[PSA] Alienware Arena is switching ARP over to a currency system

If you click on the games, you can see the ARP cost.



Seems rather cheap if you ask me, but then again those could just be placeholder.

Great. ARP boosters donā€™t affect Twitch Quests anymore, and probably the same to Steam Quests. :triumph:
You could get 30 ARP from the former and up to 150 ARP from the later.

Did they state that or is that from your testing? I could just be bugged if they didnā€™t state that.

I think it was a bug since the site was a mess yesterday.

Well hopefully it will get fixed then.

It still seems to be messed up. 337 ARP starting yesterday. Did both dailies and time on site. At 360 today and did the daily and time on site. By my calculations I should be at 400 including the daily login and streak bonus.

For some reason all rewarded ARPs are having a delay when you complete the quests. It can take up to several minutes to update your total ARP.

Yeah I have noticed that, but Iā€™m still missing some beyond that. I just logged in and Iā€™m now at 380. With the 10 ARP I received for daily login and streak, Iā€™m still missing 30 by my calculations.

I did the two daily quests and received those points right away, so itā€™s looking like things are starting to catch up.

I will say that with this update I am active on the site again lol. After reaching master I really didnt do much for ARP gains and only really went on the site when they had decent giveaways. Now I have a reason to use my 13 Arp boosters :slight_smile:

I had level 15 and level 20 awards i never picked. I still donā€™t see them its like they were stole from me. I earned them i should still get to pick them.

Sadly they are now lost to the void post Alienware 6.0ā€¦ that said, you can purchase most Dell Rewardsā„¢ via the marketplace with ARPā€¦

I claimed all of my rewards right before 6.0 went live just to be safe, I assumed something like this was gonna happen.

Yeah, Iā€™m pretty sure that they also mentioned you would lose them if you had yet to redeem them, but I canā€™t seem to find the post or comment where they mentioned it. Maybe that part just got removed a while after the update went live.

I also did the same and grabbed the rest of the Dell rewards that were available, but just like the ones that I picked out near the end of December Iā€™ve yet to receive themā€¦ (Despite them claiming that the issues with said rewards were fixed and that they should be rolling out already.) May as well just send them another email, but theyā€™ll probably ignore it again.

Ok I got @agusnavarro :heavy_heart_exclamation: :heavy_heart_exclamation: :heavy_heart_exclamation:

Anyone else?

It takes forever to get your ARP any more. And those alien avatars are the pitts. I am so underwhelmed at the moment.

And of course people are still upset in the comments, including about the game vault, which was taken over by bots and resellers according to them.

Someone on the Nexus Discord said people are selling the keys on Steamtrades for 20$+! :face_exhaling:

I shouldā€™ve posted this a while ago but thereā€™s an event going on where the AWA community is playing Smite together to reach certain goals. More details below.

Again, sorry for not posting this earlyā€¦ :sweat:

I swear the admins of that site have no clue what they are doing. The Smite goal was reached in 1 day but the event runs for 2 weeks. Then they do the quest for it today but anyone who didnt help reach the horribly low amount of 1000 hours gets nothing. Why even run the quest if the event is already over.

Yeah. According to one of the mods:

Prizing is not handed out retroactively. Gotta get in on the ground level to get your prizes, but there is still a badge, border, and 50 ARP up for grabs.

So if you arrived late: tough luck, I guess. :neutral_face:

And yeah, the community has reached the milestone and the rewards have yet to be given. My booster is expiring and I donā€™t want to waste it. :sweat:

Edit: And the rewards were finally given today. My booster expired before I got the remaining points but hey, at least it wasnā€™t a total waste.

I also have none of the games from the Steam Quest so this appeared as a godsend to me.
