*Attention Twinks* Huge Battleground Change for Patch 5.2

Chicagox

Legend
Players in low level battlegrounds will have their effective level raised to the maximum level allowed in that battleground bracket. Players' base stats and spells are scaled accordingly and are treated as the same level when determining hits, misses, and critical effect chance.
Rated Battlegrounds now award conquest to the losing team based on their final score. The losing team can earn up to 200 Conquest Points from a very close match.

This will screw up 60s / 70s / 85s big time. Time to start a thread in EU forums :s

19s will be kings of twinks again though. And we could se a rising of 64 gem twinking.
 
Does this count for xp off bgs? Such as f2ps and the like? If so then...

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Oh but if this goes through in xp-off too, I will be forced to level and regear my 20 hunter or it'll be shit :(

if i understand this change? things like:

- a 20F2P will have the same "base" stats as a 24, and in a BG will be considered a 24 as far as hit goes, but not have 21-24 abilities?

- a 70 will be now considered a 74 base stat wise however will not have the 71-74 abilities. i wonder if this will hurt 70's because they are temp flagged as 74's in BGs but still in 70 gear? stat scaling is #1 reason why most in 70-74 bracket stay at 70

For 19s this don't matter much, except you are a 15-16.
I kinda like it for leveling bgs. Level 10s must be a little annoyed, since lvl 10 gives them insane crit/haste/whatever.

Both good and bad, I am excited to see what it is live.
 
How will this affect my 10 twink? Will my secondary stats scale as 14?.. And this is just inside BGs right?
 
It doesn't say anything about altering secondary stats or their scaling. Sounds more like the percentages for those will stay the same as what you have before the "level boost". Only guessing though.

If not, I don't see them doing this without some form of gear/ilvl boost too (which they've talked about in the past). It's obviously an attempt to give lower levels more of a chance in PvP, yet this would only make them less powerful if the ratings were treated like those of a higher level.

To clear that up for you, im not exactly sure of the numbers but at lvl 10, 1 crit rating = ~ 2% crit. At lvl 14, 1 crit = ~0.50% crit.
As a 10 twink, I am NOT happy if my stats scale for a 14. Ill say goodbye to my 50% crit and 38% haste on my warr >.<

It says the critical strike will scale to the top level. It does not mention haste however I assume if crit does, other stats will also.
 
So if I get this right, 20s will get the same base stats of 24s and maybe even get unblocked some spells?
