Patch 4.3 Mega Thread - Keep it all here

[valkry]

Doesnt change that it was possible.

So people who tried to follow the example of some others and tried to get an unfair advantage at the strat of a season got screwed over by Blizz fixing it...? I don't see your point.

[Multibocks]

Everyone knew about it and everyone that had any brains used it. Should have just let it be.

Same could be said for any bug.

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!

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?

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.

Pinot is talking about when last season ended and Blizzard screwed up the conversion.

As MiRai said I am talking about last season. They actually made two mistakes. First they turned the extra to 35silver before letting the one week pass. Next they changed the gear on the honor vendor to 371. They compensated people who purchased any gear but said sorry for the conversion. That's why I was saying bank your points at your own risk. I did it last season and had my extra points turned to silver with their mistake.

I see. Lets hope they don't screw up again then. Though I probably won't be bothering with "banking points." Doesn't take too long to grind out honour and I will probably be working when the patch is close to coming out. At least everyone will know about the ilvl change this time too, I know that upset a lot

[edit] Blah...change wasn't 4.3. Sorry. Disregard.
