The vendor in Valdrakken does not have the S3 Honour Gear available for purchase.
I imagine a hotfix is on the way for this, but thought I would mention it anyway.
It is quite frustrating as it stops PVP Players from doing much of anything. I came back from S1 with 424 and I can’t even queue Solo Shuffle (min 434) despite having 2 pieces of Bloody Token Gear.
They only put back the S2 vendor and S3 tradeables. If they truly believed to be an error and that S3 honor should be available in pre-season they would just put that in.
Previous season they started with WPVP gear only and then enabled S2 gear one week later with CQ gear. I don’t think “previously” applies here.
If you think it should be available at patch launch day, please present a Blizzard quote where it states explicitely it will be because I cannot find such, it will help with checking this out further if a genuine mistake is made.
