Of course, a non-politician who legally changes his name to None of the Above and runs for president is the plot of my first novel. So, I can’t help but agree with you. 
The next book is Hot Nights and Cold Wars, which is somewhat like The Matrix meets War Games.
Says who? And it’s not a matter of law. It’s a matter of server load.
Tuesday are Faction Assaults, Thursdays are Class Trials and usually Sundays have an event going on.
“can only”
Class trials see almost no play. Down to 64 battles by #24 on the leaderboard.
Guessing != fact.
Extrapolating from a single point of data or taking limited samples as the full picture is very uninformed.
Yeah… Based on the devs scheduling the events.
It “may” run on any day (if the servers can handle it)… But “can only” run on the days they scheduled it. 
I kind of thought I might be exaggerating, but from the adventure board I can see I wasn’t. I was awake 11 hours before I finally played.
I’ve already warned my guild that my weekly donations will drop half a million gold a week. I hope it’s not more than that.
Am I the only one?
I can’t do a fourth day of playing this god awful arena 3 times. I concede. Life is too short to go through this suffering. I’m so irritable playing it that I almost got into a fight with my wife.
3 people in my guild already told me they’re boycotting this mode.
Every time arena is a campaign task I plan to return to the forums to complain.
Took me 6 hours to succumb, but I’ll take the bait. Since you think you’re so smug putting up a screencap of a dictionary reference.
CAN = Ability to. Is able to. CAN devs schedule it on any other day, i.e. do they HAVE THE ABILITY TO? Yes. Can the devs run the event from Thursday to Saturday? I don’t know if they want to, but I do know they HAVE THE ABILITY TO.
MAY = probability/possibility. The devs MAY schedule it on Saturday, or they MAY not. It’s probable still, since we have Pets on Wednesday and it has been tentatively scheduled for Wednesday. So it MAY (within realms of probability) happen on a Saturday (just as an example). Or maybe not. It is not without probability.
Or have we missed something, do you know for a fact that the devs hard-coded a stop to the event mode such that it DOES NOT HAVE THE ABILITY to be run on a Saturday? It will crash the game if it is?
Nobody knows. But now we do know English is not your strong suit.
Speak less, lest you reveal more ignorance.
Sounds improbable: in my guild, most players will just continue to ignore the mode as they always have.
It does however match a trend observed among Guildies since more updates incorporating restrictions have been implemented, in line with this company’s ‘pay to reduce grind’ philosophy: participation in World Events is consistently waning, with a few exceptions when the restrictions still allowed for fun team building for all levels of players.
This week, only 16/30 Guildies have even started World Event, not in small part compliments of preventing players from using the weapons they like to expedite the mindless grind.

Well I was too except they added the daily offers which gave a reason to play that mode while at the same time making it much more painful to play.
It’s like they spread my favorite chocolates on a mouse trap.
Boy you really feel skull fall when there is so little margin for error. It’s really infuriating. I’m still stressed and angry from my last arena match. I feel like ranting. I guess I am.
When we thought their gaming design couldn’t get any worse- it has. Makes the old arena even with the old complain against Dawnbringer threads- look like a stroll.
In language you might understand whoever decided on this current nonsense; It gaming garbage.
The 3 extra daily deal offers just aren’t worth it. If you feel like me then doing an arena run is like pulling a tooth. I want the small chance at an imperial deed but not if I have to pull a tooth to get it. What’s the guess on droprate of imperial deed offers? 1:100? 1:200? I’m not going to do 100-200 arena runs just for the “privilege” of buying an imperial deed.
Such an opportunity gone to waste. They could have done a true revamp and made this mode fun and exciting but no, they took the lazy way out and simply removed the hero and changed rewards. Minimal effort.
Another thing I am fearing is if we will see less deeds/Imperial deeds from the Adventure Board, because they added the daily deal offers from Arena runs.
You took a bad minigame and made it worse, why not drop the arena and come up with something different.
The arena is total gaming rubbish in its new format. To actually make as said a mini game worse than it actually was doesn’t bode well for the direction you are taking the game as a whole.
Indeed.
Remember when we got told the 1 year to level all kingdoms to 15, and the regular forum gurus calculated that it would take way longer based on AB analysis. We got told calculations were way off…
Well here we are with AB deeds being way worse than that, only half at best.
