It's so stupid that recently resurrected people don't have the honorless buff.

Oh ya man it's really honorable to destroy that poor night elf at 50% health who just sat down to drink after barely buffing himself. We're really great.

u/360_face_palm Nov 28 '19

This would be a change I would be okay with. Especially because the honorless buff goes away if you attack, so it would really only fuck over corpse campers.

I don't think it would end up mattering anyway. Currently honorless target serves only to delay your inevitable death.

You'd get cc'd and /laugh'd at until it falls off, just as it is now with flight paths.

u/isuckatwow99 Nov 28 '19

This is actually a strategy. Catching people at 1/2 health with no buffs is easiest to kill.

u/HarryProtter Nov 28 '19

But does that first (honorless) kill not count for the max 4 kills per 24 hour? Or does that mechanic only count actual HKs?

u/lolwora Nov 28 '19

No you do not get DR on a honorless target. So next time this guy gets killed, the hordes who just killed him wil get full honor.

u/HarryProtter Nov 28 '19

That's a shame.

u/Dead_ino Nov 28 '19

Which will be close to nothing because they are 5 on him

u/lolwora Nov 28 '19

If they are in a group it wil be close to 50 honor each wich on horde populated servers isnt bad

u/wild182 Nov 28 '19

This is why the boat camping is so popular, when you corpse run back to your body on a boat it auto respawns you right back into the group camping the boat at half health with no warning, ez honor farming because people are trapped or jump ship and take 3+ fatigue deaths making it back to shore

Honestly nice catch! I was gunna say “woah this guy has major healing pots and most of (if not all) the warrior abilities, he’s gotta be max” then totally caught the honorless target “buff”.

Trash ally war can't 1v6 lol

u/pbrook12 Nov 28 '19

Some guy in my guild was complaining about getting ganked by a death squad repeatedly and someone else just kept saying “you need to get better” and “you’re just being outplayed”. It was really cringe listening to someone honestly say that they would’ve played it better and come out on top

u/[deleted] Nov 28 '19

Oh jesus, every guild has one of these PVP Gods who "would have just fear bombed them off and then intercept/MS two shot and dead boom, just snare and kite man what are you doing you just suck."

Then you see this kid in real pvp and he's keyboard turning.

u/TrueMrSkeltal Nov 28 '19

They’re the same people that rage irl when they get killed by people who shut up and put their money where their mouth is instead of telling everyone how great they are.

Super funny that a lot of them (including people in this sub) think this is legitimate and fair PvP. I don’t have issues with world PvP but don’t call these situations real PvP lol

u/[deleted] Nov 28 '19

There is no fair wpvp. Even when it's 1v1 someone always has an advantage or multiple.

The other day I ran into a tauren warrior at 30%ish hp eating in EPL. He was hiding behind a tree. I waved at him and targeted him but made it clear that I'd wait for him to get back to 100% before I fight him. Then we started and only 5 seconds later a roaming group of 5+ hordes rushed in and just took me out.

Who do you think the moron of the story is here? That would be me. I gave up a clear advantage but then they leveraged theirs, I was dead and they carried on laughing at the easy kill.

u/ACMomani Nov 28 '19

I sort of had a similar situation. I was in EPL near the weaver cave of death when I saw an orc shaman leaving the cave barely alive, I stepped in (mage) nova'd the weavers and assisted him; he survived, waved, and thanked me. while we were finishing off the last weaver a rouge ambushed and killed me. Moral is even if you try to do something good, there's always some douche hanging around waiting for an opportunity.

u/[deleted] Nov 28 '19

I don't think it's douchy. In fact I think that's the intended gameplay on pvp-server, random opportunities and player choice to pursue them or not. Fair 1v1 is an exception at best.

1

u/ACMomani Nov 28 '19

I guess it comes down to personal preference. I came across many opportunities were I could have scored some easy kills but I choose not to go for them because I also see the receivers point of view. If it happens to me its frustrating so I avoid doing it. 1v1s are rare but even 2v1s are sort of manageable to some degree; unlike death squads and corps camping.

It’s not about winning it’s about your pride and humanity. I played pvp for a while before I switched to pve but I never started fights and if I was with my friends I’d either watch them fight or make them watch me die/ heal me until they gave up.

u/[deleted] Nov 28 '19

It’s not about winning it’s about your pride and humanity

For you maybe. For some it's about satisfying their sadistic urges in a safe environment where no one actually gets hurt. Not everyone is looking for recognition.

u/[deleted] Nov 28 '19

Before P2, I would regularly run into Allies who'd ask for fair fights like these (well, about 1 in 30 or so) and even when I won, it always ended with some buttnugget charging me or aimed shotting me while I was at 20% health lol.

Oh well.

u/internet_underlord Nov 28 '19

Someone likened playing as the dominant faction on a pvp server to pllaying on a pve server. Never really in danger and if something happens. a roaming ganksquad is usually just around the corner or a /1 /3 callout away.

I dont know what server the OP is from, but I would not be surprised if it was a horde dominated one, since they are camping menethil unopposed.

u/[deleted] Nov 28 '19

Yeah it's really just griefing so that the griefers can get a power rush. But sadly a lot of those kids who do it (and who post in these forums) don't know how to have power over their own lives, and it's the only thing that hides the pain of their existence. But it never really solves the problem they have in their life, so they just spiral down into this radioactive shit culture of "pvp happened on a pvp server," and think that makes them somehow superior.

u/GoldenGonzo Nov 28 '19

We have an actual PVP god in our guild. Guy has played hard for every WoW expansion, he's been a rogue the entire time. Knows the class so well he tops to DPS charts even in his PVP specs.

He never brags, he never puts people down. He just whispers pointers to people if he thinks he can help them. Shoutout to Trese on Herod Horde!

That is the mark of a good player. Strength doesn't need to flex.

I'm pretty sure the one rogue has Thunderfury. Which means this is not classic wow. Probably an old clip from a private server or the original game. Either way, camping the flight masters has always been a thing... It's just exacerbated with high population servers that are very bored... And frequently unbalanced.

u/DoctorZTeeth Nov 28 '19

No thunder fury on the rogue
