POSSIBLE ARENA SPOILERS!!!!

You know what really grinds my gears?

When your fighting someone in the arena and they Purple Crystal out, or dashboard.

YOUR STREAK DOESNT GO UP!!!!

Lost three straight points in a row cause of this

Does it reset their streak though?

Cowards Crystal indeed.

Im juts hoping the new PSN update allows me to either get the patch or download the DLC.... NA has it right?

WOW!!!!

4 times in a row now. This is quite ridiculous.

Streak should be at 12......

LOL a new form of trolling has begun..... isnt it hard to PC out?

Don't fight in the arena, problem solved.

buuuut its so much fun and its new for me(360)

It doesn't seem like you're having fun. And there's nothing you can do to stop them. You can rush at them when try to crystal out, but there's nothing you can do if they dashboard.

Oh I'm still having fun, its just annoying when it happens

Gave you a uprep for that, partly because it was sad to see you with a negative rep ant partly because you decided to stay there.
I haven't played on the arena on PS3 yet, and i probably wont be playing there either, i prefer invading/hosting.

you can interupt the animation with the golem axe r2 forcing them to stay and fight...

What bracket are you playing in? I'm about to hit it hard with my 125's because I haven't built my 100's yet. Absolutely dreading that.

You know what annoys me? People who care about their streak. I'm not liking the arena so far. The area is pretty large, and people get up a round then turtle for the streak. I also didn't realize health wasn't going to reset between rounds, so I didn't build my character for a healing spell... It isn't hard to notice I'm not healing after a win, but still, they'll beat me by one hit and woosh, great heal.

Three wins doesn't get you a care package.

End rant?

Haha. Referencing killstreaks. I dig it. But three kills for the Carepackage? Who runs Hardline?

QUICKDRAW.

You are able to interrupt the cast, golem Axe is probably super useful for it, but if they equip full havel and wolf ring might take more then one cast to break the poise.

I live arena for the death matches and team death matches. Duels are Meh.

Well the arena is there for competitive purposes i.e. getting a high streak.

Sorry if people turtle/run away. I havent done that or seen it so its outside my experiences.

Leaving the arena in anyway shape or form, resets your streak trust me.
Got up to an 8 streak the otherday should have been 14 with how many people dashboarded on me. Then the VERY next match, got paired with a hacker.... I turned off my xbox. Came back. Streak = 0. So signing out, quiting game, purple crystal, or turning off your system ALL reset your streak.
There is a guy that is on the 51-100 top 5 duel leader boards.
And his stats show his hacks.
3000 hp
400 stamina....

I can't say I care about streaks, I'm just there to improve my pvp abilities.

they must have patched that then because on PC it didn't reset streak and it was super common in PC to crystal out if you were down.

Yes i think they did. Ill have to do some further testing.

I think it does because when people crystal out, they appear OUTSIDE of the stoicism, And if you do that crystal or not, it automatically resets their score.

I don't even have the cowards crystal equipped lol.

its good to use when your stuck in the cage waiting 30 minutes for a full game. A nice exit it is lol
