Upcoming pvp rank system changes?

[Mylar]

Anyone heard anything?

A guildie of mine(whos always been early with patch infos etc) mentioned that blizz would be changing the pvp ranking system come 1.8. He insisted that he wasnt joking, and told me to check the official forums. I did so, but didnt find anything. So basically im wondering if anyone else has heard anything about such a change.

Interesting...

[FallenDevil]

could be implying the 5% -> 1.4% population availability to obtain rank 10. some people are making a big deal of it... and since i DO have a life other then wow ive never had intentions of making to rank 10. So this SHOULDN'T affect anyone with a life.

80+ hours of straight PvP weekly = High Warlord = a very PVP guild + no job/school + no RL social activity(i.e no secks life)

Now doesnt that sound like oddles of fun?!?

Yet you have two level 60s and one lvl 54

ps: sorry couldn't resist :P

[FallenDevil]

actually 3 60's but i havent updated lately. No more the 30 "played" days on each one of those. warlock was fastest cuz its on pve...just grind on horde zones..17 days.

*correction* Druid is my first character 30days and 4 hours...took about 4 months...warrior took 2 months...warlock 1 monthish.

anyone looking for free powerle.....err nevermind. i could actually get paid for that. wow as a career...hmmmm :roll:

[Athrun]

fastest to 60 was my mage in 2 weeks

What did he say?

he said that it would be more casual friendly (he was abit vague)

and i honestly doubt it was the 5%->1.4% but who knows

[Mylar]

oh yeah, i just remembered that he said that "it would be more based on skill, then just time spent grinding instances" though i have NO idea how such a thing would be implemented. Ill report back when i have investigated further, check your deep throats everyone ^_^

What's wrong with the current system? There are faction rewards for everyone to get that just take time and the PVP rewards reward whoever is the most dedicated. I can't really think of any improvements other than making it 5% rather than 1.4%..

[dr_AllCOM3]

with the current system you could take rank14 people out of the calculation.

A warrior on my server quit his job so he could grind all day to rank 14. I predict this will be his future:

whats wrong with the current system is that you cant play alts, you cant really have anything lifeish and then expect to get rank10, even if it takes you half a year >.<

example: last week, i did alot of pvp, missed one entire day of wow, "lost" 1/4th of standing ones honor. if i had played that day from morning to evening i wouldve doubled my honorpool, and my standing wouldve skyrocketed. (that was alot of bad luck though since i played all the other days >.< but fact is you gotta play all the time incase a "lucky" day pops up)

Queues are fucked on various servers, on my server we usually wait between 30-45mins between each AB fight. Just enough time for it to be retardedly boring, and not enough time to do anything else. So in essence I spend one entire day of pvp, get 20-40k honor which is about 10% of what standing 1 makes in a week. (we have days where the queue is down to 20-30mins average, which your fucked if you miss since you get twice the honor of "normal")
The problem ofc is that we have a buttload of hordes wanting to pvp(queues for horde AV used to be 3hrs, with about 7-8 av's a day, while the same loliance just exited and requeued) while loliance has almost noone who does pvp. Hence they queue for 5mins max, play as many games as they cba and bugger off to pve, we pvp for hours and hours/with ofc 4/5th of it being in queues) and try to stack in abit of pve at offpeak hours.

Look at me im ranting again, fuck blizzards queue system, give us clustered bg servers or give us death!
