WOTLK Arena Points given as Honor

WoW Classic WoW Classic Bug Report
1

The final week of s5’s arena point distribution was distributed incorrectly as honor points.

This is not mentioned at all in the blue post addressing end of season process, and completely goes against the spirit of the post (being able to buy old gear at 50% price with arena points).

https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/update-on-arena-gear-cost-and-point-conversion-timeline/1476219/10

Please fix this ASAP, as we have a tiny window to get in and buy old Deadly items with AP before the rollover to honor.

Confirmed multiple characters no arena points. If you had max honor already you get nothing. GGWP another great move.

I also received honor points. I did arena this week specifically to help a ret friend get his BIS libram. Nowhere was it communicated this weeks arena would reward honor and should be fixed.

The incompetence at Blizzard is astounding.

I also received no arena points and honor points instead. No one wants the honor. It is not close to the same. Why would the last week of the season silently produce rewards of the wrong type. Why didn’t all of the currency convert? Why did only the last week’s worth of points? Classic Blizzard competence.

Yes this is the problem, Arena end on Jan 2nd instead of Jan 9th. Everyone played the games before Jan 9th 10 p.m Pst and don’t receive arena points.

Please let us know a timeframe for updates, or if this is somehow intentional, despite all the posts suggesting the contrary.

I also experienced this bug. Any ETA on a fix would be amazingly helpful.

"Blizzard

The first Wrath Classic PvP season will be ending at 10:00 p.m. for each region. In this region, Season 5 will end at 10:00 p.m. PST on January 9 (1:00 a.m. EST, January 10).

During maintenance on January 10, we will update the game, and all Arena points will be converted to Honor.

Good luck fighting to the finish!"

Doesn’t seem like there was any glitch or bug. Starting to just think people are afraid to admit how scummy blizzard is at this point. Really crappy thing for them to pull but they won’t change it.

Per blue post linked in OP. Note the bolded part:

"Apologies for the confusion here. The previous post announcing the Season 5 end date was unfortunately incorrect. The end of Arena Season 5 will function much like Arena seasons 1-4 in Burning Crusade Classic functioned.

On Monday Jan 9th at 10 p.m. PST Arena Season 5 will end (in the US region) and the following will occur:

  • Arena Points costs for Deadly Gladiator gear will be halved, and all rating requirements will be removed from Deadly gear.
    • Note: The only exception to this is the Deadly Gladiator’s Tabard which will retain its 2300 rating requirement, but it will also have its Arena Points cost reduced by half after January 9th. After Season 6 begins* however, your Season 5 rating will be wiped and this tabard will no longer be available. If you would like to own this and qualify for it, you should purchase it as soon as possible after January 9th.
  • Savage and Hateful Gladiator gear will only be available for honor and the honor cost of these items will be reduced as well.
  • Savage and Hateful Gladiator gear that can already be purchased with Emblems of Heroism and Valor will not have their emblem cost reduced and will cost the same amount as they have throughout season 5.
    • The overall availability of Valor emblems should go up significantly in Season 6, with Valor moving to Heroic dungeons. Valor may also be converted to Heroism emblems at the appropriate vendor in Dalaran.

*Please note that we aren’t ready to announce a start date for Season 6 yet, but you will have at least one full week after January 9th to spend your Arena Points. When Arena Season 6 begins at that later date, the normal conversion of Arena Points to Honor will occur.

Sincere apologies for the miscommunication and inconvenience this might have caused. Hopefully this helps clear things up. Thank you!"

Specifically says that it’ll work like TBC (where you got your final cap) and that you’ll have a week to spend them. We didn’t get AP for this last week, we directly got Honor Points, and the existing Arena Points we had still remain.

Blue post linked in OP says that the post you are referencing was incorrect.

Hi Everyone,

The issue with the week of 1/3 - 1/10 Arena Points converting to Honor is an error and we are looking into it right now. I don’t have anything concrete to report at this moment, but we are aware of the issue and actively working on a resolution.

Thank you for the reports!

why has there been no update on arena cut offs???

Thank you for posting this.

My honor was maxed at 75k and I just thought I got no arena points. This fix would give me an additional deadly item.

Some guildies stated their honor was reverted and arena points awarded already and I’m still waiting on all of my characters. Must be fixing this issue in batches.

Sounds good. Thanks Aggrend. I just checked and still have only honor instead of Arena points. Happy to hear this was a bug and not intended.

May I note to just make Deadly Gear cost Honor? Its the most simple fix and It’s not like its bad for the game to have people in gear from a season that is now over to continue into the new one.

Cheers! Ty and look forward to seeing Arena points back in my grasps to purchase Deadly or to see Deadly cost Honor points !
