Would it be possible to maybe add something to the profiles in the client to show how much honor progress we have? I feel like its just an endless amount of honors until randomly you get your next honor level. Would be a great concept to add
Hey, this is a good question, but we actually very intentionally did not include any sort of progress indicator for Honor levels. Here are a few reasons why:
- We didn't want to anchor people on the "grind" to honor levels. By not having progress indicators, we wanted to root the reinforcement for being sportsmanlike on the feedback you get from other players (the honors), not any artificial motivation from being "close to the next level".
- Our behind-the-scenes systems which determine honor level ups aren't simple. The types of calculations we do to determine if a player is ready to level up take into account their holistic behavior across many games, and don't lend themselves well to being surfaced in an "XP bar"-style system. Anything we surface here could also warp behavior around trying to "minmax" the most honor points, which really refocuses it away from the point of the Honor system - play good games and you'll make progress.
- We wanted to have a few discrete levels in Honor, since bloating the number would make each feel less meaningful. However, we wanted players to progress over the course of a season or half-season, which means that progress to the next level would necessarily be fairly slow. We didn't think it would be a great experience to reinforce this through some progress indicator.
Hey!
Draggles actually talked about this last night on Twitter!
it's a design space we're looking at and we have some ideas but we wanna see how quickly it takes to get to level 3 before we do anything
No. I dont want honor beggars being cringe all game with that positive attitude nonsense [slayer-jinx-unamused]
They actually already said they didn't want to in some post around the original ones about honor. They feel it would promote honor hunting - like guys gimme 3 honor this game so I can hit rank 4 honor and I will buy you a skin or duo with you and give you honor next game... something like that. Or, I only have to be good for this much longer; or the flip side - I can be a rotten teammate for this many games before I drop from rank X honor level.
Has anyone gotten honor 3 yet?
actually yes this is a good idea.
It is intentionally left out of the system.
Yes yes yes.
Thank you good sir :D
Gosh I feel like a reporter.. xD But on behalf of all players, I wanna thank you for your work and making this game as good as you can make it ;)
You had to make it awkward and make me feel dumb.. lol
