It seems to be more of a fix for US than the EU servers. They currently have rank 12 players running around that haven’t even reached 60 yet after only 2 resets. Multiple sub 60s running around with epic PvP mounts.
Not sure if the EU also had too much RP awarded, but I have yet to see anyone who’s rank 12 after Wednesday reset.
The whole ranking system & poor implementation has left me with a bad feeling about SOM. It really could kill the game early if it’s not sorted out. The whole idea behind SOM was to have harder raid content and be more challenging. Have people farm pre BIS & have an active dungeon & raid environment. The implementation of being able to achieve the rank 10 + 13 sets within 3-5 weeks completely destroys the whole concept of having more challenging content & a thriving lvl 60 community. Currently you get to lvl 50+ and farm AV, because the time investment & rewards are so great in comparison to doing any kind of pve content. If you start at 50 you’ll most likely have your full blue PvP set & epic mount provided you played some BGs whilst lvling when you hit 60. I’m currently almost rank 6 at 42 and will probably be 8 next reset. Few more weeks lvling & doing AV I’ll easily be rank 11 before I hit 60. It’s just dumb & they should really put some kind of restrictions on this before it kills the game & implement the gear at a later stage. People still gonna PvP for rep gear & you could allow ranking to continue, but just restrict being able to use that gear until at least mid BWL patch .
It’s actually hilarious that when TBCC came out a lot of people just didn’t PvP because they messed up the honor & arena system so badly that most people either quit or just didn’t bother because the entry barrier to arena was like grinding rank 14 all over again. Now with SOM it’s exactly the opposite & getting PVP gear is like taking candy from a baby, which in turn will make the first 6 months of PVE content trivial & almost pointless. It will also completely destroy the dungeon group scene, so good luck to any rogues who want that OP t2 dungeon set.
guessing you havent been into the new mc, its certainly more challenging, and even with r14 gear, it will be significantly harder than entering classic mc with fresh 60 gear. furthermore, for lots of classes, only the weapons are rly good, the sets, even the epic versions, are simply not as good as what you can get from dungeons.
Well that’s debatable because we don’t really know it was never tested on the beta & apparently in the US people have pretty much facerolled MC after stacking people with rank 10+ geared players. For some classes the sets might not be the best, but for others it’s BIS /part BIS until AQ/Naxx & a damn sight better than what they can hope to achieve in a few weeks doing dungeons & wiping in MC with greens & blues. The weapons are pretty much godly for the big pumper DPSers out there.
I haven’t been in MC, so I’m going off what I’m reading on the US forums.
well i have been in mc, its definitly not faceroll. also i think you are talking out of your a**, seeing as so far, not a single NA guild has cleared mc.
People still have rank 11 mounts and rank 12 items after rollback. and some people jumped from 5 > 11 > 8 or 6 > 12 > 9 so they got more ranks than they had before and some ppl didnt change at all. i have same rank as i had on reset.
i never said mc wasn’t cleared, i said it wasn’t cleared on NA servers. Also that guild was quite litteraly the best guild on classic, and they still wiped 6 times. Compare that to the world first mc run on classic that were done with far worse gear and lower lvl players and did not wipe once.
vanilla.warcraftlogs(.)com/zone/rankings/2000#metric=progress&partition=3
only 3 guilds cleared mc last reset, 2 eu and 1 china.
Also regarding ranking gear, doubt it, because evry single one of those runs were done before the wedneday honor reset, and its that reset that introduced the rank bugs. americans also like talking out of their a**, i were you i wouldn’t listen to them.
Feel free to go & call him out on the US forums then if you think he’s talking crap. I mean players will jump on the first exploit they can & it’s entirely possible that it did happen.
Regardless if it did or didn’t my veiw is that it’s not good for the game to have that kinda gear so early. They messed it up so badly it’s beyond belief. It has massive implications because people genuinely thought that was their awarded rank & basically sold all their gear and stuff to purchase the PvP gear. It’s gonna be a hard one to fix that’s for sure.
While a great many players’ Ranks have been corrected, we continue to work through the fixes for every Season of Mastery realm in every region. We expect that work to take several more hours to complete. We’re currently scheduling realm restarts for some realms tomorrow to help speed up the process.
Please note that any gold refunds for high rank gear that is removed will come later. It may take several days for all refunds to be processed.
Are there any plans to remove the unjustified gear from people? Right now on Sunday evening there are multiple rank 9 and rank 10 people wearing rank 12 items on Dreadnaught.
Do you have any idea, at Blizzard, what kind of impact these items have over the basic stuff available from dungeons?
Not only are they broken towards the opposite faction, they also make the gap to lower ranked friendly players so wide it’s unfixable this reset. Just imagine walking around with +50% primary stats and HP. This is a joke!
why after relog my honor reset i did today 900 kills or so and had 90k honor and when i log out and log in my whole honor and honorable kills are gone
first week i did 100+ kills but i am still rank 0
is it any problem with pvp rank system?
