vengeance666 wroteit wasn't 2 emblems per day :O that was the "gift" for normal instances , every boss in HC used to drop emblems + 2 FROST EMBLEMS later as a "gift" , and since there was too many instances runnig at least half of them would get you LOTS of emblems in now time !!! i got at least 1 emblem of triumph item each day , later on when went to ICC i got half of the frost emblematic items , i went from 0 gear to 6k GS in no time !
and for the time beeing i don't that this year any of these titles will have any impact on WoW , there's not any hype for it atleast for now
Hehe well, it was 2 emblems per day XD. The frost badges were pre-Cata change. It wasn't like that all the time. So is the weekly raid.
This is how it used to be, there were two types of emblems, Triumph and Conquest. You used to get 2 emblems of Triumph by doing the daily heroic quest, and you get emblem of conquest by killing the bosses in the dungeons. As Devaz said, the tier gear used to cost Triumph which was 232ilevel, Conquest were 226ilevel. There was no weekly raid or other. The big raid was ToC raid. Then the changes started taking place.
They:
- Removed conquest and lower badges (heroism).
- Added frost badges which buys you the 251ilevel tier.
- Added the LFG mechanism.
- Added the weekly raid.
- Removed the daily heroic quest and replaced it with a daily random heroic.
- Added ICC raid.
- Added 3 new dungeons, PoS, FoS, and HoR
But remember, all this time the old heroics remained the same dropping ilevel200 gear, HoR is like Cata, at first people used to fear it until they were in 251ilevel, then it was a cake.
Now whenever we do a random heroic in guild, we dont use cc lol. So yeah, Cata is turning out easier by the min.