Now we have arena daily offers giving crumbs whilst AB continues to underserve Deeds and Imperial Deeds.
The AB is not working remotely at all for the acquisition of Deeds and Imperial Deeds. Forget Level 20 and greater kingdoms, we still at this rate are 1 year away from all L15, even buying them.
I’m holding total judgement until after the Arena event - but I reckon the writs/hour scenario is going to be brutal at best…
Let me stop you right there.
You baited yourself by trying to argue my use of the words “can only”. So I won’t even enable your desire to argue just for the sake of arguing by continuing to read any asinine possible argument you could have for an argument I got from a Google definition screen grab. Get help.
Pet gnomes CAN ONLY be currently be found in PvP or the arena.
Arena events CAN ONLY be found (based on the US calendar) Monday… Wednesday…or Friday - Sunday.
Furthermore, it is absolutely ridiculous for you to identify the smugness of others while being completely oblivious to your own. Weeks ago you stated you were going to ignore my posts on the forums. I highly suggest you go back to that policy.
If @Fourdottwoone wants to argue my use of two words when replying to his comment then he can do so. You inserting yourself into the conversation just tells me you really do lack the self control from engaging with me. Pathetic.
It’s been asked before. The devs have given a very firm “no” to that question.
The Public Beta Test team functions more like a focus group than traditional beta testers for software. Although we do look for bugs in the beta builds that we test, the devs are equally interested (if not more so) in the data we generate via our playthroughs of content that is being tested. From that, balance changes are made to that content for the version of it that reaches the production servers. We generally aren’t made aware of design decisions or gameplay intentions regarding the content we are testing to avoid bias, unless knowing these concepts is necessary to generate the desired data needed for balancing purposes (i.e. we are asked to play in a very specific manner regarding tested content).
I remain hopeful that a future version of Arena will allow players to pick the Epic Troop first.
It needs to have 4 rows of three, one selectable per row. THAT would be team building. Otherwise it’s just random luck. Or unluck, if you prefer.
Every time you double-down on defending your posts, it just confirms I am not speaking to an intellectual equal. It was a revelation when I discovered you cannot understand complex concepts like statistical probability, binomial distribution, extrapolation, etc, but it turns out your posts have to be reinterpreted in future bearing in mind you may not be the most eloquent or precise in your use of English.
Unfortunately, life is not like the Black Mirror episode White Christmas where everything you post can be magically removed by the server via a setting. Or maybe I had the wrong setting. I only used the “Muted” setting, may have overlooked the “Ignored” list. Added it now, hope it works. 
Fact of the matter is you made a claim, and it is wrong, based on straightforward interpretation of the statement.
So, do you or do you not have inside information that DEVs are planning to ONLY ever run the events on Mon, Wed or Fri-Sun? Or did you make a premature conclusion based on spoilers (check up the meaning of this word) that reveal only 5 weeks ahead, thereby not excluding the possibility of any plans the devs may or may not have long term for this completely new mode.
No doubt you will keep doubling down on defending your misguided post with some more tangential argument, but hopefully the “Ignore” user works its magic and I won’t see it to care.
| Pet gnomes CAN ONLY be currently be found in PvP or the arena.
Yes, because this has been programmed as stated in the helpdesk articles, so pet gnomes only have the ability to appear in those two modes.
| Arena events CAN ONLY be found (based on the US calendar) Monday… Wednesday…or Friday - Sunday.
Please show us official information that state this as fact, e.g. “publishers have told the devs to only schedule it on those days - which would remove their ability to schedule them at other timeframes”. If you cannot, then this is not fact.
(1) Spoilers are subject to change. (2) It is folly to predict the future based on 5 weeks’ worth of spoiler information on a new mode. That’s like claiming “Pet Rescue will run twice a month on Saturdays”, based on this single month when it has been scheduled twice on Saturday.
What we do know (spoiler)
is that it has tentatively been scheduled for a Wednesday for a single day, a Monday for a single day, and a weekend from Friday through Sunday. There is a good possibility these dates are all correct, but not 100% confirmed. What the devs have in store for this mode beyond that is anyone’s guess.
