Battle Arena Awards Change

MirrorMartigan

Were the Arena Awards changed without notice? I haven't seen an update on the changes for October.

Dirk Gunderson

I can’t find the announcement now but a while back they said the arena rewards would be listed three months in advance in-game.

Battle Arena rewards can now be viewed for the next several months when you click on Leaderboards and Rewards"

But... what you're showing (and when I just logged in) is confusing because it's not what the September rewards were... but it's also not what is listed for October. So that's weird. ..

MirrorMartigan

That's why I posted it. Because for one I never saw the announcement about being dome three months at a clip via ingame messages, and also because its still September, and my awards changed literally right in the middle of using my tickets.

I'm getting that too. Wasn't showing that earlier today

MirrorMartigan

I'm fine with finishing my Defiant in October. The Bounty schems will be replicator fuel.

Mr. Lincoln

Three consecutive months with worthless schematics. Arena crew have gone into the freezer. The weaker ones anyway.

Well, remember, when the rewards are calculated, it will be after midnight in DB's time zone, meaning it will be October 1.

It's just showing what you will get when the rewards are calculated tonight.

It has been October 1 for over 12 hours here. ;-). You are all just playing catchup.

I am usually quite upright. You may have to do some research into the flat earth theory Newt.

Then you'd just be backwards.

I got more of a Stranger Things vibe from that comment.

Yeah!! Three Months of useless schematics. I really hoped these were just placeholders, I'd really like *some* reward through grinding through a gazillion ship battles just to get and maintain rank. Why they don't just replace them with replicator rations and be done with it.

MirrorMartigan

I'm happy to finally finish my Defiant. All the rest, enjoy being replicator fuel.

Dr. Creon (¥SA)

Looks like they finally added December's to the list and it will be another month of nothing for me. I'm sure it will be nice for new players that do not have these ships finished but for anyone that's been around for a while, it's another month of unneeded schematics. It would be nice if they (DB) could figure out a way to make it more enticing for players that have the ships done to continue utilizing the arena. Perhaps giving us an option of choosing between schematics or something else (honor, merits, credits, etc). Or, at least ensure that one division has schematics for a new(er) ship available.

Amphistaff

The announcement for the last client update said the rewards will change at midnight UTC on the 1st of the month. Since we can see the rewards for 3 months in advance there will be no further in-game notifications about changes to arena rewards.

Matt_Decker

I'm also disappointed they aren't putting schematics from at least one of the newer ships into the arena each month. I understand not wanting to make available schematics for the Valdore or Dominion Flagship just yet, in order to show those who paid that they're getting their money's worth. But what about some of older ones that weren't original to the game, like the USS Enterprise NX-01, USS Discovery, USS Shenzhou, or the Ni'Var?

Capt. Chaos

I just froze Smiley & Kang until next year.

Homeboy

3 months of nothing feels disappointing after months of new ships. Everyone will get those 3 to max just by using dabo wheel. Maybe add newer ships to Dabo rotation then?

Arena going to be quiet for months..

Commander Sinclair

Oh good, 3 months off fighting for top Arena schems!

I don’t know about replacing schematics with replicator rations...I’d probably just give up on the arena and daily lose whichever five battles go the quickest if that was the case. I can understand why older 5* schematics are still made available - newer players would have a tough time getting these leveled up to a useful point just from Dabo wheel spins - but three months straight of old ships at all levels is just useless.

But just think – we will be able to buy newer schems during the Skirmish Events! Does that not make you happy?

And at the low, low cost of 350 dil for the chance to get 150 schematics you need and 1000 you don’t. Wow!

Ha ha yeah, pointless even trying those packs. I did three pulls and I had zero legendary schematics. Lesson learned - next time I'll just punch myself in the nuts for the pain feeling. Its not like they add anything to the game, and are useless in skirmishes anyway unless you can get it to 9 or 10/10*, I just fancied a cloaking legendary ship that wasn't Klingon.

Still in 12 months time they *might* add the Valadore to the loot table/dabo table or Arena rewards, then again they probably wont, rather recycle the old garbage schems that people have had maxed for two years! I can't imagine they are that many *new* players who don't already have them.
