"Many months ago I started looking into the pvp system. I gathered data, tried to find more information as I was working toward a higher rank myself. I now feel that I understand the pvp system very well and I can make a definite post about its intricacy. This guide will attempt to explain how the pvp system works as a whole. How you gain rank, the important of standing, the impact of honor decay, and everything else. Credits: First thing first, credit where it is due. HighRfrequenC (from those very boards) was extremely useful in finding information. He eventually found a post on the main blizzard forum by Jargar from the Bloodhoof realm which had a metric ton of information about the pvp system. The reason why I am writting this guide is because Allakhazam simply doesn't have a guide on the topic and I'm hoping to have one guide with all the answers, rather then multiple forum threads. All the information in here mostly come from somewhere else and I've only gathered it into one guide and cross referenced the date with the one I had gathered. So with that being said, HighRfrequenC from Allakhazam, Jargar from Bloodhoof (even tho we never spoke), I salute you :), you guys did most of the work. Sources: thread.asp...post5286625 - Jargar's original thread. How do I gain rank. The quick answer is that you gain Rank by gaining Honor. Your amount of honor is then compared to all those on your faction on the server to determine your standing for the week. Depending on your standing you will then gain a certain amount of 'rating' point - the higher your standing, the more rating point you gain. You also lose some rating point to 'decay', as long as you gain more rating point from your standing then you lose from decay, you will progress into the pvp system.

As you reach a certain amount of rating point, you will be promoted to the next rank. That's the jist of it... but it truly doesn't explain all that much, now does it. I'll be breaking down the information above, and hopefully by the end, everybody will understand. How do I gain Honor. You gain rank by gaining Honor. There is couple way to gain honor: - Killing a player of the opposite faction within the proper level range (Any player who's level is not gray to you will yield honor). wow gold - Reaching certain milestone in a Battleground. All battleground score screen have a 'bonus honor' column, which show you how much bonus honor you have earned. Contary to popular belief, you do not need to stay until the game end to get that bonus honor - if it is the column, you've already earned it. wow gold - Turning in 3 Battleground token. On top of a reputation boost, it also give you a small honor bonus. It is important to note that lower level player get less honor from kill, less honor from Battleground objective and less honor from tokens. wow power leveling If you wish to maximise your honor gain, the first thing to do is to reach the level cap. " So... The best we can do is strike up a compromise between quality and performance. mp3 players Here is a list of a few of the settings and what I've learned from trial and error (and reading Blizz's Tech Support Forum): (Note - these settings are accessible within WoW. Hit Esc to bring up the menu, then choose video options) Full-screen Glow - This feature is only available on certain graphics cards. TURN IT OFF. wow gold It makes a slight difference in quality and has a very high cost in terms of system resources.

Unless you are dead set on having it on, turn it off! Terrain Distance - It is recommended that you set this at one notch above minimum. If your system is on the low end, set it to minimum. wow gold Setting this hgher than one notch over minimum has a very high cost in terms of performance, and it looks decent at min+1.
