No Honor for Honorable Kills

[Norankpvp 0]

I've killed at least 10-20 horde over the past few days, and yet I do not receive an HK or any Honor towards a higher rank. I don't know if this is a bug for everyone. I've asked around my guild and several of them are having the same problem as me. Please fix this soon :)

Honor System is currently disabled in 1.2 and will be introduced in the 1.4 patch.

Than answer me this - Why do I keep killing people,when that grants me no honor? And why dose it feel so good?

Because you're an ass.

Agreed. I have helped many horde when I could have killed them. I have had it the other way around as well. I have also been camped and killed by many horde for no reason. I just want to get to 60. These types of players make that harder than it needs to be. I don't know why people feel like they have to kill others on sight. It gives you nothing. It just makes you an asshat. Also, does******.

As a priest, you can mind-control your enemies and buff them. Target them after they're MC'd and then buff them to break your channel. I'd normally only do it for lowbies, but more than once I would buff an entire group and end up having a dance party rather than getting camped while waiting for friends. Granted, this goes entirely against the point of playing on a PVP server, but I enjoyed it.

It hasn't bothered me much yet. Yes, it's unsatisfactory I agree but I find ways to get past it. When you run between zones try to stay near other players (preferably higher levels) and off the roadways. When in quest zones join a group or at stay least close by other players. Avoid any red players when you see them unless you really want to take a shot at one of them, which isn't very advisable. Many times I've run by red players in between zones and haven't been attacked since they were most likely questing too. If you do get engaged try your best to get away or try to get to reinforcements. If you can't get away then maybe its a good time for a 15-20+ minute pee or food break.

So far these tactics have worked for me the few times I've been in a bad situation. It sucks when I get engaged and die but I also find it a little fun to try to fight back. If you can get some other friendlies to join in and help you out or be the one to help out another friendly by ambushing their attacker that's fun.

Any explanations?

Bug, will be fixed later.

lol attacking opposing faction members is not being an ass, it's playing the pvp fighter/hunter game!

if you don't want to die, you got to defend yourself!

being an ass in pvp is more along the lines of attacking someone who has no chance to even run away from you even if they didn't get caught in a bad situation, so attacking greys for no reason that's being an ass but other than that... personally i attack people all the time, if they are green I would maybe neutral or I would make a soft attack and give them an extra chance to escape or something like that

the thing that can happen is if a place is overcrowded, you can't escape anymore, these are the two main things that can get "broken" in wow : players can attack greys at will (though they will lose honor then), and players can't defend themselves in an overcrowded place due to CC etc (balanced by server caps and game incentive to go different places)

honestly I think the rest of the game is pretty damn well balanced, even against the stealthed attacks there are ways to escape alive if you play well or when a orange or red attack you etc

 

basically, I would argue if you are not making evasive or defensive manoeuvres when you encounter an ennemy player, you are giving them the chance to kill you (or you are placing yourself in a position where you could kill them), basically increasing the tension

so I recommend as soon as you see someone if you don't want to fight them, show them by taking some distance maybe lol up to you that's what I actually do often before I attack -_-_- its damn fun game, the pvp game

can't wait for honor points system so I have more incentive to start actively hunting for enemies in the wild, without it I tend to mostly go for pve objectives and only fight who is on my way whereas with honor I sometimes just look for possible preys -_-

 

but anyway, I mean to say I think being an ass in pvp is insisting on shaming the other player who just lost for example, can be funny can feel bad, or the stuff like noob gankers with mega geared 60s going around killing as many greys as they can while spamming git gud all over forums that's bad behavior, there are other things you could call abuse but overall fighting outside is a lot of the fun in the game even if you don't get a reward for it.

I'll give another example, say I'm farming some elementals and a horde comes around and waves and start killing another elemental. I could just accept it and be friendly about it, but if I choose to attack him I hope he doesn't take it personal, for me that's the game! The other day a priest that I did that to just stood in place as I was attacking him and /cry. He marked a pause for it too so he had no chance to survive unless he'd start making his evasive moves rly soon. So I let him be. But people who would /sigh me because I attack them, I finish that fight np lol.

yet another example? if a green runs towards me like I wasn't there, I might throw faerie fire at him. If he doesn't react and runs up to me like he wants to just get past, maybe I shift into bear and start autoattacking. If he replies with attacks I'll start trying to kill him, if he makes evasives moves I'll play around and maybe let him leave or you know from there if they play well they will get away nicely

I don't attack greens all the time, but when it happens it can make a fun fight cause they have a chance even to win if they have some other advantage (say they're near 100% mana and you around 50% mana), and sometimes another guy gets involved and it can be a 1vs2 or 2vs2 or whatever which even 1vs2 you might win, lose, stuff happens idk what to say fun stuff cause balance is good there is depth in the fights so long as no overcrowding and no grey vs skull, escaping and scouting is really part of that game, if you are good at it you can dodge attackers even if they have more levels, and maybe even punish them for trying too hard to catch you

the only real pvp with a skill proved is arena or rated battleground when opposing parts has the same resources, are organized, have roles and are aware of the fact they are going to get resisted and are in the even positionalal situation, a duel is also a similar situation...rest is called world pvp and is a shitty gank by default.  I play this game more then 7 years, and it has always been shitty gank whatever they say about server PvP options. For the same reasons I try not to have deals with people which are fond of this process becuase it used to reflect on anything else in the game. A human is since a child or never :)

I spent a couple of hours picking off hordes at hillsbrad at the farmplace.. was great fun. Dont think I was an ass. But sure was annoying.. But I was alone vs 5-10 horde and several of them was higher level than me. I was lvl 31 dorf hunter!!

WoW should have disabled that u cant engage in world PvP against grey people.But still tho , it's a PvP server and in any other mmorpgs it is the same thing. 

The only difference is that their is only 1 way of getting XP which is questing hence killing mobs...Other games have alternative ways like u could dungeon farm to cap/Powerleveling/Some sort of PVP where u get XP / Buy Experience gems etc...which WoW doesn't have.

It's still not that bad here, in Nostalrius PvP server that was really bad.Every second u bump in to an enemy and u don't know if they will attack u or ignore u.

If u don't like world PvP then play a stealth class or a class which can heal.After reaching it to cap then create another char which u wanna and have the 1st char on follow then u won't get attacked.
