I havent heard anything about this other than here on SK, anyone know how soon this will be into effect? I havent seen anyone talking about this so im wondering if its really true.

yes it is. When s4 will come out, u will be able to buy s2 for honor.

so it is good to start saving honor and arena points for next season. However, u can take with u just 75000 honor and 5000 arena points into next season. So if u have more, u can buy some gems for honor or whateevah, but if u dont have AP/Honor, u better start saving em now :)

Team ratings will probably be reseted but not arena points. If the arena points haven't been reseted before, why do it now?

i dont think youre looking at this right, if there isnt welfare arena gear, how do you expect new players/reroll people to do arena, majority of classes dont have a use for this gear outside of pvp... It only makes sense to me to have this honor bought gear available. now for us older players this sure isnt how the game was back in the day, but arena is a completely different aspect of the game than any pve. I welcome the welfare.

i think the reply was meant to post under

hooray for welfare gear!

this game is ruined.

I understand why you think the game is "ruined"

But can you think of a better way to keep people entertained?

Its a grinding game, if there aint new stuff to grind for whats the point? Everyone wants to be the best and whats a quick way to become better? Get better gear.
