We are currently beta testing the battle arena. Today we had 5 people in the arena battling for dominance a high level and four lower level players. The four lower level players could not take down the high level player. We plan for the arena to last a few days before the sole survivor is declared. This beta testing will give us a rough idea on how we are going to tune the numbers so we can reach that goal. After that we will do a public beta test to see what you, the players, think of the feature when hundreds of players are battling for dominance. Our design direction on the feature has changed a bit since testing, we are going to reward a lot of health on a kill, so killing opponents is one of the most important part of the arena if you want to survive. Looking forward to seeing you in the arena soon!
I don't see the point of 1 high and 4 low levels. What happens when high meets high, or are you expecting the same outcome as is when on the fl? If anything a true reflection would be a cross section of players. Maybe 4 low, 4 medium and 4 high. It's just a though, not a moan.
