WoW Patch 9.2.5: New Enigma Arena without moving columns

When the WoW developers at Blizzard announced a new arena for WoW Patch 9.2.5, PvP fans were delighted. In particular, the possibility of moving the columns within the so-called Enigma Arena by pressing a switch in the center of the arena caused a sensation. But the team has now removed exactly this feature.

Problems with gameplay mechanics spell the end of the mechanics

In an official blue post, the developers justified their decision against the moving columns as follows:
“As we originally mentioned, we wanted to release the Enigma Arena with a unique mechanic, a central switch that allowed players to manipulate the positioning of the pillars during a match. When implementing [dieser Mechanik] However, we did find some issues with pathing and line of sight that could occasionally affect players and some of their class abilities.

However, in order to provide the best possible gameplay experience and avoid potential frustrations, we have decided to proceed with the version currently available on the patch 9.2.5 PTR, which features a single column configuration that during a match uses the whole remains the same over time. We are currently planning the original release [mit den beweglichen Säulen] not to be pursued.”
