A Blizzard bejelentette az Arena Season 8 végét, ami október 12-én lesz Amerikában, azaz nálunk egy nappal később, október 13-án . Ez a dátum azért nagyon fontos, mert ezen napon kell megjelennie a 4.0.1-es patch-nek is. A Season 9 a Cataclysm megjelenése után körülbelül egy héttel kezdődik. A két szezon között csak skirmish meccseket lehet játszani.
We are currently planning to end Arena Season 8 as early as October 12. 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 the Relentless Gladiator’s Frostwyrm to refrain from transferring their character to another realm until after Arena Season 8 ends.
The next Arena Season will begin for level-85 players approximately one week after the official launch of World of Warcraft: Cataclysm. During the break between seasons, all rated matches will be turned off and only skirmishes will be available. All Team Ratings, Personal Rating, and Arena Points will be wiped when Arena Season 9 begins, but Matchmaking Rating and Honor Points converted to the new currency system will remain.
A Season 9-hez kapcsolódik a hír , mely szerint most már azt is lehet tesztelni a béta szervereken.
Arena Season 9 is now running and available for testing in the Cataclysm beta.
To help facilitate testing we’d like to ask that those interested in providing bug reports and feedback focus on playing arena games, but also participating in the rated battlegrounds. Please let us know if you find any issues or have any feedback. Thanks.
