Bracket pits now show the winner as Winner, their name and their sub-class.

Daily leaders: yesterday's top wins, points and kills wear a halo of stars, and today's leaders get orbiting sparks.

Lava now meets the floor with cracked rocky shores instead of a blurry fade, on every lava arena and as it creeps in.

Fire Wall burns harder, and the Butcher's Pit is blood-soaked right into its corners.

New arena endings: Skull Altars in the Room of Bones, guttering candles in Na-Krul's Prison, and Lich orbs rolling through the Library stacks.

Whirlwind Barbarians now start at -10% physical resist, so they take extra physical damage.

Whirlwind Barbarians are less tanky, the lava arenas get bone rails over the lava instead of solid back walls, and bigger maps for big lobbies are on the way.

War Bards cast a black Flash instead of hiding in shadows, a Go! starts each round, and Whirlwind stuns and knocks back half as often with a shorter reach.

Every hit now rolls its damage: cold and poison roll tight, fire medium, lightning anywhere from 1 to double. Maces and fists steady, swords and spears swingy.
