Guild Wars 2

Like many other players, with the new reward track system, I decided to give PvP a try. I read in a couple of different places (forum, guild chat, etc) that you could complete a track between 20 and 40 matches (assuming a best case scenario where you win them all vs losing them all)
In my experience, the few wins I’ve gotten have earned me 2% of the reward track (and 1% per loss) which would mean that at this rate, it would take me between 50-100 matches.
I’m not here to complain, I just want to wonder why is that. Is the amount of reward track progress linked to my pvp rank? (Which is a lowly

Thanks in advance!

1 Win in TeamQ usally makes you progress 1 bar and a bit.
I think, it is impossible to complete a track with 20 matches, 30-35 TeamQ wins might be realistic. But you probably wont win all matches.

You should also notice, that you only can progress 2 Tiers (10 Chests /ars) within HotJoin and that the time you spent in a match also influences it (e.g if you joined in the ending, you progress less)

Still, my first matches were SoloQ (which I wasn’t aware was the tournament matches) and got ~ 2% per a win, which would still make it at that rate ~50 matches (IF I won them all)
Unless TeamQ earns you points more generally?

I’m also aware about the cap. I have only gotten 5 chests total, and not on a single day, so I know I’m not reaching that cap yet.

I haven’t played much SoloQ theses days, but 50 matches might fit.
In the ready up stream they said, that it might take you 1,1,5 or 2 wins to get a chest.
The progress is prefinitifly not tied to rank.
TeamQ is the fastest way to progress, however it is the most competitive environment inspvp.
If you are new to spvp, I recommend you not to play TeamQ, as you might get devastated and also might ruin the experience for your teammates.

Oh, I won’t even dream of getting in there yet! I’m satisfied just knowing that I wasn’t doing anything wrong.
Thanks!

Hmmm I already finished the Balthazar track, and I don’t think I did more than 50 matches (and I didn’t win them all). I’m also a decent way through the Kryta Reigion track. A win in Solo Queue should give you one mini bar and a loss is maybe just under a mini bar?

Lol thats amazing. From now on I’ll call them mini bars :D

Eh, I decided not to fret over this anymore. If I fill a mini bar every 1 or 2 matches, then that’s good enough for me.
