What about unrated bgs, people play that more..
so what does that mean? are there 2 different types of honor points now? do world pvp kills no longer reward honor? i can buy pvp gear with conquest points, but do i have to do rated PvP to upgrade the gear? why no solo que?i did engage in world PvP and battlegrounds because i could cap on conquest to pick a piece of gear.. i feel like this change just makes PvP so so much less desirable for most of the players..
I used to cap Conquest by doing one of each random BG (normal/epic/brawl). Guess that's still possible, but won't reward you with points for the weekly chest, making it a lot less attractive.
The main question is - how much u get for random epic and random bg win and lose?
Sigh... well so much for that then. Seems like i'll unsub from SL way before any of the other expansions since casually doing some PvP and getting rewarded is out of the window.Good job Blizz, you always know just how to ruin a good thing.
Then we need SOLO QUE to be implemented
Everyone yapping about "solo queue". No...Every other source to gain rewards cannot be obtained as solo. This makes things fair regardless of what you play, be it PvE or PvP.
That looks like a lot of honor but it's only 32 wins doing 2's, 25 doing 3's no bonus applied. Depending on win rate could still be the best way to get 3 choices, as you should get honor in losses - which should help those trying to get seasonal glad mounts - more people doing it more handed out usually - or was that just higher rating required?
Why are people upset about this? It's about 8 2v2 wins for 1 gear option. That can be much, much quicker than 3 raid bosses. Drop your MMR early in the season and it's even easier. If having to win 8 games is enough to put you off PvP, why do you even care anyway? Your gear from other content will be much stronger for the content you're playing.
If you aren't participating in rated PvP you shouldn't expect to get gear from the vault. You don't get gear from the vault for doing heroic dungeons or LFR either.I understand that some players want good gear from doing easy queueable content, but that's not how it shoule be. To throw those players a bone, Blizzard could buff the honor gear a little bit, so that players can get entry-level gear a bit easier/faster.
I guess they are doing this because when you lose in rated pvp you don't earn conquest, just when you win, but you always earn honor in rated pvp, even if you lose, so they are doing this to make less painfull for not pvpers to do pvp and still get a bonus roll from the weekly chest.
