Guild Wars 2

I soloed my free smurf account in EU (for a change in venue) up to Rank 20, because I was trying to figure out how long it would take to get into ranked queues for a new player.

I ended up having several loses, and it took a total of ‘44’ games to get to Rank 20. Since I had 10 loses and you get half the rank points on those games, optimally I think it can be reached in 39 games, maybe 38 if you get enough top scorer bonuses? Idk, but unfortunately a few DC’s are likely to happen as they did with me, though I was on the beneficial end of them a few times too.

If it is possible to unlock ranked queue in 38 games, that probably means 80 is the most amount of games it would take.

Maybe I’ll challenge myself to try this again sometime and see if I can get it in 38 games, but it would probably be with a team, since I don’t want the stars to have to align. Hope some people find this useful.

TL;DR
Wanted to see how long it’d take a F2P account to get into ranked queue. Took me 44 games, best possible is 38/39? Wost case scenario is 80 games. Feel free to try it yourself if you like.

but think that a new user f2p or not its very hard to have 34 win out of fourty four games.

I only lost one match cos I didn’t have enough copper to buy armor or or weapons… So I played with one pistol and naked on my engineer. Still won few 1v2s but lost the match.

250 wins – that should be a requirement for Ranked arena unlock.

Ranked games should be rank 80, cause its ranked.
