Default new arena rules

my only real question remaining is. while sitting in queue. if you're just sitting in town. queue time = active time so it'll tick? it'll likely only affect low rank bonus seekers in 3v3 arranged. but still something good to know.

Only the first 15 mins of just sitting in Q doing nothing but chatting or AFK would count.

You said that you will be removed from your group. This would be annoying to people that talk in their group a lot idle. Arena teams often remain in group at all times even when not Qing just to chat. Being removed from group would mean that they'd have to send pms to each of the other two and impede group chat.

I just did a quick tally of hours I do on Nodiatis per week. I came up with a modest 55 hrs. on my pc. I started using the mobile app and can do actions here and there and more frequently boss farming while on a pilgrimage, I will most likely max my 84 hour weekly limit while doing my two pilgrimages. It won?t matter if I buy time cards. I won?t be able to use them. I use my phone to log more play time and now you put a limit on what I can possibly do. This would be fine during the summer months when I do more outside stuff, but stuck inside I?d rather play Nodiatis and not veg infront of the tv

It would only count for the initiator of the trade.

Could you make it so trading doesn't count for either as few people, me included, leave items on trade windows overnight etc. when the schedules don't match?

You can leave it open and it'll only count the first 15 mins.

How about changing the hot zones from a two day cycle to 3days up. That will cut our walking about the map down to a few days a week. To maximize our life expectancy bar how about refunding our active pot to match our rrt return time for being pulled in a match.

Can we be able to check our remaining time such as typing /limit?

Fair and easy.

Seems like min "charge" is 15 mins. Therefore if you need to min/max your time plan to do few things when you sit down not just walk to other town to check for potions.

Other than that 12 h screen time usually equals 15-16 h a day since shower/food/shopping breaks which leaves healthy 8h break for sleep.

Thank you for caring for players well-being.

Thumbs up for new rule.

PS. I didn't check yet but since Q is slower and matches reduced would arena bonus get scaled to match those changes and make it worthy to "waste" time daily to Q for bonus ?

No plans for a command to check your time. We want you to realize you're not going to hit it and then stop worrying about it.

Matches are only reduced for premade seasons, not this season.

I'm afraid I must object to this new rule.
I have 16 alts, all of which I created and only I play.
I leave Psycho logged all the time for trading or whatever.
Trading each alt before and after farming them is 32 'actions' of 15 mins each.
Farming Psycho takes well over an hour IRL time, since he's a warlock and holding down a key for that long makes my finger hurt.
This means that if I do anything else, such as crafting or walking, I run the risk of becoming 'exhausted' and dying while farming at the end of a week.

I say, do not count trading as activity, just farming, crafting, walking, etc, which are actions that take only a second or two.

holding down a key for that long is considered one action. and glitch see's that the same as using a weight to press a key down. gj

Of course I do not hold down a key continuously for that long, silliness.

I have to stop and click the chest 2 or 3 times a minute and start a new fight.

Make alts trade your main as Glitch said it only affect toon that initiate it . Problem solved .

Besides really ... unless you bot or share there is no way you can used up all the time . End of story.

that's not what i mean. holding 1 down for the entire duration of the fight, is considered the same as using a weight to hold a key down. it's the same principle, but since he cannot prove it, there's nothing he can do. but you've just said, on forums, how you do it.

I believe Glitchless has said that holding a key with your finger is perfectly acceptable, as it requires human interaction. Using a weight is botting.
