News Roundup: Valor Points, Professions in MoP, Player Feedback
In today's news roundup, Bashiok has been busy on the forums these past few days, covering professions, player feedback, and gearing up with
Tapferkeitspunkte
:
In Patch 5.3, item upgrades are returning at a reduced cost (0
Tapferkeitspunkte
instead of 0
Tapferkeitspunkte
) and several Shado-Pan Assault rewards are being moved down from Revered to a lower reputation requirement.
Gerechtigkeitspunkte
are sidelined for now, and making players rely so much on
Tapferkeitspunkte
at the start of the expansion was an oversight.
In response to players asking about in-game surveys to provide feedback, Bashiok explained that Blizzard already amasses an exhaustive amount of player data, from talents players pick to what dailies are the most popular. Of course, forum feedback is also useful as it provides insights into player choices.
There were also a few interesting content tidbits:
Black Temple was mean to be in the game at Burning Crusade's launch.
While most of Patch 5.3 was planned out a while ago, Battlefield: Barrens was only planned in 5.2.
Players gave lots of feedback on missing Heroic Dungeons at one point, so Heroic Scenarios are a nod to those players.

Site Updates: Reputation Guides, Reagents Breakdown, Transmog Filters
With the constant talk about the 5.3 PTR, we wanted to take a break and let you know about some of the new things going on at Wowhead! We've updated all of our Mists of Pandaria reputation guides, added a number of helpful filters to transmog sets, and implemented a reagents breakdown on profession pages.
Updated Reputation Guides
With a slight lull in PTRs, we've gone ahead and updated another batch of our Mists of Pandaria guides this week, after we updated all

World Event: Battlefield Barrens Preview
Blizzard recently posted a blog covering an exciting new world event coming in 5.3, Battlefield Barrens--the conflict between the Alliance and Horde heat up as Garrosh's Kor'kron forces continue to exert their radical control in Orgrimmar and the Northern Barrens.
Over the past month, we've covered this exciting world event extensively. Click the links below to read our past articles! (We'll also be compiling and updating our coverage into a massive guide when 5.3 hits.)
Garrosh's influence can be seen in
the Valley of Spirits being shut down

Horde digsite in the Vale of Eternal Blossoms

To unlock this world event, you'll need to do several

WoW Down to 8.3 Million Subscribers
Today at 4:30 p.m. EST, Activision Blizzard’s management hosted a conference call and Webcast to discuss the company’s results for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 and management’s outlook for the remainder of the calendar year.
In today's press release and call, it states that WoW is down to 8.3 million subscribers, down 1.3 million from the
last Activision Blizzard earnings call
, in which it was revealed that World of Warcraft lost its initial burst of subscribers from Mists of Pandaria and came down to 9.6 million.
During the conference call, they revealed subscribers declined most in the East and expect further volatility since it's the middle of an expansion. Blizzard is looking into ways to make the process of returning to WoW smoother for players as a response to the declining subscriptions.
Quarter 1 was also busy for Blizzard--they announced Diablo III coming to consoles, Hearthstone was revealed at PAX East, and Heart of the Swarm launched in March.

Updated 5.3 PTR Patch Notes, Build 16924 Spell Changes
The 5.3 PTR Patch Notes were
just updated
. Of particular interest:
Find Weaknesses now only bypasses 50% of armor when used against other players, and 100% of armor against non-player targets. Before, it was 70% for both.
All bosses in Mogu’shan Vaults, Heart of Fear, and Terrace of the Endless Spring now have a chance to drop either a Sigil of Power or Sigil of Wisdom.
Justice Heirloom vendors now sell heirloom shields--
Verwitterter Schild des Beobachters
,
Versengter drakonischer Deflektor
Multiple Tiny Carp pets can be on a team, and they can also be traded.
Several dungeons have had their level requirements lowered and there is now normal-mode difficulty for Gate of the Setting Sun (which requires level 89).
Along with the updated 5.3 Patch Notes, there was a small new PTR build.

