Patch 4.3 Mega Thread - Keep it all here

[Multibocks]

I thought they said over 4k it would be temporary... I need to go read that again.

edit: Oh god you are right, it will be turned into gold. Bleh.

[zenga]

As far as I recall the intention with the start of the current season was that:
a) you could take a max of 4k honor with you into the next season (from doing bg's, etc)
b) any conquest point you had left, was converted into extra honor, even if that would put you over the cap

Say you had 3900 honor at the start of the new season, and 4300 conquest points, it would mean that you should receive 7200 honor. And as long as you are above the 4k, you would not gain any extra honor from doing bg's.

They fucked up royally though and converted the conquest points into gold, rectifying this later by giving everyone 4k free honor.

The way I read it for the coming season is that thet step away from this and will converted conquest points that put you above the honor cap into gold, and not into extra honor.

They never fixed it for the people who got screwed by the conversion. What they did was give people honor who purchased pvp items off the vendor which changed item level. I took a good ass reaming on that conversion deal. The only good that came out of it is I no longer pvp for the latest greatest carrot on a stick.

You are saying it like it's a new change. Blizz have been doing this new set of gear every major patch for like 3 and a half years now.

Getting tired of the whole "I worked hard to get the best gear now I have to do it all over again," welcome to WoW, you new?

Actually people have been able to save 8k before. Conquest + justice to get a jump on the other teams.

Saving up 4k CP, buying conq gear before the patch, then selling back after the patch for full CP was a cheap method to get ahead, and I can pretty much say on behalf of Blizz that it wasn't intended to be possible. I'm glad they are changing it.

I still think most people are missing the fact that valor points and conquest points will be turned into justice points and honor, even above the 4k cap. I'll have 4k honor, 4k justice points, 6k valor points and 8k conquest points. So after the patch hits I'll have 12k honor, and 10k justice points. You obviously have to use up honor first before you can convert justice points into honor, but in total it's gonna be around 18.5k honor I get while a full suit costs something like 23;5k if I recall correct (minuts the weapons). So that is something like 5k to grind on patch day.

Yeah if you really want a jump you can bank everything like I did last season. Just pray they don't fubar the conversion and turn it into gold like they did last time. I lost many thousands of honor when they messed up the conversion. After the error last season I would say bank at your own risk. Goodluck!

I think your confusing what happened. The people who purchased pvp gear before they changed the ilevel received honor compensation. The thing I am talking about is when they made an error with the conversions. Instead of letting the conquest points give honor above the 4k cap like they stated, the system mistakenly converted anything above 4k to 35 silver. So anyone who would have had 10K+ honor (like me) lost it all and received 35 silver instead. Banking points is a great way to get a jump on gear but with last seasons screw up it's very risky.

I'm pretty sure I read, that after the season ends, they are converting all CP to honour, and it stays above the cap. You then get a week to spend it for when the new season hits, they are converting everything above the cap into gold/silver.

I will try to find it.

Arena and Rated Battleground Season 10 is scheduled to end as early as November 15. At that point we will determine who is eligible for the end-of-season rewards, a process that should take approximately one week. It's very important for players who feel that they may be eligible for Arena titles and/or the Vicious Gladiator’s Twilight Drake to refrain from transferring their characters to another realm or faction until after Season 10 ends. During the break between seasons, all Rated Battleground and Arena matches will be unavailable.

At the end of the season, Conquest Points will be converted to Honor Points, possibly exceeding the 4,000 point Honor cap. All Season 10 items will cost Honor Points (equivalent to their previous Conquest Point cost) when the season ends, with the exception of any items with rating requirements attached. These items will no longer be available for purchase.

Please be aware that higher ilvl PvP items will be introduced and available for Honor points with patch 4.3.

The next Arena and Rated Battleground season will begin for level-85 players approximately one week after the end of Season 10 and will coincide with the awarding of Season 10 titles and mounts. At that time, any Honor accrued above the 4,000-point cap will be converted into gold at a rate of 35 silver per point. In addition, Season 11 rewards will be made available for purchase with Conquest Points awarded during the new season. Matchmaking Ratings will carry over when Season 11 begins, but all Team and Personal Ratings will be wiped.

IN SHORT:
1. Season ends
2. CP turns into HP, can go above the 4k limit, but can't earn any more until you spend it.
3. The season 10 CP gear will be buyable with HP

4. ONE WEEK PASSES

5. New arena season
6. Anything above 4k HP gets turned into gold
7. Gear, better than season 10 CP gear (from point 3) will be buyable with HP.
8. Season 11 gear better than the new HP gear will be buyable with CP.

Last season, a LOT of people got pissed because they bought all the old CP gear with honour, BEFORE the NEW honour gear got released, making them farm 23k honour AGAIN.

Well, the blue post says that there is a possibility that conquest will convert to honor, and possibly exced the 4 k max cap. And we must not forget about JP this wont be converted to gold, and you'll be able to get 3 k honor by converting it
