Have the points been adjusted for the reduced season length?

Have the points been adjusted for the reduced season length?

Nope.

They made some changes in November which helped, I think it was rough 17% or so? reduction in costs.

Problem is, appears those numbers were decided before the very accelerated timeline announcement a couple weeks back.

They need drop gear costs further or increase arena point rewards. If you miss a week you're screwed, some won't fully gear before next season starts, and many will be geared on the last week only lol.

You basically can't even have an alt, unless it's already ready to go prior to season start and you don't miss a cap. If you hit 70 on an alt in the next couple of weeks you'll need to wait til s2.

My goodness you folks CRY so much about something you feel entitled to but aren't.

If you are too busy to complete this in time then you don't get it. PERIOD!

All of the crying and whining from people that don't want to EARN ANYTHING is ridiculous. Either put more time in or lighten your other obligations but you are not guaranteed to get this.

And guess what? You SHOULDN'T get it. Those that devote the time should get this and YOU should be behind. That is how it works.

I made this much simpler looking calculator for calculating arena points based on the formula in the blue post:

It's hosted on GitHub Pages and I'm using a privacy-friendly counter (GoatCounter) just to see how much traffic it gets. No ads, no trackers, just math.
