ohh ppl mean having full max gear without farming or paying? can easily be parsing 5 mil+ without any of that stuff. but ya, you prob wont hit rank 1 as f2p

no point. arena is a trashhouse full of mostly smurfs running scripts. ppl that think their skills are god tier because they can one button win. no one respects the leaderboard, the rewards are bad, the queues are long, and its a big reason why ppl left the game.

its always been this way. the issue is the community. A majority of players that queue in arena do not wish to fight. Wall running around the outside of the arena to win by time is a hot tactic for a bulk of players.

definitely isn't p2w. you only have to pay to keep up if you only login like 30 minutes per week to play. can farm or pay. The biggest issue is the top 5 with godping all have around 20 smurfs each. Also the scripts ppl run are pretty insane(record anytime you go arena because when you report they will ask for vid).

If they cared about stuff like that old bugs from years ago would be fixed and xml editors would have all the accounts under the same IP banned.

arena is busted. no point in even trying except to afk queue 3 matches for bloodstones.1300s-1500s is all the same 5 top players on smurfs. ppl with 20 bm accounts so they can one button you 100%-0 with some fight dodging sins peppered in to stealth around the outside of arena until they win with time. arena is a ded game mode. No skill-based fights in months.

I wish. that was rare though. typically i fight ppls 20th alt vs a gold. I will never understand how ppl can do that for fun. imagine being afraid to fight people your own skill level. This season has been the worst ive seen. an easy 1650 last season is now 1300s-1400s.

nope. wasn't talking about 1v1. everything he said was incorrect. I play on 3 toons and 1400s is 10x more competitive then 1700s. Many of the top players farm the lower elo, I actually know them(incase you are too lazy to check account name). and 200+ elo is very possible. i get people over 1600 on my 1420 destro. Seems like he is very sure of things that are simply untrue. Maybe spend less time in forums and more time in the game. @Nagisa Yuki

performing a repair each time you login should fix the issue.

nah its still busted. its why no one queues in arena and no one respects the pvp ranks. even 1400s its only top 5 players on alts/multi accounts. This season if you make it to 1500s you are a god. it means you wrecked the best players in bns that just camp 1300s->1400s. Best to just queue for 3 matches and afk for bloodstones. Think class rank 1-40 of each class all one person each. Not to mention since no one queues matches can be over 200+ elo difference. fighting 1650s in low 1400s.

What components do you use? I've had the same issues since patch. At load-in screen I get 3000,104,10054 errors. Shouldn't be related to components, if anything my computer is too GOOD to run bns. File repair and spamming login ~5x seems to do the trick. Also ensure you periodically do a dns flush/ip released/ip renew. Each time i do file repair a 67.69 mb update occurs and then it allows me to proceed past character select. My guess is the recent patch had a file in a misdirected directory. Maybe went to temp folder instead of where it belongs. After you restart have to repair anytime you play.

they won't remove alts. itll always be like 5 sweaty boys on a redic number of accounts having xml wars. I heard in the other version they did something to limit the exploits, though. hoping one day they bring that to our version to make it playable again.

Its not so much the balance(could use some fixing) but more of the abusers using exploits that make their advantages more pronounced. They said they are looking into the accounts though and take the issue seriously. Hoping to see another ban wave soon.

Because arena is a dead game mode. Long queues since people are over it. BM wrecked class balance but on top of that 90% of ppl queuing in the 1400s have top 5 characters. I'd say arena is down to about 5 people on 10+ different accounts. If you don't have god ping/can't beat the best in your class then you are wasting your time

All the PVP in bns is dead. No mid-tier for 6v6. If you are typically a rank 10-50 fighter, you are guaranteed to be in matches with lots of rank 1s(even in 1400s elo). Arena is even worse. It's like 5 ultra sweaty bois with god ping with 20 bms/bds accounts each no skilling through matchups. You can queue for hours and only get exp alt bms. Until the class balance/matchups stop being garbage i think most of the player-base is pvping elsewhere.
