[#SomeChanges Suggestion] Ready stones instanced PVP

[JamminL]

Description

Because we're a generation of incredibly impatient human beings, having to wait 1 minute during arena/bg preparation might seem like an eternity and for folks interested in PvP this 1 minute compounds and a lot of time is wasted.

From the game experience perspective, it will reduce average game duration which increases player pool availability, win win.

The suggestion here is to add in every prep room a game object that you can interact with (private servers have used a crystal that you can click on since 2010), and if every single player in that instance clicks on it, the countdown instantly goes down to 15 seconds.

Optional QOL!

Certainly QOL but I'd love to see it.

Most definitely the single most valuable QoL feature for arena players out there.

Could also make all spells that require a cast time to be instant during the arena prep - helps wlocks with summoning pets so the earlier start could be utilized even when there is a class that requires longer prep.

We joked around about disallowing racial abilities entirely and having goblin referees that run onto the field to throw a red card if you use one, ...

Let the dream come true and summon these goblin referees next to the arena gate during Arena Preparation, if all players talk/click/interact with them, they force the remaining time down to 15 seconds!

Very good suggestion, I've done 50k+ arena games and that over 30 days in the starting room.

Kris Zierhut: The plan is that there will be a Ritual Object at the front of the dungeon, if all five players channel it, like you would a summoning portal, then all of the monsters in the dungeon will get a buff... Additionally, once that Ritual Object has been activated, they will have increased drops that will be coming out of Naxxramas 10, Malygos 10, or Sartharion 10.

So Blizzard is completely fine with slapping a random, completely custom, gameobject into every dungeon... Why cant the same be done for arenas?

[Evolvee]

Bump. Literally just copy paste the gameobject orb from Titan Rune Heroic Dungeons, slap it into arenas and make it skip the countdown from current to 15 seconds with condition (if timer already =! <15 seconds)
