What are arena points and how are they calculated?
Arena points are calculated from your team’s win/loss ratio. The more points your team has, the more rewards you will receive, e.g. hellfire rockets, iron ration, inhuman shriek, continental breaker, etc. To qualify for points, your team has to play at least 10 times in the arena. Even if you fail to win a single battle, you will still receive 10 arena points.

How often are arena points updated?
Once a week, early Monday morning at 12:05 a.m.

What are arena ranking points and how are they calculated?
Arena ranking points are used to calculate your team’s overall strength. Each team starts with 1500 arena ranking points. Your team then adds points for victories and loses points when defeated. The amount of points you win or lose depends directly on the number of arena ranking points the opposing team has. If you defeat a team with more arena ranking points than yours, then you will receive more arena ranking points than you would for defeating a weaker team. The arena ranking points your team receives are deducted from the opposing team’s point total. At the end of the season, members of the winning team have the option of acquiring extra special ships.

What happens when I leave a team?
The team retains the arena ranking points, even if you leave a 1 vs. 1 team. The team will not be deleted, will stay in the rankings and the arena points remain intact.

Can I start a new arena match, if I am already in one?
By entering a match, while in another, you leave the current match for the new one. If you are the last team member in the match when you leave, then your team loses the match.

How long do I have to purchase the unlocked items?
When a new season starts, all the points are reset and all items relocked. So, as long as the new season has not yet started, you can still purchase unlocked items.

What is observer mode?
If you are sunk during a match, you have the chance to switch to observer mode. This allows you to follow the progress of a team member. While in observer mode, you will not be allowed to interact with the game.

Do arena points count towards the PvP ranking?
For every player sunk, you will receive PvP points. For each match won, you will receive ranking points.

My team won a match, but the ranking points have not changed.
This occurs if the discrepancy between teams’ ranking points is too great.

Until the start of the new season (11:59:59 pm).

Yes.

What happens if a player leaves a 2 vs. 2 match after the match has begun?
That player will be deemed as sunk, but the match will continue. This could lead to a 2 vs. 2 match becoming a 1 vs. 2 or 1 vs. 1 match.
