Orgrimmar Arena in an early alpha build.
Orgrimmar Arena Designs in an early blueprint.
The Orgrimmar Arena is an arena located in the Valley of Honor of Orgrimmar, in Durotar, replacing the currently unused Ring of Valor. It is larger scale and will be the first and only arena designed to allow mounts.
Line of sight will be handled differently compared to Dalaran Arena. There will be two pillars in the arena, moving up and down on timers to block line of sight. There will also be two sets of spikes on triggers for when the pillars move, which will deal damage and also block line of sight. A player can stand on the pillars and move up and down with them to escape melee combat. Players will be forced into decisions of taking damage from spikes for waiting in order to get to opponents.
Players will be hidden during the waiting period, but start 10 yards next to each other as lifts bring them up through the floor. Spikes will surround the lifts for a few seconds before coming down, so you can see your opponents and react just before the fight starts.
