We really do need this if blizz wants us to play our alts and find all the bugs before df hits, that or just make all pvp gear scale to highest ilvl

Notice in WOTLK pre-patch they let you buy all the gear for honor and grind as much as you want… Everyone grinded max gear on alts, had a blast doing it, and it kept them busy the entire time!

Can we move that mindset to retail?

I mean it’s kind of a thing now because you don’t lose rating in shuffle so everybody just gets free duelist-elite gear provided they put in some time.

Also no more ranks in a month.

ARe you sure it’s broken? After today maintenance, still can’t upgrade gear with Rated Solo rating

yes, its broken. they explicitly said that players would be able to continue to push rating and upgrade conquest gear during prepatch

Oh really. I’m fine with that so people can gear like you said, but I had no idea. Now I don’t want to queue on Ret though since it’s free like that. Will just focus on alts I guess.

You lose rating if you have 1 or 2 wins.

33

Just leave. :sunglasses:

Someone go wake up the guy who put on the conq boxes the other week … He can probably flick that switch real quick

Some Blue just made a post about Rated Solo update next week. But did not say anything about Upgrading Conquest gear.

Blizz clarified everything in this post recently, thanks!

I’ve tested 2’s and 3’s the rating is locked and even when I win a game im unable to spend the honor for the relevant rank win I currently am.

So you’re saying even when you play 2’s and 3’s, you still can’t upgrade your Conquest gear?

43

Dont bother. You win 10 matches and gain nothing, lose 1 and lose 20 rating. Blizzard has apparently recruited math majors from the special olympics to handle the rating system.

Yes, it depends on MMR. If I’m 2200 and queuing with my 1400 buddy and it’s putting us into 1700 games then on losses I’ll go -24 but gain +0 on wins because I’m heavily favored.

This isn’t the most realistic scenario, but point gain (or loss) kind of swings around based on how much the system favors you in the particular matchup.
