No Don Rodrigo's Band?

[Ohshiftson-stalagg]

Not a very “faithful” recreation with all these itemization changes already.

I agree. I wish Blizzard weren’t incompetent.

[Wirt-stalagg]

So you’re playing both sides.

If you have 1.11 pvp gear, not having 1.9 pvp gear is just arbitrarily picking and choosing.

[Ohshiftson-stalagg]

If you have 1.11 pvp gear

Nope. I have the 1.12 version of 1.4 gear.

[Wirt-stalagg]

No, you don’t, you have 1.11 pvp gear.

Different names, different item ids, different stats. You can claim all you want that’s because of 58s wearing the old pvp gear, but that’s not a good reason. It is different items.

[Ohshiftson-stalagg]

No, you don’t, you have 1.11 pvp gear.

Different names, different item ids, different stats.

And they replaced the old items, effectively making them updates to the same ones.

The only reason they added new item IDs is because they updated the level of the items and didn’t want level 58s wearing level 60 gear.

[Wirt-stalagg]

I just said that’s not a good enough excuse. they could have easily went with the 1.4 items, but the CHOSE to go with the 1.11 items, it’s not itemization, it was a flat out choice.

They are arbitrarily choosing what pvp items are in and what are out.

Don Rodrigo’s Band is going to be added in phase 5 since this object was originally put in the game during patch 1.9 (Ahn’Quiraj patch)

Don Julio’s band was added now because it was originally put in the game during patch 1.5 (Battlegrounds Patch)

Also, this was already announce by the devs in April when they talked about how they were going to manage out itemization

@Kaivax

Developers have scoured through vendor lists and treasure tables for items that were added in patches, and then attached them to the staged content unlock plan. This means that if a new item was originally added to a dungeon boss’s loot table with Ahn’Qiraj, you shouldn’t expect it to appear in WoW Classic until Phase 5, which is the phase that contains Ahn’Qiraj content.

Except they added R14 Spellblade multiple phases too early.

[Wirt-stalagg]

And are using the 1.11 PvP gear instead of the 1.4 pvp gear.

Picking and choosing for no reason.

I’m not in the discussion about Spellblade or stats. But people wanted a “Blue” response, hence my response to those people (and the OP)

@Wirt-stalagg

This is also explain in Kaivax post

@Kaivax

Along the way, we’ve seen many questions asking if we’re also retracing the steps of incremental changes to individual items and their stats that may have occurred throughout original WoW. Such a plan could be called “progressive itemization.”

Here’s an example of progressive itemization. The Tier 2 warrior Helm of Wrath originally had Spirit and Agility on it, as well as critical strike chance. In Patch 1.5.0, the helm’s stat budget was changed to Stamina, Strength, and Defense, along with elemental resistances. Then in Patch 1.7.0, the amount of Defense on the helm was reduced. In Patch 1.8.0, the 5-piece set bonus that included the helm was fixed to work with Whirlwind, and in 1.9.0, it got a better look with an art update.

WoW Classic will only include that last version of the item, as it existed in our reference version: 1.12.

This is also explain in Kaivax post

the 1.4 gear verses 1.11 gear isn’t itemization, they are completely different items.

[Buscapaz-earthfury]

the 1.4 gear verses 1.11 gear isn’t itemization, they are completely different items.

We are talking about PvP gear, right? I don’t know much about Vanilla (since i didn’t play back then), but i remember reading that the PvP gear was updated in patch 1.11, and in the post Kaivax explain that they were going to use the last version of the items.

So, all the PvP gear that was in the game during patch 1.5 is already updated. But, since Don Rodrigo’s band was added in 1.9, you guys won’t see it until Ahn’Quiraj is release.

I’m not discussing if it is good or bad btw. Just wanted to inform you guys about why the item isn’t here yet.

You could probably leave your feedback on that thread if you want this change, or open a new post with Kaivax quote in it.

[Hareem-stalagg]

its pretty much an arbitrary decision as others have pointed out since there are already 1.11 items in the game.

i imagine blizzard will do a similar thing with brilliant mana/wizard oil. Its a 1.11 item so it won’t be out with ZG’s initial release. this is pretty much the same line of thinking. it wasn’t there at the beginning of the new content’s lifespan, so it won’t be there in classic.

[Voodoo-incendius]

Bumping for posterity

[Skiritana-sargeras]

signed; pls put it in the game

[Peànut-undermine (Peànut)]

This has to be an oversight , that’s all.

At least, i hope that’s all it is and can be put into game soon. If the ring doesn’t release till p6 or whatever its kinda lols.

[Cyclo-proudmoore]

I’m still waiting for the “Well, that’s how it was in vanilla.” blue post.

[Immolator-rattlegore-777077]

Hopefully bug/oversight. Other melee ring is there.

[Moriarty-kromcrush]

Bump. 10 char

[Peànut-undermine (Peànut)]

bump and one of those 10char thingamabobs, we need blue eyes on this, caster’s gonna wanna castrate!! unless they get their rings!
