It is probably not an easy thing to do to let you scroll through your games and at the same time preventing you to play. The change is intended to let you play first where it is your turn for the longest. So it makes sense that you can't scroll through your other games.

Not a bug if you ask me.

I can't read the bug because of a custom CSS, so my answer is solely to this posting.

How should this not be an easy thing to do? The system already has to add the blocking with the link to the game where you have to play first as well as the link to go to the next table.

Therefore all it needs to do is use this information to progress to the next table(or alternatively to the game we have to play first) instead of showing the table were we can't play at the moment.

I love Arena Mode and usually only play Arena and co-op games. All the changes look sensible and well thought out to me :)
At the end of the season, all turn based games will be stopped, and the player who consumed the most time will lost the game (all the opponents will be winners).
That's so hard-core, I love it, thanks!

I am not trying to scroll through the games. I just want to play my turn in whatever order BGA wants me to. However, it appears that the algorithm that decides the order I should play my turn based games overall is different from the one that decides the order I should play them for the arena, and I'm just looking for these two to be the same thing.

The problem will occur (assuming you've been keeping up with the requirements) when you have a 2 moves per day versus a 1 move per day game.

Knowing this doesn't actually help though

I have encountered the same issue. Where I get a notification on the phone or even the banner at the top of the screen and I am sent first to a game I cannot play. Luckily there is a link to the game that is blocking the current game. However, if an algorithm can be figured out to do the redirect for the player automatically that would be great.

Anyone know how Arena settings is configured for the season? In season 3 of Dungeon Roll, it was random hero and now it’s Selected hero.

I get some messages from players to change back to random hero but I don’t know how.

Am I able to earn new trophies each season for getting to each level? If so, will I retain my trophies from last season as well, or will they disappear?
