Today Zarhym announced upcoming plans to change how Battlegrounds and Honor farming works. With the changes to the emblem system and LFG system making it easier to get PvE gear, they plan to increase the amount of honor you get per game to make gear more accessible and also adding the Random Battleground system. The patch is currently available for testing on the PTR. Hopefully these changes are part of the overall changes Blizzard plans for Battlegrounds in Cataclysm.

Some other changes that are planned;

* Removal of the Marks of Honor. All items that currently require Marks of Honor will be changed to reflect the new changes.
* The Battleground Holiday’s well be named Call to Arms. Playing these battlegrounds will result in bonus rewards in honor.

* Winning a Call to Arms Battleground for the first time in a day will award players with 30 Honorable Kills worth of additional Honor currency.
* Additional Call to Arms Battleground victories after the first win for a player that day will award them with 15 Honorable Kills worth of additional Honor currency.
* Losing a Call to Arms Battleground will award players with 5 Honorable Kills worth of additional Honor currency.

WOOOT NO MORE HONOR GRIND LOL :nuts::nuts::nuts:
 
Eh, makes the grindings less fun. Now I'm going to have so much excess honor with these changes.
 
Make's it that much easier for me to play the Flavor of the Month for PvP :p
 
If only the changes would actually grant you free honorable kills that would be applied to your lifetime, I'd definately be very satisfied with the changes. Nothing feels better than seeing over 1000 kills in a single day.
 
actually this is extremely good

This means Horde or alliance always winning won't mean shit much anymore, because there tossing the marks of honor.
 
Isle of Conquest & Eye of the Storm will be deserted. :p
 
Considering the BGs will be random, now there won't be any deserted battlegrounds.

    I am working on getting access to the old news portal under a different URL for those that would rather use that for news before we get a different news view.

    Easily done

    https://www.thehelper.net/pages/news/ is a link to the old news portal - i will integrate it into the interface somewhere when i figure it out
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Need to try something
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hopefully this won't cause problems.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hmm
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I have converted the Headline News forum to an Article type forum. It will now show the top 20 threads with more detail of each thread.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    See how we like that.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do not see a way to go past the 1st page of posts on the forum though
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is OK though for the main page to open up on the forum in the view it was before. As long as the portal has its own URL so it can be viewed that way I do want to try it as a regular forum view for a while
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Yeah I'm not sure what the deal is with the pagination.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    It SHOULD be there so I think it might just be an artifact of having an older style.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I switched it to a "Standard" article forum. This will show the thread list like normal, but the threads themselves will have the first post set up above the rest of the "comments"
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I don't really get that article forum but I think it is because I have never really seen it used on a multi post thread
  • Ghan Ghan:
    RpNation makes more use of it right now as an example: https://www.rpnation.com/news/
