Seriously, Bliz, what's going on? You give us 13 hours of maintenance today, then nerf honor.
As if, of course, honor gain wasn't abominable enough in this horrid pre-patch.

Was the character queuing for a Random Battleground or a specific one?
"Random Isle"
"Random"
Someone translate into Deer Bird Monstrosity speak for him.
10/28/2014 06:20 PMPosted by Skramp10/28/2014 06:14 PMPosted by RygariusThere's been a number of hotfixes around Battleground Honor gains and got clarification on how it's supposed to work.
At the beginning of Patch 6.0.2 there was no bonus Honor. We implemented a hotfix to grant 135 Honor for a win but mistakenly added it for all Battleground wins instead of only when queuing for a Random Battleground.
In patch 6.0.3, this was corrected and the bonus Honor is now only awarded for a win when queuing for a Random Battleground. Additionally, we restored the 45 Honor bonus for losing when queued for a Random Battleground.
If you want your bonus Honor, queue for Random Battlegrounds.
Just curious, why weren't these published?

Honor gains for specific queues are still half of what they were in 5.4.8. So basically still a stealth nerf to push everyone into randoms only. Thanks for the clarification now, but the fact that it was reduced so much, and then broken, and then hotfixed--zero of which were communicated or documented in patch notes--is embarrassing.
10/28/2014 07:19 PMPosted by GaerinSo my partner just completed a WSG random que and won. He had 25hks with 3kbs and only received 50pts. How is this getting 135pts for a random win?
This is broken, and now that people are posting its broken Blizz stops responding.

This isn't the case unfortunately.
10/29/2014 01:55 PMPosted by AvacynReally dislike that the bonus for random is not apparent, and that the bonus is only for random.

If you want to encourage random, add more incentives, do not take away from individual queuing.
Really bummed me out, was going to get some better gear before xpac, but now it's just a waste of time.
