Starting from less than a month ago, you have had the possibility to enjoy on BGA a new playing mode: the Arena.
This new competitive mode has been a real success: a lot of you are competing to win the trophies for this first Arena Season, and it has increased the number of games played on BGA by +20%. We'd like to thank you a lot for making this feature such a success!
If you want to read more about what is the Arena, how it works, and why we developed it, please read the following FAQ:
For now, Arena remains a BETA
Despite this success, the Arena is still not perfect. We still consider it a BETA, and you may have seen that we are changing/testing things from time to time.
We know that these changes may be painful, but we to do it in order to find the best way to make this competitive mode work.
During the last 24 hours, we have experimented an alternative lobby for the Arena, described here, in order to decrease the waiting time, to increase the chances to meet opponents from the same leagues, and to try to make the less popular games more popular. Unfortunately, it didn't met our expectations, so we decided to put an end to this experiment.
The good news is that we're done now with the major updates. The Arena is going to remain in its current shape, with minor changes, for the rest of Season 0.
We know that there is still room for improvements. In particular, we'd like to improve the waiting phase, and the "confirmation before playing" phase. However, a lot of you are enjoying the Arena like it is now so there is no reason not to let you play! 🙂
Season Zero is now official
Considering all of this, we decided to make Season Zero an official season for BGA rankings.
It means that at the end of the Season, Arena champions will be the first official Arena champions on Board Game Arena, and will be the first to put their names on the winners list for each game.
The end of the Season is planned around April 9th 2020 (this date may still be adjusted).
In conclusion
Our ambition stays the same: make the Arena an enjoyable permanent competition, and allow you to win the most prestigious BGA achievements with it.
This is not an easy task, and it may take a lot of back and forth to reach this objective, but we intend to work on it until we reach that point.
We wish good luck to you all for this Season!
Dvorana - sezona nič [BETA]
Od pred manj kot mesecem dni ste na BGA lahko uživali v novem načinu igranja: Arena.
Ta nov način tekmovanja je bil resnično uspešen: veliko vas se tekmuje za osvojitev pokalov za to prvo dvoransko sezono Arena in je povečalo število odigranih iger na BGA za + 20%.
Najlepše se vam zahvaljujemo za uspeh te funkcije!

<span style="font-size:150%; višina črte: 116% "> Arena za zdaj ostaja BETA
Kljub temu uspehu Arena še vedno ni popolna.
Še vedno to smatramo za BETA in morda ste videli, da občasno stvari spreminjamo / testiramo.
Vemo, da so te spremembe lahko boleče, vendar to moramo storiti, da bi našli najboljši način, da bi ta tekmovalni način deloval.
V zadnjih 24 urah smo preizkusili alternativni lobi za Areno, ki je opisan tukaj, da bi skrajšali čakalni čas, povečali možnosti srečanja z nasprotniki iz istih lig in poskušali manj priljubljene igre narediti bolj priljubljene .
Na žalost ni izpolnilo naših pričakovanj, zato smo se odločili, da bomo s tem poskusom končali.
Dobra novica je, da smo zdaj končali z glavnimi posodobitvami.
Arena bo ostala v trenutni obliki z manjšimi spremembami do konca sezone 0.
Vemo, da je še kaj prostora za izboljšave.
Zlasti želimo izboljšati fazo čakanja in fazo "potrditev pred igranjem".
Vendar pa mnogi uživate v Areni, kot je zdaj, tako da ni razloga, da vas ne pustite igrati!
<span style="font-size:150%; višina črte: 116% "> Sezona nič je zdaj uradna
Glede na vse to smo se odločili, da sezono Zero naredimo za uradno sezono za lestvice BGA.
Pomeni, da bodo na koncu sezone prvaki Arene prvi uradni prvaki Arene na Board Game Arena in bodo prvi, ki bodo svoja imena uvrstili na seznam zmagovalcev za vsako tekmo.
Konec sezone je predviden okoli 9. aprila 2020 (ta datum se lahko še prilagodi).
<span style="font-size:150%; višina vrstice: 116% "> V zaključku
Naša ambicija ostaja enaka: narediti Arena prijetno trajno konkurenco in vam omogočiti, da z njo osvojite najprestižnejše BGA dosežke.
To ni lahka naloga in za dosego tega cilja lahko traja veliko nazaj, vendar bomo na tem področju delali, dokler ne dosežemo te točke.
Vsem želimo veliko sreče v tej sezoni!
