[Semi-Tested, 3.1] "Invisible" in arenas

[Login Error]

-Intro-
As far as I've seen, you can exploit a few new arena mechanics to trick the game into thinking you're not in an arena match, while you really are. The person using the exploit isn't listed on the side of the screen for the enemy and the top text will read "Green/Gold Team : 1 Player" or whatever it is. I discovered this accidentally, tried to reproduce it once and was successful.


-The Exploit-
1. Make sure you're not the group leader and do an arena match. When it's over, have the leader leave first and queue you for another match while you're on the loading screen. The loading screen has to last until the leader gets into the next arena match. I suggest queueing on a shitty computer in Dalaran.

2. When it loads, your partner will be in the arena, and you'll have the prompt to enter. Time it so that the arena starts while you're still on the loading screen. When you enter, you won't be listen on the top of the screen and other places listen above.

Will people actually be able to see you/attack you? Or just tricking the text.

Although still, if you are a rogue...

Yea, they can still see your character...although you made a good point w/ stealth. Don't forget druids can pop into cat form for stealth, then switch to tree to heal.

The only thing that sucks about this is that as soon as one of your team dies, you lose.

Say this scenario: You take out one guy on the other team, then you double team the last guy, you get him to 1%, and he finishes off either you or one of your teammates, you lose.

(This happened to me about a year ago, lol)

^ Drano has a good point but 90% of the time if you lose 1 of your guys you give up/lose anyway so its iffy but i think i'll actually try this
