Update : Added a small recap of the less important blue post at the end of the post.
Anticipated news post because we just had 3 very interesting blue posts, will update in a few hours with the "minor" blue posts.
Season 2 Team Qualification
A few days ago, Blizzard announced that they will "filter" inactive arena teams before giving out arena season 2 rewards, Drysc posted an explanation about this.
[blizzquote author=Drysc Source=http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=2649798359&postId=26810876006&sid=1#0]While the date for the end of Season 2 has not yet been announced, we wanted to let everyone know beforehand about a change to the requirements for a team to be counted towards the total teams considered for the end of season rewards.
Our goal with this change is to remove teams from being counted that could not already be eligible for the end of season rewards. By not counting them we’re effectively limiting the pool of teams that are added up before calculating the final 0.5% for the end of season rewards.
The requirements for a team to be counted (both requirements must be met):
- The team must have played at least 20 games during the season.
- The team must have at least one player that has played in 20% or more of the total games for that team.
As the requirement to be eligible for the end of season rewards is also 20% participation for the entire season, this overlap merely ensures that teams that have active and eligible members will be counted.[/blizzquote]
Focused Will changes
Focused Will is being changed.
BG Daily quests will reward 400 honor, not 4000
This will probably make a lot of people sad, but it seems that the BG Daily quests rewards are totally wrong, they're supposed to reward 400 honor points, not 2000 or 4000 like what we saw in previous builds.
