I talked about the Battleground Daily Quests in WoW, Casually this week, but I have since found out more information. Here are some need-to-know tidbits about the new BG Daily Quests:- You pick up the quests where the Battlemasters are in a major city. The Alliance talk to the Alliance Brigadier General and the Horde talk to the Horde Warbringer.
- You have to win the Battleground in order to complete the quest. It is not for the collection of marks or completion of any other objective.
- The Daily Quests are random for each realm. This applies to Regular Dungeon, Heroic Dungeon and Cooking Daily quests as well. So, if the Battleground for the quest is Warsong Gulch on Daggerspine, it does not mean that everyone else in the Battlegroup has the same Daily Quest. [Source: Bornakk]
- You need The Burning Crusade in order to pick up any of the Daily Quests, even the ones for old world Battlegrounds. [source: Bornakk]
- You can only get the quest if you are within the appropriate level range for the Battleground that is featured in the current day's quest. So if you are level 19, you can get the Warsong Gulch Daily Quest, but the exclamation point will not show up for you if it is any of the other BGs. Here are the minimum levels for each:
- Warsong Gulch: 10
- Arathi Basin: 20
- Alterac Valley: 51
- Eye of the Storm: 61
- You are supposed to get honor, cash and, if you are under max level, experience for completing the Battleground Daily Quests. The quests correctly give cash and experience (my level 19 warrior got 1450 xp), but they may not be properly awarding honor. The honor is being added to the Estimated Honor, but is not showing up in the calculated honor the next day. Some people are also saying that the error is that the quest honor is being added twice into the Estimated Honor. Blizzard says that they are looking into it.
Have you noticed the Honor Bug? Have you seen any other issues with the Battleground Daily Quests?

You should add another point...
- If you are Alliance, you may have to try upwards of 10 times to win a single BG.

Meh, I am Horde and PvP Daily on Durotan yesterday was AV, took me 6 plays to win 1. It's all about playing defense now, can't just zerg to win.

Quest in shatt was WSG but in SW it was Eye of the Storm. Guess which one we went for? :D Is this supposed to be the case? Are the dailies for BG's different depending on which battlemaster you speak with?

Transfer to Shadowburn if you want to win as alliance. I'm about to petition an investigation into why horde only starts out with 5 players in AB, WSG, Eots. Since 2.3 we don't fill out our game until around 1 minute into it. Alliance starts with a full 10. This is also weird, because we have 7 minute que times, which would imply that alliance aren't que'ing up. My friends and I haven't seen one bg where we start out even yet. Pretty sick.
Then on top of that, if you want marks on shadowburn... take the number you need and that is the total amount of games you'll need to play to get that number. The horde are that bad.
And to top it off, since the av change, we now lose Av's constantly as well.

Yes I have Indeed noticed the honor problem.
I have up till now made two GM tickets, and still gets the same crap response, which looks completely automated. Anyway I have the last two days written down the honor I had before 1 am update and after and each days I was approx. 440 honor short ...
Best regards,
JayArcher
