MoP Classic Pre-Patch PvP Updates are now Live

With hotfixes that are now live:

  • The Honorable Mention perk has been increased to a gain of 250% (was a gain of 10%).
    • Developers’ notes: This was not bugged, but before this change, Honor gains matched that of Mists of Pandaria. This bonus will revert back to 10% when Pandaria content becomes available on July 21.
  • Base resilience increased for players under level 90 to 55% (was 40%).

The resilience increase equates to a 25% reduction in damage taken. Previously, if you took 100 base damage unmitigated by resilience, you would receive 60 damage (the 40% base resilience accounting for the rest). Now you receive 45 damage.

Base resilience remains unchanged for player-characters at Level 90.

Thanks for the changes but…

Can we stop doing this whole “honor is a complete slog” thing every expansion?

Existing PvP players play more when they can reasonably gear out their other specs and alts.

New players may actually consider trying it if they don’t need to get stomped into the ground for 60 battlegrounds first.

This is one of those things that should absolutely fall into the #somechanges category.

So your character has to be in a guild to benefit from the honor buff?

Guild perks are available to all players regardless of guild status. They’ve been that way in Classic since they were introduced

Baoleng is correct.

Everyone default has the guild perks on their characters.

This is just the delivery method for the change

Was about to make a post after getting something like 400 honor in a wsg win that honor values where seemingly buffed. Also that seemingly no one was getting instantly smoked (wasn’t sure at the time if that was a change or the other team being under geared, though)

Great change, blizz. Genuinely. You guys get hate when you get things wrong, you should also get credit when making things better.

Now any potential news on a monk pvp set?

I could be mistaken on this bit, but I thought the honor values being too low where a result of not being level capped for the 90 (or 89?) bracket…I’d expect numbers at 90 to be more normal/consistent than the low values we had earlier this week.

Thankyou for listening to feedback

Hmm I’m confused then, I only received 200 honor for a win, seems more or less the same as yesterday.

Are you looking at the Battleground Scoreboard?

If so, the Scoreboard does not reflect any bonuses to honor gains you may have. So it is always pre-bonus.

how about fixing premade groups or idea:
make an algorithm that pairs up other premades in 10v10 content
facing premade after premade is going to be an awful gaming experience

I’m checking my currency tab, I’m only getting about 200 honor a win.
Are you all sure you are getting more?

Same problem here.

This should have been a day 1 change

I am getting 1200 - 1800 a win and 400 something a loss (wsg and tol barad)

You get bonus honor as the BG’s end, it doesn’t go onto the scoreboard but if you look in chat you will see +143 honor when you win a BG. Check how much honor you have on your currency page b4 a BG then check your total after if u want to keep track for an exact amount!

MoP Classic PvP has received more system updates than retail PvP has in over 2 years…

excellent changes

thanks for listening
