This next season will be a true 1v1 arena, meaning you will queue as an individual and also fight as an individual vs. a single opponent. It will be similar to the previous solo queue arena, except for the following changes, many of which will also apply to future solo queue arenas:
- There will essentially be a cap of 40 matches per day. This cap is spread over a 10 day period, however, meaning players will start the season with 400 potential matches, and gain an additional 40 each day, a stored value that will never be allowed to go above 400.
- At the beginning of rush week, all players will have their potential matches reset to 400 so that there is no need or benefit for saving up your matches prior to rush.
- Fights will be anonymous, however, the results will not be.
- The % chance of a double drop based on your recent amount of played matches has been increased to offset the lower daily cap on playable matches.
- Your first PvE fight after entering the queue will not be interrupted, allowing you to more effectively farm while also wishing to do arenas.
- When in the queue, you will receive the typical Group Acumen skill bonus as if you were grouped and fighting solo. There is no more 10% bonus since the above change would allow that to be exploitable.
