Hi everyone. So it is pretty common knowledge that Blizzard messed up and ended Season 1 DF one hour later than they said they would on the blue post. It turns out that people who ended up passing others for Rank 1 titles (Crimson Gladiator/Crimson Legend) after the ladder was supposed to be closed were actually rewarded with the titles and in fact bumped other people out who were supposed to be safe. Another thing that I think never ended up happening was that Blizzard stated that alts from the same account/class or something along those lines would only take one R1 spot as opposed to hogging multiple slots as this used to do in the past. It seems as though they did not do this either? Certain specs in shuffle had three or four players with 2 to 3 of their characters getting Rank 1 which would mean that those outside of the cutoff should have received those titles, but this did not end up happening. Does anyone know if Blizzard has addressed this issue in previous seasons or if they plan to do anything about it this time?
That ain’t right. Def need to look into this.
I feel like at the very least there should be a blue post clarifying what happened with the season lasting 50-60 minutes longer than it was meant to.
The time the season was meant to end was outlined and people shouldn’t be punished for not continuing to queue beyond that point.
in SL seas 1, this also happened, season extended by 1.5 hrs, they just made it so everyone both who played longer than the season was supposed to get it, and the people woh had it before the bugged seaoned continued got it. Alot of r1 titles, but everyone was happy lol
I suspect both everyone got the title
If 10 spots and two a duplicate all 11 people get the title. Just shifts the cutoff
I don’t think so. So I received crimson Legend on one of my characters. My second character was exactly on the cutoff for the last day. On the last day nobody passed me within the given time frame that the season was supposed to end on. 5 minutes before they ended the season at the incorrect time (10:55 or something), I was passed by two players who should not have been eligible. Not only that but there were 4 duplicate spots ahead of me. So even if those two players had passed me alt at the correct time, I still should have been eligible for crimson legend on that character.
The pvp leaderboard doesn’t update til after people log out / relog with a random delay anyway, so going by that does not show real time ratings.
It was updated the morning of the last day of the season on the tracking websites. Nobody passed my character all day until after after the season was over 
Y’all done my boy WRONG
that’s not how that works
the cutoffs had alts already accounted for
an example
if your spec had (example) 20 spots displayed and (example) 4 were duplicates
there was actually only 16 spots unique spots
not 24 total spots
you would not be ‘safe’ at spot 21 of 20 under the assumption that 4 spots would be calculated AFTER the fact
Wow okay. I wasn’t aware about that for the duplicates. But asides from that my character was safe regardless of duplicates and got passed when the season was supposed to end
Dude that’s terrible. Put in a ticket?
Cutoffs and spots should be snapshot at actual season end not when ladder goes down an hour later
I did and they said to write on the forums because maybe more people will see it LOL
lmaoooo. better chance @'ing them on twitter.
the customer support forum tho, you’ll actually get a blue response. it’ll prob be canned but better than here, there’s a close to 0% chance you get a response in the arena forums
Hey, just wanted to add my information as well, in case of any bugs affecting it, and to give more data.
I worked really hard for the title for Mistweaver and ended the season at 3472. I did not play another game that night, and my actual rank fluctuated from 15 to 17, with the season closing with me at rank 17 as it grayed out.
I knew there was no to-the-minute tracking Blizzard had but from Drustvar, my rank of 17 lined up accurately.

I knew the cutoff moved because of external factors but I was doing some investigating on where the true cutoff was, and I’m still not sure.
I don’t want to throw any names out there but for context’s sake, both Slunkss-Tichondrius, and Rebirthstory-Illidan have the achievement with their rating 3475, and 3458 respectively. I ended at 3472.
I figured maybe Rebirthstory gained some points and it didn’t track correctly, but their highest rating was 3458, under my 3472. I tried to find any alts for their character as well, but couldn’t find any.
I don’t want to say this to take anything away from anybody, but again, it’s just for context.
I think I was actually tracked incorrectly because I logged out as windwalker from the night before for PvE. I think the windwalker cutoff was higher than mistweaver and the system assumed I was windwalker and not mistweaver for the mistweaver title cutoff.
So I guess for next season, make sure you log out in your correct spec every day.
I could also be wrong about this assumption but from my own, internal play, I’m really not sure what else it could be.
If this was anything else, I wouldn’t make a big deal out of it. But, because I worked so hard for this, and was even raiding an hour before the season ending, I am completely heartbroken if I messed up because of a tracking bug.
I try really hard to be positive, but yeah, this kinda sucks lol
“worked really hard for it on my mw”
-Plays MW when it’s absolutely broken and op.
Nice
that’s meramin and he didn’t get the title on MW (he got Crimson Gladiator on mw tho)
but instead on his disc that was 3409 (Liminality) which is wearing the title
Nah he played Caster MW with long cocoon every single game. It was def a rocky road to 3400. I experienced it firsthand in a couple of lobbies.
<3
felt like fistweaving failed to heal friends when they needed help most and it made me sad :<
fistweaving now seems less clunky though 
Thanks for the information. Wasn’t sure if the title was account-bound before so now this gives a better perspective.
Guess I could’ve been 3 points off the title now and been the cutoff. That’s at least better than being unfairly rewarded due to a bug.
Wish there was a definitive statement of the end ratings after the season ended just for good closure.
