Arena Smart Matching

EOS gives players the chance to battle in the Arena!

Arena is specifically made for Player versus Player. It is only available after reaching level 70.

There are 3 different Arenas in which a player can participate:

  • 1:1 Arena (Personal Match)
  • 3:3 Arena (Free Match)
  • 3:3 Arena (Team Match)

Similarly to the Battlefield, you can only access the Arena if you use Smart Matching (by clicking H).

Once a match has been found, it is impossible to refuse entry to the Arena.

Objective

PvP Currencies-0

The goal of the Arena is to kill all the players of the opposite team.

Once this has been done, the match will end.

The match will also automatically end if there is no winner after 10 minutes, resulting to a draw.

Just like in the Battlefield, you can receive special currencies for winning or losing a match, which you can use to buy PvP Gear.

These currencies are: Fighter's Badge and Gladiator's Badge.

1:1 Arena

This is a personal match between 2 players. The first to kill the other will win.

You can use Smart Matching at any time to enter the Arena.

You do not get any special currency from winning this mode. It is mainly for fun, but you can see your score and winning rates if you open the Arena Record window (ALT+W).

PvP Record

3:3 Team Arena

PvP Record - 3v3 Team Arena

This is a match between 2 teams. Each team has 3 players. The team that kills all 3 players of the other team wins.

You need to create an Arena Team in advance in order to be able to use Smart Matching for this mode. The created team will then be matched with other pre-made teams.

The Team Arena currency is Gladiator's Badges and is distributed to players weekly.

  • You can only get Gladiator's Badges if your team participated in at least 30 matches that week.
  • You can only get Gladiator's Badges if your character participated in at least 50% of the team's matches (i.e. 15 matches).
  • The amount of Gladiator's Badges that you get depends on the individual and team scores.

You can check your records and amount of Gladiator's Badges earned by opening the Arena Record window (ALT+W). You can see your Team Score for that week and for the whole PvP Season.

  • You need to choose a Team name, and the creation fee is 30 gold.
  • A team can have a maximum number of 5 players.
  • You can add new members to the team by clicking the "Add Member" button on the Arena Record window (ALT+W).
  • You can disband an Arena Team by speaking to the Arena Manager NPC.

ELO System

The ELO is a value assigned to teams and to individual players and is used to compare their performance.

Teams and players that newly join a team will have an assigned average ELO value of 1200.

The value will increase when they win and decrease when they lose - the amount by which it increases or decreases is based on the other teams' ELO.

If a team with a lower ELO beats a team with a higher ELO, their team ELO will increase more than by beating a team with the same or lower ELO. Similarly, if a team loses to a team with a higher ELO, its own team ELO will decrease less than by loosing against a team with a similar or lower ELO.

The team ELO is also used to match the teams against each other - the system will try to match teams with similar ELO values. This can sometimes result in problems for very good teams. If their team ELO is too high, the system will take a very long time to match them, since teams with lower ELO will be matched with other low ELO teams first, before the system starts matching them with the higher teams.

The member ELO has an influence on the number of arena points that every team member can earn in the week. It is calculated similarly to the team ELO, but will only count the matches that the member has actually participated in. If a player leaves a team their ELO will reset. If they rejoin the same team, or a different one, they will start with an average ELO again (see above).

The arena rankings on our homepage are based on the team ELO values - this means that even inactive teams can show up high in those rankings, when other teams just can't catch up with their high ELO.

Quests

There is at this moment no daily quest for Team Arena. Once you have completed the daily for the Free Arena, you receive a non-repeatable quest (for more information on the quest line click here).
