News Roundup: PvP rating issue hotfix, Blizzard tweets on gearing

posted 2014/03/31 at 4:15 PM by oliviadgrace

Wowhead launches Class Guides!Class Guides pageMMR issues hotfix incoming

Daxxarri

We recently implemented a hotfix to address a bug that allowed Personal Ratings to exceed Matchmaking Rating. As a result, some players may notice that they do not gain or lose Personal Rating in the wake of a match. As more matches are played, these ratings will normalize and converge to the correct rating, and Personal Rating will then rise or drop accordingly.

In the meantime, we will continue to monitor the situation and make further adjustments if necessary.

Lore

The intent of this change was to fix a bug that was allowing some players to boost their personal rating far above their matchmaking rating. Unfortunately, the change we made inadvertently affected many legitimate players as well, causing them to see a personal rating gain of 0 in some cases.

To correct this, we’ll be relaxing the boundaries at which the system will attempt to limit personal rating gains (or losses) in relation to a player’s individual MMR. Once this hotfix is live, you should once again see ratings gains or losses as normal as long as your personal rating is within 100 points of your individual MMR rating. Note that your own MMR is what matters here, not the average for your team (which is the number displayed at the end of a match).

So I'm assuming after a few games (1-5) this should balance out your MMR with your CR, since it's your personal, not team. And you should be gaining points per game? I haven't played 3's in a few days and I'm itching :D

likely to be out later todayBlizzard Tweets on GearingNite_Mooglehttps://twitter.com/IshayuG">@IshayuG</a>https://twitter.com/nite_moogle/statuses/450688778869288960">March

Preparing for Patch 5.4 Guide: Gear Changes, Removed Content, and More!

posted 2013/09/03 at 11:55 AM by perculia

Valor PointsExisting Gear Changes

In Patch 5.4, all reputation gear tied to MoP factions (except for Shado-Pan Assault) will cost Justice Points instead of Valor Points and the reputation requirements will be lifted--so if you hate grinding reps and are short on VP, just wait a week to buy those items.

Shado-Pan Assault gear will still cost Valor Points in 5.4, but heavily discounted, so it's probably best to wait and buy those items when the patch hits. Shoulders are unaffected, as they cost gold.

Item upgrades aren't going away in 5.4--if you're not sure what to do this week, upgrade your best pieces with Valor this week, and buy the cheaper Shado-Pan Assault upgrades next week.

Patch 5.4 also introduces ilvl 496 BoA gear on the Timeless Isle. While you can't usually control what slot and armor type you'll get a token for, this gear is of a higher item level than the epics which formerly required reputation. Unlike past random-stat items, these epics come with chest, leg, and helm sockets. So hold off on buying some BoEs this week to boost your alt's item level, and send them some Timeless tokens next week.

Once raiding Siege of Orgrimmar you will get ilvl 528 from LFR, 540 Flex, 553 Normal, 559 Warforged, 566 Heroic, and 572 Heroic Warforged. Blizzard posted a blog on 9/4 covering Siege of Orgrimmar Raid Schedules, and you need ilvl 496 to queue up for LFR Siege of Orgrimmar. Flex Wing 1 will be available on September 10th, but LFR Wing 1 will be available on September 17th.

Since this blog's focus is about what you can currently do before 5.4, we're not going to dive into new gear too much--we've got more gear blogs planned for launch week, and in the meantime you can check out our blogs on Tier 16 Itemsets, Season 14 PvP gear, Patch 5.4 Trinkets, Siege of Orgrimmar Weapons, and Siege of Orgrimmar Loot tables. We also have all loot details up on Siege of Orgrimmar boss pages, including Flexible loot.

Click the cut to read about more ways to prep for Patch 5.4!Currency Changes

Valor Points will not be converted to Justice Points in Patch 5.4. If you have all Valor Points gear already, hold onto it for future upgrades. There will be no new Valor Points gear to buy in 5.4.

Conquest Points will be converted to Honor Points because there's a new arena season starting.

