Honour Calculations
by Issuntril | 03/12/2007 13:31:18 Hi guys, As some of you are no doubt aware, we have been receiving reports from players across all realms and battlegroups concerning discrepancies between their estimated honour and final amount awarded. This feedback has been passed over to our technical team for further investigation and troubleshooting. We apologise for any inconvenience caused in the meantime, and thank you for your continued patience and understanding.

by Issuntril | 13/12/2007 11:32:40 An update on this issue for you all... After thorough investigation by our technical team we can confirm that the final amount of honour players are receiving is correct, and that the end-of-day calculations are working correctly. The discrepancies players seem to be experiencing appear to be caused by incorrect estimates in your character windows, rather than a problem with the actual daily update. We are still investigating the issues with the honour estimate, and we will keep you updated with any further developments. We apologise for any inconvenience and confusion caused in the meantime. Thanks, Issuntril |
| by Issuntril | 14/12/2007 17:44:17 To clear things up for you a little further, here is a list of the main factors which can cause a difference between your honour estimate in your character window, and the amount awarded daily. There is a difference between the honour really won and the estimated honour gain in the PvP tab of your character window. This difference is due to a display problem. The honour won is the correct amount. The estimated honour display tends to show a higher value for these three reasons. 1. The amount of honour given by the daily PvP quest is accurate. But due to a display issue, once the quest is turned in, if you zone into an instance, arena, battleground, etc., the honour display will have gone up without reason (generally between 400 and 600 points but sometimes more). 2. Killing another player several times gets you diminishing returns. Each subsequent kill after the initial kill yields 10% less honour, until the reward eventually reaches zero. Note that the Honour calculations that appear in-game do not take these diminishing returns into account. 3. The daily calculation that computes the honour gained runs during the night (sometime between midnight and 2 AM). But your character is only updated if you quit the game (or are disconnected). Thus, if you play at the same time as the calculation is running and you quit the game after the script is over, the honour points you won will be accurately calculated but your estimated honour points will display as zero, even if you have won honour in the time lapse between the script has finished running and you quit the game. Those honour points are although taken into account and will be added to your usable honour points total the next day. All these reasons explain the difference between honour gained and honour estimated. Rest assured the honour you win is always accurately calculated. |
