    But see why post something that could be your mistake? I don't remember them saying they'd be multiplayer but they could have. It's also very likely that they said something like this: "We'll be adding more multiplayer things, like dueling, a new map, volge sieges, dark matter arkfalls, and we'll be adding an arena." This could be taken two ways-that the arena would be MP too or that along with new MP things they'd be adding an arena. This is how all the accusations of lying get started when it simply could have been a mistake or some misunderstanding all around.

    I've yet to see them out and out lie about anything. There could have been things people misspoke about or things some were confused about and they did what many people do here-state something they might have remembered incorrectly.

    You might be right but until you know that, why assume the worst?

    And just because Arenas begin as SP things that does not mean they can't go MP. However, we're also going to have Sieges that are like Horde mode in MP. I'm not altogether certain that everything in this game has to be MP and most of it is. There are very few instances of SP anything.

    Paid part of DLC
    "– Access to a new Story Mission Line with new Battle Arena Game Mode
    – Access to the new Castithan Battle Arenas"

    Free part of DLC
    "– Join a friend into the Battle Arenas Game Mode"

    A dev also mentioned in a post somewhere that they had to make it solo only because they could not get the matchmaking to work.

    Who wants to do a hoard mode alone? That's one of the most stale things I have heard to date...
    For now, they are SP only. We want to add on MP in the future but I don't have a date for you.

    Because usually my memory does not let me down lol, but I never assume im always right regardless, anyone that does is rather foolish imo....

    and I don't mean "lie" to be hurtful or upsetting, but you have been around for a while Echo, and even you must admit there has been a fib or two....

    Fix the entire idea of arenas before making them co-op.
    The current system even in co-op is a disaster.

    5 waves of 2 minutes, 10 minutes only?
    Why not endless waves of enemies, each wave with more enemies/dificulty, replace the score system with total time survived and both options (solo and coop).

    Adding that to our list for the devs - we've already got suggestions of the same ilk, but wanted you to know that it's being passed along.

    Don't worry, they will prob go MP on the next DLC after. So it will cost us more $$ for it most likely. If the game survives much longer.
    WHY SO SERIOUS?

    It will survive, the paid content of the dlc is bad but the free content is very very good.
