I'm wiriting this post because we just had a change in the chest we can obtain on the server blackrock.
The first chest are at 1500 arena rating and the last one at 1850....
There aren't only good players on Blackrock and on top of that at the beginning of the season the MMR is reset, so beinng able to go to 1850 rating the first week or even after 3-4 weeks is a really difficult task... We almost can't play reroll because no possibility to get the chests neither...
I had fun playing many character and now i can only play my main if i want reach 1850 fast enough to not be too late on the equipment compare to the good players who gonna have the best loot before the less good ones.
Without even talking to the players who never reached 1850, means those won't ever have the opportunity to get the loot of last bosses...
I think the new system is good, Honnor and chest with daily quests is a good system, but 1850 rating for last boss is a little too high.
I would suggest the next think :
first 1400
Mid 1500
Last 1600
With this you give the opportunity to everyone to get the last Bosses.
A lot of players like to try to new character and new classes, putting the rating for last boss at 1600 would allow reroll to get the chests after few weeks and so don't block so many players to even play the game.
Thank you for your understanding and i hope we can find a compromise for less good players to enjoy and have fun in the game.
Hey ! Indeed the new system definitely sucks. Clearing BT+Hyjal takes about 2-3 hours max. for us to farm K honor it takes way more time + now we need the rating which means we can no longer have it on our rerolls. PLEASE ! bring back as it was at the introduction of the or lower the rating like Shagha said !
Hello!
I agree with what you're saying.
Plus, it's even more punishing for casual players.
I heard that Onyxia players had raids nerfed.
For a casual player, it's easier to do a 3-hour raid in pick-up mode 1x per week than to have to chain arenas to hope to obtain the same loot.
I think the quest changes are really good. It allows everyone to get raid rewards, both casual and hard-core.
Increasing the honor cost would also be detrimental to casual players.
Why not add another quest for these loot items, like the 5wins in P2?
Black Temple and Hyjal are easy when you're in a coordinated and geared group. There is absolutely a threshold that you have to reach before it becomes easy.
So it makes sense that PvP players on Blackrock would also need to meet a high skill and gear threshold to obtain that loot. 1850 sounds very reasonable.
And for those of you who keep making arguments about PvP quests taking longer than raids, PvE gameplay requires preparation outside of the raids. Our consumables and resistance gear we didn't buy from an honor vendor. We didn't get instant professions. We didn't just hit a queue button and magically have 25 people prepared knowing exactly what to do.
You complain it will take too long, but keep in mind you don't have to worry about loot priority. A rogue on Blackrock doesn't have to worry about a roster spot. And they can scoop up any BIS loot uncontested. No waiting line. Items that the best Onyxia players may never obtain even if they did drop. Congrats on your CVoS.
