Blizzard has addressed a few criticisms in World of Warcraft. PvP rewards are finally becoming relevant and helpful.
Just yesterday, we reported that World of Warcraft finally resolves one of its biggest frustration moments. But it doesn’t stop there. Blizzard also has meaningful changes in store for PvP players. The rewards that players receive from the weekly cap for Conquest points are also being revised. Here too, there should be less frustration due to meaningful adjustments.
How do the rewards for Conquest points work? In WoW, there is a weekly cap of 500 Conquest points. At the end of this cap, there is a pre-announced reward. This is usually a piece of armor for an equipment slot. The system is designed in such a way that you have to “gradually” work through all the weeks. So if, for example, you didn’t earn the pants in week 3, you have to catch up in week 4 before you can earn the “real” reward for week 4.
This way, latecomers can also earn a complete set by catching up through continuous play over several “weeks”. Conquest points have also been available from faction assaults for a while. Otherwise, you earn them through battlegrounds, PvP quests, and the drop from the PvP box in war mode.
What was the problem? However, this system also led to frustration. Because those who saw that they would receive pants as a reward in week 3, but already had better pants, had little motivation to collect the 500 Conquest points. In the following week, this player would then have to collect 1000 points to receive the next reward. As a result, more and more players lost interest in the system.
This is going to change: Blizzard has learned from the mistakes of the first season and now offers multiple rewards in some cases. Whenever the reward is not a weapon, trinket, or Azerite item, players will have two options to choose from.
In week 3, players can choose between pants and bracers, and in week 6 between gloves and a cloak.
These choices span all 25 weeks of season 2. This gives players a higher chance of actually obtaining an item that represents an upgrade.
In the case of Azerite items, at least you can still deconstruct them to obtain Titan Residuum.