Mists of Pandaria Mahjong Set, Quest for Epic Boots in 5.3
Path of the Last Emperor
In 5.3, players who have completed the

step in the Barrens can head back to Pandaria, learn about the continent more with an old scholar, and get rewarded with some ilvl 502 boots!
Der alte Seher
: Locate Seer Hao Pham Roo on the slopes of Mount Neverest in Kun-Lai Summit.
Hellscream is using Pandaria's secrets to wage war against the world - and even his own people. Is this really what the last pandaren emperor had in mind when he cloaked the continent in mists? And why did the mists suddenly disappear? I must have answers! In my travels, I met an old scholar, an expert on the last emperor. Please, seek out Seer Hao Pham Roo. Last we spoke, he was planning to retrace the emperor's steps by scaling Mount Neverest... but he was far too old to attempt such a climb.

5.3 Profession Changes
The 5.3 PTR doesn't have nearly as many changes for professions as Patch 5.2 did, but there's some changes to gathering professions as well as the fishing carps!
Herbalists and miners with low skill can still interact with Pandaria nodes. Instead of getting an herb or ore though, they'll simply get fragments. The number of fragments will increase based on their skill level.

Burning Seeds: Fire Kitty Disguise Added in Patch 5.2
During the Patch 5.2 PTR, players noticed that
Brennende Saat
had been datamined, which would allow players to "harness the essence of Fire granted to the Druids of the Flame." The buff given,
Brennende Essenz
, explicitly stated that players turn into a Druid of the Flame while in Cat Form. This sounded exactly like the fire kitty effect granted by
Fandrals Flammensichel
, except you didn't need to farm up the staff. What was the catch?
Well, nobody knew how to get them, which has led to a heated discussion if this item ever made it to live servers. Earlier today, Community Manager Crithto
made a post
that
Brennende Saat
s were in fact available in game, but

Children's Week 2013 Guide (April 29 - May 6)
Kinderwoche
is a week in which we brave a challenge greater than any undead monstrosity and a task more daunting than saving the world. We must become parents for all those orphans throughout Azeroth and make sure they are happy. We can't tank a child's fears, we can't heal its memories of pain, nor can we DPS the sorrow out of them. So equip your toys, make a mage conjure a candy table, fill your quiver with joy, load your gun with something colorful, and venture into the World of Parenting!
Children's Week
begins on
April 29th
at
11:00 AM
and ends on
May 6th
at
11:00 AM
(PDT).
Due to the advent of Cataclysm,
Children's Week
was changed in 2011 to have two new pets and redone locations for the initial tier of quests. There's nothing new in 2013, but since all vanity pets are now battle pets, you might be more interested in collecting pets this year! Since battle pets are also account-wide, you can collect different sets of pets on your alts to round out your collection faster.

Live WoW Developer Q&A Transcript
Blizzard's Live WoW Developer Q&A took place on Thursday, April 25th, 5:30 pm PDT. Designers Dave Kosak, Ion Hazzikostas, Brian Holinka, Cory Stockton, and Greg Street answered player questions--since they covered a ton of questions over the course of an hour, we've organized all of their answers below by topic!
You can also visit
Blizzard's site
to view a full chronological transcript of the Q&A.
Q&A Highlights
Some epic battle pets are coming in 5.4.
The new Barrens content in 5.3 will not be CRZ, and will not affect low-level questing.
Think the Alliance was shortchanged on lore? Dave Kosak has some thoughts on that.
Plans are in the works for some server population issues.
Based on player feedback, the PvP Pet Battle system may continue to expand after 5.3.
While the 5.4 raid will include Orgrimmar, it won't just be recycled zones--plans will see some new stuff.
PvP questions included players asking about PvPers making gold and additional PvP rewards. They also asked about 5.3 changes, such as ilvl 496 item scaling for PvP and removing resilience from PvP gear.
