FAQ: Arena mode

[aesche]

What's happening with Opponents' level preferences in Arena?

For some reason, for the last couple of days I get these settings for all games:

I'm okay playing with
My level
I prefer not to play with
Near my level (+/- 1)
I'm reluctant to play with
Around my level (+/- 2)
I never want to play with
Far from my level

Even if I click reset to default, it appears to get with the same settings (in spite of the fact it shows I'm ok to play with anyone) and when I re-enter the game it goes back to the aforementioned settings.

And this is really annoying for the game of 99 (trick-taking), where there's very few people playing, only 5 of us are in Elite, the next level is Silver, still if I entered Arena, at my table would show Gold and above.

What happens in case two or more players have the exact same amount of points at the end of the arena season? Do they share the same spot, or is there some kind of a tie-breaker?

Hi.

Is it true that from now, RTs are not taken into consideration, in Arena, anymore?

Thank you.

Why wouldn't they... You usually can't start TB games at end of seasons.

Yes. No turn based in the last 5 Days.

Bonjour,

Y a t-il des pénalités en points ARENE pour les joueurs ne jouent plus ( aucune parties en cours en mode arène ) ?

Je m'explique, lorsque quelqu'un atteint un haut score en pts arène (1er au classement par exemple ), je m'aperçois qu'il ne joue plus et que de ce fait ils restent en haut du classement. ( c'est frustrant )

Il devrait y avoir un système de perte de pts afin de les obliger à avoir au moins une partie en cours.

Si pas de parties en cours, perte de 10pts/semaine (par exemple).

Voilà merci pour vos réponses.

Dans certains cas, il se peut qu'une personne perde des points car il a essayé mais pas joué car aucun match n'a commencé, parce que pas assez de joueurs... Si cela arrive, tu ne peux pas te blamer...

Why there is so many game for 4-5 players and in Arena you play it as 2-player?
Example: Caylus, Keyflower, Tzolkin, La Granja, Spyrium, Russian Railroads.
Honestly - I do not play them in Arena just because of that.
I prefer playing games with more players when we can.
And when I'm not playing it as 2-player I can't be a Guru of this game and I can't vote for it.
So players who like playing it 2-players will still vote to keep it as it is.
That's not fair.
