thread. Current system is confusing and going to become more and more difficult to deal with. As you basically will be required to grind 100% of your desired rank in a week or get nothing. You can’t just grind to rank 6 then grind next week to rank 7, because you may as well just grinded the honor for rank 7 since its the same honor regardless required.
This amount of honor is still pheasible to grind in a week but as we move forward in phases its going to become more and more ridiculous
Do you use the Ranker addon or know about it?. It spells out how much honor you need for each rank or rank milestones.
Yes, that is all well and fine. But if you don’t hit the minimum threshold for the rank then you get 0% towards that rank. It happened to me in phase 2. I ended up grinding almost 80k in rep because unlike classic - you can’t be 21% or 76% or what have you through a rank.
I generally agree. The system they made is way to complicated and should be simplified. What are they scared that someone might rank up slowly over 3 years?
Having an aggressive forced metric to hit in a specific short time period makes things feel like a chore.
I had fun pvping to get rank 7, I did not have fun having to think about If I don’t do 10 more bgs before I go to bed I will have wasted so many hours of progress.
There are breakpoints built in that are not explained. You don’t have to grind 100% of a rank all at once after you hit a certain level. I suggest using ranker to understand the system better.
Thresholds were always built into the system including the old one. If you didn’t gain enough honor compared to others in the pool then you didn’t gain any rank and in fact you might have lost rank
Yeah, but the breakpoints are widely inconsistent and not very clear. And there isn’t nearly enough of them.
I am using Ranker. Ranker barely knows any of the break points.
Can blizzard implement a better system? Sure or they can also better explain the current system.
AV being added to the honor grind in p4 is really going to make this a non-issue and will basically be handing out rank 14 for free. I don’t know if OP played Classic or SOM but ranking once AV opens up and with the current system is going to make ranking a weekend only event of hitting cap and being done.
There aint no way Blizzard can explain the system lol. They would have to make a paragraph of explanation per rank with how obtuse it is. If they wanted to keep this fall back crap they could at least make them more frequent and easily understandable. Every 20% is a break. Easy.
I think the system is a relic of the past when PVP Rank was presitgeous and they wanted to limit how many players could hit top rank.
In today’s world it makes more sense to me for rank to work like experience. You keep gaining honor until you hit the next rank. Be it a day, week, or a month. They can set it so you need some ungodly amount of honor at the higher ranks so only the most dedicated players get it.
I’m more concerned by the fact they nerfed STV honor token by 75% so if you didn’t farm last phase to get Rank 7 on first week of phase 3 by hoarding tokens you’re basically sh*t out of luck.
This PvP system is trash. They don’t respect your time, made clear by the fact they delete your progress if you don’t have the time to reach those breakpoints.
I can’t believe such a fickle system is in place in order to get BiS shoulders. It completely bugged out on me and a number of other people and with the way Blizz works now, our tickets will never be answered.
I don’t know. It wouldn’t seem right to have an army full of Generals and no Privates. I think there should on be a select few at the top. It’s supposed to be a military rank, not a level.
Amazing. Let’s go further! Why are bosses respawning? It doesn’t make sense when multiple people can kill a dragon and have the same head in their inventory. Why are players themselves can resurrect? Hardcore should be the default! Man am I glad developers have this infinite well of wisdom and ideas in people like you and I.
yeah i use ranker, that isn’t issue I just see problem upcoming phases where your going to need to grind 300k, 500k honor in a week for that phases rank
Pretty sure we all use ranker for those who were wondering.
The point is the honor system is trash. Going from rank 5-6 one week and then 6-7 the next week shouldn’t be double the honor of going straight 5-7 in one week. That is bad design
Not being able to progress your bar as if it is a simple XP bar every week is also dumb. Having to hit all or nothing breakpoints in specific intervals that requires googling or addons to determine is beyond dumb
yeah, I’m just looking forward honestly for how its going to be in this system they’ve adapted for SOD.
Its going to be horrible when rank 9+ starts coming out the amount of honor we need to grind in a single week
