[ARENA Season 0] Format changes summary

3 player for Terra Mystica would be better than 2 and is a decent game rather than waiting for 4.

Perhaps this question has been answered already, I've looked through some of the forum posts and haven't found any info yet, so I thought I'd ask here. I honestly don't care if I'm playing Arena Mode or not, I just want to play games. Perhaps I'm misunderstanding how the settings work, but I feel like no matter which setting I choose, I'm limiting my pool of potential opponents to play with. If I'm looking for just a regular game, I won't be matched with someone who's looking for a gaming partner in regular mode, and vice versa. Am I understanding this correctly?

So my question is, would it be possible to add a "Both Modes" option for those of us who are equally willing to play Arena or regular games?

When searching for a real-time arena game a 'Also accept Simple games' buttons appears at the bottom of your favorite games list.
You can search for turn-based arena games in conjunction with simple games, though a bug appears to prevent that at the moment.

If you are in Simple mode, you will see if a particular groups Arena only

Thanks, I didn't see that.

For SOLO ARENA mode:

3 players with 100 points will be the better system (less random, more strategy)
And we will have to wait less time!

Le meilleur format pour solo serait un mode 3 joueurs en 100 points, qui laisse moins de place au hazard et plus à la stratégie, de plus les temps d'attente seraient moins long!

Ty! Merci

I think Colt Express and The Boss should also be made 2-player games for arena mode.
Right now, it is impossible to start a real time game with 4 players for these two games, and (in my opinion) both are still very good games with only 2 players. I think it would even be more competitive since the 2-player version of these games is less random, especially for Colt Express.

Is it possible to find somewhere current format of arena for each game? It would be nice to know rules of the game before I agree to join it

I really look forward to the arena upgrade described a few days ago.
