Thanks for proving me right. It's not an opinion.

And as I've said, I'm not a top end user.

And as I've said, I'm refreshing almost the exact same amount now, if anything slightly less when the max jump is one I can take advantage of.

Just like no one was negatively affected by the old system it was inconvenient though wasnt it

That's not true at all. I was negatively affected by the old system for 2.5 years. It wasn't an inconvenience, it was actually impossible to get the top jump.

But as mentioned, everyone has *always* ignored the far left panel. Why does it matter that you now ignore the far right instead?

Both of your statements are false

1. While sometimes it was difficult and required a lot of refreshes it was never impossible to get the max jump and I agree you were inconvenienced by that fact and you may have used crystals due to taking sub optimal jumps but that was a choice you made.

2. I run Jedi in arena for fun on my alt account and I have distinct advantages over some squads and other ones that completely wreck my squad. I have to be very choosy about what squads I fight and if couldn't get an advantage against a tram in the middle or right panel I would take a small jump in the left panel to try to get around the wall of teams I have no chance against.

So, I guess you are happy as long as it isn't you having to hit that refresh button?

Not at all. I actually didn't care that much about it in the first place. I just settled for a lower rank and did an extra attack. However, the amount of refreshes needed to find the most optimal opponent for you currently are no where near the amount of refreshes needed to get max jumps regardless of rank before the change.
It's worth noting that pretty much everyone asked for a slider, but ea/cg decided otherwise.
A toggle is unlikely to happen, but if it makes others happy i'm all for it. I'm just saying the current situation might not be as bad as it seems. Perception is a tricky sob. It's like people modding palp with potency and being convinced he stuns/shocks more because of that.

You guys don't even know how feasible a toggle is.

Nobody knew how feasible the change to the new system would be. That didn't stop people from asking for it every other week till it happened. Funny thing is no one really opposed that idea like this one is being opposed. Does it really make a difference to you if there was a toggle option?

that's funny indeed, i didn't actually see anyone oppose the toggle button.

I have a question for folks that don't like the change. A week ago when you entered arena looking for a match and the very first set of 3 showed a favourable matchup on the far right, what did you do?

Did you enter the match because it was favourable? If so, how did you know it wasn't 10+ ranks below max jump? If not, why not?

I've not seen any lists showing max jump info beyond rank 40 or so, so I'm genuinely curious.

I've only been playing since August/September and I really appreciate the change. Thanks Dev team

I do wish people would stop going on about how this change has not affected people in a negative way.

It has affected me in a negative way.

It now takes me longer to do something than it did before - fact. Ergo, this change has affected me in a negative way.

Standards may have indeed been raised for some but not for all.

And I'm telling you that it doesn't take you longer than before, that it is confirmation bias. It's taking longer now because you weren't aiming quite as high before as you are now, and the only reason you are aiming higher now is because you can now see the max rank on the right.

It seems like it has impacted you in a negative way, but it's just your perception of it that is negative. It hasn't actually done so.

It is annoying because I can't beat most of the teams anymore and I just keep going to the ones I can't beat

Bringing back four month old threads is also annoying.

You see the entire range of teams you can fight in the left and centre slots, with the right team being the max jump. If you can't beat any of the teams between where you are now and the max jump it might be time for a new arena squad.

Keep refreshing a few times. It's still far better than players refreshing for 5 minutes and still not seeing their max possible jump.

never, it's typically a gain of one or two levels, right most 20-30

From most peoples explanations we are seeing is that the left 2 are acting like the right 2 did. And since the 3rd panel was a wash, I'm not sure I see the issue.

No, the right two panels are not much of a gain, the third panel is the only way to make headway.

Currently my rank is 182. Left 180 central 163 right 154.
Why do I no longer get a choice on the right panel, even if it is 155 or 156? Much better than 180 or 163.

Thank you.
