Custom Arenas are the new version of H2H. Instead of doing it offline and away from HTC's quality control (and for free), it is an online option for subscribers.

You want to play with nighttime darkness enabled?? Create your own arena...

You want your own dueling environment that no will disrupt? Create your own arena...

You want to make a 'tankers only' arena, so you don't have to worry about bombers? Create your own arena...

etc etc

So now that custom arenas are included are we going to get a custom arena AH BBS forum?  I could see how this could make it easier for people interested in getting good numbers into their custom arena to advertise the custom settings for the arena and start/end times.

The real problem is anyone should feel like they can come to this forum and make a wish without being treated in a derogatory manner.  The only discussion should be centered around whether it would work, or how it would work and so on always in a respectful manner.

Added custom player configured arenas.  This is a replacement to the old 8 player H2H feature.  The difference is that it is now hosted on our servers, is no longer free beyond the 2 week trial, and has the player limit increased to 16.  Custom arenas can also be password protected.  To access the custom arenas, click on the custom tab at the top of the arena selection menu.  Players can only have 1 arena created at a time and arenas will shut down 5 minutes after the last person leaves.

Are you able to see what the custom arena settings are before you enter?

I don't think so. The player could name it to give a clue, or [best practice] have a MOTD arena message pop up when you enter, which will list the major settings. There's been a suggestion for a custom arena BBS forum for advertising your custom arena; where you could list the day and time the arena will be available along with the settings.

Anybody actually got onto these arenas yet? I tried just now but when I click it, it's almost as if it is a dead link. Nothing happens. Anyone else having problems?

Thanks Ranger, just wanted to check if it was on my end or HT's end. Question answered.  :aok

Though I haven't tested it, I would imagine only the Host who created the virtual arena has access to the arena settings

Another wish on the wish list is that all arenas allow players to inspect that arenas settings via a disabled menu (greyed out - can read / cannot edit)

No reason at all to not allow a player to browse through the Arena Setup and inspect what the settings are...even in the MA's

Would be great for special events to make sure that the Arena Setup is indeed set correctly per a write up as other sets of eyes can inspect the set up and inform the events host of any discrepancies such as object hardness, downtime etc
