Hello dear Arena team,

one of my personal wishes for 2026... ;-)

The time limits in the matches are much too short, especially for beginners. On the other hand, most experienced players prefer a fast game.

This could easily be solved by choosing a personal difficulty level: the settings should allow players to choose whether they want to be classified as a “beginner,” “hobby player,” “pro,” or “master.” Depending on the choice, the time slots available should be set accordingly:

Beginner: time window x 4
Hobby: time window x 2
Pro: time window x 1
Master: time window x 1/2

...compared to the current time windows.

And standard for new accounts should be "beginner"-mode. So they have time to learn and can adjust their level once they feel up to it.

This way, beginners would be more likely to compete against each other instead of constantly facing the monster decks of pro players. And the pros could enjoy faster and more challenging games.

Best regards and all the best for the new year :-)
