Downtime Tuesday Episode 10, WoW Token Live in Americas Today, Changes to Conquest Catch-Up

geposted 07.04.2015 um 11:01 von perculia

WoW Tokens provides a more fluid way for players to obtain subscription time and gold. Players have the option to obtain subscription time via the AH for gold, or make some extra gold by purchasing tokens for money and selling them on the AH.

The gold price for these tokens on the AH starts at and is not set by players--it is set via an internal algorithm. It will automatically increase and decrease based on supply and demand. You cannot choose what price you want to list the token for or the duration of the auction. All tokens for sale in a region will be sold for the same price at a particular moment.

Extra gold is obtained by purchasing WoW-Marke via the in-game shop for cash ($20 USD/$25 AUD) and then selling it on the WoW Token Auction House.

30 days of subscription time is acquired with gold by visiting the "Game Time" section on the AH. It was announced that lapsed accounts with enough gold can reactivate accounts via the "Reactivate via Gold" option on the character select screen, but this is not live.

WoW Tokens are part of a special region-wide Auction House. Everything else for sale on the AH is server-wide. This means that anyone on a US server can purchase your WoW Token if you list it from a US realm.

WoW-Marke (silver background) is the item that can be sold on the AH. This is different from WoW-Marke (gold background) which is the item that grants you game time. This is handy as you can't accidentally click on WoW-Marke and use the item on yourself!

Changes to Conquest Catch-Up Cap

Lore

As of this week’s reset, we’ve made a change to how the Conquest catch-up cap is calculated that should result in a 50% increase to the catch-up portion of the cap. We’re making this change because, while we still want there to be an incentive to play early and often, the amount of Conquest that a player could earn via that catch-up cap didn’t feel like enough once the PvP season had been active for a while.

To elaborate, the formula used to calculate a player’s catch-up cap is now:
<Number of weeks passed in the season> × 1500 - <Total amount of Conquest earned this season>

That number is then added to the weekly total cap of 1700. Note that, as of this post, Warlords Season 1 has been active for 18 weeks, which means the maximum possible catch-up cap for a player that has not earned any Conquest points this season is 28,700 Conquest.

Kommentar von ProjectSixamI can only imagine how much the prices'll ramp up with the opening rush, because I've got an inkling this business is gonna be a-boomin' for a little while.

Hopefully I can nab one of the 30~k ones to kick my sub back into gear and work towards recouping my spent gold, because I'm sure it'll give me a reason to level alts to start working on generating more gold >_<Kommentar von racvets1For "science", I googled the going rate for Wow gold, it seems to be 30k for $20. Granted that is a couple weeks after the price was released, but still...

I'm curious to see how much the price moves, wonder if their price "magically" moves when other services move.

I do like this change though. Free to play WoW!Kommentar von FoxpawFor "science", I googled the going rate for Wow gold, it seems to be 30k for $20. Granted that is a couple weeks after the price was released, but still...

I know all about moving...it takes me months to get everything situated because I am literally worn out after all that lifting.

Waiting for the WoW Tokens to launch. I will be primarily using them to obtain gold in the game. My account is paid up for a very long time.

I will be watching, although not live, when you debut on Wowhead Weekly.Kommentar von Zemithwith the joke patch notes, they went too far... making a joke about wash dying wth blizz T_____________TKommentar von darksalotI just logged in, their is no option to reactivate account with gold.Kommentar von CptnRadicalWhat does Panser's shirt say?Kommentar von isveinI read "cake is a" so most likely the whole text is "The cake is a lie"
And the top part looks like a portal.Kommentar von perculiaI have modified the post, the Venturebeat interview talked about lapsed accounts but it appears that part is not live yet.Kommentar von darniil@darksalot
I just logged in, their is no option to reactivate account with gold.Kommentar von NytemareRulezThis is a complete rip off, why pay 30K for one month when you can just do like you been and pay 15K per month, and do it that way? Sure this means you not have your gold stolen, but extra 15K for peace of mind not worth it.Kommentar von DaltonImperialI just logged in, their is no option to reactivate account with gold.http://www.wowhead.com/news=246971/wow-token-live-april-7th-april-6th-hotfixes-guide-to-obtaining-and-selling-the-wKommentar von ExcelionWas surprised to see that the token was only listed for 30,603 (or so); I expected a quicker rise in price.Kommentar von PanserchuWhat does Panser's shirt say?Kommentar von RinkotsuI can't purchase from the character select screen even though I have 300k gold across the server. My monk has 38k according to DataStore and I still can't purchase from character select. I can't log in to purchase it because I don't have a sub!

Edit: Apparently, if you are getting the "not enough gold" message but you have enough gold, it's actually because there aren't any tokens currently up on the auction house. Source: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/16952255179

Edit 2: Keep trying. As soon as one is up, you can buy it. I think you have to close completely out of your client and reload it in order to refresh the token counts. http://i.imgur.com/1E3U9Wi.jpgKommentar von thelaksThe token is live for inactive accounts, it's just buggy. See the support forums.

I have been trying to get one since servers came be up, but simply can't.

What I've personally seen:

The "resubscribe" dialog often doesn't include the button to buy a token. You have to logout/login or switch realms, and sometimes it'll appear

The Buy a token for x gold button is disabled if there are no tokens available

The Buy a token for x gold button is disabled and you get a message saying "not enough gold". This is also because there are no tokens available

If you can click the button (I could twice at 10am) you enter a race for an available token, and likely get an error saying it failed. However, your gold is still deducted (shown in armory page)

That gold is supposed to be refunded at some point, but CS are unclear if it is sent by mail to a char - which is silly if you don't have a sub - or returned by to all chars

Kommentar von TristaMeioh167The April Fools' patch notes were hilarious. I agree with Panser that some of that stuff would be awesome if implemented for real.

Savage Feasts now stack. Literally. Make forts and stuff.Kommentar von PumpkinFeast"Gold remaining: 2 million 413k"
wow, haha

Most I ever had was like, 50k now I barely have 25.
*casualplayerproblems*
WoW Token seems cool but it just isn't for players like me.Kommentar von zanatorixI'll miss olivia.... but good grief i love panser....Kommentar von RockwellHWoW Token price seem to dropping very fast 30k to start with, as of about 20 mins ago on my server price is around 22k. I'm thinking price is going to settle between 20k to 15k could be wrong so we will wait and see.
