Honor Gear Discounts Incoming

[Flashyou-mankrik]

A advantage on faster, non time gated, job rated gear is pretty minor in a months long season, itll be ok guys

[Frosstfire-pagle]

it’s permanent bro

[Xzzy-sulfuras]

Until season 2.

[Lyanth-maladath]

Also a good call. It’s nice to see reasonable improvements applied while still maintaining the spirit of classic.

Thanks!

RIP to those of us who already purchased gear……. Thanks blizzard wtf

Lol! Sometimes it pays to wait.

Cope.

Like the tortoise said. “good things come to those who wait.”

[Tybo-skyfury]

I already spend 60k on honor gear, but I’m still glad they did this. Very cool, tks.

[Lyanth-maladath]

Still got the advantage of their gear earlier than others, and they get to also benefit for future purchases?

Amazed that people will complain about that, but people really do complain about everything…

[Zelsie-grobbulus]

@Lyanth-maladath

There is nothing for them to purchase though if they have everything. Maybe a secondary spec.

Wanted to chime in and call this out as something we have been discussing and agree with. After talking with some folks involved in original Wrath itemization in 2008, it was an acknowledged issue during Tier 7/Season 5 that there was a dearth of good relics available. As a result, we are working on plans to very soon add the Savage and Hateful Gladiator’s Relics, Wands, Thrown Weapons, and Hunter Offhand one-handed weapons to the Savage and Hateful gear vendors.

These items existed in the data in 2008, but were never available to players in-game. Adding the lower power versions of these items patches a notable gap in itemization this season/tier which we think works out quite nicely. Our thinking right now is that Savage and Hateful items in these slots will require a nominal amount of Arena Points as well as Honor. The Savage items will have no rating requirements, and the Hateful items will have a rating requirement of 1200. The Deadly Gladiator’s versions of these items will see no changes and will still require a rating of 1900.

We’ll update everyone on the final costs of these items very soon once we have the hotfix prepped.

Thanks for the feedback around this!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

[Suotev-grobbulus]

So if you’re gonna do this, add the shield too at least, maybe even the frills.

[Taleea-illidan]

Just wondering why this isn’t being applied to S4 gear as well? 19k for a weapon from S4 seems a bit expensive now.

[Lyanth-maladath]

Secondary spec and alts sound like good enough reasons to me. Still got the primary benefit of having the gear earlier than others.

[Sonofablink-mankrik]

Wooooo more discounted gear… I’d just like to remind people who were around when this started or inform people who weren’t. Let’s go all the way back to march of 2008 -

“Jeff Kaplan, aka Tigole, started off the Dungeons and Raids panel by saying that the panel wasn’t for people with their Welfare Epics, but for people who actually earn them.”

“The epics referred to are the PvP rewards that can be purchased by honor and marks. The phrase has been expanded to all Arena gear and even gear you can get from Badges. But really the most casual friendly gear and easiest to get at this time is the Arena Season 1 gear.”

These are direct quotes from blizz… Keep Wrath the way it was!!! \sarcasm
And some wonder where others get the idea they are “entitled” to cheap/free gear…

Can we ban these guys? Along with those selling titles as well. Thanks buddy

[Bicepcurl-tichondrius]

The WG multi queues absolutely were an exploit.

[Kennie-malganis]

@Aggrend-1483

The Deadly Gladiator’s versions of these items will see no changes and will still require a rating of 1900.

Very cool.

[Thantore-scilla (Thantore)]

Awesome! Now if only I could get on the game after work and actually play! Still stuck at lvl 73 because I can barely play with high Q times.

[Brëëzy-illidan]

@Kaivax

With the first Arena season starting this week, we are reducing the cost of Honor gear by 30%.

Why are these never pinned at the top of the forums? Like ever?

Nice changes nonetheless

[Nastía-sargeras]

How long will this reduction of honor cost last? i’m only level 75…
