honor rates

[Inanis]

lowered again ? wth really? not only the server is just getting back from almost 2 months in "unplayable" status and impossible AV spam.. but now someone decided to lower honor rates?

Honor is absurdly reduced. You have to do bgs 2 days just to buy 1 bloodthirsty item. I was lucky enough to have geared 2 chars during Exodus's best days, but now I think my new char won't see full bloodthirsty in months, not to mention faction imbalance and new players not having a chance to compete with already overgeared players.

For a full honor set:
main set: 3x2200 + 2x1650 honor = 9900 honor
offparts: 2x1250 (rings) + 4x1250 (wrist, belt, back, neck) + 1650 (boots) = 9150
pvp trinket: 1650
additional 2nd trinket from honor: 1650

So if we do the math, its around 22350 honor ( I havent counted the pvp enchants =+3k honor). So lets say, we win every single bg, not counting the first win of every day: 22350/135: 165,5 wins are needed for a full set at the moment. Of course it's a little bit less with the "first win of the day", but still. And this was the best case scenario, 165 wins...

Now, as we all know, nobody can win every single bg, especially if they are in need of honor ( meaning they are not full geared). So, let me ask here, with the given situation of faction imbalance ( I've experienced 30 mins ques, average is around 10 mins), how are the players in need are supposed to have fun, while suffering to gear themselves? Sometimes 2-3 hours pass until I can win a battleground in the horde - trolls are welcome at this part, saying how bad I must be, although I consider myself an average player - which is kind of disappointing.

In order to bring back the fun for those with starter gear, I humbly ask the staff, to recosinder the honor rates.

I believe some modification was done, as the honor rates were 2x, now it's back to 1x.

[spartan123]

the rates were 1.5x, and I think they still are.

Isnt there a chance for the honor rates to be raised a little bit?^^ .. Cause with this rates , almost noone admires PvP on this server.
3x would be great for a honor rate ^^.

Here we go again...

[Vicarious]

there are already enough people that know nothing about pvp.

raising the honor rate would make for even worse players.


what i do believe should be higher is the honor gained from killing. u get 1 point per kill even if u get killing blow. max 3 pts its ridiculous

Our dreams will always adhere to a world beyond this one

[Inanis]

no, if you raise hnor gained per kill no one would complete bg.. it would become a camp fest.


honor rates or only honor per win should be raised, so people actually try to win a bg

ATM:

win bg: 152 honor .. 25 min time

lose bg 47 honor .. 3-5 min time

so yeh atm if you wanna farm honor is better to lose a bg fast than wining it.. in 1 hr you can get 564 honor with fast loses (losing a bg in 3-5 mins) .. vrs 302 honor if you win. (ofcourse if you can win a bg in 2-5 mins is even better..)

imho wining honor should be increased (if staf is soo against increasing honor rate in general)

[Zohlomg]

I will make the honor rates bigger.

Honor Rates are now 2.5x (up from 1x) on Exodus. Enjoy.
