fairly common complaint with regards to live arena scheduling. shall pass this along, thanks lyryal. 

I vote 2 up, 2 down.  Simply because I like to do all my fights in one sitting and sometimes an hour isn't enough.

For me the only time its open is 5pm-7pm my time, if i dont get em done during that timeframe theres no other time to do em, i dont get why it should need such huge downtimes, 6 hours at one point lol, might aswell delete the content 😂

Live arena is fine for me, except every game is a guaranteed loss because wukong and armanz are unbeatable. It's a total waste of time

Then it is time to work on both your speed & resistance for a small number of arena toons.  That way, you can have a fighting chance.     

The problem is that the live arena times are currently set up for convenience for the European crowd, I think - so us American and Canadian users are kinda screwed. Personally I can pretty much never participate because the available times are really, really badly aligned with my schedule.

Same Here.  There is only one window that sort of works, and only a few days per week at that.   

Ive just been getting some fights in on weekends. It doesnt bother me so much as I get frustrated playing LA anywas.

I'd love a 2 up/2 down because West Coast NA is rough if you're on a normalish schedule: 

7 AM to 9 AM; 1 PM to 3 PM; 5 PM to 7 PM; 11 PM to 1 AM

Not any great time frames outside of 5 to 7 PM, sadly.

Not sure about this as I am East Coast Canada  and do not see any timing issues ?

I just do not enjoy  it :(

I rejoiced when I got Ramantu, because I would never have to care about tag team again. 

I rejoiced when I got Quintus, worked my ass off getting him, because I would never have to care about live arena again.

...Almost immediately after they added the Horsey missions :/

So, I'd have to verify, but I'm pretty sure in EST, the arena times are at 10AM, 4PM, 10PM, and 4AM. Of those four, only the 10PM one is an option, and even that one isn't convenient at all. The 10AM and 4PM ones are during working hours, and the 4AM one is obviously a non-starter.

5 pm   is  OK for after work IMO

A lot of people get off work at 5, don't get home until 6, then need to make dinner for thier kids.

Several people in my cluster just don't do live arena during the week because there's just no window where they arent at work, on thier way to or from work, or asleep.

I say have live arean open 24/7 and if there's no live person to match, make it a bot :D

I agree with that

2 up , 1 down ? :o

Fyi... g3 is flooding 😆  so many bad teams... and lots of forfeits 

I'm here for it.  I threw 16 fights today after I git 4 refills from Marius missions.

Deal.

feels like this would encourage participation .. 2 hrs to grind .. 1 hour downtime .. fits everyones schedule ...
