I’ve been doing this on a couple of alts for years. In my experience, it’s best to also occasionally do some other activities that make the character stronger.

For example, when I reached the point where I wanted to move a pet battler character to Deadwind Pass, to battle Lydia Accoste and the surrounding wild Arcane Eyes every day for a few days, I got killed going into Deadwind Pass.

Which was a matter of my gear being very low level, and some of my best skills being unlearned.

We’ve certainly had a different time for the last 14 months. It’s hard to know what we need though. This region includes all of the Americas, Australia, and New Zealand.

But the setting isn’t by-region. It’s by-forum. And we can test it on a specific forum, if we want to. For instance, a bug report forum is a place where we’ve read every post extensively, and perhaps don’t want older threads revived when a player experiences something new.

I was actually just discussing this with a colleague yesterday. We didn’t immediately agree on the right timeframe for a thread to close after its last post, but it seems like 60 or 90 days is more than enough time.

Hello!

I just wanted to reiterate the quoted statement here. Please be aware that the conversion is happening in one week, during maintenance for the content update.

I’ve updated the OP here with recent Classic hotfixes:

January 7, 2019

  • Somnus will no longer become stuck evading when he is kited a great distance.
  • Fixed a bug that caused /stopattack and /startattack macros to pause the swing timer (rather than reset it) when used with abilities such as Slam.

This is not a bug.

As we previously noted, a bug on December 31 caused Season 3 to unexpectedly end for Arenas and Rated Battlegrounds. We were able to fix the issue early on January 3, and the fix retained rating changes and tier updates that were obtained by players during the unexpected off-season.

During the time between the bug and the fix, a small number of players advanced to a rating that provides a meaningful reward, and then have not seen that reflected in-game in the resumed Season. To address this, we’re deploying a hotfix:

Battle for Azeroth Season 3 will end with the launch of Visions of N’Zoth. When maintenance begins early on January 14, both PvP and Mythic Keystone competition will close, and a one-week off-season for those activities will begin.

During the off-season, Mythic Keystone dungeons will still be playable using Season 3 affixes and rewards, but their seasonal achievements will no longer be available. Additionally, it will still be possible to queue for Rated PvP based on your Season 3 rating, but titles and associated rewards will no longer be earnable. The end-of-season rankings will close when Visions of N’Zoth goes live.

  • As always, we ask that competitive players refrain from transferring character(s) to another realm or faction until after BFA Season 4 has begun.

BFA Season 4 will begin one week after the content update, along with the opening of Ny’alotha, a new seasonal affix for Mythic Keystone dungeons, and the...

Hello. Thanks for the reports.

We have a bug that caused there to be no weekly Conquest reward quest this week. We’re fixing the bug, so next week should work as expected, but we’re applying the fix during maintenance in each region (tomorrow, January 7 at 7:00 a.m. PST in this region).

Thankfully, these quests are designed to backlog – if you aren’t up-to-date with Conquest rewards, this doesn’t affect you at all, and if you are up-to-date, you’ll be able to complete this week’s reward after maintenance, and then move on to the next one.

We apologize for the confusion.

We’ve finished creating and testing a fix for the issue, and we will implement the fix after realm restarts tomorrow. We’ve scheduled the realm restarts for Friday, January 3 at 7:00 a.m. PST / 10:00 a.m. EST, and we expect we’ll complete the fix about three hours later.

Again, thank you for your patience.

Update 11:10 a.m. PST - January 2, 2020

We continue to work through this issue, which is our top priority.

We’re working on a hotfix for the game that will resume Season 3, and at this time, we expect that we will be able to retroactively retain rating changes and tier updates. We do not expect that we will be able to retroactively retain the season games played count or win counts that increased during this brief offseason.

We’ll let you know once we have the final hotfix prepared, as we intend to restart all realms to deploy the fix.

Thank you for your patience.
