In an effort to better balance the amount of players that are in Wintergrasp at any given time, we are changing the daily quests in Wintergrasp to a weekly format. This will result in an increase in the honor reward given by these quests as well as additional Stone Keeper's Shards. These quests will reset every Tuesday morning at 3:00 AM.

There are two known issues that may occur once these changes are pushed to live realms:

  • The quest mark will now show as gold, even though the quests are repeatable.
  • After the quests reset, players near the NPC quest givers may need to move out of line of sight in order for the quests to properly appear.

I'm simply curious, but how does this balance the numbers? The imbalance of population on realms will still be there and the exact same.

And if anything, this will only increase the lag since more people are likely to come.

I do like more honor, though, so good change :).

Wait, what? Weekly Quests instead of Daily Quests now?

How will the quests be changed? No Mercy requiring like, 50 kills? Defend the Siege requiring 10 vehicles saved? Whats going on?! =o

I think the idea is to not have every player in WG every day. If I only need to head to WG once a week for weeklies, I probably won't show up every day. (unless I really need marks). This will hopefully cut down the 5-20 seconds delay on casting that's so prevalent in a busy WG. (extreme lag)

So basically Tuesday will be a nightmare, and the rest of the week a ghost town?

Awesome.

I do not like this change at all. If you're trying to get honor over the course of a week, huge daily quests can become problematic if you are capped with honor. Smaller, daily quest rewards make it far more manageable.

This doesn't seem like a good solution at all.

This really seems to punish the lower pop realms who aren't having so many wintergrasp problems, by making the incentive for peopel to come every day a LOT lower.

I love Wintergrasp, because almost every day has a good number of people to play. It's one of the FEW benefits of being on a low pop server :\.

Now I fear you're just front loading the week, and making less incentive to have people there every day. That's just all around less fun. For everyone.

Ha, I completely missed the weekly part. That would explain my confusion.

Whatever happened to the recent tenacity buff that was in the live patch notes but never went live?

Apparently, the rumors about me are true!

I can't honestly say whether I think this will work or not. I suppose I'll have to head to Wintergrasp and see what it's like once these changes are implemented.

However, I think at this point I'll accept any change that promises fewer latency issues in Wintergrasp.

The quests reset at 3:00 AM on Tuesday. Everyone and their mother will be trying to get the quests done on Monday night. The rest of the time it will be empty.

How about a massive tenacity buff to make it almost semi-useful? :P

This is a good first step to removing what is probably the stupidest and most poorly implemented addition to this game. Keep up the good work!
