1.1 ARENA ROUND PHASES

1. Waiting for round:

As soon as you are in the first 20 places of the queue you will receive a notification: ‘The arena is open! Are you ready to participate?’

‘Yes’ - you transfer to the Arena and wait for other players in the preparation phase.
‘No’ -  your request will be canceled.

Note: the notification is active for just 30 seconds, so you need to be online to accept it. If you are offline at the moment of receiving the notification, or you don’t accept it in time, your request will be canceled. In case you don’t confirm the invitation, you’ll receive this alert ‘You did not confirm participation in the arena. Your request has been canceled.’

The battle commences when at least 10 players confirm participation in the arena battle.

• If there are less than 10 players, then you’ll see a message: ‘Not enough requests were confirmed. 'Priority of your request has increased.’ and you won’t be transported to the Arena.
• Otherwise, players that confirm their invitation are transported to the Arena and await other players in the two-minute preparation phase. During this time, you can move around, use emotive abilities and even form your strategy!

2. Active phase:

At the start of the fight phase, each player spawns in random places around the arena. A10 second countdown (displayed on the HUD) starts, during which character control is unavailable. At the end of the countdown, the battle begins. A timer then runs for the duration of the fight. When it concludes, the final battle results are announced. Players are also able to view current statistics by pressing ‘Tab’ during the battle.

3. Early exit

Players can leave the arena ahead of time through the ‘Disconnect’ button in the ESC-menu. Your сharacter will be moved to the main world at the previous location  before attending the Arena.