As far as Mogu Rune of Fate, the bonus rolls will now work on Throne of Thunder pets in 5.4--if you really like pets, it might be worth saving a few for Living Fluid. since old LFRs are obsoleted when people level past 90 and you can only get that pet in LFR. Mogu Rune of Fate can also be acquired for 0 Timeless Coin in 5.4.

If you're done with Throne of Thunder loot and dislike farming Lesser Charms, hold on to them this week since you'll need them in 5.4 for Siege of Orgrimmar's Warforged Seal in instead.

It won't be as easy in 5.4 to convert Justice Points into Honor Points and quickly get a fresh set of epics, since the conversion has been increased from 375 > 250 to 500 > 250. However, as listed above, there are easy ways to now get PvE epics with Justice Points.

For a full list of currency changes, check out our 5.4 PTR: Currency and Reputation Gear blog.

Crafting Preparation

As far as crafted gear goes, there will be ilvl 476 PvP recipes players can learn when making Celestial Cloth, Hardened Magnificent Hide, or Balanced Trillium Ingot. These daily transmutes require about the same materials needed to learn the ilvl 458 PvP recipes, so if you're short on materials and still want to learn some new recipes, it's best to wait a week. Players really into collecting recipes should stockpile Bolt of Windwool Cloth, Magnificent Hide, Trillium Bar, and Ghost Iron Bar.

These ilvl 476 Crafted Malevolent recipes will also help with boosting item levels and perhaps bypassing some lower-tier LFRs.

If you want to be one of the first to craft and use the new ilvl 553 BoE epics (legs and belts), you'll be interested in crafting several Accelerated Balanced Trillium Ingot, Accelerated Celestial Cloth, and Accelerated Hardened Magnificent Hide a day, which take the raw mats listed above in addition to Spirit of War, found from DEing 5.4 gear.

Many new glyphs are being added in Patch 5.4. The recipes will take some farming to get (world drops or Timeless Isle drops), but they'll all require Ink of Dreams, so stock up on that.

Living Steel is also worth hanging on to, as it will be used in a variety of Engineering vanity items, like Pierre.

We'll have a full overview of profession changes up at the end of the week, so stay tuned!

Removed Content

Eternally in the Vale will be removed from Vale of Eternal Blossoms as the zone undergoes some major changes from the Patch 5.4: Siege of Orgrimmar trailer. You will still be able to hit Exalted with the Golden Lotus, complete quests that grant achievements, and farm Alani.

With the patch coming pretty soon, you're probably best off supplementing daily rep gains with Stolen Golden Lotus Insignia from Zandalari Warbringer, making sure to do Work Order: Golden Lotus II at your farm every day, and selecting Golden Lotus for bonus dungeon and scenario rep. Be sure to pick up Grand Commendation of the Golden Lotus at revered to speed your reputation gains along if you want Eternally in the Vale.

For a complete look at all the changes in the Vale and a summary of Eternally in the Vale, check out our updated 5.4 Golden Lotus Guide.

The weekly quests for Battlefield Barrens, as well as most special vanity items, are being removed in 5.4. You will not be able to get Latent Kor'kron transmog armor or any Darkspear Rebellion vanity gear after the patch, or complete Hordebreaker/Darkspear Revolutionary and get the resulting title.

You will still be able to get Raptorhide Boxing Gloves and Gahz'rooki's Summoning Stone by killing Kor'kron mobs in the Barrens. While it's too late to start collecting Radical Mojo for a full set of Latent Kor'kron Armor, you can probably farm up items like Griftah's Authentic Troll Shoes with some friends quickly before 5.4.

Griftah's Authentic Troll Shoes may be available at a later point as well, since they're so popular and occupy a unique transmog niche.

To learn more about Battlefield Barrens, check out our detailed event guide.

Season 13 Elite PvP gear and the Tyrannical Gladiator's Tabard and Tyrannical Gladiator's Greatcloak are going away. Season 13 Elite gear is particularly unique because it required players to earn a ton of Conquest Points but didn't have a rating requirement. Season 14 Elite gear will be handled differently--in addition to earning a ton of points, you also need a high rating.

Wowhead Tools

Our PTR database has all the new Patch 5.4 gear, and our Siege of Orgrimmar boss pages have loot broken down by LFR, Flex, Normal, Heroic difficulties as well as by Loot Specialization.

