In a pivotal update from WoW Classic, the dynamics of obtaining the sought-after Bloodstained Commendation are set to undergo significant changes. Josh Greenfield, the Senior Game Producer, has released essential information that players should act upon swiftly. This post aims to guide and prepare the WoW Classic community for these upcoming adjustments, ensuring that all players can navigate the changes smoothly and maintain their competitive edge in the game.
Starting from Tuesday, July 9, the option to purchase Bloodstained Commendation with Massacre Coins will be temporarily disabled. This change coincides with the release of the Season of Discovery patch, marking a new phase for players. Post-patch, these commendations will instead be bought using a newer form of currency. As detailed by Aggrend from WoW team, post-1.15.3 patch the new purchasing currency will be copper slaughter coins, and each commendation will cost 25 of these coins.
The upcoming patch is critical for players who have been accumulating Massacre Coins. With the imminent changes, it is advised to convert all existing Massacre Coins into Bloodstained Commendations before the deployment of the patch. According to the latest blue post by Blizzard, the window to make these purchases closes right before the patch goes live, varying slightly by region to either Tuesday or Wednesday.
Another significant update detailed for Phase 4 beginning Thursday of the same week, affects PvP rank progression. Players aspiring to ascend in rank must achieve at least 15 Honorable Kills against members of the opposing faction in standard PvP settings including World PvP and Battlegrounds. It's important to note that accumulating Honor through Bloodstained Commendations alone will not suffice for ranking up.
With the maximum PvP rank set to Rank 10 in Phase 4, players need to strategically plan their engagements to ensure they meet the necessary criteria. The requirement to actively engage in PvP rather than relying solely on alternative Honor sources emphasizes the competitive spirit and skill-based progression of WoW Classic.
As we move closer to the pivotal changes in WoW Classic, staying informed and prepared is paramount. These adjustments not only reflect the evolving landscape of the game but also call for a strategic pivot in how players engage with the game mechanics. For those heavily invested in PvP progression and the acquisition of Bloodstained Commendations, the window to act is now. Make sure to utilize your Massacre Coins wisely before the patch, and gear up for an intensified PvP experience in the upcoming season.
