will not increase, or any other numerous things the devs could have planned to have this game succeed for newer players?
I am also certain investors would not be foolish enough to back a failing idea or company, nor do I think the Transformers brand would be foolish enough to do so.
These kind of comments just get over looked, he clearly has been playing the game for quite sometime to be leading of one of the top alliances; if you don't like what the devs say, and you don't like what experienced (not necessarily more than you) players have to say, what will you like?
Maybe you (as in general) are the problem.
Take care people.
It was also the primary income of new players
We do at least keep 1* Mod arena, right?
Not certain about future of it though, sorry couldn't be more help there
I agree with all the other stuff you said, excellent points about player entitlement and comparing.
One thing though, the transformers brand, they don't care. If you pay money for the license that's all they need. There's been many epically failed transformers mobiles games. Legends, Rising, Battle Tactics.. legends being the worst offender by far, tarnishing the Transformers brand. This was primarily due to the company and how they ran things, who have since closed down their American branch (unsurprisingly).
Good Information, thank you for clarifying.
My assumption was based, on two things, good business practices, and information from developer on interviews with different mags.
