Upcoming Darkmoon Faire and Valor Points Changes

I did all 7 heroic randoms already, will not reward valor for anything past that. Not sure if it is bugged or what

Same. Was trying to do heroics to catch up on my valor on my DK, and now I don’t earn anymore valor even though I’m only halfway to the new 6400 cap.

W on valor change
Big L on DMF

So this may be a noob question but how long is a “Season”? Every 4 weeks? And since we are already a couple weeks in when will the reset be?

“seasons” = tiers, so the next season will open whenever t12 launches, they currently have that scheduled for october but they could change their mind at any time

So only 6400 valor between now and October? That seems really low, I mean what about off-spec?

Shows current maximum brother, 4x1600

that’s the current max. it’ll increase by 1600 each week. next week it will be 8000, the week after will be 9600

Ah ok, that makes a hell of a lot more sense, thank you

It is most likely a visual bug. Most likely they’re tallying your Valor since launch in the background and it doesn’t represent what it shows on the currency pane.

In other words, the cap is still 1600 a week but visually it is impossible to tell that right now.

You can go over the 1600 if you hadn’t capped the previous weeks.

You’re not reading the issue correctly. I’m not earning any more valor at all from random heroic dungeons. I understand that there is a visual bug about the maximum valor, but it is an even bigger, separate bug. I can’t go past the 7 dungeon cap that they had before the change.

7 dungeons is still the cap if you have been capping every week. It is still a 1600 weekly cap and 7 dungeons gets you that cap.

Have you capped your valor every week since the beginning? I don’t know if you have or not so I can only assume things right now.

I can say for myself I had NOT capped valor through three weeks, and still have a 7-dungeon cap. “There is no longer a cap to the number of times” is not ambiguous language.

Did you even read the blue post?

“*With regional realm restarts this week, Valor Points will behave like Conquest and the current weekly cap will be replaced with a rolling seasonal cap. If you’ve missed any Valor Points in previous weeks since Cataclysm Classic launched, you’ll now be able to catch up from those weeks.
*There is no longer a cap to the number of times you may earn Valor Points from Random Dungeon Finder each week, up to your normal Valor Points cap.”

There’s not supposed to be a weekly cap, but instead a seasonal cap. If you’ve capped the previous 3 weeks, then yes, the rest of your cap for this week will be 1600. But if you haven’t capped the past 3 weeks, then your cap should be 6400 minus however much you did get.

The 7 dungeon limit is supposed to be removed, based on the post. However, it’s supposedly still in place and is preventing people from going above the old 1600 weekly cap.

There very much may be a visual bug preventing you from seeing your seasonal cap, but the reports are that alts/people who haven’t capped since week 1, are unable to progress past 1600, regardless of the visual error

As I said, the guy’s not reading anything correctly.

I can confirm that I hit level 85 on my alt 2mins before the servers went down. Around an hour after servers were up I did my first Heroic Dungeon and got Valor but now after earning 1600, I can’t earn anymore in-game it shows my season’s cap is 30/6400 as I spent some already.

Still gated @ 1600 valor for the 7 heroic dungeon completions

You are correct, I was just breezing over your original post real quick and just didn’t read it fully. Even though it was short.

That does sound like a bug. If you would have just answered my question (which was obviously in the first post which was awful quick reading on my part) again, I would have been like man my bad you’re right.
