Here's a more in-depth explanation, Fendred:

I think I'm being cheated out of honor >_>...

For clarification, Morrisday, you're noting approximately only a 500 point difference from your Estimated to calculated totals?

Q u o t e:
I think it can happen when you zone into instances as well. Also, when you log out and back in again. Its a rather odd bug.


Aye. And one that is being looked into currently. *nod*

And the honor discrepancy occurred for yesterday's honor total?

I just wish to verify a few things, Morrisday, and—admittedly—I'm using you as a test subject. I hope you don't mind too terribly much. :)

Alright, so.

12/11/2007 23:44:34 GMT - You complete "Call to Arms: Alterac Valley."
12/11/2007 23:55:44 GMT - You log out.
12/12/2007 00:24:38 GMT - You log back in.
12/12/2007 00:32:21 GMT - You log out.

Those brief relogs (which occurred at approximately 4pm PST) likely account for that 500 or so discrepancy, Morrisday; any additional tidbits—or extra points—can likely be attributed to diminishing returns. :)

Thanks for letting me use your character as a sort of test dummy!

As for Monday's discrepancy, Hwai, I'm noting that you were actively participating in one of our available battlegrounds from approximately 8:45 GMT to ~10:00 GMT; this happens to be the time that nightly calculations are run.

To quote from earlier in this thread:

    If you happen to accrue honor during daily calculations, Morinzafer, there is a very large chance your honor will not display appropriately within your PvP tab the following day, as issues can arise with our internal calculations should the associated processes be interrupted with incoming data. While these issues may prevent your day's honor total from appearing as it should, this does not mean your honor has disappeared; it's merely not displaying as intended. If you refrain from PvPing during calculations the following evening (tonight, as it were), your combined daily totals--Yesterday and Today--should show up accordingly the next day.


This condition applies as well for last evening. :)

Q u o t e:
Syndri, are you saying that my honor is still there and during the next calculations it'll "reappear"?


Aye. If your character was PvPing during calculations (which I can confirm if necessary), the honor accrued the previous day is likely currently stuck in a sort of display "limbo"; it's attached to your character, though has yet to simply appear.

Just be sure that you do not queue up for any battlegrounds this evening past midnight PST. It's a relatively safe buffer by which to abide. :)

Q u o t e:
i loose as much as 500 honor points when the roll over occurs...when i went to bed I had 1841 honor for the day and the next morning I came back online and find i only get 1403


You seem to be fairly passionate regarding the collection of honor points, Limubai, and one who enjoys completing Daily Battleground Quests with fair regularity.

That said:
GM's in game seem near useless so...

    Battleground Daily Quests ("Call to Arms:") are currently awarding more honor than intended, Eriul; while the documented increase is only typically double (~850), some cases have suggested that estimated honor totals—located in your "Today" column—can stack multiple times (bearing consecutive zonings or log outs). During calculations, this additional honor is corrected by our system's scripts, allowing many players to believe that they've, in fact, "lost" points. Known issue, looking into it. :)


You're fine. Really. You're good. :)


Q u o t e:
im sorry but that isn’t right and i feel Blizzard is taking advantage of me and the other millions of players.


Please, please, please, please read this thread in its entirety, my friend. Many players have come here to express dissatisfaction or concern regarding the perceived mis-distribution of honor points only to leave feeling assured and with a more firm understanding of the specific mitigating factors which cause one's estimated honor to reflect inaccurately.
