As you may know, we've been trying out a new PvP mode in the Test instance, where CHALLENGE adjusts the two fighters' skills and stat contests for a more balanced fight. It is now live in Prime, for use in the player-run Wyvern Trials.

Thanks to those who played with it, we've made some tweaks since the test release. However, a reminder: This isn't meant to create perfectly equal matchups, though both sides should have a chance to win. Depending on your own skill/stat distribution, it is quite possible that you may fare better or worse against different opponents. In the live version, the new mode is still completely optional -- it will be active only within the Wyvern Arena's competition area, and only when a tournament director has enabled it with their badge.

Eventually, we'd like to expand this mode to support tournaments. It is potentially very draining on technical resources, which is why we're doing such a limited introduction before we determine whether an expansion would be viable.

We hope you have fun with it!
