Valor?

Hey guys,

I see people mentioning valor and say stuff like they have high or low valor.

Could someone explain to me in detail what/how you get valor and what it does?

Its unknown exactly how to get valor/valour. Some people speculate about having to hide away till end of round etc but I have my own ideas after getting valour 2-3 times in a row several times yesterday. I wasnt trying to get it, just fighting in my normal style.

Because of its name, I expect it's supposed to reward you for trying hard to win/fighting well etc. Its not fixed on K/D either.

You can only get valour when your team loses, and it basically stops you going down to a x1 multiplier.

When you get the valour message, your screen will show a x1 but when gold/xp is given your true multiplier will be shown, always higher than x1.

I killed 8 guys in 2 rounds with a trident and in peasant clothes, got me valour in the second of these rounds. Sure it isnt linked to K/D ratio or at least to KILLS ?

Well im hoping its not something as basic as you have to get 1 kill and then there's a chance (possibly increased by time alive) to get it.

I dont keep a record of what I did in a round, and im sure ive seen people say they didnt kill anyone, then tk'd and still got it.

I could speculate all day on what I think gives valour but there's no way to prove it because I dont believe there's 100% way to get it.

It's a fixed and logical system, there is a 100% (or close to) way to get it.

Can you imagine how many people would start valour farming if it was ever leaked to the public? Honestly, I am sure it won't take long for someone to make a forum post about it, at which point it might have to be changed. But maybe, it will make game play more interesting, I guess we'll see soon enough.

Just beeing the last one for a good time, hide, wait till next tick, and even killsmore then 2 guys doing so doesn´t give you valour, I tried that.

So it must be linked to overall fighting skills or what ... 

It's really easy to figure out if you meet a special requirement, that's all I'll say.

I got loads of valor by camping a wooden shed on a map i forgot it's name though.

With Black Armor, Armet, Plate Mittens, Black Greaves, Crossbow, Steel Bolts and Great Maul. Was always there at the same spot and was alive till the end and took many enemies down with me. Got it for about 5-6 rounds in a row. And then next map after those rounds i camped a roof with same strategy and got it. Though only for the 1st round.

Might be tied to how much damage you cause to the enemy and how long you survive? Dunno just speculating :P

I don't think good k/d ratio has much offect on the chances of getting valor.
I've gotten valor by having -1 score and surviving to the end of the round.

It's definately not tied to:
Killing people
Dealing damage

It's definately tied to:
Surviving for a long part of the game

It might be tied to:
Holding one area for a long amount of time. (really hard speculation, I find it highly unlikely myself. Basing this on my old friendgy xbow campers getting valour all the time)

Overall I'm at a loss what else could grant valour, since easily recognizable/scriptable variables seem few for situations like this in m&b.
I often don't get valour if I charge in at the beginning of a round and kill more than 4 people, yet I often get it if I'm the last guy to die. Dealing lots damage - such as hitting multiple people with my gs once or twice also has always failed to grant me valour, even in extremes when I run in - land about 7+ or so hits and die without kills.
I think everyone has noticed that the most cowardly, ungallant and un-valorous get it far more than those who should.

Valour atm awards people who try to ignore the first initial clash and hang back. I hate it as it is now, I admit I  tend to play recklessly and often die in midgame or so and tend to not get valour even when I land 6+ kills.
