not in 3 months, it takes several weeks of siting in top 3 to get r14, and you have to devote all of your time to pvp in order to do it
also, the honor decay of 10%, i think it was, makes it take even longer
why the would you want people to be able to rank, but not include bgs? do you have any idea the negative effect this would have on the people trying to grind high ranks, and also the people who are much more casual just trying to level at their own pace? please reconsider this “ranking without bg mindset” you guys have

its how vanilla originally was, there was 1.5 months between honor system and bgs on live

Keyword being “additional progression”. But if there is nothing to do in game before that “phase” is released I will again have probably already received a superior reward making the addition of that reward (when it comes) useless again.
I’m not saying the reward is bad. I am saying the timing is.
When vanilla launched originally and Blizzard was still learning and seeing what worked and what didn’t adding it after the fact made sense. Recreating that timeline for posterity’s sake is dumb, had original developers had the foresight to see that this was needed it would have been included at launch. Re-launching the game you have the opportunity to correct such issues… but they won’t because… reasons.

Tbh i doubt that, fastest to r14 was what a lil over 2 months? And that was on a pserver that had bgs from the gate.
Wpvp wont generate as much honor per hour then bgs. And depending on the time they release content, i just cant see anyone hitting r14 by bwl (when bgs come) not from just wpvp. Nuh uh

let me rephrase a bit, its possible, but highly unlikely
Are you serious? Please tell me you are not being serious. Because if you are then you need some serious self-reflection.
You used the “it’s 1.12 Classic so it has 1.12 AV” as an argument. You realize that in itself is an argument. That by stating that you’re taking a stand against 1.5 AV.
Not only that but you are saying that Classic should be 1.12 which means you support ALL vanilla content being released at once, cross server BGs, 1.12 everything. . .
No what you are doing is joking and harrassing a group of people based on their opinions. Are we a minority? Do you SERIOUSLY believe that and have something to back it up? Because here’s the thing. . . That thread about 1.12AV by the blues has the LEAST likes by a HUUGE margin. How many people are arguing against them because they WANT 1.12AV?
Hmm? How many? Because in the forums it seems more and more like there are 3 groups. The largest is either those who don’t care what AV we get or it is those who want 1.5AV. The smallest group is the pro-1.12AV. And no, people not responding is not a silent majority. How many times have we seen bad ideas here get mauled to death?
No you are being extremely asinine and ignorant. Make sure you understand what it is you say when you say it because in this thread alone you’ve supported cross server BGs, all content released at once and every other dissliked change made by 1.12.

Does this mean that original mounts from vanilla - those granting the Old School Ride achievement, like the unarmored Frostsaber which is now called Ancient Frostsaber - that were removed when the first pvp system was introduced on May 5th, 2005, will be available at the start of Classic?
Honor points don’t matter for rank 14 though. It’s just you need more honor than the other people.
So if someone gets 400,000 honor from BGs or 200,000 from WPVP that doesn’t matter. What matters is something having the most honor and getting 13,000 ranking points.
exactly, but you get the ranking points from sitting on top of leader boards, which factored honor, you got RP from your HP gain per week
at like a 10% decay per week
It’ll be months from when the honor system is added for someone to hit r14, it isn’t possibleto just get it immediately. You can only rank up so much each week
Does the download come in game ? I know about the whole lightshope thing, but I wanted to get started when it officially releases.
Pretty sure their is a hk point at each rank you need to achieve just to get that rank then for r14 you also need to be the highest amongst the r13s
This stuff honestly confuses me. I legit thought that the absolute chaos of world pvp everywhere in every zone like a constant war was what people on PvP serves literally wanted?

He was saying that people won’t get rank 14 because there isn’t enough honor.
I’m saying it doesn’t matter if you get 25 honor.
If you get 25 honor every week for 12 weeks while everyone else gets 24 honor. Congratulations. You have gotten 13,000 ranking points each week and should be rank 14.
The system is based on a curve. Top honor gainers get top ranking points. Honor itself doesn’t matter. Ranking points do.
Yeah gank squads are very much wpvp, if anything its like the boss of wpvp, you need multiple people to respond.

have to be in top 2000 players to even be considered, and then you need a minimum HK = to the average of the top 2000 Honor point ranked players, then it calculates your RP gain for that week
25 honor is like 1 kill, need minimum of 25 kills, and then the minimum goes up based on the average of the top 2000 players on your server
Im just using it as an example of not needing honor. Honor itself doesn’t matter. Honor is used for getting ranking points. What matter is having enough honor to get the most ranking points.
All that matters is that you get X honor per week. X = Y +1 (Y = honor for everyone else).
If you get more honor per week than everyone else you get 13,000 ranking points. So how much honor you get doesn’t matter as long as you get the most.
