Going First

Whenever I do player vs player, I am the first person on my team in the attacking circle thingy. It doesn't matter whether it is 2vs2, 3vs3, or 4vs4. I don't have a problem with going first, I've just always wondered why. I tried seeing if it was because where I signed up for the team on the kiosk with those availability circles, but I when first no matter what. Then I tried seeing if your placement was decided by when the pvsp popped up and you click go to arena, and a check mark appears by your name and symbol of school. I thought maybe who ever click on go to arena first would be first in the fighting circle in battle, but even if I chose last on my team, I would go first anyway. So does anyone know why I go first every time in Player vs Player battles??

I honestly don't know. In my experience, it's completely random. Maybe the game really likes your wizard, lol.

That is a good question. Maybe it's the level order, I seem to notice that too lately. If I'm wrong, it just be by chance and it's a weird coincidence. Anyways, happy PvP!

I tend to always be first as well, but that is because I typically play practice pvp and I always sit first. If I create the table and then stand up when someone else sits and change seats I move from going first to going something else, so the order in which you sit determines the order of your placement.

I think it has something to do with your internet speed. I play at work and our internet is much faster than just a single household and I always go first. The few times I havent were when my computer lagged for a min or something slowed it down like another program running.

I think you go first in arena because your computer reaches the arena first!
