PvP Goodness

Jim

A quick look at the new PvP honour and reward system over the WoW Europe site. Linky.

Some of the rewards look quite spendid. Matching sets of armor etc...
Also it seems that if you have a high enough "honour rank" you wil get access to that (what looks like an instance dungeon) in Orgrimmar.

All in all it looks like a lot of nice new stuff. The only concern I have is that you can actually get spend the time raising your rank enough to get the rewards but then be later unable to use them simply because you cant get in enough game time to keep up your rank. It seems like a punishment for not playing the game enough

I don't see that a problem. If people are dedicated and invest their time, shouldn't they get rewards for that? It wouldn't be fair for the I-play-3-hours-a-week people to get as much of a reward as the people that play constantly.

I posted that link the other day in the lvl60 thread, looks very interesting indeed. Cheaper epic mount, nice weapons/armour. I hope there's some nice stuff thrown in for us Mages too, big spikey mail armor isn't exactly useful for us

Static, they haven't announced any dates yet afaik, so it could be a while, it's coming in at the same time with some other major PVP changes like Battlegrounds. They've so far avoided giving any dates from what I can tell.

Aren't the Battleground coming in with the next patch on March 19th?

Oh I understand that. As I see it thats more or less the way it is now. Even if both are lvl60 the 3hoursaweek guy is simply not going to have as good gear as the constant player (unless he's very lucky with drops). What I was thinking of is what if, say, 3h/w guy takes a week off work and puts some serious game time in to get himself bumped up a few ranks? Any rewards he gets are basically useless because once his scheduele returns to normal he wont be able to use them anymore. So why should he even bother with the Honor system?

..or maybe I'm just being whiney
