Honor Point Increase and PvP Reward Changes for Burning Crusade Classic Coming Tomorrow
Blizzard has announced some reward changes for PvP in Burning Crusade Classic coming tomorrow. This includes adding additional Battleground marks and Bonus Honor from the Daily Call to Arms quest.
This is a topic that we have been closely following along and discussing internally. For some transparency, we want to be extra careful when adjusting significant systems such as rewards in Burning Crusade Classic.We strive for authentic recreations as the best approach with our design as substituting our own judgements has great potential to harm the spirit of the original game. For example, we risk negatively impacting the perceived value of these items or affecting other areas of the game by changing the rate of power progression.That said, we hear your frustrations with the current rate of PvP reward acquisition and think there are ample reasons to justify a #change. When we compare PvE and its rewards, there’s a stark contrast with the level of effort and time investment required.
Players are better now, all the best raid strategies have been figured out, and those rewards are much more accessible!We attempted to address this in Season 2 by introducing PvP faction items early (a change introduced with Sunwell’s release) and reducing the costs of previous season gear by half, but we don’t think those changes were nearly enough.The following changes are planned to release with tomorrow’s Phase 3 content unlock:PvP faction items now have an Honored reputation requirement (from Revered). The battleground mark costs for Season 1 gear have been removed. The battleground mark costs on Vindicator items have been reduced by half.
