I think I ended up playing 5 times or so – up to the Writs reward. It’s hard to know, because they forgot to build a proper User Interface for the Event!
It was passably entertaining, but took far too much time. And the offers were useless.
I think you would have to really love Arena to bother much with the Event.
Sad but True. Arena could be so much better with even a little bit of DEVS efforts, but the supposed “re-work” we get is really miserable and a step back from ALL the other Weekend Events!
Was waiting until Taran’s World updated and it’s finally been “confirmed” that Arena events are part of the rotation and will come back on Dec 11th. I realize this was probably known and that nothing will change until a new patch comes around, but I assumed that given the feedback, Arena events would simply be ninja-removed from the rotation. At least that confirms another free/stress-free weekend.
