BG points mistakesFollow

#1 Nov 22 2007 at 4:58 AM Rating: Decent
Hello.
3 days ago I spend some time on BG and earn 2000 honor points.
After the midnight when the points were counted I noticed that my summary honor points were higher by 500 and in yestaday honor point statistic I had 200 points.

Where I loose 1800 points.

Yestaday I earn 1500 points but game count only 700.

I play on BG near the midnight so I can check my statistic after daily counting.

What is going on???

I hate spending time on BG for nothing.

Sry for my english.

That isnt a problem to work out with us. i would highly recommend talking to a GM. Press the red question mark on the bottom right of your screen and open a ticket.

Ok, stop worrying friend, there is no issue. I'm telling you first hand because I noticed something similar, spoke with a GM like 20 min and finally understood what he was trying to tell me. I'll summarize it below to help you see the light.

I start pvping around midnight. At that time, I had 68k HPs. I hadn't pvped that day so 0 on the daily counter (let's call it DC) and let's say 3k on the "yesterday" counter (let's call it YC).

I pvp a bit and around 1 am I have 68k total, 1.5k on my DC and 3k on my YC.

Around 1:30 am, I have 68'0150 total, 50 on my DC and 150 on my YC.

I think to myself "WTF, I LOST about 2k between 1 am and 1:30 am".

What the GM explained to me is the following:

Around midnight, Blizzard starts the program to calculate the points gained during the previous day and this takes long. All HP gained during that time might not be taken properly into account and that's what happened to my 2k earned between midnight and 1:30 am. This is why those 2k points showed neither on the YC (only 150) nor on the TC (only 50). And they were not even in my total which was still at 68k.

BUT those points are not lost. They're just accounted for the next day. And this is confirmed, since the next day I made only around 2k... but my total went to 72k (i.e. the "lost" 2k from the previous day reappeard there).

So, yeah, the system is somehow flawed but take heart knowing you don't "loose" points, sometimes it just takes one more day for them to be properly accounted for.

I can't speak for your server. On my server (European Central Time), here's the timing:

- The honor point calculation algorithm starts around midnight
- Honor points are distributed between 2:30 am and 3 am
- Daily quests are reset around 5 am

Note however that the algorithm apparently runs from midnight to 2:30 am and all points earned during this time might not be properly accounted for on that very night (and if so, you'll get them the next day).

All honor points earned before midnight should be properly accounted for and I've never noticed any issue with this.

On my European server i noticed that everything is reset at exactly 3 am. So when i play with my few hours that i have i center them around those hours. During work days it sucks but when i have a day off the next day this is nice.

I do dungeons untill 1'o clock at night, then start doing dailies untill around 2 2.30 then I BG untill 3. Dailies restart then and I play for another hour 1 1/2 hours. That way I can do two dailies in one night.

Very nice, especially now that I can use the FP between terrokar and blade edge :D
