PVP GEAR - is this an effing joke?

the balance between you and your opponent. he’s as affected as you are by these ilvl situations.

None of what you said holds any relevance to what I said.

i’m saying that your complaints are unfounded.

I didn’t complain?

no, you are entirely wrong
current honor gear always means same ilvl of previous seasons conquest gear because they are the same sets

Yeah i mean youre just wrong about everything here.

Normally the last season set is moved to honor. The new set would be put into conquest.

Honor farm up last seasons set then get into arena for new set

This time we have a full honor set to farm, again, despite having bis last season, then replace it with conquest. First time its been done like this all of classic and you act like its normal. Dont comment on topics you’re ignorant on i guess?

No, you are both entirely wrong. This is EXACTLY how it happened in OG cataclysm.

  • In an unannounced change, Season 9 Vicious sets (ilevel 365) purchased by Honor Points in the interseason week were not the same as the Season 10 Vicious sets (ilevel 371) purchased by Honor Points during Season 10. This means that players who spent the week between seasons grinding out Honor Points to start Season 10 in full Vicious gear found themselves with inferior gear than what they could have purchased once S10 started.

This is how it was in OG Cata, I remember it happening and I remember the reactions being the same.

Having two items of identical name with different ilevels never made sense to me, but this is how it was

This is also the first time that honor gear will be an upgrade of the previous season’s arena gear in classic right? kinda understandable why people would be confused

Was this the only season it happened or did they make the same mistake again?

they make the same mistake again, there’s two versions of the ruthless set also and it goes from 384 to 390

Ouch, well at least its been confirmed this is the norm.

Anyway… just woke up from a nap, back to farming fissures.

Thats not what either of us said.

This is the first time in classic the system works this way. People are surprised. You said its the same as all the other seasons have been, its not.

I never said this.

Try again please.

People can be surprised all they want. But they are only caught off guard because of their own ignorance.

Im sorry, come again?

People took this, correctly, as you saying why would this season be any different than previous seasons…

Maybe theres a disconnect between your brain and your fingers. Idk figure it out if you don’t want to miscommunicate your meaning.

What do you mean I have to grind honor again???

By previous season I think he meant as in 15 years ago on Cataclysm, people have already posted proof that this was what happened 15 years ago.

The disconnect is you not reading the entire topic before commenting. Not my fault.

Additionally, my comment about the gear being better than previous seasons was made before I realized fully that he meant every honor piece, and not just the offset pieces.

Says the person that tried to say that there was no rated gear at all in Cata.

I noticed you have since been applying that exception since I called you out on it, BTW.

Ya they should have just had the 371 gear off the hop for pvp in p1 and the 390 gear for p2. As it is pvp gear needs a little buff so that pve gear isn’t way better on some pieces. 390 pvp gear wouldn’t be as good as a 378 piece for pve with all the wasted secondary stats anyway. No idea why they did it this way.
