Honor accumulation has always been a contentious issue. People don't understand the formulas behind it and they often disagree with how rapidly you can gain/lose it. We also get widely conflicting reports of peoples ability to gain Honor. Its about time we looked at and attempted to address the Honor system.
After some discussion with the Developers it was deemed that it was not realistic to explain in detail the current system as it is "crazy" and likely to make your ears bleed if you were to behold it in all its current obfuscation. This isn't a dig at the ability of players, more a comment on the organic nature of many of Utopia's functions which may have started out simple enough, but now are very difficult to understand.
So, the Developers have a question for us - how would you like it to work?
I am going to attempt to foster discussion here and try and find out some information. I have made some polls that I would really appreciate if you checked out and made your opinion known. There are also a bunch of questions/points below that should form the basis of your posts. What we want to get initially is an idea of what you like/dislike about it.
Here are the polls, please check these out first.
<polls links here>
Do you like and understand Honor as it stands? - http://forums.utopia-game.com/showth...you-like-Honor
Do you like the Honor rewards system currently? - http://forums.utopia-game.com/showth...rewards-system This is NOT about how you gain honor, but the bonuses you get when you gain it.
When posting please include this info if you can:
What do you like about Honor, and what do you dislike?
Do you feel Honor accumulation is transparent enough to the user? We could show total Kingdom Honor on the kingdom page, and show what you gain/lose on attacks/ops for example.
Should Honor gained be directly tied to the difficulty, and supposedly the damage, of ops and spells?
Should attacks have their Honor gain capped harder?
Should Honor be generated more aggressively - i.e should an attack/op/spell be able to generate more Honor than is lost?
Please stay on topic guys, offending posts will be removed.
