As many suspected might have been the case, the recent resilience change seems to have made healing a little too strong in PvP. To continue the efforts of slowing down the pace of PvP in the final arena season of Wrath of the Lich KIng, Zarhym has made the following announcement:

Patch 3.3.2 is bringing about a change to the way healing functions in Arenas, Battlegrounds, and Wintergrasp. We have applied a debuff to all players in these zones which will decrease the effectiveness of all forms of healing by 10%. This includes heals from items such as Healthstones and potions, however, it will not affect defensive shields or auras. This change is being made to balance the effectiveness of healing against the recent buff we made to the damage reduction component provided by resilience. Rest assured that we will be closely monitoring the effects both the healing and resilience changes have on Battleground, Wintergrasp, and Arena PvP game play to ensure that fights last a reasonable amount of time without overtly skewing the effectiveness of any class, role, or team combination.

If there were any doubts left that today was the day of Patch 3.3.2's release, dismiss them now because the official patch notes have been released. These notes are more or less identical to the Korean patch notes that were posted last week, except without our less-than-desirable translation job. A few highlights:

-Season 8 has officially begun featuring all-new rewards!
-Vault of Archavon: Toravon, the latest boss to join the Vault's giants and masters of the elements, is now accepting challengers in 10- and 25-player formats.
-PvP: All healing abilities (including items such as potions) will be decreased in effectiveness by 10% when in Battlegrounds, Arenas, or Wintergrasp.

Dear Guildie’s

As you have might noticed we (the guild’s management) have led bleed the guild dry for some months now,attempts to setup an effective raiding guild has been failed due to the lack of devotion of some ppl,in the beginning everyone wanted to raid but when raids where organized many ppl diddnt showed up…but back to the main topic

We have deceided to follow a new path as an guild and the hardest part of choosing a new path or continue a path is that there are always ppl who don’t like the chosen path..

The previous path was that of an “Casual/Social/Raiding” guild and we kinda failed in the last part of that but got an A+ for the social/casual parts haha

The path we will follow from now on will be “Social/Leveling/PvP” at the moment there is no serious pvp guild on the Anachronos server and we wil like to take advantage of that gap and step into that area of gameplay..

Now before i further explain what were up to i like to add that we have contact with an raiding guild and that they have agreed to take ppl that want to raid under their wings.

At the moment were talking/negotiating for an guild alliance with the <Keepers of Peace> an nice and friendly well established raid guild..
more info about that will come very soon (hope in the start of next week)

Now please let me further explain what kind of guild swc is going to be:

As told above were going to be an Social/Leveling/Pvp guild so iam going to split my explaination up in three sub sections:

Social:

This wont change much,were still going to offer a place where ppl can play the game the way they want,without any pressure of planned raids wich ppl are forced to attent to,a place where they can lvl and have fun without being too serious all inside the borders of the guild’s rules of coarse,dont forget that lvl 1 Hogger raids belong to the social part of the game 2 and ofc guild meeting/party’s and costume contests (and yeah the nude barehanded goldshire duel’s 2)

Leveling:

Were going to offer an place in our guild to leveling players wich means that the minimum lvl cap of lvl 60 will dissapear so that low lvl/new players will have a place amongst our ranks to.

This does not mean that were going to be an “boost” guild,ppl still have to find their own groups for the various instances below lvl 80 but can group up with each other to ofc!

PvP:

This is where it all going to happen in our guild,where we will earn our place amongst the greatest on our server,there will be alot of events organized focussed on player versus player combat.

Some excamples are :

-Battleground Premades:

premades doesnt have to be made out off an full group we take for excample Alterac Valley.

If u make an group of 5 guildie’s and join AV you can really turn the tide of an battle,just capture and defend all towers and you have won the match and get the winner’s share in Honor!

-Formation of Arena Teams

were going to make several 2vs2 , 3vs3 and 5vs5 teams an join the glorious arena tournament!

This gives acces to the latest arena rewards and gear improvement our site will give suport ofc with the latest arena guides and team setups so that everyone can be a winner!getting good gear in pve issnt hard these days,getting good pvp gear is hard but all can achieve it if you work for it!the wellfare epics have shifted from pvp to pve!

-World PvP (major city raids,raids on horde settlements like warsong hold)

this is the part where the lower lvl guildies can signup for 2 if were going to make an raid to attack for excample ogrimmar the raid will be filled with guildies first!(and eventually guild only raids) we stick o a premade battle plan wich will be placed on our site ofc and do what we came for an kill the boss

-PvP based ranking System

Ranks are currently under construction but we are aiming for an pvp based rank system in the guild based on the pvp expierience/achievements the player has..perhaps were going to use the old PvP ranks as guild ranks but its sill under construction such are guild awards like medals u can earn after showing great bravery on the battlefield..more info soon!

-Raven Guard (an group of Hardcore pvpers)

for the highest lvl players (lvl 80 atm) there will be the Raven Guard.

This will be our own special forces(endgame world pvp)filled with the best pvper’s our guild has to offer and will operate in groups (no raids) of max 5 men to accomplish dangerous missions behind ememy lines to suport the guild’s main raid and do recon,attack,defend,kill missions but always in small groups using Guerillia/covert ops tactics!

-Twink Community (if there is need for it)

if there are multiple ppl crying out for an twink section in the guild this will be realized,i might even get meself a twink haha

were also going to organize alot of nice pvp related events like for excample an arena tournament for our own in the Stranglethorn arena!!

sooo stay tuned! more info comming soon (prob at monday)

Greetings and Salute The Guild's Management

Bornakk has just announced that the end of Season 6 will come as early as Wednesday August 26th. You'll want to be sure that if you're eligible for arena rewards that you don't transfer your character or generally screw with your arena team. Just relax and let the rewards happen.

After Season 6 ends, there will be one week of downtime where no rated matches can happen.

Season 7 will begin after this week of downtime, at which time all team and personal ratings will be wiped, along with your arena points. According to the announcement matchmaking ratings will remain (as well as honor points). None of this should come as too much of a surprise, as we've known about it all for a while.

This roughly places the start date for Season 7 at Wednesday September 2nd. However these things can change, so just pay attention to the news and watch out for the exact date.
