Patch 4.2 Valor Points Rewards, Firelands Ragnaros Video, Blue Posts, Artworks

I realize you aren't the only person that responded, but you're the last one on the list. So here it goes as I try to speak your language.

lol hunters should be gimped in that slot because they shouldn't get their main weapon even though every other class gets one. they shouldn't even receive an alternative, since their melee weapon is only a stat stick to the hunter class either because i can't even comprehend what balance is lolol.

I think I nailed it.

Don´t they do off-hand daggers and swords? that is like half the solution. But yeah, they should probably make an AGI staff that is hunter only. But in reality, don´t hunters have a really easy time getting their melee weapons. There are always a ton of agi swords and daggers littering up the drop tables.

I hope this is only joke

Wotlk new player? I have nightmares of ´hey guys, who wants to run Kara tonight?'

[Lockula]

An interesting fight it would seem. Granted we only saw 2 phases and 2 intermissions before they wiped. Which there was a third phase that was not shown.

[buggerlugs]

I hope this is only joke

nope. Been playing since before they added dire maul.
We used to have dozens of different tokens and it took blizzard years to realise how stupid it was.
They had stuff you could only buy with AV tokens, stuff you could only buy with AB tokens etc - it was ridiculous.

Now they've changed the honor system to reward far too much. I got a full set of bg gear in less than a week.
When they added the possibility to exchange honor for justice a few weeks ago, i had a full set of that pve gear in under a week. So the situation is that within 2-3 weeks people literally have nothing to buy - nothing! because you have all of it.

The system has always been wrong and it still is. Why can people who have never done any pvp at all get access to better pvp gear than someone who can play 24/7 non rated bgs, simply because they can purchase tokens ?

If a raider spends 3 hours doing a raid and you need 2 raids to buy an item for lets say 1000 tokens (500 rewarded each reset), then why not let someone who is not in a raiding guild and only has access to heroics buy the same item but that they only get rewarded 100 tokens each reset? They are putting more effort in while maintaining the level they choose to play - same with honor. If thats not acceptable then giving people access to pvp gear for valor is also not acceptable - get off your ass and do some pvp for the gear.

I miss normal sized bosses, I'm tired to fight against their feet, or in this case, against the vortex ¬¬

[obscurede]

ooo ooooo ooblizzard.....y not make the "old" cata raids on a daily reset, so that its easily done.......-_-

[gamelyn]

I think the most interesting question that nobody raised was the JP/VP to HP/CP conversation. For example, if I had 2000 Valor could I turn them into Conquest, let 4.2 drop and then switch them back to Valor? Same for JP to HP.

[Urikslargda]

What about the dungeon finder? Is it still rewarding the same VP/JP as before?

[drakonblayde]

Whats hard to understand? JP stays the same. If you have 4000 JP than any remaining VP will convert to gold in the mailbox like all badges did when cata came out.

JP currency doesn't change or get removed because they're still obtained in the same way but with additional methods to acquire.

They addressed this before Cata came out. VP will convert to JP, if this puts you above the cap, it all converts, but you won't gain anymore until it falls below the cap again.

If you see a hunter using 2 weapons, they're doing it wrong.

Agreed - why bother with all that art if you can't even see them because they constrict your camera. Based on his size all you see is his legs in heroic mode.

Conquest will be turned into Honor @ 4.2 just as Valor and Justice.
Not to mention Conquest can't be turned into Valor anyway

[trollangaems]

Blizzard needs to be consistent with their ranged slot. Since their change, every relic user has enjoyed an easy to get stat stick with a socket, while clothies, warriors, and rogues need to either pray for a lucky drop or if available buy the wand/thrown from the vendor with stats equal to a relic MINUS the socket. At this point we're essentially missing out on 40 to 67 points in a primary stat.

No blizz the 1000 dps on wands doesn't make up for the lack of a socket.

[Tyranitar]

Nice how Blizz debates about not to change the loot system,
but is not even thinking of a simple, working alternative:
Don' let other class roles role on loot unless there are either no persons of the class role for that
item or all players of that role have rolled greed/disenchant/didn't roll at all.
That would be a fair solution, still allowing people to gear up.

But such a dynamic loot system would probably hard to implement and must be charged for by some sort of premium service, not, Blizzard?

[Nugs]

Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad

How is even bad? What is the difference between that and running 5men heroic/troll dung over and over?
WoTLK old tier contents are abandoned due to different currencies and item level inflation, while alts had to run trial of crusader 4 time per week, that is what I'd call a nightmare.

[Bysu]

It's kind of stupid that they keep doing this. EVERYBODY gets a relic/ranged slot from valor points! Except hunters.

Because that is your main weapon, while casters/melee don't use their wands/ranged items to do actual dps.

[DanielBrems]

Well, what about T12 gloves/legs/chest? Will they be buy-able from VP?

[jon-sub]

Nice fight.

What's this combat text plz?

[Bloodfire]

I don't get any idea. Why the price for the blue rares stays the same as now we could buy the epic 359?
What's the point?

"Old" rare/Justice Points gear is still for sale at the same price.
