New PVP update on ERA coming aug 23

What exactly does this mean, do we get to keep our ranks we got up until the 15th?

“Prepare for a new era of PvP when the 1.14.4 content update goes live on 23 August. With the arrival of this update, please be advised that your region’s weekly maintenance period during the week of August 15 will be the final time that Honor updates will be performed before the old system is retired. Any ranking progress you make after that date will not be retained after 1.14.4 is released on 23 August.”

Please someone let me know so I don’t feel like i’m wasting my time trying to rank up beforehand…

Maybe everyone is reset to rank zero? Not certain.

IMO they should award max rank gained and let players start there.

Highly doubt they’re going to take a rank 10 and make them start over. Im assuming you will start at the very beginning of your current rank.

Lets say a R14 decayed to like R1 over a long time…

Will they be R1 or 14?

curious.

Source?

They taking blue and epic pvp gear off the people who earned it as well?

Rank 1.

Read the quote. They’re not doing current honor updates after a certain date and then the new system is rolling out shortly thereafter. After that specified date (week of Aug 15th), any progress you make doesn’t count towards the new system.

So, in other words, wherever you are on the week of august 15th is where you will start off at on Aug 23rd.

This seems like the most likely outcome, maybe… Their wording is so confusing to me… stopped pvping and lost a rank, guess I’ll try to salvage what I can before the reset… Thanks guys… A blue post in here would be much appreciated to clear things up!

If this were true then why would they say this

Notice they said ‘start’ ranking. If ranks weren’t wiped with the new system you could totally start ranking just fine until the 15th of aug.

Possibly…

I hit rank 10 (my highest Classic rank to date) sometime in summer of 2020. Since the. My highest rank has been rank 5, and I am currently rank 2.

Should I start at rank 10? Planning on at least getting to rank 12, so starting at rank 10 would be huge for me. But do I deserve it? I honestly don’t think so.

Literally never going to happen. They have a limit of 3 posts per year here and the rest is saved for random social media or obscure streams.

Its pretty vague but having read the whole post it would appear that will be the case and you are correct.

I guess they have no choice but to start everyone over. I still think people who hit R14 (or any level of pvp gear) will be able to keep their gear though.

Yeah for sure

Based on the original blue post I imagine that everyone will be set to 0. They made it fairly clear to stop ranking if you arent going to hit 14 before the patch comes in…

should be zero impact on any gear already gained.

They announced they would do exactly this like 2 months ago :joy:

There would be no need for a warning if you got to keep your rank after the reset. For example, if it was not a full reset to zero, you would just continue your progress from Rank 13.

I’m interested to see if people starting PVPing at lower levels with the reset.

Oh ye…maybe I should finish up my 19 twink since I have nothing else to do until aug 23!

Okay so they said first they’re going to reset the ranking system for the new system, but now they’re saying " Any ranking progress you make after that date will not be retained " Making it seem like we may not get the progress we made to the next rank, but will still have our rank and it will be set to 0 (honor gained since that rank)… I still don’t know… Whatever i’m done with this topic lmao

Why bother gloating when I was already corrected by another poster and conceded the point? My query was centered more around the gear aspect of the reset since that’s a part of the ranking process.

It doesn’t say anything in regard to people who already hit R14 or what happens to lifetime HKs in this reset. As in, is your old highest rank still going to show in the pvp window along with your previous HK totals or is that all reset too? Whats the deal with pvp gear?

If those are not reset and people are presumably going to get to keep their previously earned gear how is it they cant carry over your current rank as well? That seems a little contradictory. That blue post does not paint a complete picture.

In all likelihood, lifetime stats will be retained, no gear will be removed, and all players will be set to rank 0.
