Rep Rewards

Mordivine · 04-10-2006, 12:29 PM

I am currently working my way towards Exaulted with AB so that i can get the staff and then aiming for AV exaulted to get the shadow off hand and the main hand dagger from AB.

My question is, are the rep rewards still going to be there with the new honour system / pvp system being brought out in TBC.

I doubt i will be getting exaulted any time soon but if the rep rewards are going then i can probably spend my time levelling instead of PvPing.

So im guessing that no one knows if the rep rewards will remain when TBC comes out.

well theres been nothing really said about it, though i did see a screeny of lvl 70 version of the TUF.

although i have no evidence i suspect those items will still be in game, and higher level versions, but like the new stuff it will be buyable by using the honor points you gain.

of course that is just speculation, but makes sence to me.

If you want to get exalted with AV and AB, I suggest you work on AV first, as it will go many many many many times faster than anything else.

So a blue has said that all current PvP and rep rewards will be worked into the new system, but the reputation based rewards are going away. It'll all be honor-points based.

I'm still wondering how they are going to do consumables like combat healing/mana pots and AV arrows/bullets.

If you need to spend honor points to get a consumable, that's gonna suck.... unless they're hella cheap.

well, if you spend pretty much all your time in the battlegrounds or fighting in general, you tend not to make that much gold, so having it as part of the honor point system kind of makes sence.

of course it if costs to much noone would but them, but really there not the be all and end all of fighting.

i dont really use them much, and i didnt use them at all untill i had all the stuff i wanted from battlegrounds.

i mean when your in there most of the time, making gold is not gonna happen, take most of the highwarlords they end up borrowing gold(or worse)to get there items, spending added gold on pots while doing the grind is a potential money killer.

although the pots dont appear to cost that much(cant remember how much they are as like i said dont use em often)but over time when you earn nothing it can cost a lot.

so for me it would make sence that they are included in the points system.

plus you cant take stuff like that in to the arenas(iirc) so not going to be such a major issue there anyway.

but i agree that they should be cheap, but not so cheap that you rely on them, they should be a nice aid, not something you chug everytime the cool down has finished.

The pots are either 9s for a healing or 11s for a mana. I found them nice for PvE.. while PvP was more of a hobby. I guess this isn't want they were really for =]

Without any rank or rep levels, you can't really achieve what is currently done. Currently if you're not rank 6 you can't buy pots... or if you're not revered with AV you can't buy arrows (which actually aren't cheap).

Now you have points... and points is points is points. There really is not way to say, you need to do a bit of work once before you have access to these cool things. Now it's you have to do a little work every time, or hardly any work every time.

I guess we need to wait and see anyways.

Oh so a blue said yesterday that everyone is starting from ground zero honor wise. If you were a private or grand marshal you're all equal... well for the first second you log on... then the grand marshal will probably squish the private like an ant. Kinda the way Blizzard is hoping.... people who have skill will quickly raise again in points/arena standing.

I heard that once we're all at zero again, we'll still have the option of keeping a "display" rank based on our highest PVP rank to date. No?

so theres no point farming rep with The Defillers?
or just go crazy and hope you hit Exaulted before xPac?
