Instant 250 Valor upon login on Reset Day

[Waltzinblack]

So upon logging in on Wednesday (on EU servers) I discovered that I was rewarded with 250 Valor points. Thinking back on when I logged off last night I realised that I had exited the game half way through the Madness of Deathwing encounter on the LFR. So I'm guessing that if you want a very fast and instant 250 Valor points upon logging in on reset, you want to exit the game half way between Madness on LFR and log back on after the reset.

TL;DR,

• Join Fall of Deathwing LFR on Monday (US)/Tuesday (EU)
• On the Madness fight, exit the game (alt+F4, press the X if in windowed mode)
• Log back in the next day with an instant 250 Valor points

Just a few points to clear up any potential questions,

• I was Valor capped (1000/1000) before I entered the LFR
• I had already looted the entire of LFR, including Madness
• This is not a UI bug - I do have an extra 250 VP
• The 250 VP does count towards this week's 1000 cap, and you can't get the 250 VP again from Madness.
• You CAN loot Madness this week again.

Screenshot as I logged into the game to prove I am not lying. Sorry it doesn't have timestamps, I didn't have any enabled.

I'm sorry nobody can confirm it until next week, and I'm not even sure it will work again. However I am posting this just in case

But since you left the dungeon when the counter was in progress wont it get you saved once you receive the valor points on this reset with no loot whatsoever ?

If you read my post,

The game DOESN'T tell me that I have looted Madness already

[snapshort]

u earn them cuz they killed Deathwing and u are "saved" 4 this kill. u also get an id 4 doing this if there is no reset.

[Waltzinblack]

No, you're wrong. I'm not saved, I haven't looted it, and there isn't an ID because it's LFR. Read my post before replying.

[NO "THEORIES"] ?

Seems like a one time thing to me.
But i can be wrong, let's just wait for next week...

[Waltzinblack]

Well it's not entirely a theory, it's a bug, it worked this week at least. A theory would be if I thought it would work without trying it at all...

Just finished LFR tonight. I could roll on Deathwing's loot, however I did not get the extra 250 Valor points. This just seems like a way to get the Valor points instantly after a reset.

OP is correct the same thing happened to me, There was a random reset other day,on the last boss fight, tanks started up and we got a 10min warning so i left straight away, got the 250vp but was able to que again and loot last last boss.

you dont have a Valor or Conq POINT CAP NO MORE only JP and honor are capped at 4k.

i have 4.6k VP atm you are only capped VP 1k per week

Reading comprehension is low in this thread.

Interesting bug.

But dosen't all raids reset on wednesday? Which then would be the case why it tell you you aren't saved.

EDIT: I missed that you said you were capped for last week. So much for speed reading. But will try next week and if working +rep

Weekly cap. Weekly. You should know this because I put 1000/1000. Please people, read my entire post before replying.

DCing during encounters has always resulted in "interesting" things. But this is no bug. In the past you normally did not get anything from a boss if you had a DC and were not online during the actual kill. Blizz changed this. Now you at least get the points for the kill although you normally cannot loot the boss.

But how did you manage to loot all LFR-bosses including Madness? You said that you got the 250VP for the Madness kill, which means that you have not killed Madness in the previous week = no loot.

Or does this mean that you already killed Madness that week, looted him and then killed him again and got the 250VP for this second kill after the reset = 500 VP from both kills? That would be an exploit.

I think it's because Raid resets dont occur until noon but caps reset at 3 am, maybe thats why you dont get saved to looting that boss.

This happened to me couple of weeks ago after I left a madness group that were wiping.
