Pause Leaderboard Rewards for Arena

[tiny gale]

Please pause the reward system until the new patch is out.
I played today for the first time in weeks. and i had so many bugs.
I lost so many games because of different bugs.

Bring the Patch, start the Reward system and do a Hard Reset.
Fair for Everyone.

I mentioned this in the Arena channel also.

That's likely what will occur in the future, right now we're not halting deployments that need to pass through four environments and three rounds of testing.

We need to keep deploying with as little downtime as possible.

To pause the Reward System now is not trivial. It's additional dev, additional testing, additional deployments.

The Patch is moving through the Deployment Pipeline, remember we're still very much in early beta testing phase.

Appreciate the feedback though, we can ensure this happens for Season 2.

i know. than i guess will skip the next weeks. i can´t play like that. only going down in rank with the bugs right now.

The update has 90 fixes going live with the balancing.

So we should continue to see stability improvements.

i know i saw the patch notes. but until then, i will not play.
Should have patch and rewards at the same time. i know what you said but thats not fair for the players.
maybe its only me idk.
I know you all working very hard. only wanted to get some feedback out.

In a 1.0 version of the product - maybe. During beta testing - you cannot sacrifice the speed of development over some stupid fairness.

Harsh reality, even in big web2 games would be, everyone is on the same patch, so bugs/balance etc. can be troublesome, but sample size will defeat them eventually.

Obviously e.g. atm being „lucky“ and winning first post reset games will save you lots of time.
15games/week are likely enough to only reward that lucky streak for one week though and have others be able to catch up next one.
