Valor to Justice Points Conversion in 4.2

Is any change being made to the gear acquired from the Justice Point vendor? I would assume since Firelands has been moved to 4.2, that the Justice and Valor Points gear will remain unchanged.

This thread is going interesting places... but Zarhym posted a relevant response in the big sticky post:
http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/2179759307?page=9#172Soulstone as a Combat Resurrection

Our plan is still to let Soulstones be used on dead targets, effectively giving warlocks a combat resurrection as well. Unlike the death knight one, which was a relatively straight forward change, the warlock one requires new code. We still plan on making this change for 4.1, but we will keep you updated.

Having lots of unique and powerful abilities is not always compatible with having 10-player raids. We don’t think the smaller raid needs every possible buff or defensive ability to be successful, but we were convinced that the combat rez made groups without a druid at a significant disadvantage. It’s often subjective as to what constitutes mandatory raid tools. In our minds, combat rez has become one.

An End(?) to Graveyard Camping in WSG

We have an update on this topic for you :-)

The days of graveyard camping in Warsong Gulch may be coming to an end soon, thanks to some new plans we have in store for the battleground in patch 4.1:

We are moving the graveyards to their own terrain level, preventing camping by members of the opposing team.

However, this will also serve another purpose; players will no longer be able to respawn and run straight back into their flag room. They will either have to drop down then run up the tunnel, or go around the top of the base. This adds around 20 seconds to the journey from the graveyard to the flag room.

On Preventing Spam Through Chat Limitations

Why has Blizzard not disabled the ability for Level 1 characters to access Trade Chat?

The official contest rules are coming soon, but we want you to start thinking about video ideas. Stay tuned for further details!

Thoughts on the State of DK Tanking

Are you content with the power contained by DS? Right now, that ability accounts for our block and a portion of our armor. Is the design goal of blood to use DS over anything else?

Are you content with the timing constraints on a DK? Premature DS can mean a significant block loss, does the fact that DKs are using a mod to try to guess their shields match your goals? Do you feel that Blood has to pay an overly large amount of attention to their resources to maintain their mitigation?Are you content with the punishment for errors in the DK rotation? DKs that mis-spend a F/U rune are out a descent amount of mitigation. Do you envision mistakes costing DKs that much?Applying diseases presents a clear danger when you do it by taking runes away from Death Strike, are you content with DKs actively striving not to put up diseases or striving to time them when there is a 0 second grace period?Are you satisfied with the healing done by DKs? As it stands, DK overhealing increases with boss damage. DKs on hard modes are healing for about the same as DKs just starting in raids, is that satisfactory? Do you think this healing design will scale correctly into future tiers?Are you content with the current clarity of DK design? Many Death Knights are literally playing the class incorrectly and have to use outside sources to learn how to get their mitigation up to par with other tanks.Are you satisfied with the signature strike (Heart Strike) being on such a low use priority?Are you content that DKs are willing to dump 5 talent points for lichborne? Are you content knowing that there is very little to do with the remaining 10 talent points after a DK finishes their talent tree?Are you content with RE and other quirky mechanics that DKs are working with? DKs are able to game RE procs by sitting on their blood runes, forcing additional FU runes for Death Strikes. This goes against the design of Blade Barrier, but more importantly is still more powerful.Above all, are you content with the current DK QoL? DKs have been moaning and groaning about a number of things. Many are trivial. Many just want to be heard. Many don't understand what they should be doing. Does the DK tank class feel polished and smooth to you?If people are trying for 100% shield uptime, youll always feel like you're lacking. In the end, healers are expected to heal something. If they think you need to be at 100% all the time, then they force you into overhealing. If a healer lets you dip down 25%, they would see you're doing a good deal of healing yourself.We're not being forced to choose between threat and survivability. I really don't know of many DK's having threat problems right now (Rune Strike is kinda insane...). What we're being forced to do is choose between surviving the next blow and reducing the bosses damage output for the next x seconds.Good feedback does indeed effect change. The cause and effect can be hard to see, but it happens.On that note, I'm curious: what kind of trade-offs do you guys find interesting when you're selecting talents in the Blood tree? If you had the opportunity to alter or devise talents that appeal to different styles of play, without being mandatory to both (and without cherry-picking talents from other tanking trees, since tanking styles differ so greatly) where would you start?

Комментарий от InterestNoooo. I like camping graveyards.Комментарий от EldenteUsually people who are questing do not get to capital cities until levels 7 to 10...so banning all level 1-5 characters from trade seems all right.Комментарий от 422399This post was from a user who has deleted their account.Комментарий от RainemardYay Soulstone brez!

People are really starting to throw the word "Homogenization" around quite liberally lately... and tbh i've already been using SS during fights (Heroics obv, not raids) where you wouldn't expect anyone to die so SS wasn't used beforehand, but something goes wrong (lag, melee standing in front w/out capped expertise, etc..) and the tank suddenly bites it... hello last-minute SS for the healer!Комментарий от 447675This post was from a user who has deleted their account.Комментарий от MondayLiking the combat rez.Комментарий от MaelynnTL;DR: putting a level cap on being able to use public channels will only force goldspammers to flood starting areas with bots, making legitimate players who are trying to play the game normally endure a botting nightmare. The solution to spammers must take into account all players who are in different phases of this game -- people at the very start of their WoW experience included.Комментарий от tialaramexBLIZZARD - PLEASE GIVE US SOMETHING TO DO WITH OUR DAMM JUSTICE POINTS
I have used them to fully gear up both spec and off spec on my main. 4000 just sit there in my bank. Few incentives to do content with my slightly behind guildees excpet those 70 VP and my interest in a month of grinding for 1 2100 VP piece is pretty limited (I do have a life)
Solution - give us a way to exchange for Honor.Комментарий от atomicwolf22TL;DR: putting a level cap on being able to use public channels will only force goldspammers to flood starting areas with bots, making legitimate players who are trying to play the game normally endure a botting nightmare.

Kind regards,
