Personally I just love the old treant form, I was bugging my guildies to see if they'd learned the glyph the second it went live so I could glyph it asap. Can't stand the new model personally!

Blizz didn't want people guild shopping simply because of the the guild talents a guild might have, and they didn't want there to be many arguments of who gets to spend the points, and on what. However, they're now doing guild levels up to 20, with automatic abilities at each level. So it's more like automatic spells than talents, in that you get goodies, but they're chosen for you. It's my guess that en total the list will be well rounded so that both pvp and pve guilds will get both types of abilities, but more abilities will be gaine the more enriched the guild isKironohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08337681957376907633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4955294289842361670.post-27083543646923828142010-04-09T10:16:14.552-07:002010-04-09T10:16:14.552-07:00Ehh..you could be right but I don't think so. ...Ehh..you could be right but I don't think so.

It is nice to have a way to quantify what you're doing. If HONOR is a currency to you, then you want to know 'how much' of something you need to do to reach a goal. <br /><br />Its like leveling up. When you can see how much XP you're getting per kill and determine how many mobs need their ticket punched for the re-spawn line.<br /><br />Good stuff, even if Blizz seems to be using a random number generator at times :DBig Wallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04008974332199829998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4955294289842361670.post-78535437877034517872010-03-18T16:44:20.687-07:002010-03-18T16:44:20.687-07:00ooo.

I was distracted by the lines not converging and didn't notice the y-axis.<br /><br />Do you think perhaps the honor is shared amongst people who get the kill? Like, say, that each one is worth 20.9 but if it gets allocated between 2-3 players, the total honor is reduced?<br /><br />If so, that would suck. I get HKs for standing around the LM when the fight rages at BS, which really isn't right.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4955294289842361670.post-78123550419865151462010-03-18T13:53:13.695-07:002010-03-18T13:53:13.695-07:00Yeah but that's missing the point -- when I we...Yeah but that's missing the point -- when I went into AB to check with the scrolling text, the honor was between 8-12 (much like the graph shows) and when I was close to a node it went up to 15 -- like the base was 10 and the 50% bonus bumped it to 15. <br /><br />BUT you would expect that if an HK was 20.9, the bonus would put it to 31.35 -- which is way off these numbers anyway.

While IRL you can find ways to counter that, within Warcraft there are both limits enforced by class balance, and limits of coordination within a PuG. Could a team of 20 experienced, skilled players working together take out 40 puggers? Maybe. But they'd have to be nearly twink levels to do so.<br /><br />Perhaps if everyone had Engineering, you could chain bomb the opposition into submission. Or blow your own way into the keep from the Hangar. <br /><br />But other than that, I think the only solution is to get more bodies into the BG.
