We are currently planning to end Arena Season 6 as early as August 25. At that point we will go through our normal process to determine who is eligible for the end-of-season rewards. This process should take approximately one week. It's very important for players who feel that they may be eligible for the arena-specific titles and/or Furious Gladiator’s Frostwyrm to refrain from transferring their character to another realm until after Arena Season 6 ends.

The following Arena Season will not begin for at least one week after the current season ends. During this time between seasons, all rated matches will be turned off and only skirmishes will be available. When Arena Season 7 begins, all team ratings, personal rating, and arena points will be wiped, but matchmaking rating and honor points will remain.

So question.

I need 2 more weeks to get both my shield and main hand. Not counting this week (since I already have the points) I'd technically get the last points I need for both items on the 25th.

Would I get to spend those points on an item in the time between Season 6 and Season 7, or am I going to have to buy something else with those points?

I would spend them the day Season 6 ends. You have one week till they are wiped. So...yes, you can buy your main ahnd and shield before the points are wiped and the new season starts. Because once the new S7 chit hits, you won't have those points.

You sure? They said that after the 25th, all rated games will be disabled until Season 7. And Glad would be rewarded at the end of S6, right?

I know crap about arenas. x_x

By this I mean:

I currently have 3000-something arena points. I need one week of points to afford the tier 2 weapon, and I need 2350 rating to get it, which I will undoubtedly achieve this week. I shall then get, on next tuesday, my tier 2 weapon.

In that following week, the last week of the season, I (and my teammates) will need to push our team into likely the 2450-2500 range if we want to achieve gladiator BY the end of the season.

Thus, 'push for glad'.

AH! I was still on Dio's problem. Completely didn't see the "I've".

Carry on.

I've tried to, numerous times, on my Dorf Paladin, but everyone is always in a team. : / I even went so far as tow buy 2s and 3s for some people who said they would do them with me, and they suddenly vanished off the face of the planet. : /

Edit: As for my warrior, I have NEVER been good at PVP with him. Ever. Tanking? Sure. PVP. Nope.

Alternatively, find the best PvPer you know, and repeatedly beg him to arena with you until he either gives in or ignores you. If he ignores you, find the 2nd best PvPer you know. Wash, rinse, repeat, get carried to Furious stuffs. ;-P

<3 you, Yat!

I'm new to pvp, so I just got into an arena team with a friend who has an alt that he doesn't really know how to pvp with yet. You could always do something like that. It's fun because we're learning together.

Hell, that means I only have two weeks to get my weapon and offhand, and I think I'm not going to have enough points for both -_-

If only I had a consistent threes team. Duelist in 2's and 5's.


So now that it's over. What'dya all gonna do with yer 2's teams(now that it equates to a lesser arena)?

Mine -> Either dual healer for the lulz or help out guildies gear/learn.

Actually just double checked, not sure we got duelist 5s, but 2s for sure.

My 2s team will be gone, dead, and never touched.

Though I'll probably go back on that and use it to help guildies.

I'm going to do 2s with my brother on Seneta and work on LoSing CCers and how to survive. I'll be able to take that into my 3s team where we all kinda suck which makes it the best team I've ever been on. =D
