    This is why we can't have nice things

    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.

    But but... the feature... :'( I must know what it is!

    I guess they decided it wouldn't live up to its hype and won't disclose what it is.

    What... no legendary weapon??
    But.. but... I thought it would be awesome to get a cool model or something.
    I wonder what it is going to be then... a cloak? Chest armor? Shoulders?

    Also, brilliant Dark legacy comic.

    So in other words, the unnanounced feature is nothing special.

    Obviously, the unannounced "special" feature was the desktop client.

    That 50% off should be permanent, it's fricking cheaper to buy a new game than to move characters and faction change...

  15. #15
    Great now they'll never give us any clues to anything. This is why we cant have nice things!

    They want it to be sort of expensive, otherwise people would be server hopping like mad. Exactly what people are doing now in a dulled sort of way.

    They are realizing the community is full of dicks who won't appreciate anything they do is all.

    Probably the unannaounced feature is somenthign really marginal and a basic QoL improvement that the hype isn't justified at all.

    So instead of letting people build insane hype and then go all around raging/whining, they have just cut its legg off right now by saying "hey, don't hype. It's something cool but not that much."

    I find it more true than the daily blinks. Than again daily blink is more on the sarcastic side and is not supposed to be true.
