500-1,000 Tender for Pre-Purchasing New WoW Expansion: Reveal at BlizzCon?

Recommended Posts

Sn-mka-obrazovky-2023-08-25-o-11-25-35.j

The latest Patch 10.1.7 build includes Trader's Tender rewards for players who pre-purchase the upcoming WoW expansion that will most likely be revealed at BlizzCon 2023.

We have 3 hidden achievements tied to the different game versions Base/Heroic/Epic.

If you buy the Base version of the game, you will get 500 Tender. If you buy the Heroic version you will receive 750 Tender, and for the Epic Edition you'll get up to 1,000 Tender.

We believe Blizzard will unveil the latest expansion and open pre-orders at BlizzCon 2023 on November 3.

I have no problem with this. I don't even see a problem with them selling tender in the shop. It is all cosmetic stuff and you can earn the tender in game.

I mean they give you plenty of tender throughout the month to earn in game. It could be like Diablo 4 shop where all the awesome armor and weapon skins are in a in game shop for a game you paid full price for. Hell it still 100 times better than Elder Scrolls Online store, where you got to do months worth of currency saving in game to buy just 1 or 2 things from their shady *filtered* game store.

We already got Tenders for buying Dragonflight

It should be ok for ppl buy next expac to get their Tender 

if not it is a little boost for ppl to get more cosmetics from trading post

If they want to monetize cosmetics, but also let them to be reasonable obtainable (as it is now) in game then I am totally fine with it. It's peoples choice what they do with the money. And let's be honest... How many of you actually bought any transmog and was like "Im gonna use it all the time it is so cool!". Not many. Let's be honest.

this is so horrible

knew the monetization of this thing was coming and it's still horrible to watch

Sorry, but this is trying to see problems where there are none. When news arrives that Tender becomes (much) harder to obtain or only able to buy it with real money you have clear way to complain. But in this case it's just something extra that you get for free for pre-purchasing the expansion.

Heck, there's even more reason to complain every past expansion where you got an exclusive mount that you couldn't obtain ingame or in any other way, unlike the Tender. So did you complain about every pre-purchase bonus so far?

I can absolutely complain. The tender was supposed to be a cool way to get stuff in game by doing stuff in game.

Now it's just another monetization scheme. A battle pass if you will. If you don't buy the things you don't get the tenders. As time progresses (Which we've already watched this move from a neat addition to a loot box type scam in a remarkably short amount of time as I'm sure you've observed) it'll get even worse and go further down the loot box rabbit hole.

I thought Baldur's Gate 3 woke people up to this nonsense. Apparently it didn't wake everyone up.

Just so I understand this.

1. You would've preferred the next xpac to launch with exclusives for Heroic and Epic versions like before? Items that wouldn't come back and that was not obtainable for free? 

2. How is this a "loot box rabbit hole", you know exactly what you get, and you decide what you spend the currency on. There's no RNG, no risk of getting duplicates, no scummy practices at all. Hell, you even can't accidentally buy a duplicate in the trading post.

3. You can still get cool stuff in the game by doing stuff in the game? 

4. Even if you don't get heroic or epic edition you can still get the exact same items by just playing the game? 

5. It's in blizzard's best interest to keep outputting cool stuff in the trading post to encourage people to play and get some bundles with tender. Meaning we'll continue to get new cool stuff on a monthly basis for just playing the game. And this is a bad thing? 

Baldur's Gate 3 is a single player game vs a live service multiplayer game. You cannot compare the two 1 to 1. 

Lastly, I believe all of the ongoing changes will be towards making WoW free to play or part of game pass. No need to charge a subscription and gatekeep people from testing the game if random cosmetics is paying for the game.

They already sell cosmetics, pets, toys and mounts through other venues, this isn't anything new nor a new nor a surprise. Your cynicism will be earned when actual when actual game altering content shows up. Till then you were either naive in not knowing this was the path or you're feigning outrage over something we all new and expected.

This is nothing but a blatant lie. You're completely ignoring the fact that you can earn plenty of Tender through ingame means and without any need to buy something from the shop. Why build a whole opinion on something you know isn't true?

Whats is the difference in giving a small amount of currency used to purchase cosmetic items and/or just giving them away with the prepurchase.. I dont think the world is going to end because you get 500-1000 coints to spend.. A little over dramatic dont you think?

I don't mind monetization for cosmetics. They have to pay for the game and it does not increase player power. You could also look at it like: You could farm a cosmetic for four hours in game (some take much longer) or buy it for twenty dollars. What is worth more to you: four hours or twenty dollars? This way players that have to work a lot (and may not have time) still have a chance to have cool cosmetics. Not everyone is in the same situation, different things appeal to different types of players.

