Arena testing new function?

[dkar]

Yesterday I played in Aspenwood Eng1 and noticed something interesting. We started with full team and one person left before the game started. Almost instantly after that another player was added into our team.

I never seen this functionality in GW so far. Can someone confirm if you had the same expirience? Official comment from arena would also be appreciated if they were testing this new functionality during event.

The gray bar for a leaver is the same as a non-loader. Are you sure? Proof?

I don't have the pics as I was not expecting this to happen. Only thing I noticed is we started full, one left and we got replacement.

i hope you're right. i really do...

As much as I hope you're right, I also have to be slightly skeptical, at least until more information comes to light.

Agreed...

I think A-net would do this testing:
* in house
* get it 100% right
* release it proudly

Are you quite sure that it wasn't the same person, and they just took a long time to load?

[Nobleman Azure]

or perhaps the person that left was actually from the opposing team.

As much as I'd love to agree with you, it's unlikely for the reasons stated above :(

I played there a lot this weekend and it never happened to me.
