News Round Up: Valor Point Cap, Ghostcrawler Twitter Highlights
While many of us are still on vacation, Blizzard staff is returning to regular news posting! Today we have some explanations behind the
Очки доблести
cap--always a hot topic--and what the purpose of common-quality vendor gear serves when it gives minimal upgrades. Personally, I think it adds some neat flavor even if the items aren't huge upgrades, but would like to be able to use them for transmog.
Ghostcrawler has also been pretty active on twitter dispensing advice and answering player concerns. We've picked out some of the most interesting recent ones, which cover class balance, LFR droprates, and cooking catch-up mechanisms.
We've also refined some 3D models from our
popular Season 13 PvP post
--check out the new shoulders!
Очки доблести
Cap
The cap should not really be seen as punishment to people for being able to reach the maximum amount of

s every week. The idea behind the cap is to give people a choice on how they reach the cap without having them feel obliged to do everything.

Class Balance Concerns -> BM Hunters
Update: We have just discovered a bug in which the debuff that makes Stampede pets weaker than normal pets was not being applied in Arenas. This helps explain why hunters could cause so much damage in Arenas but not in (say) the outdoor world or a dungeon environment.

Ask Blizzard Anything: Blizzard's Reddit Q&A
Blizzard is following the trend of many gaming companies tonight by taking to Reddit to do their interaction with the community! Tonight Blizzard developers and community team members are going to be hosting a Q&A session through the popular website.
The Q&A is now done and we feel like this was a tremendous one. Blizzard really outdid themselves with transparency, talking extensively about issues they'd previously avoided. The PvE section is especially illuminating. Thanks Blizzard!
Lore
Given what Sylvanas and the Forsaken have been up to regarding the Plague, isn't it inevitable that her desire to "procreate" the undead will bring the Forsaken into direct conflict with all the living factions?
Well, first she'd have to run out of corpses, so from that perspective, the war is REALLY helping the Forsaken out... ;)
This is a good question, because the nature of the Forsaken makes them a really unstable ally. That leads to some great stories. At the moment, Sylvanas is fort

Patch 5.0.5 Notes, Jade Forest Preview
Today's a busy day for Blizzard! They're having a WoW Developer Reddit AMA at 5:30 PM PDT today, and they also just posted Patch 5.0.5 notes (mainly tooltip and bug fixes) and a preview of The Jade Forest, including screenshots and music samples!

News Round Up: Shorter Raid Cooldowns, Darkmoon Rabbit, 5.0.4 Class Mechanics
Now that 5.0.4 is live and players have had time to try out the new abilities, there's been many blue posts over the long weekend clarifying class mechanics and procs for abilities, weapons, and trinkets. You may also have noticed that some long cooldowns in 5.0.4 reset between raid encounters like
Возрождение
: there are plans to have even more 5+ minute cooldowns function this same way.
Also of particular note:
The Darkmoon Faire is back in town and brings with it

Most long-term cooldowns are not reset when a raid encounter ends. The ones we specifically wanted to hit were the battle rezes and the big, raid-wide cooldowns like

News Round Up: Scroll of Resurrection Changes, RAF for Monks
The Scroll of Resurrection program received some updates today for Mists of Pandaria, in light of players leveling Monks. Low-level Pandaren cannot receive Scroll of Resurrection rewards, all Monks will be ineligible for rewards, and talents will no longer be preselected.
However, Zarhym clarified that Monks will still be able to take full advantages of RAF bonuses as well as remain eligible for realm firsts. In addition there's no news about the mount rewards being removed anytime soon:

News Round Up: Reduced Droprates for Heroic Mounts

Служанка Хранительницы жизни
and
Дымящееся яйцо Миллазор
are easier to get than their Wrath counterparts were.
Дымящееся яйцо Миллазор
drops on normal-mode, heroic mounts are available on 10s difficulty this expansion, and multiple

on 25s means everyone in the raid gets them faster.
Blizzard has already clarified upcoming achievements like
На кромке лезвия: Великая императрица Шек'зир
will only be available in their current tier, so it looks like they still want some heroic rewards to remain time-sensitive, not something to overgear and farm an expansion later.
If these mounts do become much harder to get, at least
Оскверненное яйцо Миллазор
and
Поводья сумеречного предвестника
from meta achievements have the same models.

Ghostcrawler confirmed that it's a deliberate move to have secondary-stat gems like
Смертоносный закатный оникс
have beefed up stats in comparison to primary-stat gems like
Хрупкий первозданный рубин
. In Cata, players stacked primary stat gems and they want socketing to be more interesting in Mists.

News Round Up: Purchasable Raid Epics on the Black Market Auction House
The Black Market Auction House was a hot topic today for blue posters--after beta players noticed that raid-quality epics will be occasionally up for sale in addition to rare/removed mounts and pets. Since some wealthy players pay guilds for mounts/titles already, some players think this isn't a big deal, but others think it changes the character of the game. One of these heroic items is up for sale currently, so we added a screenshot on beta:
In other news, Ghostcrawler recently addressed Death Knights, Hunters, Rogues, and Paladins on beta. The new TCG deck was released and there's also a feature on PrintWarcraft's custom T-shirts!

No one should count on this even being close to a viable option for gearing up a character. If you can raise that kind of gold in the game, you're going to have much better success paying your way into raids for gear than hoping the right items appear for you in the black market AH (which doesn't include set pieces), hoping you can afford to outbid everyone else on your realm, and hoping you're the

Head Enchants Removed in Mists of Pandaria According to Ghostcrawler
We've been wondering where the head enchants were in Mists of Pandaria and it looks like they're gone! Ghostcrawler gave some insight today about how he disliked the head enchant system as he felt it caused players to pick their reputation based on their class rather than personal preference. He's also removed reputation based shoulder enchants, in favor of having scribes make shoulder enchants for all players.
What do you think? Are you ready to pick the faction with the cutest vanity rewards instead of the perfectly itemized enchant for your helmet?
Head enchants are gone.
We decided that putting head enchants on the various faction vendors wasn't working well with our design intent for the factions. There is a lot of max-level quest content in MoP, much of it focused around the reputation with the new factions. I think it's really cool stuff -- worlds away from the old Argent Crusade scourge stone days. :)
In previous expansions, the head enchants on the faction vendors served to force players into that content. You couldn't even choose which reputation to pursue -- you had to pursue the one with your specific head enchant. Our desi
