Guild Wars 2

Howdy!

Could some please tell me what the difference between Unranked and Ranked pvp is?

Ive been playing it a lot lately, and all ive really noticed is that the queue time for Ranked is quicker. I find the level of competitiveness on each to be the same. And I know the rewards are the same.

So besides the queue time, whats the difference?

Ranked is designed to be the more competitive queue.
The biggest difference is, that in ranked queue, you get in addition some points to show off in the leaderboard.

In unranked you have three additional map options: Skyhammer, Courtyard and Spirit Watch.

Both are using an individual MMR-System, and therefore you should be competing in both with players at about your level of expertise.

I use unranked if I mess around with a more unfamiliar profession or build.

Wait, are you saying that you can’t play in Skyhammer, Courtyard and Spirit Watch in ranked mode? (I’m new, never played ranked before)
