Patch 3.2.0 -Call of the Crusade- Call to Arms - Epic Gem Vendor
Intro
Since we're running on a 3.3.5 client with disabled features because the content is gradually released,some irritating issues have been around for too long.
Latests news have revealed that Warmane is preparing to release 3.2.0 content,also known as "Call of the Crusade" and a high number of players wonder if those issues caused by the missing content will go away.
It has been a long time since the Call to Arms weekends have been screwed because one battleground,Isle of Conquest was missing and so the whole correlation between the calendar and the actual event was broken.
I'm not going to talk about how Warmane customized the honor rates for lower brackets or that The Battle for Arathi Basin quest is bugged,you can check it our for yourself,but the issue I presented you above should be gone after 3.2.0 will be implemented.
Another issue with Call to Arms is the period,Warmane shorten it without any explanation.
"Battleground holidays occur during all weekends, starting on Thursday night at Midnight and continuing until early Tuesday morning. During a holiday, emissaries from the featured battleground are found in the major cities, and honor & faction rewards for performing objectives in that battleground are increased. "
It is pretty clear,"starting on Thursday night at Midnight and continuing until early Tuesday morning" not late Friday to Sunday like it works right now.
Will the new content bring order for Call to Arms as it should be?
As you can see,the epic gems were introduced in 3.2.0 and with them a vendor that was selling them for 10 000 honor points.
Until now,that vendor was not available and the expected question is if the epic gems will be sold by that vendor for 10k honor each ?
Question #3
Right after the launch of this realm,the staff decided to cut the experience from battlegrounds,so the players would lose interest and turn their attention to questing,like robots.
Right now,battlegrounds award a very little amount of experience,but I'm sure that they are aware of this problem and that they have modified the formula.
However,3.2.0 is the patch in which battlegrounds started to give experience and the obvious thing to do is return to the normal formula and abandon the custom one.
Is Warmane going to "fix" the honor rates and the amount of experience the battlegrounds will award,especially for the lower brackets?
Here's the official statement:
"Battleground experience has arrived!
Players will now be awarded experience for completing objectives and actions that yield honor in Battlegrounds (honorable kills not included)."
Thank you for reading this topic and feel free to post any other questions about 3.2.0 content ! :)
Warmane announced that Trial of Champions and Trial of the Crusaders will be released on 21th September,and until then Isle of Conquest and other PvP vendors will be added.
However,I am very curious if the Call to Arms will match the calendar,especially now after Isle of Conquest has been introduced.
Another important question is if the duration of Call to Arms will be adjusted and we will have the 4 full days(Friday,Saturday,Sunday,Monday) of bonus Honor Points,instead of 2 and a half(late Friday and the weekend),like it is right now.
It's pretty disappointing to see that no staff member provides any information regarding this important aspect of the game.
