[Game Event] Capture the Flag Arena

[Crysanium]

To join the new Capture the Flag Arena choose Instance –> Arena and queue.

The Basics:

• Two opposing teams fight to steal the enemies’ flag and bring it to their base.
• Equalized arena.
• Number of team participants: 3-5.
• Daily Entries: 10.
• Time: 20 minutes or 5 points scored.

Informations:

• If a flag carrier dies, then flag drops on the ground next to the killed player.
• If a player leaves game/arena with a flag, flag returns back to its base.
• Main actions with the flag (stolen flag, returned flag, dropped flag, delivered flag) are followed by arena announcements, they are same color as a flag.
• In case the flag drops on the ground, you must interact with it either to retake it or to return it back to its base.
• Flag carrier can’t Stealth.
• Both bases have a specific place for a flag. Even if flag is stolen, place can still be clearly seen. That’s where you need to return your flag to or drop your enemies’ flag at.
• The flag carrier has an indicator above his head. Indicator has the same color as a flag he’s carrying.
• On the map you can see permanent places where you can pick up special bonuses. There are 3 types of the bonuses: defense, attack, special. Each type of bonus has 2 variations (see below). Player can have 1 of each bonus type at the same time (1 defense buff + 1 attack buff + 1 special buff), so can gather a unique combination of defense, attack, special buffs.
