the new Honour progress bar

[Lakashnik]

any1 else think this is kinda pointless?
sure it shows how much ur into the rank but u as its based on a curve u could have alot more to do to get the next rank than u think if loadz of other people did more pvp.
it updates once a week with the ranks which just makes me think. meh big wow bit late to know i needed that much honour.
thats my biggest beef with system in general. u have to wait a week for it all. iknow its based on a curve which means they cant have it auto update because it would be hard with the amount of honour people have always changing which is y they do it at server downtime each week. but would it really be that hard to make a program to track every1s progress and amouns of honour and auto adjust itself? maybe it really but i have played a bunch of games where people made self ranking systems that would auto update.
my thoughts its basically like a giant scoreboard which are used in the BGs anyway except with honour? so whoever had most honour has highest rank and all. just make it so it updates every minute or so and adjusts ur rank if u get the required honour.
or i have got the tottaly worng end of the stick.

and incase ur wondering this was prompted by my pvping most of last week to get the rank so i could use the pvp bracer as mine sucks. then when it updates the ranks and gives me this new honour bar i am literally like 1%away from the required rank but i have to wait another week to use it.

Yeah, because updating for everyone on the server every minute would help the server run much better.

A bit of a strange question but does anyone know if the diminishing cp’s are based on 24hrs from the first kill or is it reset at a fixed time. Say 12 pm.

If it’s a fixed time then I guess the best way to maximise cp’s is to enter the BG’s a hour or so before the reset.

 

[Lakashnik]

dont think its a set time. i think it depends.
take WSG for example. im pretty sure when i enter an kill a bunch of people then go again and some of the people from before are in there again im pretty sure they are reset to full Honour. otherwise would be abit sucky.
probly tottaly wrong as then people could abuse this in AV. just go in kill a bunch then exit and re-enter to kill mroe for full honour again.

Afran, i doubt it would take up that much server power. just make it a simple system that auto sweeps thru every1 kinda thing. to check how much honour they have got. i really dont see how it would be that hard. but then again im not a programmer.
daoc could manage to auto update ur RPs every kill ofc it didnt have to compare it to every1 elses on the server but wouldnt have thought that would take alot to do.

How about updating it once per day like they already do with honour and kills count?

It's just there for a rough guide anyway, I'd much rather know generally how much more CP I need rather than have to guess.

Obviously update every day would be more useful than every week.

I dont know if my Rank-Bar is playing up somewhat, when the patch was released it looked like the attachment shown below, this got me oh so excited as i was a whisker away from becoming Grunt.

I went into Battlegrounds, all hunky dorey, and then i checked again and found that it was half the way across instead of nearly full. This confused me somewhat.

Altho now its back to were it is now, so i dont know :/....

Guess im gonna have to wait until Wednesday... gonna be along week

Have found the bar can display incorrectly at times, relog usually fixes it. So you have still gained honor, not lost any - Just wait till the next update.

 

[Lakashnik]

update today
gonna go from master sergeant (rank4) to at least knight (rank6)
been in grp with the WSG pvp gods of alliance for 3or4days. almost tripled mylifetime honour in 3days lol still 1 horde grp who are fully opted we can beat maybe once in 10times if we have a good grp.
but winning 10+times a day owns. got 60k honour on 1st day i spent in there we won alot

Updating the bar/ranks on a daily basis would be good I think, better than the current weekly system.

Also, in regards to WSG, I too think every1 becomes a new honour kill up reentering the BG. So if you killed them in 1 BG and see them again in the next BG, they should be worth full honour again on the first kill. The only problem with WSG that you can only fight 10 people so when you get passed around 40-50 kills, you wont be gaining anymore honour So for me when I play my lvl 30 BG hunter and rack up over 100 kills in 1 BG, I only get honour for about half of the kills... kinda sucks.

 

[Danya]

Bonus honour is your friend.

 

[twuth]

this past wed morning, rank updated about an hour before the server went down for maintenance, this may be a sign that they have the technology to hopefully soon implement daily ranks

the best thing about getting invited to the guild grp who im friends with is that most matches last no more than 20mins unless its the horde set grp which can last upto 2hours+ if we have a proper grp set up.
get about 30ish HK per match maybe less but as the priest im usually supporting the FC while our rogues do the dirty work. dont mind tho when u get 1600ish bonus honour x3 every hour. can happily get 30-40honour a day from a evenings pvp.
altho most of the time hlf the grps all just leave when they see they are fighting our team so its a straight 15min run an grab flag bring back with no1 even caring about our FC lol.

nice ;p

 

[Lakashnik]

nice ;p

just a shame it gets abit tiresome. i do much prefer the long battles cos its more interesting. there has been 1 set horde guild grp that we have only ever beaton once with a specialised grp.
shamans are such whores. and the bug in horde base so they can run the flag up by their GY tottaly sucks ass

Don't think it was ever an issue of technology why they do it weekly, more how they want the system to run.

Bleh, that sounds dull. Shame you miss a lot of fun fights due to that.
