This is a translation of a guide done by Unter at GoHa forums. He put together this wonderful guide and I translated it from Russian for the NA/EU community.
What is Arena?
- A small scale instanced PvP system for 6 people, 3 on each side. It consists of 5 possible rounds (best to 3) and lasts for up to 50 minutes total.
- Characters that reach level 45 will only be matched against other players of max level.
Queueing for Arena.
Upon reaching level 25, players can queue into arena matching at any time. There are no time limits or entry restrictions. To queue, you must click on the icon above and choose the 3v3 arena. You will be teleported into the instance as soon as the queue matches 6 people from both factions. If players of the same faction wish to queue into arena as a group, the leader must do so.
Entry limits.
Minimum level of entry is level 25. The fight will commence as soon as the queue collects 3 players each from both factions. One round has a 10 minute time limit, meaning one game of 3v3 could potentially last up to 50 minutes. In order to secure a victory, a team must win 3 rounds. Winning a round requires the entire enemy team to be dead or have left the arena. You don't have to have 3 players alive to secure a round, as long as your team has more players alive than the other team, you win, even if it's just 1.
You cannot enter the arena if you, or one of your party members, are dead, trading, flying, or underground/underwater.
To queue for the 3v3 arena, you must choose the map on the right before registering. To cancel queue, press the same button that you pressed to register. Once the queue collects 6 players from each faction and is ready to teleport you into the 3v3 instance, the following message will pop up:
Once you click yes, you will be teleported in. If you are queueing in a group, each member must confirm their readiness before your party will be teleported in. If you, or one of your party members, fails to ready within 30 seconds of the pop-up your party will be removed from the queue.
Start of the fight.
After being teleported into the 3v3 instance each team will have 1 minute before the round starts to prepare. Near each base a flag with the emblem of their respective faction is located.
Both bases are located to the opposing sides of the arena, and the arena itself has a 2-story map, allowing players to fight on 2 levels.
- Hieron base.
- Union base.
- 2-story arena.
Standard party UI rules apply to arena, showing you the location of your party members on your mini map, and their health and status effects on their party health bars.
Results of 3v3 Arena.
To find out the result once the fight is over, press the B key, the "Rating" tab contains all the information about your personal arena achievements, scores, and rating received during arena. Once the fight is over the tab will open automatically before you will teleport out of the instance.
The winning team receives 70 Honor points, and 50 merit points per win. The losing team doesn't earn anything.
