Square pillars?

[Zappy]

I dunno where I missed this from patch notes or I missed this on here already, but this looks to be a great change for us:

Can you copy paste the relevant information from the link...silly me looking at this at work I can't get to AJ.com

The pillars in the Nagrand and Blade's Edge arenas are now square in shape, which should make it clearer whether a pillar humper is in LOS or not.

Can someone explain to me the significance of this? Is it huge or just a small buff?

[Bettysue]

With the round pillars someone standing 90% in view of your character would e out of LoS no with the square pillar i f you cna't see them they are out and if you can seee them they are in.

I wouldn't call it a buff just more of a visual clarification of LoS.

[Multibocks]

Oh ok thanks for the clarification.

The biggest difference is that instead of running around in circles where you only have time for instant cast, it's now possible to get a a spell off that has a cast time.

Some people, druids in particular, just make me run in squares now.

That'll never change, however I found two of my matches last week where they would have normally gotten away, after a quick frostshock, I was able to finish them with chain lightning. With the circles, I would never have time to get the cl off.

I don't think this will impact the outcome that much of matches, but it will definitely speed up the endings where that one last peep tries to stay out of LOS.
