Season 6

[sepu]

Now that Arena Season 6 is on the horizon, we wanted to share some details regarding upcoming changes to the arena rating system in Arena Season 6. With Arena Season 6, arena teams will start at 0 rating instead of 1500, which will allow teams to have more continuous progression throughout the arena season. In addition, we reevaluated item purchases and felt many of them were too difficult to obtain so we will be altering the rating requirements needed to purchase the latest arena items. For example, items with a rating requirement will now be obtainable starting at 1250 rating.

As with the current system, the matchmaking system will attempt to match teams against opponents who are closest to their average matchmaking rating. Starting with Arena Season 6, a team’s average matchmaking rating will be shown in the scoreboard at the end of each match so that you can see where your team stands compared to the opposing team you just faced. All arena teams that are below a 1500 arena rating will always earn arena points as a 1500 rated team. This will allow teams to continue to build up arena points while working on gaining the ratings needed to purchase items.

Please note that a more specific start date for Arena Season 6 will be provided as soon as it is determined.

Here is a list of some PvP items that will be available in Arena Season 6 and their expected rating requirements:

1250+: Deadly Relics/Idols/Librams/Totems
1300+: Deadly Gloves
1350+: Deadly Legs

As previously announced, we are working on implementing Cross-Language Battlegroups (CLBG) to increase the size of most Battlegroups. You can find the original announcement here: http://forums.wow-europe.com/thread.htm ... 6425923570

The CLBG is currently open for testing on the PTRs, allowing players from the different PTRs to meet each other in the Battlegrounds and Arenas. This weekend we will be doing some focused testing of the Battlegrounds, and we will appreciate if you participate during this time:

On Saturday 28th of March, focused Battleground testing will take place between 18:00 and 20:00 CET
On Sunday 29th of March, focused Battleground testing will take place between 16:00 and 20:00 CEST (remember to adjust the clock!)

We will be thankful for your feedback about any bugs and issues encountered during the focused testing, and we will be especially interested in hearing if players from another PTR join a Battleground on the same side as you.

Please keep this thread to test reports, and take general discussion of the feature in this other thread: http://forums.wow-europe.com/thread.htm ... 8136835748

war der net aufn arenaturnier-realm?

[sepu]

hm stimmt leider wobei da die anforderung auch witzlos ist da die 200 games fürs qualifying ja pflicht waren.

[Zhampo]

Muss man irgendwas bezahlen oder so um sch da anzumelden? Evtl. überleg ich mir das ja noch :>

[sepu]

naja das fnktioniert so nicht ohne weiteres musst glaub 20 öcken zahlen allerdings kannst dir dann auf nem tournament realm einen vorgefertigten char erstellen. also bringt dir das wohl im endeffekt nichts.

[Minyatur Laurelin]

jo, das Pet kostet 20 Eur, deshalb hab ichs auch ned gemacht

Wennst die aber bezahlst, dann sind die Spiele selbst kein Problem (musst ja nur 200 Spiele machen, ned gewinnen) und bekommst dafür das accountgebundene pet auf alle deine chars dieses Accounts (so wie den Blizzard Jahrestags Bären)

Gib glaub ich sogar nen eigenen http://www.warcraftpets.com channel am Tournamentrealm

EDIT: aber jetzt ist wär es eh schon zu spät

Phase 3 of the 2009 Arena Tournament will be ending next Monday, April 6, at 9:00 p.m. PDT.

Participants must also remain on their team for the duration of the tournament to ensure prize eligibility.
