Heroes!

Arena Spectating has hit the field. Now you can watch your favorite (or least favorite) Heroes duke it out in the Arena, getting straight into the action and seeing it all. Here’s how it works:

Want to spectate an Arena match? Head over to a new NPC next to the Arena Master. Clicking on him will prompt you to select one of the three Arena styles: 1v1, 2v2, or 3v3. Choosing one will bring up a list of all the matches currently going on of that type--in order from highest-rated to lowest-rated. That means the highest ranking PvPers will be on top!

The Fighters on Top have the Highest Rating!

Find the match you’d like to spectate and click it! 

Once you do, you’ll be turned invisible and teleported into that Arena. You won’t be able to speak, interact, or do much while you’re inside, but you will be able to move around and check out all the action first hand!

Additionally, if you feel so inclined, you can download an addon that will get you this handy new UI while you spectate. Using it allows you to see exactly what’s going on between the two combatants; spells, buffs, abilities, and cooldowns--you’ll see exactly what’s going on in the fray! This is a great way to see which abilities the pros are using, and how they’re using them--watch closely, and you might find out just what it takes to be competitive! 

The addon will be available for download through the Ascension Launcher within the next few days. If you want it early, however, you can manually install it. Here’s the download link: 

(Head’s up, it’ll literally open the download when you click it)

After downloading and extracting please rename the folder to ArenaSpectator and place it in your AddOn folder

Arena Spectating is live right now, so jump on in and spectate some matches.

Happy voyering, heroes!
