Most of the time even if you que at the exact same time, it will not match you up together right away, and most likely will match you up with 2 different opponents instead of each other. This leads me to assume there's SOMETHING that blizzard takes into account for arena matchmaking instead of just pure match people up as fast as possible. Whether this something is just a delay then random selection, or delay then random weighted selected based on deck record, or based on something else entirely I do not know. Could just be a mmr rating assigned to you based on deck record, then expanding range of matchable elo until someone matchs it. Earlier in beta when there were not as many people in my friend and I did this and it worked fine (we got matched up against each other). We tried recently and it hasn't worked though. | ||

We tried recently and it hasn't worked though. I have tried to do this in arena as well about 3 weeks ago a couple times with several attempts to get this done. I have also tried it multiple times since even very late at night (4-5am NA server time) I think there maybe some de-prioritization on getting a queue up (especially in arena) with someone on your friends list. IT would make sense if this was the case because you wouldn't want collusion to potentially come into play with arena. | ||

Anytime you get less than 4 wins, you would have been better to buy packs and Play instead. Hopefully, they'll increase the gold for poor results at release. IMO, playing the Arena is worth more than just buying a pack. Sure in the beginning you will loose some gold but after a while, you will start winning more and your rewards will be a lot better and worth it. Even if you have a bad score in Arena, you at least have a pack and some gold as rewards (I had a pack and like 40gold for going 2-3 in my 1st attempt). I also think arena make you learn the game faster and better. Buying pack with gold isn't a better idea from my point of view. | ||

They might be counting on people using the juicy D3 money to buy into it it though, but it must be really depressing to be a neophyte in arena with the current rewards. | ||

The only way ive been doing it, is arena run (if you run low a daily quest is normally enough 40 gold :D and they normally require u to play like 2-3 ladder games which is 10 gold) Also getting 100 arena wins and 100 ladder wins gives u a ton of gold cant remember how much tho. But ive been wondering how do constructed players go about making gold (3 games for 10 gold seems soooo slow) | ||

The idea the deck should have is win or lose in 7-8turns top. An example of a rush deck would be Murlock or the OTK (one turn kill) Chanman's Unleash the hounds works too for this purpose. | ||

O_o still seems so slow just to get gold, like atm i got it very recently (thankyou shiro) and like i love playing the arena because i have a set of expensive decklists i need to make (with dust and hopefully some pack luck) so running through the arena seems like the best choice, i get to have fun with arena and i dont get bored cause i havnt even finished my decks :D But lets say ur a top constructed players and u've got 2 main expensive decks (expensive i mean like you used a ton of dust) how do you go about making new ones (sure some cards carry over like legendaries) but as far as i know u dont get dust or alot of gold to create new cards/buy new cards (through pack luck) by laddering (like ladder reward seems so tiny) Does this mean everyone has to arena run to make decks (not counting buying a shit ton of packs and praying) i mean like in game. I seriously doubt farming at 10 gold per 3 win (not matter how fast u win) and then spending 100 gold on a pack and hoping for a card you require is a good way to go. (also disenchanting worthwhile cards probably from ur other top decks seems like a counterproductive idea to get new ones) | ||

Going 2-3 in arena gives you back the 50g entry fee for the most part. | ||

But ive been wondering how do constructed players go about making gold (3 games for 10 gold seems soooo slow) 3 games for 10 gold feels really good actually imo. You spam enough games they add up pretty quickly. Before the big patch it was 5 wins for 5 gold~ | ||

But that still doesnt answer how constructed players make decks (from scratch) they gotta arena run for the dust right? would you be happy if it was 3wins gives 10 gold and 5 dust? that way a hardcore constructed ladder player would also be able to make his decks | ||

 ).The fastest way to get cards/dust is by winning arenas (6+), as long as you don't go always 0-3 playing arena is the better choice than getting a pack for 100g. You can make the 50 gold difference with the dust/gold the arena gives you. Remember that arena has a chance to give you a random card togheter with the other prizes (and for what my experience has been, the chances for it to be golden are really good*). *I'm not talking about the golden card you get at 9 wins. And also it' may just have been me and my luck, but considering out of 50+ packs I've opened only 2 had legendaries... I think my luck is a non factor on the golden cards ---- For a game that is FTP, the amount of gold you get for 3 wins is really nice. Pre-patch, as mentioned, 5 gold for 5 wins was a long grind and I still thought It was fair ^^" | ||

One of those 1-3 runs netted me a legendary, an epic and a rare from the prize pack. I'd say that for sure was worth it. | ||

I've heard of some cases where the player dumps all gold into packs, doing zero arena runs. Whether that's efficient or not I'm not sure~ | ||
