hey where we’re limited to rank 3, does that mean there are only 3 brackets, or are there still 14 brackets?
Phase 1: 1-3
Phase 2: 4-6
Phase 3: 7-9
Phase 4: 10-14
My guess. Might even spice it up a bit and make Phase 2 have the ranks of 4-8 (due to 15 levels inbetween instead of P3 and P4 only being 10 levels per).
So… above or…
Phase 1: 1-3
Phase 2: 4-8
Phase 3: 9-11
Phase 4: 12-14
be clear you are talking about brackets or ranks?
I guess I misunderstood. I thought you meant ranks, my bad.
As for Brackets… 10-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60.
I’m sure they said somewhere (could be wrong, misremembing, dreamed it, we don’t really know) that when the level cap increases, previous brackets (such as 25) aren’t “cap” so they fall back into the 20-29.
I’m really hoping they add a pvp gear progression for each phase. Like you get gear every 25% through a rank, or something. Now would be the perfect time to have a pvp gear grind, as more active players are out of things to do. No reason to not grant this.
no i mean ranking brackets. we’re in the classic honor system now.
which means you kill people and get honor, but how does that honor turn into rank?
at the end of the week everyone that participated in pvp are sorted by the amount of honor they got the person who got the most honor would be in the top bracket and depending on the number of participants maybe a coupe of others. As such ranking was done relative to everyone else on your faction of your server.
in vanilla there was also 20% decay of your ranking points per week (blizz has said decay will not happen in SoD) and in vanilla there were 14 ranks and 14 brackets and the 14 brackets awarded ranking points such that if you’re rank 4 and you want to progress toward rank 5 you would need to land in the 5th bracket or higher to overcome the weekly decay.
what i am wondering is if there are still 14 ranking brackets, or if we only have 3 ranking brackets. If only 3 brackets then some people on the lower end of their bracket would be positively affected, while others on the upper end of their bracket would be negatively affected vs having the finer granularity of 14 brackets.
(for those who didn’t play vanilla/vanilla classic this system became very toxic meaning you needed to create tons of lvl 1 alts to get 1 hk with per week because more characters pvping = more per bracket, and everyone on your server would shun you if you acheived a significantly higher rank than you had permission to. Particularly in the upper brackets where doing so could add a month to someone else’s grind (the a mount of effort needed in the upper ranks to say ahead of decay was NUTS, i believe the saying at the time was that if you made it to rank 12 you were only halfway to rank 14)
Sounds good to me.
I would think there are still 13 brackets. Seems unnecessary to go and change the calculations when they can just cap ranks and be done with it. Probably hard to test it seeing as we are capped at rank 3 though.
Brackets appear to still exist, yes.
i updated this comment to explain it better:
