WvW Season 1 is going to run for 7 weeks, or 49 days. This means we have to get one world rank every day for 7 weeks. The only people who will be able to attain this are regular WvWers, the same ones who are in dedicated WvW guilds. Please be a bit more reasonable with how much gameplay is required, 10 or 20 WXP ranks would be fine, 50 is overboard.

This is from the perspective of a casual WvW player, I have rank 30 on my Guardian and probably rank 50 or so across all my characters. I enjoy WvW a lot and it’s fun to strategize on voice chat (especially in small havoc teams) but I don’t know if I’m hardcore enough for this. ):

Anet likely didn’t want to remove the armor stats entirely because…well,
we’ve all seen what happens in games where there’s no disadvantage to taking your pants off.

50 ranks is nothing for a 7 week period. I have also seen an increase drop rate of liquid wxp. I think 50 is a sufficient threshold to distinguish dedicated WvWers with the more casual players being excluded from the seasonal rewards. Though i will agree that there will be those who fall in between the cracks.

I was gonna say that :p And maybe if you are lucky you’ll get a keg of Wxp in one of the reward chest (how funny would it be if it’s in the last one ?).

Also, the first ranks in WvW do not require as much experience. If you are that lazy and have that many laurels, you could always created a new character, use laurels to buy the ranks, delete it when it gets to r4 (or 5 ?) and repeat.

I am happy with it and hope they increase it even more. Would be a great way to thin out the glory achievement hunters doing nothing for their server . I hope they raise it to 100-200 WXP Ranks.

I am not in any guild and I can get a single rank in a day without much trouble.

I got Rank 60 the other day on my Warrior and I surely don’t think it’s too much.

After all, if kitten hits the fan, you can always use Laurels for ranks. 49 days means you’ll be getting at least that many Laurels, possibly 20 more. That already amounts to 24-34 ranks. Even more so if you use characters that only have 1 rank, since Rank 1-4 takes 5000 WXP.

Its actually possible to get 50 WXP ranks in a night. But thats if there is a karma train going on. Im fairly sure Anet intended on making the achievements require fairly regular WvW attendence though. I think they were pretty lenient on a number of them as I have completed several of them already.

I got over 20 ranks just last night (had 3 boosters though) and expect to be done with this one in 4 days, 5 tops via regular, everyday WvW gameplay. I do not see any problems whatsoever unless you get one of those match ups where 2 servers just get spawn camped on all maps and yours is on the short end of the stick, in which case, simply go PvE, come back next week.

Is this happening to anyone? I haven’t seen serious spawn camping in a while — now when one server is severely outmatched, it just becomes karma train fodder.

By the way, if your server is getting stomped now, it’s likely to be stomped the whole season as the current matchups are pretty much the most balanced they can get.

1 rank per day for 49 days, and the extra rank spread out over the 49 days, you can rank up in less than 1 hour, its hardly grindy, if they had said 250 ranks then its grindy.

dont blame anet for it. NA T1 actually recruited and bought guilds from their opponents and crippled many servers with it. so that is thoes servers community fault. anet never said: go stack all in t1. they wanted us to spread out. and we all warned t1 servers about this.
we told them that the queues could become a problem during season1. but no, they took even more guilds to be able to field 70+ man zergs on each map 24/7….well now pve players have joined wvw….
well karma can bite….buying guilds, crippling other servers to overstack yours, u should have know that pve players would get in wvw to get a chest too. we all told u so….

Lol! Dude! The lead dev, Devon, warned everybody that stacking in T1 will create queues and issues. This post made it onto reddit even. I would link to it but I’m on cell and that’s way too much work.

But on the forums you see “no queues in T1 on every map bla blah blah”. Were the people saying that trolling or just foolish???

When I was on JQ (prior to the frontrunning onto T1 servers), it was basically just a handful of mainstay guilds (a few guilds had just left for SoR even) and there were at least 15 minute queues almost every night. 15 min doesn’t sound like a lot until you realize this is JQ when it’s dead. Now JQ (and other T1) are alive.

I got 8 ranks last night… your monthly laurels get you 5 ranks, which can happen up to three times during the season, plus a rank for every second daily you complete.
15+24(.5)=39, which means you only actually have to farm 11 ranks total, if you’re willing to spend your laurels.

These achievements are beyond casual, I will have everysingle one done before the end of the first weekend, yet I am not on forums screaming about: OMG DOOD ADD MOAR POINTS. Just farm the 15 you can handle or run with people that are actually organized.

I agree with this. Plus, the achievements seem to be designed for the non hardcore wvw players. Anet is trying to get them to be more active in wvw, and making the achievements sort of grindy for the average person, will ensure that IF they want to get those achievements, they will need to participate in wvw on a regular basis.

Sure helped, now i got 19 rank ups yesterday. 50 is not a big deal. Those who are dedicated WvW players will hit that after 2 weeks, or even just 1 week.

If you can’t finish these achievements, possibly with the exception of the SM cap depending on your server, then it’s not a game or metric issue its a" You clearly do not have time to play this game issue." I am finished with these achievements and it was about 20 hours of gameplay, much of that was not with huge groups just 10 of us messing around having a good time. 20/7= 3 hours per week.

If you jump in and do a couple of hours here and there you will get it. On average, most WvW players get a bit over 1 level an hour. So you need to play 50 hours of WvW. Thats only 7 hours of WvW. And thats just if your playing average. Its possible if its a karma train to get it in one night.

Hi

I have gained 37 ranks since the friday reset, I have to admit I spend my weekend in wvw though except some minor stuff and guild missions. I also realize it is largely dependant on the match-up and your server, there will be weeks when you will gain ranks very slow, and other weeks when they will just fly.

But I do not see any issue with this, I expect to be done with the 50 rank AP on Friday reset at furthest. If your server is unlucky for match ups, you will take maybe 2-3 times as long, do not be discouraged, look at it as a longer term goal, get in with an organized wvw group or guild if yours is not, hop onto their VOIP and run with them. Everything will fall into place by itself.

7 weeks = 49 days. If you do 1 rank per day, and 2 ranks when “World Ranker” is a daily, you’ll still be able to take a few days off.
