We will never be satisfied

woops

good Lord, all the way back to page 15?

Your rating changes each game based off win/lose and the difference in your rating compared to your opponent. Your -RANK- is what your rating is compared to others in your battlegroup.

Q u o t e:



Heres the only thing i could wish for.

I like you a lot Candle, you are very supportive and helpfull as are all the CM's. I just wish that with the magnitude of such an event like the arena. There would have been just a little more information to how the rankings and ratings match up. Right now i have heard just about every skeptical theory imaginable for the arena.

Oh and BTW, please mention to the devs that disconects before doors open should result in a draw for both sides. I understand the implementation of deep penalty for losing when your rating is high. But to lose HUGE amounts of rating for a disconect is just brutal.


If the discon occurs DURING the fight i dont think it should effect the overal outcome. But those doors SHOULD NOT OPEN UNLESS BOTH TEAMS HAVE 100% OF THEIR PLAYERS.

please and thank you

I couldn't agree more with this post. It's very frushtrating to have someone disconnect when zoning into the arena, and having to start a match down a player, especially when losing you are taking a huge rating hit.

Also, an update to the rankings issue would be greatly appreciated.

Q u o t e:


So when I lose to people on other realms it doesn't affect my rating, and thus the points based on the rating that allow me to buy items.

O wait it does, you're just another CM without a clue.

And this man wins most intelligent text in these forums today...
How the hell do those doors even open?
Disconnects will happen, welcome to the internetzor

When you disconnect from a bg, you load back into the BG. Not back to town, in front of the arena master while your team is inside. Try again!

I'm sorry, but you are incorrect. When you get disconnected when zoning into an Arena, you do NOT join the game when you reconnect. You are standing back where you queued from, in front of the Battlemaster. In fact, you are dropped from the group intirely. I know this because it happened to my team at least 4 times the other night, with me being one of the disconnects. Everytime we had to fight 4 on 5, even though the disconnected person reconnected immediately.

Q u o t e:
I just wanted to follow-up quickly to clear up that it is in fact based on Battlegroup. The information I had previously was that it would be based on realms but that has since changed and it will be based on your entire Battlegroup. Make sure you sharpen up those skills everyone! We want to see the best of the best rise to the top and good luck !

I KNEW IT!

btw rumor has it on the priest forum there is a incoming nerf to PoM, somthing about a 20 sec CD. Any truth to this? I would like to know so i can roll a Pally.

P.S. Sorry if I derail thread.

Thanks!

Also, do you know what the max rating difference you could be queued up for?

They're epic, not legendary, but the top 0.5% of teams for each bracket will receive the swift (armored) nether drake, as well as a special title, at the end of the season. Depending on how many teams are competing multiple teams in each bracket could receive the end-of-season rewards.

The arenas will use cross-realm functionality to match teams, however ranking will only be based on each realm. You'll be playing against teams on other realms, but your ultimate ranking is against other teams on your realm. The ranked teams won't take into account faction. It's the top .5% of each bracket separately, meaning top .5% of the 5v5 bracket, top .5% of the 3v3 bracket, and top .5% of the 2v2 bracket.

Well say there's 400 2v2 teams (completely hypothetical) on a realm, 2 teams will receive the end of season rewards (.5% of 400 = 2). It really depends on the realm and how full each bracket is. There's of course likely to be more 2v2 teams than 5v5. If I had to guess I wouldn't imagine it going too far past a couple teams of each bracket, and more often than not probably one team. It remains to be seen though.

Please clarify this.

Please clarify. We are particularly interested in the armored netherdrake award.

Yes, the Nether Drake mounts are what I really would like clarification on, please.

Wake up Nethaera, wtf.
