Epic Battleground Honor Quests Nerfed and No Longer Count Towards Essence Achievements

[Timboslizzle-frostmourne]

Come on… what’s going on?

(can find on wowhead)

What’s going on ? A vocal majority want account bound essences and Blizzard are going out of their way to make some of the worst essence grinds even more tiresome?

This is honestly pathetic.

Punish the players who haven’t completed the Rank 3 (or hasn’t started at all) but NOT punish the people who abused of it since the start of 8.2

Great Job Blizzard

Awesome, now I can start working on this on some alts and feel like I earned something when I get it. Blizzard knows how to hit us right in the feelgoodman.

[Timboslizzle-frostmourne]

Yes it’s going to feel very rewarding getting this the second time.

They are now reducing the Honor needed for the Essences, to adjust for the Honor Quests no longer counting.

Honor Requirement Changes for Specific Essences

We’re currently working on a hotfix to update the Honor requirement necessary to unlock the Artifice of Time, Blood of the Enemy, and Sphere of Suppression Rank 2 and 3 Essences. We are in the process of applying the hotfix to make the following changes: Artifice of Time, Blood of the Enemy, and Sphere of Suppression Rank 2 now requires 10,000 Honor (was 15,000 Honor) and Rank 3 now requires 30,000 Honor (was 50,000 Honor). Developers’ note: We fixed a bug that incorrectly allowed Honor r…

Are MVPs the new CMs?

And CMs are the new salespeople talking about all the cool new features we can buy ?

[Chelleybee-stormrage]

Why pay people to help when others do it free? Cms are marketing teams now.

Are you somehow upset that I responded here with that link?

I saw your thread earlier today and thought that you, or anyone else who ran across this thread, would like to know about the change.

[Itsblack-thrall]

It’s just general and their usual whining

The information is appreciated

No, I’m upset that CMs don’t seem to do anything these days but announce new things being added to the store.

I appreciate your post. Thank you.

While at the same time nerfing the over all requirements by 40%. Yeah, they are making it WAY harder on you.

Imagine posting a day after the original post (where this change wasn’t there) and trying to be snarky about it.

Home run you got there Sacrodruid.
