What are we doing about the honor level problem?

[Hashbrowns]

It looks like brackets are split into a 0-49 honor level and 50+.

This sounds intentional, it's a way to balance new players to the game and old, like xpon and xpoff. I honestly don't know if they plan to fix this...

Vote in the poll please and post any new info/blue posts you see on this issue here, thanks!

So that means majority of the twinks would be 50+ thus making your games vs twinks and not filled with levelers


Isn't this a good thing?

Maybe, unless you didn't play Legion in which case you are in 0-49 for a while. Currently the 50+ Qs are 40-60 mins from what I hear.

Exactly! I am about honor lvl90 I have yet to find a Battleground. I have been queueing alone and with friends for about 4 hours total.

I think the most important in any game is the realiability of game-finding. I can't even play with this system so far.

a bunch of my twinks have a ton of honor kills from before 8.0 but they didn't get any honor level exp for them, some of them did get honor exp rewarded for the kills they already had, system seems broken so who knows, it might get changed

The problem is that at low level, the game is much simpler to understand and abilities aren't so overwhelming. Theres no need to separate skill. Sure there will be some that play like a grandma, but most gamers can adapt to low lvl pvp fairly well. The learning curve isn't that high in terms of combat. Now with WSG tactics, it gets more intuitive. But the best way for those people to learn is to play against more skilled players, and WITH more skilled players. Adapt or die

You only got honor levels from 110. Anything past the patch can be earned at all levels but anything gotten straight away is only from 110.

Yeah...
A feature of allowing me not to play after I got the expansion. I am just glad I didn’t fork out any real money for it.

Can you make a new account and transfer your twink over? Or will the honor lvl follow?

The honor level follows. I have a friend with multiple linked accounts. When we queued up for 29s their honor levels were the same and they were both gaining honor exp, essentially doubling the honor gain for the accounts.

Beats me

 

[Veechard]

linked accounts under same b.net yes, brand new bnet no, unless u xfer ur 110 aswell

What about logging in? If you login to your 19 while it’s on your 110 account with high rank, will it make that 19 high rank? If so, then whoever has a high rank account would want to xfer twink off before logging into twink

Ya. I transferred 2 x 29's to a UNLINKED account and my honor level 51 was reset to zero.

 

[Allybeboba]

Have to wait it out and hope Blizzard fixes the issue or play on an account that doesn’t have that much honor built up.
Either way is fine with me. I only play video games a few hours a week, if even that much.
It would be nice if Blizzard gets around to fixing the issue though. When I decide I want play a couple lowbie PvP BGs it would be nice to be able to do it on my main one of our main accounts.

[Tiptoe]

lets all just quit

 

[SkunkyMunky]

Just got a 20 minute average wait time on my level 102 DH (account is Honor Level 243) gonna wait and see if the queue pops though.

 

[Dimitri]

hope this gets fixed fast, cus that would mean a ton more twinks in bgs, and also meaning even faster Qs
