Anyone built a set of gear purely for arena?

    Yes you gain points if the AI wins. For me the equilibrium of win/loss of the AI keeps me at around spot 600, 700 on weekends.

    Can I win points without actually playing?
    people challenge my AI char and if they loose I get those points?

    bojck Yeah, I need to start my season push too. I'm so behind! Been too busy with all my family getting sick.

    Good luck!

    Maybe it’s my own (lack of) gaming prowess, but my build actually went up in levels to around 400th place just from the ai playing it (from 500, best I managed myself). Think it’s due to the ai handling devastate teleporting way better than I do.

    So for a first test it’s definately a success. Final version will probably have low amounts of dodge and parry as well for more damage mitigation.

    bojck And who is Kinnu, by the way? Hegemony mentioned him recently, but I don't think I've ever come across him. Is he still active?

    haha thanks : ) Yeah it was fun, hadn't played in quite a while... I'm curious to see some of Kinnu's SCR or Arcanist builds there, not sure which one he 'left' in the arena

    Congratulations on your Arena win, bojck ! Hope it was a fun fight.

    bojck Yes, I won, but only because it was AI. You'd beat me handily for sure in a real PvP.

    ah my guy is still running the fireball build, I assume you kicked his ass : P He's doing ok though, lost just 250 points in a month

    bojck I finally got to challenge your mage!

    A big "Thank you!" to you and Romme for all the video tutorials. I'd never have made it this far without your assistance.

    bojck The AI seems to kite sometimes. Not sure if it's intentional or by random chance, though. Once in a while I'll get a BH that hides offscreen and spams traps or snipes from a distance, or one that keeps running away while shooting at me.

    True.

    Yes and no. The devs plan to balance the Arena, but those changes are not in the works and won't come "soonish".

    Eternium will never have real-time PvP. This would require the game to be moved entirely server-side, making offline play impossible. Too much code would have to be rewritten to make this a viable option. Maybe in a sequel, though...someday.
Working...
