Emblem conversion in 3.2
This is really kinda dumb imo. but I noticed this on patch notes, and thought I would throw it out here. Personally, all this new badge stuff is getting rediculous. And making all the old bages not even worth obtaining..etc..They should leave what they had in place, and just add new items to be obtained or something. Or maybe convert all the heroism and valor stuff to conquest badge gear and convert all old emblems to conquest. Emblem System Changes

Re: Emblem conversion in 3.2
This makes no sense at all to me. This makes it so players will be able to buy Naxx25/Uld10 level gear by running 5man Heroics. Possibly even better gear than that, with the new Emblems of Triumph coming from the H daily. It's kind of ridiculous getting a new kind of badge every patch, but this is not the way to go about consolidation. I just hope the Emblem of Triumph gear is actually worth buying. The Emblems of Conquest drop mostly in Uld25, yet the gear you can buy with them are at best a sidegrade from Naxx25/Uld10 gear. |

Re: Emblem conversion in 3.2
Tier gear is starting to get too easy to get... First VoA, now tier from heroics? Don't really understand this. I would get it if they combined heroism and valor, but to convert both to ulduar level badges? |

Re: Emblem conversion in 3.2
This makes perfect sense to us casuals who don't raid, or don't raid much. I'm almost to the point where I have nothing to get from Heroics. I like running them, but I don't get any gear from them. The current badge of heroism loot is not much, if any, of an upgrade. I'm glad they finally did this. I will say they are getting ridiculous... how many badges do they need? Just make "Badge of Heroism" or whatever, and do the rest with cost and reward. So, make 5 man heroics give a few badges, 10 mans give more, 25's more. Make multiple levels of gear available for different prices, so I can buy a Naxx 10 level piece, or save up and spend more badges on the Naxx 25 level version. Let me use badges to buy Ulduar level gear - just not ulduar hard-mode gear, and maybe not all pieces. And for those of you who are raiders who say "gear you haven't worked for", that's bull. Just because you ran Naxx 25 or Ulduar 10 raids a few times and got sweet loot, doesn't mean you "worked" harder than somebody who ran 40 Heroic 5 mans. If they do it right the time investment would be similar to get geared in Naxx 25 level gear, it's just that raiders get the gear faster in big time chunks, and those of us with more limited play time invest the same amount of time over a longer period in smaller chunks. This is a game right? There should be some rewards available for spending time in the game, even if you can't commit to raiding. I know some of you don't agree with that, but there are a lot more of us with casual time requirements than there are hard core raiders. Be prepared for Blizzard to keep us both happy, as well they should. I know some of you will cry when you see somebody all epiced out from doing heroics, but you can console yourself with the knowledge that it took them 6 months longer to do it, and you have already moved on to new content and another tier of gear by then.

What seems to be on the plate is a one for one drop - you get a conquest badge a boss from Heroic UK and a badge a drop from 10 man Ulduar. That shouldn't be the case... Either multiply the badge drops from Ulduar, massively increase the badges needed for gear (since you'll get more drops from raids per game hour than from instances), or don't do it at all. None of these sounds right. I prefer the idea of merging lower level badges as content progresses on. This feels like to big a jump. Also, 'casuals' - I myself raid once or twice a week only - aren't cut off at all from raiding. While 25 man Ulduar or Naxx might be time consuming or difficult to Pug into, VoA/OS type raids are every bit as accessible as 5 man content. |

Re: Emblem conversion in 3.2
I'm not all that crazy about this badge change myself. I would have like to see a couple of diffrent things like: - converting 5-10 hero badges to valor and so on - and if people were wanting to get gear for alts for raiding then make the badges BoA and then you could farm them with a main and then gear out an alt when your unable to get into naxx because your guild is focused on 'newer' content (sort of what I have now - druid alt that can tank anything up to 25 man naxx but no groups for 25 man naxx being run so I cant get my druid in to ulduar due to gear level) also many people wont go for hero or valor badge gear and just go for conquest because it is better, only thing I think people wouldnt go for is relics/totems/ect... because the gear is just plain better with higher badges (Also why convert a conquest badge to a hero badge when you can just collect conquest and get the better gear) sorry for the rambling and wall of text, did this at work between calls Last edited by tasmin; June 18, 2009 at 06:20 PM.. |

Re: Emblem conversion in 3.2
Seems to me that Blizzard did this because they didn't want too many level of badges in one expansion. It's kind of like in arena: Once better season-gear came out, the lesser gear can be more easily obtained. I personally agree with this change, so my alts will be able to gear up faster. It doesn't negatively impact players clearing Ulduar, because as previously stated, the Conquest gear is not as much as an improvement as other gear is. All in all, between this and other changes, I can't wait for 3.2!!!! |

Re: Emblem conversion in 3.2
its good to me makes the GAME a bit easier for most, and gives those fat lifeless slobs who live in front of their computer something to whine about. Quote:
