Just wondering... eh em...
Why there isn't a live PvP option in the game?
Either for fun, or actual ranked and bracketed competition?
#why is there no live pvp option?

I really just want to understand the rational for why it hasn't been done yet.
It's hardly an original idea.

Mainly due to the initial design of the game revolving around async pvp. This has many advantages not the least of which minimizing potential queue times for matchmaking, longer overall battle times (since you will be waiting on opponents moves), and active cheating interfaces.
That said, we have been open to the idea of having a separate live mode but those types of game modes have massive development resource sinks tied to them

Not impossible obviously, but would just be a pretty extensive build to do right
and no worries 👍

I had a trial run idea that might eliminate the initial teething issues, @last arrow :
What if it was only the leaders of the top 100 guilds that were eligible initially? 🤔

Honestly that would still require the same amount of dev work if not more to limit the players that can access it. If we were to do it then it would make sense that we do create an event/mode that was available to a much wider audience if not the entire community.
