Arena Title Issue * Updated 9/14
9/14- Characters who transferred during the week between title awards and re-awards will be receiving their corrected titles during the next regularly scheduled maintenance.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


9/4- After looking into the reports of inactive teams/team members receiving titles, we have found an error in the character transfer process that was not removing these teams from eligibility. During the next regularly scheduled maintenance we will be correcting team data and adjusting titles as well as rewarding drakes to anyone whose title has been properly corrected to Gladiator.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

During the process of awarding the titles for Arena Season 6, we encountered an issue where characters who earned the titles in previous seasons, but did not earn them in season 6, received them again along with the corresponding achievements. We have found the cause of this and will be removing the unearned titles and achievements during the next regularly scheduled maintenance.

Re: Arena Title Issue

Q u o t e:
Neth,

Can you ask them to re-do the calculations as I'm positive there are errors in the calculations, such as Inactive teams taking up the top spots, but also teams that are not supposed to have gotten gladiator this season (that got it from the issue) taking up spots.


We'll check into it.

Re: Arena Title Issue

Q u o t e:
Nethaera, quick question. Is the development being put into this game for PvP comparable to PvE in terms of equality? I notice that there is a non-stop influx of PvE content each patch, but rarely does PvP receive any major changes in comparison. We don't have enough PvP content and diversity, we don't have balance, and we also lack plain quality in comparison to PvE. I've felt down because I know it's true that PvE is the core of the game, and I don't believe it will change in the future.

I know it's not related to this thread, I just wanted to ask. It just seems like all the developers mainly raid, and view PvP as a "side-dish."


More about this was discussed in the Systems panel from BlizzCon I believe. ( http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=19377972716&sid=1 ) We have plans for battlegrounds and PvP in general to where there is more opportunity to take part in it in a way we believe people will enjoy more. We'll share more information on this as we get closer to the expansion. We've been working to find ways to even things out where we can so that there is opportunity enough for everyone to get the gear they need as well to continue to stay competitive.

Re: Arena Title Issue

Q u o t e:
So neth, any word? are you guys going to re-do or look at glad calculations or whats the deal with that.


I've sent word along and will return if I get additional information for you. This all may very well be tied in to the correction that will go in with the next regularly scheduled maintenance. I'll do what I can to let you know if that's the case or not and we'll continue keeping an eye out for any other discrepancy claims.

Re: Arena Title Issue

Q u o t e:
Hi Neth,

is it safe to transfer characters who have received such arena titles? If I recall people in S4 lost their titles after they transferred and had to wait a long time to get them back because apparently Blizzard redistributed them and didn't check into transferred characters.


I would wait until after the maintenance just to be sure. We're working to further identify the issue and looking into any need for further corrections on this. Once I have a go ahead with additional information, I'll share it with you.

Re: Arena Title Issue * Updated 9/4

Q u o t e:
So if I actually earned Rival title at 80 during S5 do I get to keep the achievement?(I understand I am losing the title b/c I didn't earn it this season).


You should not lose the Achievement.
