Squad Arena lame

The rewards do not need to be improved. They were nerfed and it was a massive QoL win.

You must be new to the game. Arena used to be the best place for crystals. It's a legacy event that at best is a sand box now if your arena shard has a group cooperating. We routinely use each other to test new counters.

If there's a lame waste of time it's Squad Arena! The rewards are so lame it's not worth the time or effort to play. It's mandatory to play only to max out your dailies, but if it wasn't I don't think many would use valuable time to engage it. It only takes a year to max out all the characters in the shipment rewards using Squad Arena tokens so the only thing leftover is salvage pieces that are useless after you have over 1,000 of them! What then, why not end the lame salvage pieces and really put in something we use all the time like zeta's, or chromium transistor for relicing characters.

Furthermore, chromiums are the easiest piece to get. Gimme ccb or bw and id try in sa again

CCB would be great.
BW is easy to get.
Farm more shock prods.

Like; seriously, why would anyone suggest that making something lame is a good thing?

The squad arena is all but pointless, wayyyyyy whoopdedooooo.

Tvf please rationalise your thinking, cos for the life of me I cannot think of anyway reason as to why a software developer would want to make a part of their product “lame”.

So please, do tell?

Do you enjoy doing two arena climbs every day? Moving crystals out of SA for CG meant that players could no longer rely on a single squad for the majority of their crystal income. But for the players it meant that it was no longer necessary to do two arena climbs every day to maximize their rewards. This was a time consuming practice and tethered you to your phone every day at the same time simply to climb.

For a long time we all just accepted that that's the way it was going to be - then CG changed it (made it 'lame') and gave us all back at least an hour of our day every day. That's clearly a good thing. Improving the rewards in SA would be dangerous - if they made them too good, people would feel compelled to go back to that and there are lots of players, myself included, who would much prefer not to. This was always one of the least appealing aspects of this game and I'm glad they've done away with it. With just one climb now (fleet arena) I can get that done in 15-30 minutes on most days and I'm quite happy with that.

I do appreciate not having to do those battles every day. Maybe they could tweak the daily mission and give us some kyros for doing 3 battles or getting 3 wins. We could do those battles at any time and not worry about rank. Of course I am typing this without checking to see what the current rewards are…

One thing we all can note here is this event has lost it's luster since GAC has changed. Squad Arena is much easier to daily task with a push of a button " forfeit " then go for it, basically for bragging rights then for rewards. Why doesn't the developers just end the event and spread out the rewards to the other daily challenges, and make it one less thing for the daily challenges?

17 toons and ship Prestige

That's the main point of it. If you don't need those anymore, you can delete it in your mind and stop doing it, but I still do it for the shard shop currency. I don't care if I'm number one, but I won't let myself drop down too far either.
