Hi all,
as a well experienced Catan player (over 20 years of experience and a lot of tournament experience) it is a total desaster to see Arena change to 3p... I somehow managed to be first at the end of Season 9, but i really have to say that i will not continue to grind Catan if the settings are set to 3 player.
I don't know where this decision comes from changing the player number from 4 to 3 (are there already Gurus in Catan??) but as a tournament player 3p-Catan is just boring. The map is way to big for 3p and there are no struggle situations or hard decisions you have to make. 3p is sweet for beginners or player who dont like to play "long" games ("long" means arround 1 hour) but in a competative environment we really need 4p-Catan in the Arena. There is a reason why all official tournaments are played as 4-player-games.
On top of that it really annoys me that the standings continue but the arenasettings change... How do you want to find an Arenachamp of certain settings when you change the settings in the middle of the whole periode??
Is this player count a final decision or is there any possibility to set it back to 4p if there are enough people who think the same as i do? Im really curious to hear other opinions too.
Best regards