Our items pages and item comparison tool now have Challenge Mode scaling options, so you can roughly see what your gear becomes inside a Challenge Mode or 5.4 Proving Ground.

Our Profiler can now be used on our PTR site to make Equipment Sets and item lists of 5.4 gear sets.

Our Battle Pet Team Calculator lets you save your ideal pet teams for the Celestial Tournament and power leveling. When 5.4 hits, you can also compare your teams to the Celestial Tournament teams as well.

There's been many glyph and talent changes, which you can check out on our PTR talent calculator.

Gearing Up for Patch 5.4

posted 2013/08/22 at 11:10 AM by perculia

The Timeless Isle has BoA armor tokens, which can be turned into ilvl 496 or, if lucky, ilvl 535 items. Some even have distinctive transmog looks! We've gone over the specifics in our heirloom blog, and have added tabs on all BoA token pages for users to see what items are created by each token.

Reputation gear from all MoP factions will cost Justice Points instead of Valor Points, and will have their reputation requirement lifted. We investigated all the costs on the PTR--you can check out the in-depth blog on currency changes here.

Shado-Pan Assault epics will require Friendly reputation and also have greatly reduced costs.

A new PvP season in 5.4 means new levels of PvP gear. ilvl 496 Tyrannical Gear will cost Honor Points, while ilvl 522 Grievous Gear will cost Conquest Points.

Valor is not being reset and the best thing to do with your points is to use them for item upgrades in 5.4.

You'll still want to hold onto your Lesser Charm of Good Fortune for Warforged Seals in 5.4 This quest rewards 3x Warforged Seal, which can be used for bonus loot in the Siege of Orgrimmar.

News Roundup: Flex Raiding, Proving Grounds, Siege of Orgrimmar Gear

posted 2013/07/22 at 11:55 AM by perculia

Siege of OrgrimmarSiege of Orgrimmar

Siege of Orgrimmar LFR loot is ilvl 528. It is intended to feel like a meaningful upgrade over gear from the last tier, and there's already ilvl 522 Valor gear and ilvl 516 Heroic Scenario gear which many LFR players have equipped.

Siege of Orgrimmar Normal loot is ilvl 553. It is intended to be higher than than Heroic Throne of Thunder loot, which is ilvl 549 when Thunderforged and upgraded, so most players won't be disenchanting Siege normal drops in favor of their older heroic gear.

Siege of Orgrimmar Flexible mode loot is ilvl 540, between LFR and Normal levels. While some Flexible items may still be coveted because they are itemized very well, chances are you will get that item sooner in Normal or Heroic since those raid difficulties will be available before Flex opens.

It's not intended for players to run LFR, Flex, and Normal/Heroic at the same time for upgrades--the goal, after a few weeks, is to have raiders simply run the difficulty that best suits their progression. For Normal/Heroic raiders looking to get achievements done on the side, an additional lockout for Flex raiding should be handy as well.

5.4 PTR: Timeless Isle Zone Preview, BoA Epic Loot, Pets, and World Bosses

posted 2013/07/18 at 8:12 PM by perculia

Timeless Islewithout

There's a new pet tournament on the Timeless Isle, as well as mini-Celestial battle pets to acquire.

Epic ilvl 496 Timeless Gear can be acquired by looting rare chests, killing mobs, and turning in Timeless Coin. These items, like Amaranthine Robe, have random stats, and the armor token that creates them, Timeless Cloth Robes, is BoA, meaning you can send these to your alts for gearing up! There are also ilvl 535 versions, tagged as Timeless, of these same items--perhaps Burden of Eternity will be involved.

There's hardly any daily quests, just one--A Timeless Question--in which you answer questions about Azeroth's lore.

In addition to selling gear tokens, there's vendors that have rare-spawn nameplates that sell "Dapper Gentleman" Costume and despawn after a period of time.

Tons of rare elites to kill, as well as chests to loot.

The Timeless Isle is also home to Celestial world bosses, needed for Wrathion's questline in The Emperor's Way, as well as Ordos, a world boss that only players who have finished the legendary questline (account-wide) can access.
