Hi there everyone.
The duration between Arena Tournament rounds has now been dropped from 10 minutes to 5. We hope you like the update.

Dear Grim,
I am sad. Many arena players are sad too.
For more than a decade the Arena has been our reason for logging in to Fallen Sword. But the lake is dry and the fish are dying.
Changing the waiting time from 10 minutes to 5 minutes between rounds in a tournament, is like giving a grizzly bear 2 sardines in stead of 1, while a grizzly bear eats salmon. If the problem is in the database, please don't compromise the player experience by taking the easiest programming route.
Please listen to Pointyhair, because he speaks both your language on database stuff and our language of the FS addicts.
Please listen to Shindrak, because he has made the Arena his PhD. Shindrak is the Magnus Carlsen of the FS Arena. The chess community listens to Magnus Carlsen. The FS community listens to Shindrak.
At the minimum, what the community really wants to hear is that HCS is working on bringing back the smoother experience of the Arena with its varied level spawns and its quick and easy tournament results. Even if this means as "a long term goal".
Sardines are for stray cats who haven't tasted salmon.
We are grizzly bears. Rrrrawwr.
