The new PVP system needs to be explained better

Captain obvious

I donā€™t want to be wrong when answering this because I havenā€™t done any math but with the old system you couldnā€™t get R14 without BR14 at the end but you could push the bar ahead and not lose rank by getting BR13, which according to the math up there is 395000 honor. 300k even would not be enough as per how it was before as that would be between BR11 and BR12

I donā€™t know if I need to on this toon honestly, 11 was for the fast mount. Will I do 13 because itā€™s me and thatā€™s what Iā€™ll just end up doing? Maybeā€¦ Iā€™m not doing 14 on it regardless. Maybe I will on another toon because I get the ranking bug fast and the easiest cap of my life at 21k on a carried 52 in AV of all places made me want to go more.

Assuming that you earn partial CP if your honor is between the R13 and R14 caps, getting 450k should net you around 1000 CP, moving you about 1/5 of the way to R14.

For comparison, getting 500k will get you 1/3 of the way to R14 (1700 CP).

However, we wont know if the system works that way until tomorrow.

Iā€™ll be interested to know how it works after the reset :slight_smile:

How difficult would it be for blizzard to put an actual rank calculator up on the forums?

After reset, my character has now DOWNranked. Yep, you heard that right, I lost a rank from last week to this week after getting 37,500 honor.

Impenetrus-Mankrik went from First Sergeant last week down to Senior Sergeant this week.

Iā€™ve seen some stuff here that isnā€™t quite right based on my calculations. As a mathematician I was able to reverse engineer their post and understood it pretty well. I created a spreadsheet that allows you to see how much honor you need to cap and what expected rank you will get based on that cap.

Based on first week I went from rank 2 to rank 5 with getting 50k honor which was over the cap of the 45k I had calculated.

Hereā€™s the link to the spreadsheet:

EDIT: couldnā€™t direct link my spreadsheet earlier and had to scour the other forums to figure out how to do it lol.

How far into R5 did you get?

I started the week at R1 0%. I earned 48,771 honor, which was slightly over the predicted amount of honor for R6.

My rank after reset is R4, 60%.

That is exactly where I should be based on Blizzā€™s chart. I canā€™t speak for the accuracy of your honor predictions but they appear accurate.

The big takeway is that going past the honor cap for whatever it is 4 ranks above current was ā€œwasted,ā€ i.e. provided no additional bonus.

I was about half way through rank 2 and am about 75% through rank 5.

That looks about right.

Halfway through R2 is 3500 CP.

Maxed out R6 honor puts you high R5.

I was 80% into rank 2 and got 92k Honor and now Iā€™m 85% into Rank 5, so maybe anything over was wasted, not sure

It appears anything over the fourth rank above you is wasted.

I was rank 3, got 72.6k at 33% rank 5. Guess I should have pushed for a few more.

So the only thing I was unsure of when I made my spreadsheet was if the honor to CP conversion was based on your current rank or the rank 4 levels above. For rank 3 if the honor conversion is at rank 3 then you should have only needed 56,250. However if you use the honor conversion for rank 7 then you would have needed 109,375 honor. So clarification on that from a blue would be great.

If there anyone that went from 7-10 out there? Curious if max CP grants 3 ranks at this stage

the told you this would happen :expressionless:
enjoy the welfare epics

You can go from 7 to 10 if you are at a high 7 and max out. Itā€™s possible.

Anyone here who started from Rank 11 0% who pumped 500k and hit Rank 12?

The grind really isnā€™t much different than the previous system rank 1-13. You could hit rank 13 just as fast and with about the same amount of honor because climbing brackets wasnā€™t nearly as hard as back in 2019. The main difference is now rank 14 doesnā€™t require a 1mil+ honor week but instead 500k for about 3 weeks in a row.
