Is there a thread about the ridiclous Renown gain changes post-patch?

[Akalukz]

They hotfixed it for warbands. (sorta) Previously IF 2 warbands hit target say in funnel. 48 people used to get kill credit, now 24 will.

Spoiler:
- Kill credit is shared with entire warband or group of the player that did top damage.

That is reasonable. Before you could throw out Infernal Wave (and whatever BE equivalent), tag 24 order, and get kill credit for them. Though at ~480 RPs you were probably better off ST something to death.

Read patch notes. The change is only for the kill quests and how getting credit for it works. Your xp and renown still work the exact same way.

Explain this, then:

Several kills/DBs yet 0 Renown across the board.

Something is off?

Looks like a bug. Report it on Bugtracker

So healers are getting **** on renown contribution again eh?

[Xumae]

someone explain the renown changes to me as if i was a small, stupid child please. Hypothetically ofc

People are reporting that kill contribution being locked to your party rather than warband/scenario party.

Basically the PvE kill contribution change carrying over to PvP.

Thank you.

I honestly don't understand the change anyway, this game is very non-newbie friendly already, why make it harder for newbies to get levels + gold, the only thing quests give? A thing that doesn't matter to zerg surfers, who are in it for the renown?

In objective based SCs renown for kills is rewarded at the end of the SC. Has been like that for a long time.

Not getting Renown for assisting on a kill outside of your party (i.e in a multplie party scenario or oRvR warband) is a.... quite questionable change indeed! Did you feel like people ranked up in Renown Rank too quickly or what? Ludicrous!

The change does not affect your earned Renown Rank experience/Career Rank experience

If a player in a group does 45% damage to a target and the players in another group are dealing 35% and 20% damage to target and kill it, which group gets the reward?

So does the group total dmg matters or is it based on individual players?

This game is probably 1 of the most newbie friendly games there will ever be. You can literally just play from lvl1 and without having to doing anything hard until maxlvl. Making gold isnt that hard either but yeah it does required a slight effort on your behalf.

But you statement is just way off
