New Arenas Coming in Shadowlands Patch 9.2 - Maldraxxus Coliseum and Enigma Arena

Posted 2021/11/16 at 12:04 PM by Squishei

Eternity's End brings two brand-new Arenas, calling upon seasoned gladiators and newcomers alike to conquer their foes in valorous combat. Seek glory in the Maldraxxus Coliseum and the Enigma Arena.
Maldraxxus Coliseum
Only the strong survive the Maldraxxus Coliseum.
Maldraxxus Coliseum in the Theather of Pain. For eons, the Necrolords of Maldraxxus honed their craft at the Maldraxxus Coliseum in the Theater of Pain. Now the Arena is open to any would-be challengers—and there's no shortage of champions willing to test their mettle. Prove yourself worthy. Only the strong will survive.
Enigma Arena
Harness the power of the First Ones and change the field of battle.
Enigma Arena in Zereth Mortis. The mysterious Enigma Arena from Zereth Mortis was created by the Progenitors and serves as an ever-changing battlefield. A switch located at the center of the Arena can be used to create cover for yourself and your allies—or deny it from your opponents. Clever strategists will control and dictate the flow of battle; those who cannot adapt will surely be defeated.
Meet Your Foes in BattleLook forward to these two new Arenas coming soon to the PTR and later on when Eternity's End launches. We'll see you in the Shadowlands, champion!

Still a long way to go before it's worth the effort.Comment by xstaindxHey look they added LoS walls to an existing area of maldraxxus and called it an arena!Comment by MiokoThat second one looks like it has no LoS spots?

They really do need to include more PvP centric content updates. Major patches PvP notes shouldn't just be -New season + tuning. They add the infrequent New Arena or BG which is cool but that definitely doesn't happen often enough and I feel like they aren't even thinking of content they could add for PvP players outside of those options recently.

Going a whole expansion where all PvP seems to walk away with is +1 Arena, +1 BG, or very very rarely a new Brawl is just not the most fun. I feel like more can happen with PvP than just BGs, Arenas, and Brawls that mimic the former with altered rules. I think they had a fun concept with PvP Islands and Warfronts (that totally should have had a PvP game mode) as well as Nazjazar (in an totally unbalanced and non competitive way) in BFA as potential new activities but they just seemed to give up on improving or expanding on them after release and now, in SL, all that work is in the bin and goes unused.Comment by MikhailovHey look they added LoS walls to an existing area of maldraxxus and called it an arena!Comment by ValrathAdd new Battlegrounds and more WORLD pvp content instead. F arenas.Comment by BayurA new bg with a new "win 100 times" achievement? No thanks.:)
