## 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 cancelled.

* *Note: You can't enter the arena on a hostile/enemy claim.*

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 cancelled.’

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. A 10 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 character will be moved to the main world at the previous location before attending the Arena.

### 4. Reconnect

If the player was in the arena at the time of leaving the game, they will be invited to return to the arena upon reconnecting.

At the loading screen stage, a dialog box is displayed, ‘The arena is open. Are you ready to participate?’ If yes the player is loaded into the instance of the arena on which they were before they disconnected. If no, the player is returned to their previous location prior to transferring to the arena.

Note: During the battle, armour and weapon durability does still decrease and ammunition is used. After returning, all changes are saved. But don’t worry, equipment durability consumption rate on the Arena is significantly smaller than usual.

### 5. Death:

When a player dies, character does not lose skill points or equipment. A ‘Death’ window appears, showing the name of the killer and a cooldown for Revive. After 5 seconds Revive button becomes active. After clicking this button, the player is revived and respawned on an empty spot. ‘Resurrection Sickness’ does not affect players in arena battles, but after reviving, they are invulnerable for 1-2 seconds or until they start moving. All active effects reset.

### 6. The end of a battle:

At the end of the battle, each player takes their place in the results table according to the number of kills and deaths. Player need to get most kills and least deaths to be on top. Players who received top three prize-winning places willbeawardedwith coins and overall PvP ranking points. In case of an equal amount of points, the place in the ranking depends on who reached the particular number of points first.
The prize points are added to the pool of points received during the fight, according to the occupied place:

* 1st place - 100 overall PvP ranking points
* 2nd place - 50 overall PvP ranking points
* 3d place - 20 overall PvP ranking points

The points are added to the player's personal rating. It is also possible to receive a negative value.

The battle ranking is shown for 30 seconds and after that, all players that participated in battle are moved to their previous location on the main world before attending the arena.

### 7. Connection with the cardinal system

The amount of points awarded in the arena is included in the rating of the deity Jomfrutotte (cardinals).
