Hi.
Can we please, please get a blue answer on the community’s reaction to the Honor Rate nerf, so we have an idea of what Blizzard thoughts are on the matter ?
On US forums, the three main posts covering this subject have been respectively viewed 30 000, 16 000 & 5 000 times, in less than a day :
A tremendous majority of the community, might as well call it the whole of the community, is extremely unhappy with the situation, and we would argue quite legitimately so.
Arguments as to why we are unhappy have been written down a thousand times over (see links above), and I won’t dive into details, but suffice to say that the ratio:
Amount of honor required for weapons and 6 set pieces
versus Honor rate
versus Pre-patch time length
is so very, very off.
Let us assume insta queues, a 50% winrate, and 103 275 honor points to grind, one can expect to have to play ~160h (at ~650 honor /h, which is far from granted, cf. those 20 minutes long AV that grant you 28 honor points, and the insta queue time premise).
A nerf may have been needed, but please sensibly adjust.
Needless to say, this source of frustration comes after many recent others.
@Blizzard & Dev’s:
Please do give an update on the honor rate matter.
Please, fix it.
Please, do so sooner rather than later.
Please, let us have fun.
