byebye honor reset

Honor reset, cya!
blizz har ombestemt seg om honor reset enda en gang
We had hoped that the introduction of some new Honor rewards in the upcoming patch would give players a great opportunity to spend any of their remaining Honor. However, many players would still be surprised by an Honor and token reset as it isn’t something we’ve done in the past. As such, we've decided to not reset Honor or tokens upon the release of Wrath of the Lich King. Players who save their Honor will be able to spend it on level 80 rewards, although those rewards will be significantly more expensive than their level 70 counterparts.

Season 4slutt + 3.0 dato
blir da 15ende for oss på europe siden de har maintainance tirsdagen.
We’re currently planning to end the fourth Arena season on October 14, 2008, and as always -- this date could easily change. This Arena Season is only ending in respect to the ladder, meaning we'll be taking a snapshot of the season's ladder and then go through our normal process to determine who is eligible for the end-of-season rewards. This process should take approximately one week. It's very important for players who feel that they may be eligible for the arena-specific title and/or Armored Nether Drake to refrain from transferring their character to another realm between the date outlined above, and when the end-of-season rewards are physically awarded.

Upon the end of this Arena Season, teams and ratings will not be wiped, and will carry forward allowing players to earn points each week and purchase gear until the launch of the expansion (November 13, 2008).

nei arena points kommer neppe til og bli reseta :P det er en enten eller sak, enten alt, eller ingeting =)

men man vet jo aldri, ville bare vært helt idiotisk om de reseta honor og ikke arena points, men for og skaffe seg arena gear på lvl 80 arena vil det nok kanskje koste mye mer slik som med vanlig pvp rewards. samt det vil nok også være mye vansgeligere og få den ratinga som trengs for det av lvl 80 arena gear som er når fokl starter og hite lvl 80 :P

[thecruzader]

blizz har tidligere sagt arena points blir reset med hver season starter fra nå av, som vil si at når arena åpner i lich king med nye season byebye points.

så den posten til blizz der endrer jo ikke noe, de starter ikke ny sesong derfor ikke reset, bare noterer seg hvordan laddern er da og lar i praksis den sesongen kjøre til lich king i forhold til items etc, så blir det reset når en ny starter.

i forhold til pris tviler jeg på de endrer så mye på arena prisene, de trenger jo ikke øke de slik som honor siden den prisen blir økt grunnet du får mer honor points, arena systemet fortsettet jo slik det er så samme inntjening.
