Arena Season 9 endet am 21.6 – Kommt Patch 4.2 am 29.6?

Blizzard hat das offizielle Ende der aktuellen Arena Season 9 bekannt gegeben. Die Frage aller Fragen lautet: Fällt der Patch 4.2 Release genau auf das End-Datum der Arena Season 9, oder kommt Patch 4.2 eine Woche später? In der Vergangenheit war es zumindest so, dass erst die Arena Season beendet wurde, dann der Patch veröffentlicht wurde und dann eine Woche später die neue Arena Season startete. In diesem Falle würde das bedeuten: Arena Season 10 startet am 6.7.

Wie dem auch sei, lange ist es nicht mehr hin, bis der Feuerlande-Progress endlich Fahrt aufnimmt. 21.6 oder 29.6, beides ist überschaubar.

Arena and Rated Battleground Season 9 is scheduled to end as early as June 21. At that point we will determine who is eligible for the end-of-season rewards, a process that should take approximately one week. It’s very important for players who feel that they may be eligible for Arena titles and/or the Vicious Gladiator’s Twilight Drake to refrain from transferring their characters to another realm or faction until after Season 9 ends. During the break between seasons, all Rated Battleground and Arena matches will be unavailable.

At the end of the season, Conquest Points will be converted to Honor Points, possibly exceeding the 4,000 point Honor cap. All Season 9 items will cost Honor Points (equivalent to their previous Conquest Point cost) when the season ends, with the exception of any items with rating requirements attached. These items will no longer be available for purchase.

The next Arena and Rated Battleground season will begin for level-85 players approximately one week after the end of Season 9 and will coincide with the awarding of Season 9 titles and mounts. At that time, any Honor accrued above the 4,000-point cap will be converted into gold at a rate of 35 silver per point. In addition, Season 10 rewards will be made available for purchase with Conquest Points awarded during the new season. All Team and Personal Ratings will be wiped when Season 10 begins. Matchmaking Ratings, however, will carry over into Season 10.
