Random BG daily

[Fat Tire]

Gave me 6200 honor for a Sota win.

Wow

and holy shit!

6k for a 5 min zerg win in AV! (non daily)

Did a WSG also random but without the daily bonus it netted 5200

Looking like the random bg win will net you 5k+ and a loss will be 3000-3500

Yea its just nice how much you get for a BG now

[Ughmahedhurtz]

Think of this as a temporary, pre-expansion pack retention bonus. Remember shortly before BC (or was it LK?) went live, they jacked up the honor in BGs, too. And then when the pack hit, the cost in honor for new items what, tripled? So enjoy the fruits while they mean something. ;) I know I will be.

Anyone got any update on XP? I do not think it changed but just wondering, I have a lvl 71 Rogue that I would love to throw into the BGs to get some levels on him :D

[defactoman]

they said XP would not change

I talked about this when i tested the honor on the PTR. A full AV gives about 7 to 7.5k depending on your amount of hks.

I have 6 minute waits for my BG (Horde-Reckoning), how is everyone else doing?

[Coltimar]

34 and counting for AV :/

We are on the same battlegroup and when I queued for random I only waited for maybe a minute before I got in.

horde vs. alliance? if he's horde its always 30min plus * (some battle groups don't have bad horde ques but most do)

Based off of my experiences last night it looks like que'ing for one particular game just isn't going to work anymore--I was in the que for AV for ~15-20 minutes and it hadn't popped yet. The random que gave it up in under 4 minutes four times in a row.

Also, I must say I love this change: Being able to wring this much honor out of BG's makes it reasonable to gear out a second/third team without feeling like you're throwing away months of time.

Good news! I'm subbing a warrior in for ret pally #4, and just hit 79. Honor gains will hopefully be much easier it sounds like.

I am horde and its almost instant when I select random.

Considering I got 11k honor from a full AV win on 1 character x4. We held all towers and destroyed theirs and received 11k. I will screenshot it again if it ever happens. Seems Nightfall horde got its act together atleast for one day , only lost 1 game outta like 20.

As for my comp that I play atm, it varies. I play either 1 war-3/4 healers(resto sham,druid,disc priest,holy pally). I sometimes sub in a Protret, DK or lock instead of the warrior depending on mood

Otherwise, I spec the casters to dmg and run ele,shadow,boom,afflic or sometimes just run 3 ele,shadow,aff lock, These are for bg only as I can do any variation of characters for 2s/3s.

@asonimie:

My Warrior and Shaman are at 73.5. I should have them 80 by the end of this weekend--And with this rate of honor gain they'll be geared as well as my DK/Rets in like two weeks tops :)
