Darkmoon Faire Cross-Realm Zone

Yeah, and that's the intent behind CRZ as a whole. The Darkmoon Faire being CRZ'd is intentional, the problem is it's just allowing too many people into the same cross-realm instance right now and causing some overcrowding issues. Much of the intent of cross-realm zones is providing the experience of a lively massively-multiplayer environment, even for lower level zones where players don't tend to congregate as much any more. We certainly want the Darkmoon Faire to always feel like you're visiting a mystical carnival full of excited patrons.

We've developed a fix and that will be implemented with Tuesday morning's rolling restarts. Let us know what you think afterward, and we'll be closely monitoring the changes as well.

You're certain it's a weapon? ;) (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)

Conquest Catch Up System
After looking into the reported issues with catch-up caps not being appropriate I wanted to clarify on a few points.

(Week of season x 1000) - Total Conquest Points earned this season = Conquest cap

This calculation is not actually 100% correct and does leave some room for interpretation. To clarify on the formula and to ensure that you are all aware of how your Conquest cap should be calculated:

(Week of season - 1) * 1000 – Conquest points earned this season + Cap received from your current rating = Weekly cap

As you can see, your cap from rating should be added on top of the catch-up cap and the first week of the season is not included in the calculation, I have corrected my previous posts to reflect this. The reason that the calculation is actually uses "Week of season - 1" is because if we included the first week then we’d basically be giving players an extra 1000 points in the first week. The goal of this system is to give players who haven’t been maxing their conquest a way to catch up, not to give everyone an additional boost in the first week.

In addition to this, some of you have stated that you noticed some of your catch up cap disappearing mysteriously, try doing the calculation again with the new formula provided above. If you are still missing some of your catch up cap, can you provide some additional information to help us with looking into this matter such as; your current Conquest point cap and the amount of points that you have earned so far this season.

    The unannounced feature was mined months ago. It's Defense of the Alehouse. They gotta implement it before Pandaria is irrelevant.

    That would be considered additional content to the pre-existing BG feature rather than as a new feature in it's own right even if the map itself has a different ruleset than the existing BGs.

    Like the other posters from before, I'm better it's the weapon enchant transmog.

    A new vendor, you stick the weapon into the window, drop the scroll of what you want the item to look like, and pay some gold fee to apply the look.

    People will do old content to get the mats. People who were expecting some huge replayability system to scale old raids will QQ, and this is why Blizzard needs to stop hinting at stuff. Either say what it is, or say nothing at all.

    Lol at fanboys yet again.



    This is what the original quote said. Clearly, he acknowledged that it would be something of similar scale to LFD/LFR and have a big ("huge") impact on the game.
    The "hype" is only his fault, either because he's very naive and stupid or wanted to bait and switch players yet again like they've done several times in the past (character models, dance studio, etc)
    As seen in this thread, apparently they can get away with this because fanboys will always make up an excuse for them.
    Hilarious.

    The word ''disapointment'' is used so much in these forums, its discusting. They literally havent said shit aside from the fact that some will like it some will be meh about it, and people are already fucking complaining LOL. Meh, what would I expect most of you using the word ''disapointment' dont even play, so whatever. Next time, get ready to not get any kind of comunication from them until its announced, people literally cant control themselves, and appertantly cant read either >.<

    Pretty much this. the community has taken one tweet and look at how many threads there are about it.

    It does not matter what it is any more.

    All we know is that there will be pages and pages of rage on MMO-C when it gets announced.

    You fucking amaze me.... Honestly you must have some gift for reading invisible text.

    How the fuck do you get that from "We haven't announced it yet"

    I thought the inference that the "unannounced feature" would have similar impact akin to LFD and LFR was quite clear in that tweet myself without my special "invisible text" reading glasses on, which is now being downplayed by GC. Unless it's the label of "bait and switch" you object to?

    All I see him saying is they haven't announced what it would be yet. That is ALL I can read from it. Thats all anyone should read from it. how do you get it would have a similar impact? He didn't even mention lfr or lfd, the person asking the question did.
