Clarification on New Honor Rules

Posted 28th Feb 2008 06:26 PM by Maticus

Some people have been getting themselves confused about the new Honor rules in Patch 2.4. Here are the parts players are getting mixed up about:

* Diminishing returns on honor for kills is being eliminated.
* If a player dies 50 times or more in a battleground, they will no longer be worth honor for the remainder of that battle.

Does this mean that players will not be worth honor to to anyone after 50 kills? Neth tries to clear this up, then goes on to explain why Blizzard have brought this in:


It’s attached to you and your account. So if you personally kill someone 50 times over, you’re not going to be receiving anymore honor for them…

...We’ll see if we can update the patch note a bit to make it a bit more clear. It should be 50 kills with your character against someone else (Bobcleaver kills Billytarget 50 times) before they aren’t worth honor to you. This should also apply to each battleground and reset after each. Should this change or need more clarification, we’ll get that to you... 

...We’re removing the diminishing returns on kills completely, but at the same time, there still needs to be some limitation to simply killing the same target/people over and over. This isn’t an extreme limit by any means. Camping someone and killing them repeatedly though, while possible, is going to have a limitation.

If you’re camping and killing someone over 50 times, does that mean you’re actually a good PvPer?

TBH, it could be less in outdoor pvp… Perhaps they are preparing for that pvp zone in Northrend. On the other hand, as they reset kills in battlegrounds, they could have 50 kills in that zone, and 10 o so kills in the rest of the gaming world.

Apparently, there’s no limit in world PvP. If so, when would it reset? I don’t know how this is going to work in the new PvP zone in Northrend though, it could certainly be exploited, not just there but anywhere. I think I recall reading that Blizz will monitor for players who attempt to abuse the system.

Ok, this is what I conclude from this.  World PvP has died since the BGs came around.  This is Blizz’s fix for that.  HOWEVER, this is going to be abused all to hell now and the opposite is going to happen: world PvP is going to start running rampant and the BGs are going to die.

The fact they’re removing dimished returns in world PvP in a stupid move.  Now they’re going to have everybody whining on their forums about being camped for hours on end and nothing to deter it from happening.  Honestly, I can’t blame them though.  I’ve personally been the victim of a camper for over half an hour until I finally got fed up and logged, which of course was his/her/it’s entire point.  For some reason people get off on thinking they own WoW by camping people until they log.  But whatever.

I notice that they said there has to be some limitation, but hasn’t offered ANYTHING as to a limit at all.  Way to keep screwing with PvP Blizz!  The more they change, the more I’m starting to hate Blizz’s incompetence for PvP.  They should go back to focusing on PvE and leave PvP focus to other games who are going to do it correctly (like WHO).
