Rated Arenas - this friday - 7PM CST.

[Kainzo]

We are bringing out RATED ARENAS. They will have titles associated with them for achievements above X rating (something like 1800+)

Using /arena join 2v2 | 3v3 | 5v5 - you will be able to go up against other like-ranked teams and see how you fair against them.
Using /skirmish join - will introduce you to 1v1's that are NOT rated.

BE READY!

I could probably keep a week off of leveling Runeblade and go back to Ninja, if rated arenas will also include 1v1 fights.

 

[faredX]

I look forward to this A beneficial reason to enter a skirmish.

 

[Fjordsen]

They won't.

 

[northeaster345]

They won't.

I'm curious, what's the reasoning for removing 1v1s from arenas?

 

[Goonswarm]

So it begins, the tears, the crying in offtopic, and the beginning of the rated arenas.

What I can tell you right now, is that classes with strong skills with an associated long cooldown will have a distinct advantage in this scenario.

Fun times ahead

I'm glad the pvpers are getting this. Enjoy it!

1v1's are available just not in rated form.

Cooldowns don't get reset.

Skirmish isn't placing people in 1v1's, it always puts us into a 2v2. Without auto-party is making this quite annoying to try and play.

What keeps me from queueing every fifteen minutes? As a Wizard I would wait for replenish to come off CD before joining.

 

[Gluzz]

All the dk's are going to win because they are dk's....

 

[leftovers5]

Kainzo, will you consider disabling Harmtouch and Layhands for arenas? It's as simple as waiting another 15 minutes to join an arena. This would allow people a distinct advantage that would remove some balance from 2v2s/3v3s/5v5s.

 

[Kainzo]

Not going to have, there's no way to do it and no option to disable.

 

[leftovers5]

Damn.

 

[chvia]

So basically arena's are just going to be filled with Warriors and Casters with the occasional Rogue or Healer here and there
