Infinite Archive Save Progress Every 5 Arcs

Feyziness · July 17

I’d like to know what others think of being able to save progress every 5 arcs until the weeks reset point from which all progress is reset as well. I ask because it is quite time consuming and I assume quite a number of players would benefit from it and participate in the Archive more often, myself included. Family and Work really limit how far one can go. Anyways, just curious what others are thinking.

I think we need a save but 5 arcs is too much. 2 arcs is ideal for me because I start getting tired sitting and doing constant combat any longer than that.

(I can't vote because none of the options are accurate for me.)

Ok, but if you leave IA and come back to a save the amount of AF that you get from Stages resets to 200.

Why not save at the end of every arc?

But there's nothing you're missing out on so why would a save point be necessary?

Probably something to do with the Leaderboards. It's fine as it is. It has been this way since it's release and newer players should have to go through it, just like the rest of us.

I’d be fine with that

Would like to see how far I can take my build without having to reset due to time constraints

I'm missing out on experiencing the higher arcs. I have made it to Arc 5 but then stopped because I was just too tired to go on. I think we should be able to save and continue until we use up all our threads.

I don't care about the leaderboards. Just give us a casual mode with saves and no leaderboard.

i have never been able to finish Arc 4, because it takes too much time to get that far and by then i have way less energy than in Arc 1.

There should be a save and it should *be* at every Stage or Cycle.
And i absolutely do not care about the Leaderboards.

edited to add :
*be*.
And i wish i could optionally skip the Stages, they are not fun and take very long in later Arcs.

I voted yes, but it is not accurate because, like some other posters here, I would prefer a save more frequently (preferably after each Arc).

I have once made it to Arc 6 solo, and it might have been the most tiring experience I have ever had in any game. I was not out of threads but physically could not continue. Since then, I have not gone past Arc 4, and I already start to feel the fatigue in Arc 3.

I do not care about the leaderboard, and if they want to nerf Fortune drops if you save and come back, well, I consider that unnecessarily punishing but acceptable.

Unfortunately, I doubt they will ever do this. It is probably technically quite complicated to implement because a lot of data has to be saved on the server. IA instances are far more complicated than standard arena instances since the buffs are randomised.
