Hello dear BDO community and hopefully GMs/CMs,

I've tested the new pvp content Arena of Solare in the past days and I have some mandatory suggestions to point out. At least in my opinion. But in the first place, I think AoS is a really really good content, and i absolutely enjoy participating.

-AP Buff in Areha Palm Forest Map

Problem: In the Areha Palm Forest Map, the AP buff is way too strong and game deciding.

Solution: Nerf the AP value drastically. Proper value might be 30-50 AP. In case this buff is intended to have a big impact, increase its duration for another 30 seconds, instead of letting ppl 1-shot anyone around.

Problem: The aktive AP buff does not reset at the end of a round. Currently if the AP buff is available, the winning team of e.g. round 1 can reduce the HP of the buff and the HP of this buff will remain low  until the start of round 2. This way, its basically ONLY a race who gets the AP buff first in the 2nd round.

Solution: Make the AP buff disappear at the end of every round, so there is a proper reset. Adjust the distance of both teams to the middle spawn point of the AP buff.

- Ranking filter options

Problem: Right now there are just few information you can receive out of the  top 100 ranking table.

Solution: Add filter which lets you chose the ranking based on the following criteria:  class, guild, etc.

- Team constellation

Problem: Due to the random team building mechanic, it happens quiet often that you get the same class more than once in 1 team. This can result in imbalance in the upcoming matches.

Solution: Find a solution, that it does not happen or happens less often, that you get the same class twice or more often in 1 team.

- Disconnect behaviour

Problem: When ppl disconnect and reconnect to the match in time, they spawn dead which results into a lost round automatically.

Solution: Extend the disconnect timer a little bit more and make sure that matches/rounds are not automatically lost if someone disconnects and comes back. Since crashes cannot be 100% avoided, there need to be taken some adjustements to make the experience in AoS more enjoyable.

Future Updates

- Additional Queue options

Problem: There is only a 3v3 queue and ranking without custom matches

Solution: Please consider in the future to implement also a 1v1 and 2v2 queue + ranking system into the Arena of Solare to bring even more variety and exciting PVP content options. Also, please consider implementing a custom match system into AoS, so ppl can participate in community tournaments in the future.
