Online Community
The #looking_for_game discord channel is where players gather to find dueling partners before sitting in the Battle queue in headset. Discord is active as of March 2020. Morning US time sometimes has EU players available to battle, as it's their afternoon/evening. Evening US time mainly has US players as others are asleep. Or, join us for a Saturday event, when players are reliably available!
(Returning players who have to set their software back up... here's a save file . Put it in "C:\Users\<username>\.insomniac\InsomniacEngine\" folder after deleting the game data save file that's already there; you can keep the user prefs save file. Then restart your game.)
Active Event: Beginner Duels (Weekly on Wednesday Evening US Time) - Active as of April 2020
Join us every Wednesday evening for Beginner Duels!
We encourage top players to play private matches during this time, so that they're not in the duel queue, and beginners can find each other without getting stomped. However, teachers will be available on request for anyone who wants to ask questions or do focused skills practice. This event focuses on US players, as we're experiencing borderline-unplayable game lag to Europe recently.
When: Every Wednesday! 7pm-10pm Eastern / 6pm-9pm Central / 4pm-7pm Pacific.
Where: Map Table > Battle > Duel. First, come chat with us on the Discord channel #looking_for_game, so we know you're around and you all can find each other. If Discord is down, just jump directly into duel queue and play.
Active Event: Narrow Win (Weekly on Saturday) - Active as of March 2020
Join us every Saturday for Narrow Win, our player-versus-player duels event! The best games are those with others of your skill level - playing through those last few hit points together, never sure whether you'll win or they will. Let's make more of those!
When: Every Saturday! 2pm US Eastern; 1pm US Central; 12pm US Mountain; 11am US Pacific. US times will remain as shown as we move into daylight savings time.
During US Standard time, EU times are as follows: 7pm/19:00 (UTC), 8pm/20:00 (UTC+1); 9pm/21:00 (UTC+2). During US Daylight time, EU times are 6pm UTC, 7pm UTC+1, 8pm UTC+2. Ask on #looking_for_game if you're not sure of exact start time.
This event typically lasts 2 hours, although on busy days it might go as long as 4 hours. Once a month, our event will match Longest Night (below), for even more players in queue, and a longer duration!
Where: Unspoken map table > Battle > Duel. And when Discord is up, #looking_for_game will have the event conversations and announcements.

Beginners
This is a great way to learn the game from other players. The match system will prefer to match you with other beginner and intermediate players, and voice chat is included during games. It's a very welcoming player community. There are intermediate and advanced players who welcome new people and share great tips. Check out #tactics_and_theory and #looking_for_game on Discord as well.
