Omitting a critical component of the requirements imo is a bigger issue but I also do think that the nerf to the cost of commendations by 4x was completely unnecessary and unreasonable.
lucky i knew to get 15 hkâs
i also got level 44 before using the tokens just to be safe. hit 50 before the reset anyway

You guys are dumb.

The game mode youâre playing on is Classic Era. The PvP progression system is Classic Era. The server clusters are hosted on Classic Era API. The game is running 1.15 WoW - which is Classic Era.
Everything about SoD is hosted, run on, operated by, and functions via classic era.
The PvP system in classic era, created by blizzard, has been clearly depicted via blue post on multiple different websites - and repeatedly explain - the requirements for progression in those environments. Up to, and including the rank % requirement breakpoints per bucket and progression totals.
The random google script you found is out of date.
I donât know how much clearer âThis is 1.15 WoW. This is how ranking works in 1.15 WoW. These are the requirements to rank in 1.15 WoW.â from the literal company itself - not even a third party - can be for you.
Again, Iâm really sorry you got shafted. A buddy of mine in Classic Era grinded 500k in sands then killed friends for 15 total HKs before reset. 4 of those kills were 100% DRâd, and didnât count - leaving them at 11 HKs and 500k sand grinded⌠Roughly 100 hours of work wasted in a single week, on their R14 progression grind.
They received absolutely nothing from Blizzard after ticketing it - and they actually had an argument saying theyâd obtained the required 15 HKs, but Blizzard only counted 4 of them.
The company told you 15 honor honor kills are required for any/all rank progression.

Why are you so invested in proving something thatâs blatantly false?
It is NOWHERE in game.
It was OMITTED from the bluepost.
The honor calculator is not a ârandom google scriptâ nor is it âout of dateâ - it is being actively updated for SoD specifically and was updated just a couple weeks ago. Itâs also the honor calculator everyone I know who played original Classic used during Classic.
Furthermore, the bluepost in question is THIS ONE. We are talking about THIS bluepost that we are commenting on. Blizzard saying that itâs required in some bluepost during original classic is completely irrelevant and just shows you are willfully ignoring my point, which is that I did not play original classic and thus had no way to know about that requirement - itâs neither in game nor in this bluepost
Itâs in the blue post about 1.15 WoW. You know, the one SoD is based on.
Which you log in to. Every time you open battlenet, and click play. (You can see version under the play button) - just because youâre ignorant of the game version and never bothered to look up the rules doesnât mean itâs wrong. Itâs inherently correct - the PvP system for 1.15 requires 15 honor kills to progress. This is 100% transparent by Blizzard at all times.
Everyone who plays classic knows the github script was outdated when buckets got added, and uses Ranker.
nobody cares you didnât play classic wow. the game is built on 1.15 patch, which you should be aware of considering that itâs in the advertisement for SoD. Meaning, all 1.15 rules apply to the game.
Ignorance of fact is not absence of fact. The company told you the requirements, you didnât bother to look it up. Thatâs on you, not them.
Why restrict honor from those who didnât prep for the following phase?
Sure you can still get honor at a rate of 1/4 what you could just one week ago.
Is this your way of forcing people to spend an unsightly amount of time in battlegrounds?
Lol, SOD devs are clueless.

Iâm sorry but this is such a bad faith argument and you (and the rest of us) know it.
You are also completely missing the point.
Saying itâs buried somewhere obscure is completely unhelpful.
It should be IN-GAME and it should ALSO have been IN THE BLUEPOST.
Not hard to understand.
No, your âWELL I DIDNâT KNOW SO IT DOESNâT COUNTâ is inherently a you problem.
Everyone else knew SoD was on 1.15 patch cycle. They openly advertised it as being in 1.15.
Meaning, all 1.15 class talents, spells, skills, flight points, etc⌠all apply.
They even made a point to tell you directly that SoD pvp was having decay removed and was in-line with the 1.15 classic era patch cycle.
THIS IS YOUR FAULT. You didnât know - but everyone else did. You trusted a third party website instead of relying on the company itself to tell you - clear as day - the ranking requirements for 1.15 WoW.
Ignorance is not an excuse. Just because you didnât know is a you problem.
Youâre insisting on spamming insults and being toxic⌠but, you really canât argue âthe company told you clear as day in the 1.15 pvp updatesâ - because they did. Your main argument is that you never bothered to go read the patch notes, and it should be in-game⌠except itâs not⌠but the company still told you clear as day what you needed to do.
Edit: Itâs even in the SoD launch post.

Weird how all the other people in the same boat as me also didnât know and thereâs a ton of people in my thread agreeing that Blizzard dropped the ball by omitting the requirement from their bluepost.
I also never insulted you, wtf?
Edit: itâs also bizarre to me you keep insisting I was told and it was made clear while completely ignoring the fact that, again there is no information whatsoever IN-GAME about the 15 HK requirement
Expecting everyone to read every single page on wow wiki and every single bluepost ever created is similarly bizarre, Iâm kind of at a loss for words here
they never should of allowed anyone to stockpile the honor. simple. as.

Thatâs more of a retail thing. Retail is more of rails-on hold your hand RPG.
Such a strange take âthe game shouldnât include critical information pertaining to how ranking functions, anywhere within the actual game. thatâs handholding!â
At no point in WoW classic history was ranking information ever available inside of the game.
Ever. Period. At all. Ever. It was never made clear to you what thresholds were when it was threshold gated. It was never made clear what the buckets were when it changed to buckets. Players found these things out, and community-driven efforts made it available knowledge to figure out what the breakpoints were.
Youâve completely missed the mark on 1.15 era WoW. 100% screamingly missed every aspect of it.
That wasnât actually my take if you even read anything from my post.
We identified a significant number of players who appear to have been trying for Rank, and used a lot of Bloodstained Commendations before the deadline, but did not obtain the requisite HKs that week. Weâve developed a one-time-only fixup for you.
On Tuesday, April 16, during scheduled maintenance â before the weekly calculations are started for the week of April 9-16 â weâre going to attempt to change the record for those player-characters who fit the above description for the week of April 2-9. The fixup will essentially change your history to make it look as though you got the requisite 15 HKs during the previous week.

Can you also fix the AB logs only giving 20 rep instead of 200? I turned in 62 logs for 12k rep because I thought it would be more fun to farm 30k honor than it would 12k rep and ended up only getting 1200 rep because each log gave 20 rep instead of 200 since I turned them in on Friday rather than Thursday since I have a job and was prequesting like mad and didnât have an hour to spare to fly to Arathi and turn in 62 quests
Pretty salty about that.
I ground 120k rep at 50 to get r7 week 1 but am still just honored with defilers instead of halfway to exalted.
now donât you feel silly

thatâs pretty cool of them. if i had fd up my rank i probably would have quit lol. almost any major bad event would be like a hard core death for me.
so they can stock up on commendations for 110k but cant get 15 hkâs in a week? stop catering to this participation award mob
