Ascension Changelog

Commendations vendor will now unlock after earning the end boss achievement in any difficulty for the raid in addition to the next tier being active for the raid. This means after doing Heroic, Mythic, or Ascended you are not required to go kill normal mode to unlock the commendation vendors.

Improved the Arena matchmaking system with two changes: (1) Matchmaking rating now adjusts to actual performance much faster (up to 5-10x). (2) Team rating now converges to matchmaking rating much faster whenever there is a big gap (>300) between them. These changes have several benefits including reducing the amount of uneven games, making the initial rating climb far less grindy and making matchmaking more responsive to changes in performance.
