Double Honor and Darkmoon Faire Coming to Pre-patch

Are you saying the PvP tab on your character is wrong? How can you tell how much honor you have? That’s how people are tracking the size of the ticks… not chat from what I understand.

chat is giving 40 per 200 pts, however the weekend bonus at 150 intervals is still not applying

Got ya, so its double, but then BG weekend is doing nothing.

I reckon they’ll add the double honor AFTER bg weekend is over rofl then they’ll say ‘oh sorry but its double now we promise’

ofc they cant even stick to what they are saying…

Exactly, in general, the weekend bonus isn’t working at all at the moment.

Which is confusing, because it sure didn’t take them long to nerf it, but it’s taking forever to fix the bonus.

Double Honor will also go into effect with realm restarts, and thereafter, we expect that there may be some scorecard elements hat don’t display it accurately. Don’t worry; the extra Honor will be counted.

scorecard elements

extra Honor will be counted.

Very rarely do I post in the forums, but I fell the need to drop my 2 cents here. Honestly, this is incredibly frustrating. I farmed for a sold 4 hours today in AB and had not even 4k honor to show for it. At that rate, you are talking about close to 40 hours farming for a weapon. That is completely unrealistic for pre-patch. I just don’t understand why Blizzard continues to make these changes that continues to take the shine and the luster off what many people consider one of the shining points of this entire game. Like, pull your head out, you are only pushing people away.

Today I was able to complete 24 games in 10 hours. This is queuing time included.

11559 Honor Gained including daily pvp quest.

So if anyone is looking to get the 6 piece HWL set and weapon for 104k honor before June 1st TBC launch. Plan on BG grinding 10 hours minimum the next 10 days.

your unwillingness to accept that the pvp is working correctly isn’t adorable, i get like 600 honor for losing ab, the bonus honor is 100% working

Yeah funny that isn’t it ? Then they won’t be able to ‘refund missing honor’ for no reason.

noone is getting 600 honor for losing AB, show some screenshots of this because i call shennanagins

In my opinion it isnt working as blizzard described. If it is working as they intended, then its still not good enough. There is no incentive to do double honor AB weekend AB at the current honor gains it yields.

AB awards 20 bonus honor based off ever 200 resource tick. Double Honor gains puts that to 40 honor every 200 resource. Bonus Week should put that to 80 honor every 200 resource.

Currently my games today was only giving 40 honor every 200 resource. I was getting more honor from the HK’s then the bonus resource. That was in 25+ minute games as well.

This is my sample size for AB

Game Mode Honor Time Stamp Honor Gains Date
AB WIN 9540 4:48 228 5/20 AFK Win
AB loss 10889 26 min 524 5/21
AB loss 11535 27 min 646 5/21
AB loss 12229 12:20 302 5/21
AB LOSS 12459 12:47 230 5/21
AB LOSS 14881 5:07 12 min 252 5/21

I wish more people focused on the actual argument: We are netting vastly less honor now than we did in original prepatch.

The pre nerf values were incredibly inaccurate if you were only considering bonuses, but due to normalized HK values, the reinforcement mechanic, and modern day player mentality, 10x honor made it all come closer to what we actually got per hour back in the day than the nerfed honor.

We can hem and haw about raw honor values but we’re all liars if we said we actually cared. What we DO care about-- what we have ALWAYS cared about-- was how long it took to get whatever gear we were after.

go play a game and report back if you don’t believe me, you can make your own screenshots, or you can look at headbasha’s table above, he lost a 27 minute game and got 646 honor, the other games he got absolutely clobbered in and lost in 12 mins and still got 250-300 honor, you are wrong i’m afraid.
