Season 9 Starting - Rated BGs, Rated Arena

[Svpernova09]

The new season starts today so all you PvPers, lets see some video.

Who's going to be the first arena team to 1800? 2000?

[tanknspanker]

100 bucks on kruschpack :p

[BrothelMeister]

100 bucks on kruschpack :p

If youre taking monetary bets, I'll bet against you and send kruschpak $50 not to arena till after someone else reaches it :p

[Svpernova09]

Just because I'm in BG9...


BG9 or it doesn't count :_X

[Mosg2]

With nobody having any gear right now it wouldn't surprise me if a boxed team could skyrocket to 2k in a day or two.

When I do my games I'll be live streaming them :)

[Mosg2]

As soon as the servers come up I'm going to go make my arena team but most likely I'm going to wait until this evening to do games.

What team are you rolling with Svpernova?

[Boylston]

What team are you rolling with Svpernova?

Shh... I think he's playing Solo, primarily!

[Svpernova09]

Shh... I think he's playing Solo, primarily!

Yep, I'm primarily running solo. Not sure what comps, for the moment it's going to be dictated by which of my friends are 85 already. Some are taking RL breaks and some are just being slow to level.

[remanz]

GL to all who will be doing arenas.

I want to challenge other boxers for war games !!

[Sephice]

QFT!

Come to us!

Show us how bad we are :)

[remanz]

my conquest pts capped kinda fast , after like 9 games it capped.
Overall, it felt like last season. Stuff dies fast and I die fast. I played a bit. DK + rets are ok. Not super, but ok.

I am german too, so i can only see the new pvp stuff today after work ... damn :(. so here are my questions:

How much resilence do you currently have?
What is the cost for the gear?
Is 4 Rets + 1 DK running okay?

Kind regards,
Bara

Well I dont have US accounts :p (eu cyclone>bg9!)

Anyway all the german realms are in one big battlegroup now so it shouldnt take much time to get 2k/2,2k but I wont promise anything, perhaps I cant pull more than 1,8 out this season ... perhaps easy 2,2 in a couple of days and <150 games

will see, first of all I have to get sorrowsong hc on each shaman+wintergrasp trinket is a really retarded comp, sorrowsong proccs each time you get an enemy below 35% hp, I got it already with all 3 shamans normal and 1 hc (1500/1800 spellpower procc) and then tol barad trinket 1,9k spellpower on use = 4k additional spellpower

thats just win :D

[remanz]

dk + rets work. not super, but work.

i had like 1 piece pvp gear average 325 item level on all characters. The way the match pans out feels like last season at level 80. Just a zerg fest vs CC match. this would change later into the season though since ppl get more resilience .

[Barazanthul]

One last question:

When do you get points? For winning a game or du you get points even if you loose a match?

[remanz]

You get points the moment you win. For each win you get points right away. and you can spend it right away. the cap is about 1400 for me for week 1. I assume as your rating goes higher the cap will go higher. At this rate, it takes at most 3 weeks to get entry level PVP epic weapon. level 359 I think. Kinda the easy mode.

[remanz]

I looked through the pvp rewards. All seems to cost conquest points. This makes me wonder if there are enough reasons to do BG at all, other than for fun I guess. we don't really need honor do we.

[Mosg2]

The starter honor set is better than the crafted set.

/shrug

[Barazanthul]

So plan for today:

1.) Buy blue honor gear for 4k points
2.) Wait for my healer to get online
3.) Start playing
4.) Cry because everything crushes me :(

Did someone try out the new ingi zapper (4k dmg 2 min cd)? As far as i can see it is really crappy and i will stay with my rockets :( In addition this is a procc :(.

[remanz]

Honor = hard to get. Conquest pts are easy mode.

Tol baral or wintergrasp, I never get in those with 5 . Heck I can't even get in with 1. Random BG queue, a whopping 30min queue on my server. BG is just not worth it.

[Barazanthul]

Hmm i did not test BG's in cata, because the last time i tried i had 17 Minutes invite time >.<. But i think i will give it a try this weekend. On the other hand if the arena thing is going well, i will dropp the bg thing.

You should update the question to who is going to be first without win trading or the european carebear setup where everyone reaches rank 1 together.
