The phase 3 Bloodstained Commendation

They quadrupled in price from 25 copper to 1 silver while still providing the same amount of honor. Is this intended? Rank 5 to rank 6 and neutral to exalted with AB is now a similar amount of coins.

Blood Moon isn’t giving much more honor than a battleground now which seems odd for an event that’s limited to once every 3 hours.

It’s an actual insult given that they made it seem that there would be better commendations. By the time people have farmed the tens of thousands of honor needed to get up to rank 7 the gear will likely not be worth getting anymore.

At least I was not the only one spit in the face for not getting the stv honor tokens in time.
This is actually nuts…

Wtf :joy:
I was defending SoD until the last bit… but phase 3 is the absolute biggest fiasko I’ve ever seen. Every single design choice is a mess

Yeah it’s ridiculous - it was slightly too easy perhaps before especially for mages etc…

However I think doubling the price to 50 would be appropriate, but as usual a stupid knee jerk.

I really wonder what kind of idiots they have hired, probably someone who “studied computer design” at college but has never played a games growing up. Devs why not just listen to gamers? Esp long term subscribers - simple concept in business 1) give the market what it wants.

Why? Think other than this it’s great!

Incursions are cool af, and they actually put time and effort on it.
They even made new assets!

Why ya’ll being so toxic?

Saying bad content is bad = toxic
If you enjoy incursions then good on you, but a large portion of players don’t like doing mind numbing repeat quest slop content that has people running around like bots because it’s the most efficient thing to do. And incursions are far from the only issue with this phase. A ton of runes are bugged or under/overtuned, some are a serious pain to get, the ways to get them are copy pasted for several classes and have nothing to do with their class fantasy. The honor grind has been gutted as well thanks to the nerf to the tokens, meanwhile you need like 110k honor total to get from rank 5 to 7. Again, it’s nice that some people are enjoying the new content, but that doesn’t mean people who see the massive flaws with it should stay quiet.

Nooo!!! Are you telling me that mindlessly spamming AOE for 30 minutes is no longer the best way to get honor!!!??? Outrageous! Join a BG lad, the queues are long.

I’m not trying to insult or bait you here - why don’t you just go and play actual PvP for honor? Blood Moon isn’t PvP.

Form a group for WSG or AB - you can still get a decent rate of honor there - or wait until next phase and spam AV (which is basically a PvE mount race) if you prefer. There’s numerous ways to obtain honor and you’re no longer held hostage to those in the upper ranks - you can get it at any time.

That last line was not directed at you, just the people below my original comment.

Don’t know in what world calling devs idiots and saying p3 is bad without explaining why is constructive.

You know that’s not everyone right? I’m tired of people taking the worst examples to try and dismiss every single opinion that isn’t being positive about the content.

I’m sorry that I offended you.
To be clear, I came here in agreement with the topic, and I wanted to complain.

I’m not dissmissing the issues people are having. I just stated my opinion, and asked why they think what they think. It’s not constructive or helpful just saying “this bad”.

Also, calling people idiots is just plain toxic and not helpful at all.
Please stop assuming things about me. Thanks.

My problem is not playing battlegrounds, I love doing that!
Loved every minute of the WSG to exalted fest. :slight_smile:

The problem I think is, lots of people got fast tracked because they figured this out. Now lots of people are left in the dirt, especially when a bunch of pre-raid bis are from the new pvp sets.

I fully intend to just BG and do STV when I can to make it up. It just feel very unfair and dissapointing that we had the carrot and they took it away from us because we did not bite quick enough. While those who did have a big advantage over us.

I don’t think the solution is to make it like it was, and I really hope they prevent this happening in p4, but what they did now was just plain disrespectul. Fomo sucks. :frowning:

Also I really hope they change AV! Such a cool concept that have fallen completely.

How so? You didn’t say anything offensive.

That’s true, but plenty of people have gone into detail why they think something is bad, while others can’t be asked and just want to say “this bad”, which everyone knows isn’t constructive, but I don’t think those people care either way about being constructive.

Uh what? What’s this referring to?

On Living Flame Ashenvale incursions are now unplayable for Alliance.

Now why am I bringing this up? Because Horde have long bg queues but want rank 7 and have no other avenue for honor than to camp the ramp and slaughter any alliance who try to quest.

An unfortunate consequence of quadrupling the commendation price.

Horde having a harder time getting BGs is nothing new. Besides, this is normal on pvp servers and would still happen. You form a militia from general and strike back, the wonders of pvp servers!

Doubling would be appropriate - was too easy before.

In an alliance grp right now doing the same. I see what you mean but remember, it works both ways!

Aah this is ridiculous. They did many things wrong in P3 this is not one of them, in fact, if I were to correct something, I would COMPLETELY REMOVE HONOR COMMENDATIONS, why are they even here? If you want honor, if you want reputation with a BG faction, you go play the damned battleground. The fact that we’re all just getting speedrushes to max PvP Rank, Max Reputation Status, Max this Max that in a matter of days is laughable. What they can do is increase honor and reputation gains from battleground as they probaply should have already back in Phase 1. But this is Blizzard we’re talking about, “skip this, skip that, skip this, skip that, now go play retail instead” :smiley:
SoD has only proven how bad of a company and its devs in reality are.
