Upcoming 3.3.3 changes | Go live 23/3/10 probably | HB should support random bgs

[FEUP]

Hi, with the upcoming 3.3.3 patchs and the random bg's i believe that should be a high priority make all bg's work, (ioc, sota,..)

Quote from mmo-champion:

Patch 3.3.3 Battlegrounds and Honor Changes
Patch 3.3.3 brings a couple of changes to the Battleground system, the new system is heavily inspired from the current random dungeon system and it should be pretty easy to understand.

Random Battleground and Call to Arms
Call to Arms are no longer a quests and are directly integrated to the battlegrounds interface, a new "Random Battleground" option has been added and give you the same honor bonus as the Call To Arms, but applied to any battleground.

• The first time you win a Call to Arms or a Random Battleground, you gain 30 Honorable Kills worth of bonus honor and 25 Arena points.
• Losing the battleground doesn't remove the ability to get this bonus, you can just try again.
• After you won a Random Battleground or a Call To Arms for the first time of the day, the bonus is lowered to 15 Honorable Kills worth of bonus honor.
• You can only get the 30 HK bonus honor for a Call to Arms or a Random Battleground once in a day, the bonuses aren't "stackable" and both are lowered to 15 HK. (See screenshot)

With the upcoming bonus from using the random bg feature, imo Honorbuddy should support it, it will make queues really faster, there will be bonus even if we loose etc.

Regards

Just out of interest, once a patch gets released how do the staff at HB/GB test if it's safe or not ? Surely until people start getting banned, it's impossible to know whether or not HB/GB is being detected after a patch.

They look through the code ( not sure how) and determine if anything was put in that code cause detection to hb/gb

The Random Battleground option can be found in the Battleground tab of the PvP frame and is only available for level 80 characters at this time.

Yep and this is why I think that it is not that important to get it work.
More I hope that we soon will get the update with a working questfunction. That brings much more than all pvp.

i agree 100%

Because it's only for level 80s you think it's not important? Many of us here only use this bot for farming honor for our 80s. I won't be using it again after the patch until you support a random bg queue, since honor will be so easy to get now.

I never said it wasn't important, did I? I think it's a great idea, but speaking for mixed-mode, which is a huge increase in XP/hour versus plain grinding, it won't be of any use until they make a 71-79 pool.
