Busy arenas? Your battle now waits in line
When every arena is taken, your battle no longer fails: it joins a queue and starts on its own as soon as an arena frees up.
No more “arena full”
Until now, if every arena was taken, starting or accepting a battle simply failed and you had to try again later. Now the battle takes a place in line and kicks off by itself as soon as an arena frees up. Stay on the battle page and the match starts right there.
See the wait before you play
- free arenas: N of M shows in the lobby next to Live arena whenever arenas are busy, on the battle page and when you create or accept a battle. Before you hit Start battle, you know whether it starts straight away or joins the queue.
- On the battle page you see your place in line (1 of 2 in line) and a rough wait (about 32 min).
The 30-minute limit
If no arena opens within 30 minutes, the battle is called off and your cards come back, ready for the next one. The battle page shows the exact time.
Cup matches go first
Tournament matches always stand at the front of the line, so a cup never stalls because of regular battles.
Can I leave the queue?
Not always. If you have already seen the other team, the battle keeps its place: it either starts when an arena opens or is called off when the time runs out. That keeps it fair for both sides.
Try it
Start a battle in Battle arena (sign in first) or keep an eye on the counter in the lobby.
