Hey guys, I've been playing this game for a few months now and arena is a hot place just before the reset. Me among some other of the top players fight for the #1 spot. Sometimes I get it, sometimes I do not.. To maximize my chances to be #1 when the reward is given out at the reset time, I start my 1st try 1 hour before the reset and keep trying until I have 1 last arena shot to go. I keep that one for the last few seconds before the reset. I believe most of us call this "sniping", right? When I started doing it I felt uncomfortable with this but after being sniped myself a few times, I figured that's the way the game works after all. I dislike it but unless an update deeply change this mechanic, I have to live with it... Tonight I got lucky on my last shot and I did beat the guy that has a 4* Nixaes in his defense composition. I beat him often with my free to play heroes but he always beat me back within a minute or two so the only times I get rank 1 is when a snipe occurs. Well this time I think he got mad and he messaged me requesting that I stop sniping from now on... So... I would like to know what is your opinion on that issue? Is there a code of conduct that I should follow regarding sniping? Or not? I understand why he's mad but... The game is, like it or not, made that way... I'm open to stop doing this but I feel like a part of the fun will go away if I don't do it anymore... Don't throw too much hate towards me please, I'm asking for your opinion, whatever your side might be!

Sniping is part of the game, absolutely valid and I don't see how to resolve it. I have also sniped and was sniped. Why should it be more fair to stop attacks 10 min before or 5 or 15 or whatever? Situation would still be the same.
A possibility to reduce the impact would be making all times only depending on the time zone of your device like in Heroes Charge, but that would mean a lot of reprogramming and still Sniping would happen.

thanks for the feedback, I'm looking for more feedback so I'll post this on the facebook HT group. I'd like to hear opinions from the other side..

Do it if that's how you want to do it. Sniping is super aggro inducing but it's a mechanic that's part of the game.
If it's a guildy, hope that they keep sharing that 4* Nixaes though...

well, we have 2 other Nixaes (3*)
I really dislike this threat.. He applied it (stopped sharing Nixaes but he shares other stuff so I guess it's ok, right?)

You don't really have a leg to stand on if your premise is sniping is okay because the game mechanics allow it (you said when you do it you don't feel right or at least didn't at the start). Then in the same breathe you're upset cause the guildy won't share which a specific hero which is also allowed by the game mechanics.
I'm assuming that they're sharing other heroes that are also helpful?

Well if he is a guild colleague it's more about guild conduct. Not all guilds tolerate fights within the guild.
Regarding sharing Nixaes, a 3* elemix is stronger against the guild boss and for anything else you shouldn't need to hire anyone.

I'm not upset, I assure you But I admit that the approach stunned me a bit.. He whispered me : keep sniping and I stop sharing Nixaes I was like.. uh.. ok.. But we talked and figured there would be no way to agree together so I told him to keep doing his thing and I'll do mine. End of story He shares other vip11 heroes anyways, and like I said. 2 other guildies have Nixaes (just lower level). But they'll reach the cap soon enough.. Regarding the fact he's a guildmate, well.. Our server, like many others, is not very crowded.. Everyone is in the same guild except a few that don't want to join us (to create some competition I guess). I would say 90% of the level 70+ are in our guild. It's impossible to avoid guildmates in the arena..

In your case , i would agree with you that this guy taking it a little serious. In my server, I constantly hold 1st in arena . Before update when the game got to the point that I lost some fights due to miss fest , people used to snipe me a lot. But then I snipe them back. Up to the point of we both sniping each other the last 10 secs . It was fun and thrilling. But I figured out my way to continue getting the reward 1st no matter what. I still shared Nix and Elemix . After update , we have all been racing to level 80 and it happens that my team is decent and no one in my server could defeat my def since lvel 71 till now 78. Some reasons because only me and Epin are at highest level in whole server, my team has some premium hnits and better items.well, I recently not sharing Nix and elemix due to they are strongest pets of whole server. I took it down because I want to hold my 1st in boss dmg. Nothing related to arena ranking. I just want my guaranteed 1050 coins every 2 days and that s it. But threatening not to share Nix because of someone snipe you in arena shows you are weak. Let me point out that at this point of the game where no one max pets and levels, whoever control strong premium units in arena will win . F2p wont stand a chance in arena if the high vip p2w players know how to build a good team in defense.

The other poster talked about not sharing Nixaes to hold #1 server rank a bit easier. Your guildmate is still sharing other heroes... it sounds like he gave a choice... sounds like he asked you to choose and you chose. It's not about one of you being childish or the other one being, it's just about perspective.

Ehh.. I would say keep sniping because it benefits you most if you get #1. Him not sharing the 4* Nixaes, you still could just use 3* your other guild mates provide. The damage difference might lower your boss damage rank(Elemix is better for f2p team anyway), but won't affect much on the guild coins rewards comparing to the extra diamonds and arena coins you get for #1 in Arena? The question here is: why should he be he one to get more rewards, but not you? Just Bc he paid? And has a 4* Nix? He couldn't make a good defense out of his 4* premium heroes and that's not your faults.
Here's another suggestions, if he's more confidence in his offense team, then you could suggest him to be the one sniping to secure his #1. Just because one is #1 in the morning, doesn't mean he/she should be #1 at reset.
I usually rank top 3 in my server, and I got sniped two or three times to rank 9 and 10 on lucky miss fest fights, I would get frustrated a bit, but I wouldn't pm the guy and say stuff like that. (I would only drop to rank 20ish and release my frustration by taking them down there 😈For the lucky miss fests they shouldn't have😈).
All of this still come down to: why should he be the one to get most benefits when his team isn't as solid as it should be? If he truthly believe he deserves it, he should make sure his team is invincible and undefeatabke. Simple as that ; )
