I see you are enjoying ganking people
Hold on - 2100 is now 226, equivalent to Mythic raid loot?
Yea that is the best change related to these, because Duelist players are generally equal to Glads skillwise just less experienced ones, equalizing gear will help them to climb more easily if they really deserve it.
Hopefully I’ll snipe a weapon in raid since it’s gonna take some time before you can buy it for conquest.
(do the math)
There’s some ~33 pieces of gear. 3 options a week and no (or a very poorly implemented) “bad luck protection” system.
Nah, I wouldn’t call it very likely that I’ll get the right 8 out of the 16 pieces that are correctly itemized in 8-10 weeks, especially if I start buying items with Conquest (reducing the number of valid pieces from the initial 16 to 8 or 9 eventually with your proposed weeks).
With my napkin math I came to the conclusion that a fairly large portion of the PvP community will randomly be getting absolutely shafted.
getting upgrades from 3 item choices is quite reliable even if you already filled most of the slots (do the math).
“Quite reliable”
Haha, nah.
There are going to be lots of people out there without full Conquest gear until w14-15, and it’ll be even worse if we consider those who’ll have completely messed up off-stats (then we’re talking w18-19).
I think the only real solution would be to add a boost to all PVP gear in PVP scenarios, similarly to WoD. Eg, boost honor gear in battlegrounds / arenas to 220, boost conquest gear to 226. I guess we will have to wait until season 2 to see anything like that though.
This.
But Honor gear should be boosted to 226 ilvl in PvP and Conquest gear should be boosted to 236 ilvl in PvP.
The maximum upgradeable non-PvP ilvl of Conquest gear (Duelist) should just be 210 as to not overshadow PvE gearing in any way.
Yea, maybe untill Cata? Right now def not, in this super quick meta , if you don’t have gear you don’t have anything, at least with most classes
Haha yeahh… I was also reading and tought… Ahhhhj this one of those buggers who utterly Destroyed wow…
Went from work you’re a%& off to get a decent item and dream off the OP ones all the way to, freeshinypurplelegendaryspewpewiwantmoreQQ…
Wat a utterly joke u turnt this game in to.
does anyone know if tokens that were used to upgrade items are gone in SL?
You upgrade the gear at an npc standing next to the vendors. It costs honor or conquest, iirc.
Duelist players are generally equal to Glads skillwise just less experienced ones
Uh, what? How are they equal then?
not really. you can get very high geared by doing keys and raid (weekly vault) and mythic raid. So nah not forced to do pvp.
Uh, what? How are they equal then?
Having good skills and reflexes doesn’t equate to not making mistakes. Skill and minimum mistakes is what you need to reach Glad, Duelists are good mechanically they just play with less IQ, including me.
I didn’t say they completely equal, you just misinterpret it.
ROFL AT THIS GATING.
10 WEEKS FOR A SINGLE WEAPON IN PVP
UnSUBBED FOR 6 MONTHS, CARE TO PLAY GATED GRIND FIESTA
- If you earn no Conquest during week 1, you will then be able to earn 1100 Conquest during week 2.
- If you earn 400 Conquest during week 1, you will then be able to earn 700 Conquest during week 2.
This is moronic.
A player that gets some cp will gain less than one that doesnt.
Blizz like fail.
But Honor gear should be boosted to 226 ilvl in PvP and Conquest gear should be boosted to 236 ilvl in PvP.
The maximum upgradeable non-PvP ilvl of Conquest gear (Duelist) should just be 210 as to not overshadow PvE gearing in any way.
Agree completely.
They reduced the cost of weapons. But yes… the 550 cp /week cap still sucks.
We’ve seen several questions recently about how PvP progression will look over the next few weeks, and we have answers.
First and foremost, Honor is the new currency that was introduced with the Shadowlands Pre-patch. Players can earn Honor from honorable kills, Battlegrounds, Epic Battlegrounds, skirmishes, Arenas, and Rated Battlegrounds. Honor can be spent to purchase gear from Purveryor Zo’kuul in Oribos. This gear can be upgraded by Agressor Zo’dash for Honor. The upper limit of this kind of upgrade is determined by your Renown level, and players can hold a maximum of 15000 Honor.
Conquest is an additional PvP currency. Players can earn Conquest from Battlegrounds, Epic Battlegrounds, Arenas, and Rated Battlegrounds. Players can spend Conquest to purchase gear from Zo’sorg in Oribos. This gear can be upgraded by Agressor Zo’dash for Honor. The upper limit of this upgrade is determined by your current highest rating bracket in Arenas or Rated Battlegrounds:
Rating item-level Unranked 200 Combatant 207 Challenger 213 Rival 220 Duelist 226 There is a cap on how much Conquest can be earned during a season. This cap increases by 550 each week. This means that during week 1, the cap is 550. During week 2, the cap is 1100.
- If you earn 550 Conquest during week 1, you will then be able to earn 550 Conquest during week 2.
- If you earn no Conquest during week 1, you will then be able to earn 1100 Conquest during week 2.
- If you earn 400 Conquest during week 1, you will then be able to earn 700 Conquest during week 2.
Finally, you should not have to wait for Conduit upgrades. Conduits appear at higher rank on the vendor automatically when your rating increases.
Please fix group finder. Elite quests in BFA LEGION unqueuable with the eye group finder tool. How do you expect a lvl 50 to solo the Voldun dinosaur boss? Or elite wqs?

Whats does the current highest rating mean? This season, this week, or this moment?
I would appreciate the clarification.
Thank you.
Whats does the current highest rating mean? This season, this week, or this moment?
Likely highest achieved during the season else people will have an incentive to avoid playing (out of fear of losing rating and thus losing ilvls allowed for upgrades).

Doubt it. It most likely means the highest rating you have currently in any bracket (2s, 3s, RBG).

Then you have an incentive to climb and stop. They have been fighting this before.
Haha you didnt even understand what I said.
Gear being locked behind rating is a huge improvement than it being locked behind a mythic raid.
Anyways, even though I understand your frustration, I do not share it.
Skill should also reward power.
