from blue:

Soon we'll be getting much more in-game information in the hands of players as to how many points a kill is worth, in addition to a lot more information on battlegrounds and how they'll tie into the honor system. Naturally, we also plan on addressing the various issues players are experiencing as a result of the system.

Lead designer Kalgan dropped this bit of information in passing that I'm going to pass along to you:

A solo level 60 killing a level 60 enemy: worth approximately 166 points if they're rank 1 (although within a few weeks many level 60s will be rank 3 or higher, in which case the value would be about 190 or more).

A solo level 60 killing a level 48 enemy: worth approximately 20 points.

Obviously, if you were grouped you would get significantly less per kill due to splitting the points.

This is something to consider when planning out your evening PvP excursion...


# of honorable kills means nothing. its just something cool for us to see how many horde we kill. the only thing that counts towards rank is contribution points. contribution points for killing in pvp are split up the exact same way xp is. so if we are in a raid we are getting shit points for contribution.

its all about 5 manning or soloing.

uhh not really. Its all relative people. a 3 on 3, is the same contribution as 40 on 40. At least from what I gather about contribution points. So what is the difference of being in a 5man group? Sure you get more points each kill, but you will get alot less kills, and killed more as well. Me for 1, I dont care, at this point I will pvp with all of you guys. Not gonna tell my friends/guildies, no, I will not pvp with you cause im greedy and want max points :P

Chron won't, but I will. Fu guys!

I refuse to PvP with 90% of you cuz you got no skills!

Grand Marshalls (me) should not be placed in the same groups as Privates and Scouts (you guys)!

actually chron, im not so sure thats accurate. I have talked to a lot of my friends that just soloed or 5maned 1st day...they got about 150-200 kills and had almost 1k more CP than me, and i had close to 500.

hehe I didnt make it clear i think. When raiding with 40 ppl the contribution points from 1 honorable kill is divided by 40, granted they all are within range (no idea what it is, but it is the same as exp from kills). So yes it may take longer to lvl, cause for every person you could solo, you would have to kill 40 in a maxed out raid.. Its the same thing with lvling, which is why many find it quicker to do solo, only difference in pvp you dont exactly pick your fights. And like I have said before I dont have a preference right now. I will 5man, or if peeps wanna raid I will, and if nobody wants to do any pvp then I will just solo these fuckers :)

In other words im not concerned with being the 1st person to climb the ladder.

Rofl

Me too.

guys you'll never catch up to me, i dont sleep lol. but from my experience when we first raided i had about 400 kills and about 4k contrib pts. I think it doesnt matter if ur in a raid or not but about how much dmg your actually contributing. The benefit of a raid group is the fact that there is tons of horde to unleash dmg on to stack up the contrib pts. i dont care how we pvp just that we do :) o and nam you will refer to me as grand marshal by tuesday :-P

ROFL ZERG ALL YER POINTS NO SKILL FAGGORT!

cant be based on damage because it would be unfair to healers.
