Has anyone thought about a toggle arena availability on off ?
I mean if you signup up with 3 ppl.. and say one group member goes to the toilet and just in this moment the group get forced to fight in the arena..? what happens `-> you lose coz one member is afk .. so i think there should be an option that members or atleast arenagroup leader can set "fight available" on or off.. so you wont get force when one or all are afk.
Its not like everyone is now gonna log coz they are afk and in an arenagroup ....

The leader of the arena group determines whether the arena group is queue'd and it requires they all be online and in a group (they don't actually need to be near each other or at any particular location). Leaving the queue is instant and can be done by any member at any time.

does the leader pay the 25k registration fee or is it split between all 3 players? Or does each player have to pay 25k .....?

Destructions observation was correct. The buff to heroic mode epics drops was put into place yesterday with some internal arena testing.
More information has been added to the sneak peak post about PK's in arenas and a general PK safety buff.

for the first part yes they will no longer flash red.
same as with clan battles now, they will only flash when either forcing or forced upon.

then they wont suffer.
and before you start ranting at me, im a piercer

pierce isnt really meant for PvP hence why they suck in PvP

I understand that piercers are mainly a PvE weapon, but they could atleast be competetive with other weapons. As they are now, they are mainly a joke PvP, all I am asking is that.

no your asking for more BUFF ME PLOXERS threads. you make more then anyone else.
seriously if you dont like piercers, then reroll or try using a different weapon.
piercers are able to compete in PvP with the right build

not at cap they are not... the 88 1h piercer vs 89 1h crusher...
I understand crusher is epic, but piercers have relatively same delay and do 1/2 the damage!!!!!
and do they suck PvP or dont they??... u have said that they do then come back to say that they dont. I am confused.

Piercers in general suck at PvP.
BUT
with the right build they can be good.
it is all in the way you build your char, the same as with every other weapon type, you just have to work harder at it.
