World of Warcraft: Season 4 Arena Start Date
June 12th, 2008 | by Shintar |Arena Season 4 is finally coming. Blizzard announced that Arena Season 3 will end and Arena Season 4 will begin on June 24, 2008 (25th for Europe). The next arena set will receive the Brutal prefix.
Additionally, Arena Season 2 items will now be able to be purchase with honor points. Arena Season 3 item requirements will be reduced by 50 points, 1950 for the shoulders and 1800 for the weapon.
Of course, the new Arena Season 4 will also bring new additional changes to the arena system. The new Arena Season 4 items will have higher personal and team arena rating requirements:
Shoulders: 2200 (ouchie)
Weapon: 2050
Head: 1700
Chest: 1600
Legs: 1550
New this season will be the addition of personal and team arena rating requirement for Arena Season 4 honor items:
Boots: 1700
Ring: 1650
Bracers: 1575
Now players have to work for welfare gear as many raiders have complained in the past about PvP items being too easy to obtain while they spend weeks to months getting the same quality items.
Some of the new rules, mainly there to stop team selling and trading, implemented in Arena Season 4 will be:
- If a character’s personal rating is more than 150 points below the team rating, they will earn points based on their personal rating instead of the team rating.
- If the average personal rating of the players queuing for a game is more than 150 points below the team’s rating, the team will be queued against an opponent matching or similar to the average personal rating.
