Large rank up chest: Rank 45

5 reward bags (similar to pve champion bags)

Contents of the 5 reward bags:
5 level 80 greens
28 piles of bloodstone dust
2 Orichalcum ore (T6 material)
1 Vial of powerful blood (T6 material)
2 Thick leather sections (T5 material)
2 Intricate totems (T5 material)
1 Unidentifiable object

why do they keep pushing pve rewards on us?

Anet should let me reset my rank back to R1.

Exile.8160:

Because players wanted PvP to be more rewarding and those rewards you see there are all the have got to offer you…

Now go forge your ascended kitten or your legendary kitten and be a good player for Anet…

Exile.8160:

why do they keep pushing pve rewards on us?

Reading between the lines, they are giving us T6 mats etc. so that we can craft a legendary or other items the regular way, and just farm the mats in pvp.

Terribly vexing to say the least, but I didn’t really expect anything more.

I get it now, but that leads me to another questing. as a person that almost always pvp with little pve and doesn’t have a crafting discipline whats the point of those mats?

Does it mean you only got one chest… ? No chest for 5 – 10 – 15 – 20 – 25 – 30 – 35 and 40 ?

This a hundred times over please! I would burn all my glory for a rank 1 reset.

I hope they implement that soon.

So I need 150k rank points to get a single chest…uh-huh

At least in WvW it was retroactive when it came to wxp/chest. Why not take the same route here?

I only got 1 chest upon achieving rank 45.

I was actually in a weird situation yesterday when I was only 1000 rank points away from rank 45. I felt that I had to stop queuing because I did not want to rank up before the update. I stopped queuing because if I gained another rank before the update, that rank would not be rewarded.

I think we should be rewarded for the ranks we obtained previously. Possibly have a bonus chest come up during the daily reset (mildly resembling what they do for WvW ranks).

WvW ranks are a static 5000 WXP each rank. PvP rank get’s harder to obtain every 10 ranks. If they do retroactively reward rank chests, I hope they don’t do it exactly like WvW where you get a bonus chest on rank up. I am rank 45 right now and I don’t think I will every get to rank 90. Those tomes of knowledge are a great way to level up my characters for WvW and right now I feel like I just lost 45 levels.

Forming a champ train, heart of the mists, rotation will be team arena – solo arena – hotjoin.

its a way for them to pretend to give us something while not actually giving us anything at all of value (because after all they have a virtual economy to manage right, which the whole glory thing should have sufficed but they had to take that away)…

all i do is pvp and wvw and most drops in wvw now are t7 mats, so unlike the previously heretofore thought of worthless drop spike they’re really giving us nothing because at least we could sell spike ’s. this crap we just have to destroy because honestly, are we going to spend a fortunes to level up our crafting just to use all this worthless junk we keep getting; especially since we get such small quantities, it takes such large quantities, the weapons / armor looks like kitten and still is unusable in pvp?

genius!

I cant kittening believe this.

So i’m at r58, that means i’m screwed with 11 chests.

I hope we’re wrong somewhere otherwise this is becoming pathetic.

Bloodstone………..

I like your idea of retroactively implementing it through dailies and possibly monthlies.

Those are all just terrible.

I mean I can see why they ended glory due to the future wardrobe coming for the PvE side and they are trying to minimize the damage done, but this is ridiculous.

Pvpers Second Class Citizen in Tyria Confirmed Again.

They’re trying to push players into playing all aspects of their game. I understand that and those that WvW and sPvP will be happy, but strictly sPvP players have been shafted.

What would you strictly sPvP players want for rewards? Because there is no gear progression in sPvP, there cannot be gear rewards other than cosmetics – and from what I gather nobody here gives a kitten about it. So, leaderboards that work, and what else?

Well for starters, theres a ton of pve items we cant get from pvping so why not throw that around.. make a reward that you can use in PvE but that is exclusively obtained within PvP and make it HARD to get and by HARD I don’t mean “herpskitten click open 419081 boxes of pvpness” but something that takes actual effort and isn’t based on RNG.

What were before PvE rewards are becoming PvP rewards as well, so they’re not “pushing PvE rewards” on you, but rather building a bridge between PvE and PvP rewards to make both PvE and PvP more inclusive to players rather than exclusive.

I want to have my chests for r55. Go anet and give me what I earned.

I guess you have to submit a ticket for a refund, like they did with glory boosters bought with gems via tp. You will get a response, soon. Reaaly soon.

Allowing players to cross over aspects of the game =/= pushing players into other aspects.

you really want these kittenty rewards? they could at least give us 1 exotic per rank up, i got t1-2 mats on rank 24, so what shall i do with that kitten. it is worth nothing. I’d rather get the old chests.
Also winning a match in spvp and tpvp just feels lame now. I’m always waiting for a chest to pop up.

the rewards are better than nothing, but of course far from balanced compared to effort and pve

Wish I was rank1 again.

Dragonite ore would at least bring some pvers into pvp but ofc it s bloodstone dust.
Anyways for pvpers it s just straight out worthless, now i have to leave the mists to get a salvage kit and walk all the way to the trading post if i don t want my inventory to cloak up. Serious guys do you even think when you pull out updates? Implement a merchant/tp/bank in the mists otherwise it s just more stupidious as it is.

Today is another bad day for the PvP community.

1.We are punished to be ranked up, approximatly 3k Hours on Pvp and no reward from you.
2.When a Pve player has 3k hours, he usually got a legendary weapon, etc etc etc… We are level 60+ and we don’t even have a safe exotic in chests, lucky is not for PvP players.
3.Lucky is NOT what we are looking for when we do PvP, we want our skill get rewarded, our time spent on it too, come on is it so hard to understand ?

I’m deeply sad, and hope, like always, you can understand us/me and fix it.

The amount of effort you need to put in for what you get in pvp vs wvw/pve is a total joke. Before it was sort of separate reward wise with the skins and I felt that wvw had the worst, but jeeze… this just blows everything else out of the water for #1 least rewarding.

It seems to be a theme that anything not Vs. AI gets junk.

LOL…….

Ok so lets think about this. Those rewards are so minuscule, and the fact that you only get 1 t6 mat? LOL……..IF you manage to get to rank 60, which takes a considerable amount of time, you will only manage to get 60 of those chests and 60 t6 mats.

All I can say is that I hope these are temporary, and even if they are, those that are already high level will hardly receive any of these minuscule rewards…..

here at pvp we are second class citizens brah, got to live with that, too insignificant to worth the precious time of dev, they got living story and wvw to do.

I would suggest in stead of rewarding say, 54 chests retroactively to a player, Arenanet should give a ‘megachest’ for each 10, 20, 30, 40, rank achieved so far that has roughly 10x the mats that these chests have.

Everyone complaining about retroactive rewards…you are missing very very little.

Hit Rank 20, since I was close to it (not a huge PvP fan in this game), and I got:
1 Scroll of Knowledge
8 Oranges
1 Crude Salvage Kit
1 Sharp Fang
2s 86c

I would have been better off monetarily just killing one champ in Queensdale.
