Any chance we'll get a choice of which color the pet starts at in a future update?

When, not if. It’s high on our list.

What is the epic games store bullshit about? Sorry, but arena moves to EGS exclusively I'm done.

Not exclusive; nothing changes unless you want it to. Just another way to download the game. You'll still be able to download directly from us, just like always.

ELEMENTAL DOGGO

Will we get to choose between cat and doggo, i'm on team cat

Yes, in the next update you'll be able to choose which pet you want to use (as well as which tier of that pet, in case you prefer the look of the lower tiers).

Wait, Brawl is only once per week? What?

We don't have a great idea what the sustained demand for Brawl will be like, so this is where we're starting. If demand starts/goes low, having it up all the time would mean that players are distributed across the week and it takes forever to get a match. This could further reduce demand, creating a negative feedback loop. So we're starting with one day per week to focus play, keep queues healthy, and better let demand grow. And we'll see where that demand takes things. If demand is high (not just on the first go around, but sustained), we'll look to adjust how/when we're offering it.
