I’ve been really bad at posting here. First I did not play much at all and then I have taken screenshots sometimes and have ideas for subjects, but never got around posting anything. Did not make any Happy Thoughts posts either. So I must ask for advance pardon with a bit of grumpy grumpy.
The BfA honor system was a continuation, or rather a spill-over, from the Legion system, as I already have complained about.
One excellent thing with the new system is that honor is account wide, so I can pvp on whatever 120 char I prefer. So I have fun with my MM hunter and my Horde frost mage. Some of the playing fields are a little different (“backwards” at first) but the whining is the same on both sides 😉
Today I hit Honor level 150. I get a new mount! Except I already got it in late Legion… I already knew that, but it just hit me in the face (figuratively) how daft this is. I cannot think of anything more consciously stupid. It’s like being revered with a very slow rep faction, and when a new expansion hit you are moved back to honored. I do the battlegrounds for Conquest, achievements ( a little) and because it is fun. But it wouldda been nicer if I had ca 180 honor level now instead of 150…
I promise I’ll write about something funnier next time 😉

Now if that mount had hit you in the face literally, that would be a fascinating story!
The honor system these days is so weird to me – account-wide is good! – but everything else about it feels like such an odd step back in terms of reward structure and especially the cosmetics.

Hehe 😀
What if we had to treat our mounts a bit better? E.g. if we never gave them food, they could throw us out of the saddle? Come to think of it, mounts are minions, not pets
The honor system is a sort of extra bonus, so I think it is rather nice. I do not do anything pvp but random battlegrounds, so it is slow gathering for me, but I basically like it. But the progress feels slower than in Legion.

This one time I watched the Q&A and heard Josh and Ion talking about how great the systems were and how cool RNG was for gear drops……and I laughed and laughed.

I guess RNG is their lazy solution?
The honor setback = they put effort in to do a conscious miscalculation.
The azerite traits thing… is that also carefully executed sh*t on purpose?

The only thing fertilized are discussions, forum threads and rants.

1…5…0?! Wow! Congratulations 🙂 It seems strange, the change to Honor, like a fix that was not thought through well enough. But still, 150!

At least my honor level is higher than my count in years…