      We have another triple entry in the hotfix ledger, as Radiant Echoes gets more improvements in retail, while Season of Discovery and Cata Classic get additional class changes.
       August 7  (Source)
      Player-characters
      Steady Flight should no longer be removed after entering an Arena. Quests
      We tuned up the Prototype Shredder MK-03 so that “Eye for an Eye” can be completed. Radiant Echoes Event
      Increased Flightstone and upgrade Crest drop rates in the event. Reduced the HP scaling on all event bosses so that they should be killable in a more-reasonable timeframe. Developers’ notes: This includes both ‘minibosses’ (e.g. Hogger, Thorim) and final bosses (e.g. Remembered Onyxia, Ragnaros). Season of Discovery
      Hunter Heart of the Lion once again has a 100 yard range. Warrior The Focused Rage rune will now correctly reduce the cost of Meathook by 3. Cataclysm Classic
      Fixed an issue where Faerie Fire did not deal intended amounts of threat when used on NPCs targeting another unit.

      Due to a bug introduced with the War Within pre-patch, some players are receiving item level 250 gear from the weekly cache.
      We've seen numerous reports on Reddit and the official forums that the Last Hurrah weekly quest on live servers drop low-level gear for some players. Apparently, the bug was first introduced with the War Within pre-patch two weeks ago and still hasn't been fixed.
      Here's an example of a low item level drop from the Cache of Awakened Treasures by Omnifox.

      Week 2 brings quite a few changes, as Hunters in particular rise up, while Shadow has a really bad time. The top 3 remains the same and very consistent, so let's jump in and see what's going on.
      Warcraft Logs Points
      The below logs are based on POINTS, and not actual damage or healing, meaning they log the timed completion for the specs, with higher keys getting more points, obviously. The time in which the dungeon is completed is also a factor, but a much, much smaller one, as it grants very few points if you do it significantly faster than just any in-time completion. We're also using the Normalized Aggregate Scores numbers, for clarity, meaning the top spec is marked as 100 and then the rest are ranked in relation to that peak point.
      All Keys
      95th percentile DPS
      The top 3 remains quite stable with the Evoker-Paladin-Warrior trio reigning supreme. We see the first change of the week right after that though, as Frost DK continues its upward march in dungeons as well as in raids, taking 4th from Elemental. Both DKs are on the rise, as Unholy also moves a spot up, taking advantage of Shadow's precipitous 5-spot fall to the bottom of the top 10. Arms remains stable as two Hunters burst in, Beast Mastery taking 8th and Marksmanship 9th, as Frost Mage disappears down towards the bottom. Speaking of the bottom, Devastation gets some new roommates there, as Outlaw and Destruction fall and give Enhancement and Feral a break.

      Mythic+ All Keys 95th Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles
      As with the top percentiles, the top 3 remains solid, but 4th is immediately changed, thanks to Shadow's massive drop in performance this week. The Priest loses even more ground here, falling 9 spots into 13th, opening 4th up for Arms. Beast Mastery moves even higher here, grabbing 5th and moving in front of Elemental and Frost DK, as Marksmanship brings up the rear and completes the Hunter sandwich in 8th. Affliction breaks into the top 10, just ahead of Unholy which dropped to the final spot.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Raw DPS U.GG DPS Rankings
      U.gg's rankings are based on actual DPS taken from Warcraft Logs data, focusing on the top players and span the past two weeks.
      Frost DK finds itself on top in the raw DPS rankings, as Augmentation isn't calculated properly here. Fury and Arms grab the next two spots, moving ahead of Ret, and the Fyr'alath wins continue in 5th, where Unholy finished the legendary axe streak. Even Survival joins the Hunter good times in 8th, where all three specs gather, just ahead of Balance who closes out the top 10.
      Mythic+ All Keystone DPS rankings by u.gg.
       
       
      For even more in-depth data for each individual key head on over to Warcraft Logs. And if you're interested in more info on the specs themselves you can always check out our class guides (updated for the pre-patch), as well as our Mythic+ guides and Mythic+ tier list.

      MoP Remix characters that will transfer over to retail will receive a gear boost!
      With Patch 11.0.2 now live on Public Test Realms, you can copy over MoP Remix characters from retail! It appears all MoP Remix characters will receive a character boost so you can dive straight into action when the War Within expansion launches.

      We can't unfortunately log in to the game with the MoP Remix char on the PTR so we can't confirm the Item Level of gear for max level characters. However, keep in mind that the gear boost will scale with your level, so if you're below max cap, you will receive gear appropriate to your current level.
      When Can We Expect MoP Remix Characters to Transfer to Retail?
      MoP Remix ends on August 19, so we assume the characters will need to be transferred to retail by August 22 when Early Access begins.
