Arenas

Arenas are instanced PvP scenarios and are not part of open world PvP.[2][3]
The arena system as we've spoken about before is going to have ladder systems where people can progress within certain seasons based on their win/loss ratios. The importance of arenas are obviously that players have an opportunity to participate [and] practice out certain builds from a PvP perspective and can compete with one another within the system.[2] – Steven Sharif
- Arenas will have 1 man, 3 man, 5 man and possibly 20 man Free-For-All (Deathmatch) group sizes.[4]
- Arenas will have a minimum level requirement to participate.[6]
- There won't be bifurcated brackets with separate player pools.[6]
- There might be some form of an ELO system that gets flushed on a seasonal basis.[6]
- There will be an arena ladder system.[2][4]
- Mayors of military nodes are chosen from citizens through last man standing (gladiatorial arena style) combat.[9][8]
- The arena system may support cross-server combat.[10]
- Arena style combat is instanced but spectators may be possible through an interface.[11]
Group sizes
Ashes of Creation is designed for solo players as well as large and small groups.[13][14][15]
- The idea behind an 8-person group is to allow us to really amplify party roles, and to create a need for each of the archetypes in every party.[16]
- Raids will have 40 man groups.[17]
- Content will be tailored for 40, 16 and 8 person group sizes.[18]
- Arenas will have 1 man, 3 man, 5 man and possibly 20 man Free-For-All (Deathmatch) group sizes.[4]
- Castle sieges are expected to have at minimum 250x250 players to be on a single battlefield, with the possibility of increasing this to 500x500 over time.[19][20][21][22]
- The minimum goal is 500 players on a single battlefield. I think we will be able to hit 500vs500 but we shall see.[22] – Steven Sharif
Server vs server
The arena system may support cross-server combat.[23]
