Need Explanation. PVP Ranking without Decay

As the title requests, how does PVP Ranking work without decay?
Are there still REQUIRED, honor thresholds need?

i.g, You are currently rank 10, 10% in, and NEED a Singluar week of 175k Honor to make it to 60% into rank 10, and if you DO NOT, hit 175K in that week, its meaningless. You just don’t lose rank.

OR

Does every little bit of accumulated honor help, and slowly get you to your next rank?
At Rank 10, with 10% progress, and you get 50, or 100K? Do you gain some progress still?

I Know there will be 100’s of experts and trolls, but if there is any hard and concrete evidence, it’d be appreciated.

Or just a GM to confirm.

Thanks!

You can take my comment with a grain of salt because I do not know for sure, but how I read it is if you get honor you make progress towards a rank promotion period. If you wanted to casually PvP for 6 months an hour a day and get rank 14, you seemingly can.

incorrect.

You still have ladder thresholds you need to meet.

You cant get 70k honor a week to r14

to be fair to everyone asking and answering blizzard words things so nebulously to their actual intentions that we really don’t know how it’ll work until it’s implemented and we can actually test it

Not really.

I think the people who are asking about this probably do not really understand how the system works in the first place. You still have honor thresholds to meet, or “platforms”. But now you don’t decay if you just dont pvp for the week

If this recent decay removal means that people can get to r14 without ever having to grind out a 500k honor week then we might as well just deposit the weapons into everyone’s inventory the moment they reach level 60.

and like i said, you have no idea how it’ll actually work when implemented. you’re guessing like everyone else. when the first change happened to decay literally every calculator was wrong because people assumed they knew, just like now

I know exactly how it will work.

It’s the same exact system they put in months ago. It will work exactly the same way. With honor thresholds you must meet depending on your current standing.

The only thing they did was remove decay, so, if you are mid rank12, decide not to play at all for 1 week, you will come back mid rank 12, instead of decaying below that.

There is nothing confusing about it. You just have no idea how the system works. I’m not guessing anything. I don’t have to.

There is a discord specifically dedicated to the ranking changes recently implemented. Nothing is changing, this is not a new system at all. The only thing different is you won’t decay mid rank if you do not meet your honor threshold.

I know you want it to be like grinding out a reputation bar, but that’s not what this is. You won’t be able to farm 70k a week and eventually hit r14, because you do not meet the threshold required. But you won’t derank if you don’t meet it

The math was correct based on blizzards formula they gave us.

the reason the calculators were wrong is because blizzard had an error on their end with their implementation, and then corrected it. If i remember correctly without searching for it, their decay values had been implemented incorrectly based on their formula. They had to add in the “thresholds” of honor you needed per rank as their was none at the time, so they divided threshholds across all ranks. That isn’t goin away - the decay is.

i know, the calculators were wrong, as was your entire discord server. just like i said

Then why was it nearly identical/correct when blizzard “fixed their own issue” on their side?

All they did was make a calc based on ther formula given.

Their formula was implemented wrong.

look buddy clearly i’ve upset you but the fact remains you were wrong before and you’ll be wrong again
also lol you edited your post to remove “nearly right”

The fact remains that blizzard implemented their system differently than they announced it to us. You can cope and seethe all you like, but the only thing theyre doing is removing decay. This does not suddenly mean you can play 4 AVs a week to rank 14

its ok calm down, im sure you’ll be nearly right again

and I’m sure you wont be getting r14, nor do you still understand how the CP system works

its ok i can tell you’re nearly calm right now just like your calculations before were nearly right

They were correct once blizzard corrected the system they implemented that wasnt matching their formula.

The addon simply operated based off of the figures blizzard gives us. That’s not their fault blizzard screwed up the implementation.

lot of words to admit your calculators were wrong, i accept your concession

I see you are now dodging the fact that they were actually correct in tandem with blizzards written formula.

Once blizzard corrected their error, nothing was really off.

But sure, keep pretending the implementation was wrong and thats not the reason.

I assure you that removing decay has nothing to do with meeting honor threshholds, which is ultimately what you are hoping for
