Season 4 for Honor Kind of Screws People Who Do Arena

[Flashyou-mankrik]

Doesnt screw anyone the season is over. This is like complaining about people getting old raid gear with less effort than w1 guilds

If you lose your current arena points (since you’re already honor capped), how does that not screw one over? Did you actually read the content of the post?

You don’t know what you’re talking about. I have six 2s teams and one 3s teams. The 3s team is the only one that earns over 1k honor per week. All the others get about 700 - 900 points per week

That is on you for not playing 5s or pushing rating.

I do know, because I have geared several alts casually and I am not at all stressed about gear and points. They WERE plenty good enough to us this season with the increased point gain.

[Flashyou-mankrik]

Spend your points then? Whats the issue? I must be confused. Cause im trying to read on my break

I’m saying a random BGer should have the right to earn some arena gear through BGs, if an arena player is going to have the freedom to enter random BGs with all their powerful gear.

Most arena gear just takes points and does not need a rating. You can literally do 10 matches a week and get free points for taking an L on every match.

You can also do extremely well in pve gear. Resil isnt that powerful in TBC. This pve geared rogue decimates most people in bgs and all I need to do is switch out my WSC for the 2k honor trinket.

People should not get a higher currency for lower tier content, whether that is arena points in bgs, or a badge that can buy raid gear from instances. The player should only get rewarded for doing the approiate level of content for that reward.

@Wafectus-deviate-delight

Because I’m playing the funnest version of the game possible, which happens to be classic, not retail.

Retail quite literally has what youre asking. You can get conquest points (arena points) from doing your daily bg and daily big battle bg, and doing your weekly pvp quest, and you can farm out conquest points via wins after your first win but at a reduced rate. You can get the best pvp gear by never touching arena or rated bgs.

@Wafectus-deviate-delight

Well, as a customer

As a customer I dont want this. Are you now magically better than me and carry more weight in your wants?

You dont.

And my wants dont outweigh yours, so lets not use this “as a customer” or whatever logic that can be turned around instantly.

Pretty sure the only thing retail does not have is bots in instances for your single player story mode, but everything else you want is in retail.

Is it the classic story that keeps you interested? Or what? I dont get it when you describe this to be “more funner” but you have a problem with every system and every design intention.

He’s upset that none-arena players can now purchase all that powerful gear without having done arena.

I hope no one told him that PvEers can use their currency to buy the previous season’s gear too.

I can’t spend my points because the last 2 items I need are rating locked. At the end of a season the rating is removed.

[Berkshire-atiesh]

His point is that there’s nothing to buy with his arena points earned (so all the points he’s been earning lately is pretty much a waste). He’s not saying they shouldnt be purchasable with honor, he’s saying they should also be purchasable with arena points.

No you didn’t read carefully. My problem is my arena points become useless with this change.

An easy fix for this would to be to remove the honor point cap so that people who planned ahead and farmed max honor and arena points aren’t punished. Reinstate the cap on wrath launch day because everyone should have spent the overflow points by then.

Thank you for reading and understanding my point!

[Kurathis-pagle]

Sorry to hear your points are going to be wasted (and subsequently your time, as well)

Is there any information regarding how much honor items will cost? Curious to see if they’ll at least be pretty costly, given their strength.

Yes, this would be good too.

[Redline-shadow-council]

Hopefully we’ll have answers on the PTR soon

[Kurathis-pagle]

I’m also curious, was there a blue post about this? I can’t find anything.

I don’t think any details such as this have been provided yet.

[Ballballhead-benediction]

Blizz is catering to rerolls and DK’s instead of characters that played the game too much and sit at capped points.

Hopefully they come up with a solution to your situation, I assume you’re not the only one in it. Maybe they’ll announce both at the same time

@Mootwo-earthfury

For this people should expect it. We’re going into Wrath. Hopefully you got to enjoy that gear when it was current. Same with the old rank gear. It’s no big deal.

Agree on this Ik a few r14s who weren’t happy about the weapons mostly

[Gingamok-bloodsail-buccaneers]

A few days of grace period where you can spend your arena points would be nice. Or mail you some item that grants you the appropriate honor so you can temporarily go over the honor cap. It wasn’t possible for players to know this was happening since it is unprecedented.
