Arenas/Dredgion FAQ :D

Arenas and Dredgion - Oh my!​

Hello lovely folk of Gamez,

With today's update we are introducing some fun new game features including the Arenas and Dredgion.

The Arenas can be accessed via the Marchutan Priory (Asmodians) and the Kaisinel Academy (Elyos). You may enter the dredgion from anywhere in the game when it is available via the dungeon icon (cave looking thing) on your screen. This icon will only appear during availability times.

~Arena of Discipline (1 v 1)~​

​

The Arena of Discipline is accessed via Taina or Valhal and allows for players to enter scripted 1 v 1 battles.

This arena will feature three battles across a possible four maps, the sequence of these maps is randomized and you wont get in the same map twice in one sitting. Upon starting the first round there is a two minute grace period where you can buff up and get ready before the battle commences.

​

Please bear in-mind that there is a point system so being overzealous with your deaths could result in you losing the match! You may die more than once on each map.

Known Issues:

• Fall death does not work correctly on the Abyss Bridge map.
• Lava damage does not occur in the Collapsed Wind Tower map.
• The main version of this arena (accessed through the actual gate rather than training NPC using arena tickets) is unavailable while rewards are being implemented.

~Arena of Chaos (10man FFA)~​

​

Accessed via Cades or Inja the Arena of Chaos is a 10man FFA arena featuring six maps. Each series of battles will go across three of these maps (one per round) in a randomized order. You will not visit the same map twice in one session.

Unlike the 1v1 arena contestants will remain unnamed during the FFA match until the end (although this is a bit buggy right now) As with the Arena of Discipline there is an initial two minute grace period at the start of the first round for buffing up.

​

During the last round whoever is in the lead will be marked with a "1" symbol. Killing this player results in bonus points.


Known Issues:

• Wind Tower Cannon not implemented.
• Forest map poison water not implemented.
• Players are able to talk during the match. Some will be named rather than "Contestant #"
• The main version of this arena (accessed through the actual gate rather than training NPC using arena tickets) is unavailable while rewards are being implemented.

~Dredgion (6v6 PvPvE)~​

The Dredgion is a group vs group instance that also happens to have a significant helping of Balaur to spice things up.

Accessed via the dungeon icon on your screen (when available) players can choose one of three entry options.

Group Entry (Enrol with a pre-made group, must be used by party leader)
Private Entry (Join the queue solo and wait for a new dredgion to start)
Quick Entry (Join the queue solo, will enter an existing match if there's room)

​

Upon entering the instance each group will find themselves at their escape hatch. Once the match commences players can proceed through the instance in whatever way they choose. Some will try rush to the captain while others will go for a more paced approach. Then of course there's those who will go out of their way to kill the opposing faction ^^

​

Points can be obtained by killing Surkanas, Balaur and enemy players. Killing the Captain will cause the match to end with the killing faction being awarded bonus points - this does not guarantee victory though! When a Surkana is destroyed the room in which it was contained changes color on the Battleground map (Green for Elyos, Blue for Asmodian). These color changes make it easier to track enemy movement and the progression of the battle.

Known Issues:

• Group entry may result in only some party members being ported in upon hitting Enter. If you don't get in try Quick Entry.

We hope you all enjoy these additions along with the rest of the update (full patch notes available here)

Have fun!
-Carl & Alente.
