New Ring of Valor arena Exploit

[Smeag]

So, a while back, when the arena just started, I posted an exploit about the Ring of Valor arena.
It was about getting to the top of it just when the lifts start to go up.
*I deleted the thread because it was useless to most classes except for hunter (For 2x frost traps right in the start of the game)

Please, do consider this is a 3 months old video and that I'm getting to the next point.

In the video, you can see how to get on top of the arena floor before the game actually starts :
1. Wait till about 3-4 seconds before the game timer says when the match starts.
2. Alt+tab out of the game
3. Count to 5
4. Alt+tab back into the game


Before, this was useless. But now, when Blizzard hotfixed the gates (removed them) this is actually very neat for both ranged and melee classes.
*Does not work in windowed mode. (Thanks sifurion)


The Ring of Valor

• 1. We removed the gates. Players are now free to begin combat as soon as the elevators reach the floor of the arena. This one was a doozy but we think we finally have a good handle on it now.

edit : seems like filefront won't stream it.. so who wants to see the actual video can just download it (~6mb)

That's a well know but
we wont ever see this on live imo

[Smeag]

I'm uploading the video, from the live servers.

now without gates hunters require even more skills

[sifurion]

doesn't work for me.

Edit : Ok, it's working ONLY if you don't play in windowed mode.
Just done it on my hunter, it's a priceless exploit

thanks for sharing it.

The OT? What's that?

[Smeag]

They probably will [Only registered and activated users can see links. ], but this was also doable when s5 just started, so I presume they won't fix it too soon.
Although, the gates were there, so it was useless for most classes.

[kwestyuns]

thats pretty neat

[robotbear]

lawl pretty useful, but they'll fix it

I always noticed that when I alt-tabbed for 30 seconds while waiting for the arena to start I was floating... never though of this though! Good job.

looks like they're working on it, since RoV has been removed from live servers for the time being.

I'll check that up in few hours when people on my server start playing.
It's ether they are attempting to fix this, or you're just very unlucky concerning the arena queue.
