Currency Conversions Coming with Patch 4.4.0 on April 30

How about answering the other questions being asked…are you going to revert the arena point conversion since you all botched the timing on that? How about clarifying the extra Frost and Triumph conversion to gold after 346 emblems. Is it PER EMBLEM or PER JUSTICE POINT over cap?

it’s 47 silver per justice point over the cap. That comes out to 5g44s26c per emblem of triumph/frost over the cap. whih is still less than the 5.5g per lower emblem, granted, but not by much.

I honestly forgot about the Wrath PTR until a little bit ago, decided to load that up, and it looks like it’s in better shape than the beta, I am confused though, because it’s still giving gold for the honor with the original conversion rate of 35 silver each point over 4000, and Justice Points seem to be 47 silver each, not the emblems.

Would love some confirmation about these, as well as the Arena Point issue that seems to be going around.

Thats what they say but its not what it happening on beta or ptr. On both its going at 47 silver per point. Blizz always likes to say 1 thing and do another like how they said arena points wouldnt convert till prepatch but they did like a week ago.

Could possibly change. I wouldn’t risk it imo, you never know with this company.

You right, I wouldn’t risk it. Just stating what it is currently doing differs from what they said.

Why can’t I buy wrathful gear right now before the Honor point revamp then? The post states it’s possible to buy wrathful with honor before pre patch. There’s only 3 days left until then, is there going to be a ninja fix before tuesday morning or what.

How much honor will the wrathful arena gear cost during pre-patch?

I guess arena players get to kick rocks, arena points wiped, no comment from blizzard.

Blizzard, please restore players arena points. It seems to me that arena points are the sweatiest if not most difficult game currencies to get. You can’t buy them directly like you can gold. You need to find partners to play. It’s more than logging and looking for dungeon que.
For what it’s worth I’m just an average and avid PvP player. From my perspective the way you treat PvP outcomes contributes to the destruction of the already tiny player base. I expected to spend points to buy a second weapon and had hopes to buy the 277ilvl I failed to get during the season. With any notice, I would have bought down to use the points rather than get nothing, or measly honor or gold conversions.

While I’m at it, rating locks on the main set is absurdly punitive for a lot of players. Take them off. Besides combating complicated game play and meta comps, unnecessary gear walls only serve to lessen the PvP participation.

Their communication around prepatch and Cata in general has been…thin…at best. I’m not even directly impacted by this particular change, but it feels like it falls in a bucket of communication issues and just general minimalism.

And yes, I’m sure as the other poster said it does stem in part from a too-small team juggling too many issues, but what energy/time the team does have seems to be largely invested in SOD.

Imagine not using your points before the date that hasn’t occurred yet. Oh surprise reset with no notice.

Almost as if they put things in motion and didn’t tell the community the right information as they copy and pasted old patch notes…

Word for word, and 4.4.0 has not been released yet.

can we get some answers in regard to our arena points?

Request denied.

Blizzard employees are likely laughing at the community for their screw up.

Spirit Shards were not converted to Honour. I suppose this is in line with what happened on original cata.

Well, they ended up doing 35 silver per excess honor point, rather than the copper they’d announced, so that was nice at least, dunno what clown thought the copper was a good idea to begin with, but I’m glad to see they went with how it was. It’s not like it was broken, unless you’d been farming it since day one of Wrath, even then, if you spent that much time on it, you deserve it.

I also figured with the conversion, we’d stop getting Stone Keeper Shards, cause I’ve run some dungeons, and I’ve gotten more of those, so I’m not sure why even convert them if you’re still able to get them. Unless that’s a bug, in which case… convert them again. :smiley:
