Same over on my server. The Crossroads isn't assaulted as much because tarren mill has undead defenders ... perfect fodder for priests.

Do you gain honor from killing npc guards that are around the same level?

NO ! You only gain honor from killing PC's. The Honor System is designed for strict PvP battle only and once Battlegrounds is implamented they will shift the rewards to make it worth your while to PVP in that part then to PVP in regular areas of the game.

Personally I don't think the "honor" rewards are worth it. To get the best items you will have to constantly pvp and do nothing else. Whereas some molten core runs can get you some drool worth gear that does not require you to spend hours every day killing other players.

WOOT! I'm a grunt at 160 kills. At this rank 2 I can get a horde scout tabbard and the horde insignia (break stun/slow effects with 5min cooldown). Not bad! Certainly comes in useful against rogues. You know you want this warriors! It's not a lot of kills, my guild leader has 2500 and only made sergeant. I've participated at TM twice and did a raid at Goldshire once that was incredibly fun. We would retreat to the western tower and regroup with pushes. It's those types of tactical battles are fun versus the zergs against TM.

how do you get a kill? Do you have to get the last hit or the first or just a majority of the damage.

[carkis]

As long as you get a hit in, that seems to be the way it works. I'm not sure if prty/raid kills count though. I'll experiment a bit and see if being hit counts too.

[UDawg]

Hmm, I have helped kill a bunch of horde but still have zero kills. They were all 60s and I am a 56. I wonder what I was or was not doing to not get credit.

[carkis]

Were you part of the party? That would be necessary for it to count, because if that party did most damage, I would think they would get the credit. When you get credit for the kill you'll notice a little rank bar pop up above you (doesn't mean you get rank, just means you get credit).

[UDawg]

Ok, that is what I thought and it makes sense. I have been soloing and joining in on kills. I haven't been PVPing much since the patch. I have been trying to get to 60 since I am so close. I will figure it out when I get more involved.

I was just curious. It isn't a point of concern for me but thanks for the info.

[carkis]

Yeah, I'm pretty close myself: 58! Right now though I've noticed I'm not concentrating on gaining xp, but getting quests done. Once you're 60, those quests don't mean anything but little money and sometimes items

I once thought there was no way 3 warriors could solo mauradon without a healer, but we'll see if we can do princess. A 60, me at 57, and a 54 easily beat landslide. That 54 got us killed once cuz he couldn't sneak by a patrol

[UDawg]

LOL!

I still have not finish princess instructions or what ever it is. Getting a group for Maraudon is the hardest thing to do in this damn game. Going to ST or anyother instance is easy but heaven for bid you should try to get a group together for maraudon.
