Arena Changes and Hotfixes

Welcome on my World of Warcraft blog. It looks like with the Arena tournaments swinging into action, I’ve some Arena based hot-fixes + new features scheduled for 3.1.

- Well, they think we have finally found the root of the DC issues as well. Sadly, these are code fixes so they cannot go out as a hot-fix. They are however, in 3.1.0. ffxi

- Hotfixed that stops Warlocks from exploiting Demonic Circle in the starting tube of the Dalaran Sewers Arena.

- Modified the waterspout effect in the Dalaran Sewers Arena to give players more warning before the water column is fully activated. This should give you a chance to get out of the way or at least let you cancel a cast since you will now know that the water is coming soon. The effect starts up about 5 seconds before the waterspout is fully active. There is also a new zone wide sound attached to the effect now also.

- The Ring of Valor match starts with the small side pillars in the up position. They used to rise up a few seconds after the match began.

- Added a sound to the Ring of Valor to let players know that the flame wall will be opening up in the next 5 seconds. Also you should have less problem to find gate opening.

- Fixed the issue of the flame wall not breaking fears, roots etc. The flame wall damage will now correctly respect the spell breaking rules like all other types of damage do.

- Removed the gates entirely from the Ring of Valor. Players are now free to start the match as soon as they can get off the elevator.
