over the past 3 weeks I’ve earned ~20k honor in bg’s, and my rank has not moved up from 3 and 0%
I’ve been using Ranker to estimate my progress.
2 weeks ago it said I should be r3 and 80% with 11250 honor.
last week it says I should be r3 and 80% with 11250 honor.
Today it says I should be r3 and 80% with 11250 honor.
There is no purple bar behind my rank or progress in the PvP tab.
Do I need the 15-20k all in 1 week now to rank up a little? or is the interface buged? or have they not increased the rank cap yet? whats happening?

I’ve done a lot less pvp but still enough for scout I would think but no change. Must be bugged rn
I think you need like 24k in one single week?
Might be totally off here but idk why thats what came into my brain
(there is no rank decay as in you won de-rank if you dont pvp anymore)
but to rank up you need the entire bar in 1 week. And i thougjt it was 24k for 3 to 4 (could be totally off)
I dont think honor is additive week to week. You need to earn the value you need for a particular rank in a single week to achieve that rank.
The honor system is classic is still a mystery for me so I’m likely missing something, but if you want to hit rank 5, getting 45k in a week will do it for you.
For me, when trying for R3. It appeared that I needed to fill up the entire bar over at: github.io/ClassicEraHonorCalculator/calculator/3/0/20000
In order to get from R2 to R3.
Might be the same thing…where you need to get ~78k in one week.
to go from Rank 3 to Rank 5 you need 45k honor in a single weekend to go from rank 3 to Rank 4 you need 38k honor in a single weekend. There are breakpoints, don’t meet them, don’t level up. Check out a honor calc, you can also use copper coins for honor now so if you think you aren’t going to make it just turn them in 1 Silver coin == 1k honor.
there are no partial ranks, you need to fill the entire bar or you gain nothing
that addon was made for the classic era honor change and hasnt been updated for the SOD ranking

full rank or nothing?
so we need to crush 45k honor in 1 week to get r3/4… so when r14 comes around we’re gunna need 500k honor in 1 week?
I thought they were making this a little more casual friendly… no partial ranks?
Im probably not going to bother with PvP again this time around then… when i first read about this change, I thought it was actually a realistic thing to do some pvp each week, and then really grind it out at the end and get r14.
It’s absolutely WAY more casual friendly. It still takes a grind but grinding 500k in one week to hit rank 14 is ridiculously generous compared to how it was before. Being able to just take a break for a week or two and not down rank is a massive difference. Previously once you committed to grinding rank 14 you couldn’t stop, even skipping a single week could lose a month or more of progress. Imagine needing to grind 500k+ for weeks on end? Your also not competing with other players anymore so you don’t need to deal with all the drama around rankers and people bracket breaking.

Also yes. But at least you can take a break. Previously if you didn’t commit for six weeks straight literally all of your effort was flushed.
You can save those coins too and then burst them out in one week if you need help.
There are, i got to rank 3 80% by starting at 3 and getting 24000~ honor last week
I got 45k honor last week and got Rank 5 yesterday so that at least works lol
what do you mean by “take a break”, if we have to get 500k honor in 1 week to rank up, we have to get 500k honor in 1 week to rank up, right?
In classic if you didn’t continue to PVP your rank would decrease.
yes, in the current system. in vanilla there was a competitive and cumulative calculation done on rank assignment. which basically amounted to having to be the within the top 5 honor producers on the faction for approximately a month to hit rank14.
I mean you can get 500k 1 week, then choose to farm so hard the next week.
You literally had to allocate six back-to-back weeks to do the rank 14 grind or else it was completely pointless. Now, in theory, you can degen during turkey week, degen 2 weeks during Christmas holiday, yada yada throughout the year and eventually get there.
