I know some of you get upset about the site bugs, but polls actually show that Arena has a very high approval rating.

Happy Festivus! 🎉

(the holiday for the rest of us)

Proceed with the Airing of Grievances 🤬 in the comments section below...
...even those that already complain all year long.

And be sure to stop by Alienware headquarters to participate in the Feats of Strength! 🤼‍♂️

After a recent demotion, your Captain has already re-achievemented his rightful rank.

Who saw the Arena site maintenance yesterday and expected bug fixes?

Oooh, our avatars get a Stockings border in the December advent calendar for USA. 😲

What are you hoping for inside your stockings? 🎅🏻

A peripheral from Alienware?
A brick kit from Arena?
50 ARP for receiving a repeat border?

Life was not easy in the vast icescapes of Greenland, but the people took pride in being able to endure whatever challenges their home presented them.

Then, everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked...

It's interesting to be able to now view how many hours are added after the final Steam Community Event milestone is unlocked. 🧐

Assuming the latecomers all put in only the minimum 7 hrs for Goose Goose Duck , then about 1,500 members cut it close. ⏳

A bit risky when SCE updates (now hourly) are competing against the Steam Quest updates (also hourly), especially during the usual Sunday-Monday turnover rush for Steam Quests. And then, Tuesday Steam maintenance 🚧 may cause more delays.

I realized it's been OVER A YEAR since I last made a relay complaining about the slower earn rates with the Twitch widget after midnight UTC. 😬

My advice for people that I introduced to AWA has been: Avoid the first 1/3 of a UTC day to earn your Twitch ARP faster with Hive streamers (ARP/0.4 = minutes 🤓).

What's the consensus in the community on how long AWA's widget for Twitch remains erratic after midnight UTC? ⏲️


First 1/4, 1/3, or 1/2 of the day?

Who is the lucky Alienware employee that gets to show up in New York with a big prize and tell the crowd that those actually living in New York are excluded? 😰

"We hear the artifact will be touching down somewhere in New York City; if you’re in the area between October 27 – 31, 2025, come by to engage with this dynamic, custom experience."

Grand Finale Sweepstakes: "Legal residents of the 48 Contiguous United States (plus D.C.) with the exception of Florida and New York."

Was the change for relay text size done on purpose, or is it a new site glitch?

Size for relay and reply text looks even on mobile, but saw the shrinkage in multiple desktop browsers on multiple devices.

AWA staff, thank you for improving the tagging feature in Relays, so it's now possible to reply to a name with spaces.


However, with the good comes the bad. Have any members noticed their replies being cut off? 😖

@ is 1 character, but the hidden conversion to the mention tags results in 19 characters. When using @ to reply, we need to consider that the 240 character limit is actually reduced to 222 characters.

@AW__Tom - A few suggestions for additions to the relay sidebar.

1) Latest news article.
2) List of relays with the most replies in the last day (or maybe week).
3) During an active AWASCE, progress on reaching the next milestone.

4) Schedule for next Alienware stream (maybe include code for extra sweeps entries).
5) Daily deal for Alienware product (or some other gaming item from Dell).
6) An admin addressing a popular complaint (e.g., no Spacer's Choice ed. for Quest).
7) A poll.

An update about people ordering the new mat, but receiving the old version with the multicolored Alienware head.

I ordered the new 'Dark Alienware' design on Aug 27th, and Gaming Outfitters correctly shipped the one matching the current pic in the Marketplace. 👍

It's been two months since the announcement of partnering with Valkyrae, but I still can't find any version of AWA's widget when she is streaming on Twitch.

And she is the only Hive streamer today.

☹️


UPDATE:

The staff removed Valkyrae from the list until they're able to discuss the issue with her.

The space invaders are hunting spores on Day 2.

Are they going to run through the metaverse on Day 3?

Anyway, DRP countries will get Day 1 game tomorrow alnog with their day 3 game"

It's been a few weeks since the new style for the beanie appeared in the Marketplace, but I still see: OUT OF STOCK

Is that an error gone unnoticed by the staff, or did the shipping container with the beanies fall into the sea? 🚢

Didn't see any announcement for this new AWASCE feature, so maybe it is still in the testing phase.

"Leave a review of your experience with the game. Submitted reviews will earn 5 ARP."

I wonder if the failed updates mean that some of our community hours are lost into the interwebs. 😩
