==PvP Arena: Soft Launch==
==Opt-In To Use The New Clickable Surface Charting ==
The PvP Arena is coming next week! Before we throw open the gates, however, we want to ensure that all the systems we’ve put in place are working as they should, so we’re kicking things off with a soft launch.
We introduced a new charting method which now can be enabled when navigating to the charting after this update. If you have not already got this enabled, give it a try!
===Setting Up ===
The Click-To-Chart system will allow users to click on the surface of a tooth instead of navigating the long charting menus.


Participants will be able to earn Rank and Reward Points, but please note that these will be wiped at the end of the soft launch period, one week from now, to ensure that everyone gets a fair start when the Arena opens for real. For now, let’s take a look at exactly what you can access with today’s update.
== Appointment Icons To Show Pending Tasks & COVID Assessments ==
===Setting Up===
Appointments in the diary will now show additional information before arrival. Simply hover your mouse cursor over the appointment to reveal more.  
You’ll be able to find opponents and set up matches in the same place you did in the Duel Arena. You’ll also notice a couple of new NPCs who will help you navigate all your new options. The 1v1 Tournament Guide will, of course, tell you all you need to know about the 1v1 Tournaments. If you fancy a one-off fight, however, then you’ll want a word with the Duel Guide.
===Grouping===
To sign up for a fight, you’ll need to check out the notice boards. Here, you can find a match or host your own tournaments – and if you’re on a dedicated PvP Arena World and know the name of one of the combatants, you can watch their fight from here, too.


The Emir desires that combatants face opponents of equal strength in a fair, controlled environment. When you sign up for a fight, you’ll be matched with players of a similar skill level using an alternative save game.


This system lets you get on with whatever other activities on any world you like while your match is being prepared, so don't worry about waiting around! Once the match is ready, you’ll receive a notification that it’s time to fight! You’ll be prompted to swap to the alternative save game world, giving you enough time to get to a safe place before you hop worlds and start the battle.
As a reminder, you can disable all COVID features by heading to Settings > Practice Settings > General then disable COVID features if not required.


Because fights take place on an alternative save game world, your standard game profile is left behind along with all your levels and items.
=== Warning Symbol ===
[[File:Appointment Warning Symbol.png|frameless]] This shows patients with incomplete COVID and Pearl Portal requests or a COVID assessment with potential risks of infection.


Beside the Chat, Clan Chat, and Group Iron side-panels, you’ll spot the Grouping side-panel. We originally created this in 2014 to help players find groups for minigames, but it now includes an extra PvP Arena button. Click this, and you’ll open a new panel for… the PvP Arena! Who would have guessed?
