Mid-year Arena Update!

  • 59

 

We have been working hard this year to bring you valuable updates, new ways to stay connected, and fresh opportunities to earn Dell Rewards and ARP. Sometimes we get so excited to jump into the next project that we don’t highlight the ones that we’ve already done, so we wanted to give a mid-year update on everything that we've been working on at Alienware Arena! 

 

Discord - We are happy to bring you an exciting and unique Discord experience! You can now join our Discord to vote in polls and earn ARP, stay updated on giveaways, chat with staff, and connect with the community. You’ll even be able to take part in thrilling adventures and earn extra rewards!

 

Monthly Digest- Good news for those that like to track their progress and see how they measure up! The new monthly digest shows users how much ARP they’ve earned throughout the month, and how they rank among the community. If you haven’t been receiving this, make sure you check that you are opted in in the account settings! 

 

New Weekly Games - New Collect 'N Win weekly quests are open to give the entire globe more ARP! Not only does each game give you ARP, but winning each daily game gives you get a chance to play the bonus games for additional prizes. We plan on periodically rotating out these mini-games to keep them fresh and exciting.


Artifacts - This new addition to the site rolled out in February and has been a big hit! Not only can these help users earn more ARP, but the artifacts can be leveled up with fragments that can be earned through participation or claimed in the marketplace. Artifacts are a great way to enhance your experience on Alienware Arena and learn fun lore about the alien worlds. You can check out the newest offering Pn 295 Unstable Battery artifact available July 1st in the Marketplace!  

 

New Twitch Streamers - We have added additional streamers to our team around the globe to give everyone in different time zones more opportunity to earn ARP just by watching Twitch. Make sure to tune in and support their channels! 

 

More Community Events- Starting this year we have introduced more community events to bring you all together to play your favorite games! Participants have been able to earn more ARP and fragments and exclusive avatar items. Our team has had a blast creating these custom avatar items based on the games! What games would you like to see become a community event in the future? Lets us know! 


ARP Balancing -  I scream, you scream, we all scream when Game Vault games are out of our price range! To prevent this, we are reducing the value of some of our older systems like daily logins, no longer scheduling daily “scavenger hunt” quests for ARP, and sunsetting boosters over the next couple of weeks. With all these new routes for earning ARP, we needed to sacrifice in some areas to keep the economy balanced for the things that brought us all here… games!

 

Dell Rewards - We are happy to announce that Dell Rewards are now available to UK users (don't forget to check out the Marketplace for new items!) and are coming soon to both France and Germany. We have been very thrilled to bring you more DR this year with two Marketplace resets a year and we are constantly working hard to improve the system, offer even more DR, and open up to more regions in the future.

 

Coming Soon

Choose Your Own Steam Quest on July 1st! - We are elated to tell you all that users will now have the ability to choose a game from their own library to play for ARP! This will make it easier than ever before to participate in Steam quests. 

 

Community Giveaways - We have a new feature coming soon to allow the community to perform their own unique giveaways! If you have a few keys you’d like to pass along to the Alienware Arena community, you'll be able to securely do so.

 

We're continually adding new features and site improvements. Our recently updated homepage puts more relevant information in front of our members and we plan on releasing more updates in the near future. Our engineers are also hard at work developing a new communication system. With the help of our new extraterrestrial companions, we'll be entering into a new period of Alienware Arena history. It’s been a big year so far, and we aren’t stopping anytime soon!

It would be nice if you exchanged our unused ARP boosters for a small amount of ARP instead of just outright deleting them. After all those are rewards we have already earned. 'Couple of weeks' is not nearly enough time to spend them efficiently. I usually only used them at times when they guaranteed me at least 100 bonus ARP.

I have trouble with the having same Discord and AWA email address condition. Makes it unusable for me, also, does that mean Discord is leaking the email addresses of users then?

I still have a lot of boosters saved up for good days. Please don't just delete them.



Interstellar

Discord can't be used if the email addresses don't match. Well, you want me to scratch or like sacrifice one of them just to be part of your discord?

Think again and think fast....

I know, i know, quick thinking isn't your best feature

Sleep some nights on it and then make the right decision instead of ruling your customers out of participating on such an arbitrary decision.

On a good note, thanks for updating us with this news after you already implemented it.......

I love some of the new changes like being able to select between more than just the typical 3 games in the Steam quests, and picking games from your own library.

Also very interested in the addition of the Community giveaways, will be fun to see how that will work! I know I have some old keys I have no use for like I'm sure a lot of people do.

I still have 7 2x ARP boosters since I only ever use one every 2 weeks to double up on steam quest ARP.  Will the boosters be removed or we just won't receive any more in the future?
