New Arena rules?

[blundermoth]

Sorry to be dumb but have these been posted anywhere? I'm in a game and unexpected things are happening in the draft, I generate enough surprises through bad play without having bonus ones provided!

Uh ? You can look them up in the lobby.

Click on the gear if you are using the old lobby but the new lobby is cleaner for this.
in other words, here :

(Make sure you have selected "Arena" on the left, of course.

Arena rules are unchanged from last season. The game is just bugged right now, but that's true whether you play Arena or normal games.

The most recent update I see is from two months ago.

"Hi all,

We have been developping the second expansions along with some big code refactor (fixing bugs and adding QoL improvements) and it's now ready to be tested by the community.
Since Heat is a popular game here and some refactor were quite heavy, we want to try to avoid deploying any breaking change into production which is why it's currently available on the side project that was used for Championship developement a while ago : /gamepanel?game=heatchampionship
If you want to help testing this new content and need an access to that one, let us know!

Best,
Tisaac & Thoun"

It's not a huge issue! But also I know where I would usually expect to find updates on new arena rules, hence the post

!!!!

So we have a snake draft, but with only one round? Pick two cards, discard one?

That's... not ideal. Good luck to devs in getting that sorted I guess

16 bug reports have been created for that issue...
People just don't bother to look up the other bug reports it seems.
And of those is marked as solved so I guess that everything is solved for the next release. (Might tale a day ?)

"People", huh?

Sorry if you were inconvenienced by me asking a question, but this thread isn't about bugs, this is about the lack of info on the new season. Even if nothing has changed, there should really be an update stating that nothing has changed. Apart from anything else, it might help people realise that the weird draft is, in fact, a bug, reducing the load on the main forum.

I was referring to the 16 bug reports where one was enough, not to this forum thread.

The bug has been fixed this morning, we haven't close bug reports yet

Is anyone else having difficulty starting arena matches? I've had invites hanging for hours and no takers. Surely can't be this few people looking for games, anything up with the matchmaking system for arena matches recently?
