Honor Headstart Clarification

Imperial Pandaa··1 votes·253 views

Maybe I missed it being posted or mentioned elsewhere, but I sent in a support ticket to ask about the reset and headstart.

I was curious about if those who get a headstart would actually also be awarded for the check points they actually by passed. Here is the response:

Hey Pandaa,

>Sadly, you won't be able to earn those other two checkpoint rewards. I definitely understand it feeling weird though (as I'll also be missing out on those rewards), but as you stated yourself, you will be able to earn more rewards faster than everyone else.

So, sadly, we do not get the earlier check point rewards. It is just a matter you will get access to the higher/better rewards faster. (in theory)

You gain more capsules/orbs/whatever at level 5 and at a faster rate - so you really are missing out on two slow orbs/whatever to get to the level that you get faster :)

I'm fine with the trade off, I was just curious about if you would still get credit/given for the passed ones or not. Had trouble finding a clear answer. The thirst for knowledge has been sated.

Figured I would post just in case anyone else was curious/missed it like I did.

If you are placed into a higher checkpoint/honor level due to honor levels the previous season, doesn't that mean you miss out on all the guaranteed rewards for lower tier checkpoints? That seems a little lame, considering we might want those rewards.

Not really, no. Because rewards now scale with Honor level (and orbs continue dropping after level 5) it means you get better rewards at the same rate as someone that starts below you. It's not super intuitive, but it's flatly better for Season 7's honorable players.

Yup, I missed that post. Thank you Kei.[slayer-pantheon-thumbs]
