1st Arena rotation for Ashes of Outland is coming on April 7.


Drafting Pool


"Free" Arena Ticket

Players who have an active Arena run when rotation happens will have their current run retired and will receive an Arena Ticket as compensation (plus any reward for current number of wins for that run).

  • Play out your run to x-2 (x wins and max. 2 losses) if you want more rewards from your run, or just leave it at 0-0 if you dont want to bother playing.

Friendly Neighborhood Gladiator: if you do plan on leaving your run at 0-0, you might as well start two games and concede to two players, getting some positive karma :) You will get the identical rewards for 0-0 and 0-2 score.


FAQ

Q: When should I start my run to receive a free Arena Ticket for a retired run?

A: Ideally several hours before the rotation, arena entries are generally closed few hours prior.

Q: Do Arena Tickets stack?

A: Yes. (proof)

Q: Do Arena Tickets expire?

A: No.

Q: Where are my rewards for the retired run? I opened my arena rewards but didn't get any pack or gold/dust.

A: This is a known bug, arena rewards are actually awarded to you once you finish your last arena game, before you open up the reward boxes. When an arena reset happens, it gets even more confusing because this happens on log in; sometimes you have to restart the game.

People often see (1) pack in their inventory, don't think much about it, open it and then go collect arena rewards only to find out they didn't get anything. But the fact is, that (1) pack on log in was actually the one from the retired arena run. Same with gold/dust, it was already added to your account even before you opened the arena rewards. You didn't lose anything.

Edit: This issue shoudl be fixed now, but i will leave it here regardless.

    Has there been any word on second rotation yet?  Feel like we're WAY past the mid point of the expansion now.

    Quick!  Someone give me something clever to write here.

    Nope, not a peep. If they were going to do it they would probably do it with Felfire patch or when Adventure launched. I dont think there will be a new rotation until the next set. Kinda sad they at least didnt say as much, or anything really.
