Guild Wars 2

So I asked in another topic about Pips and how the reset works. According to one player’s response they reset every week meaning if I get two chests… I have no way to get to the rest of the chest unless I devote more time etc….

Is this true Mr. / Ms. / Mrs. ANET? I see nothing in the update notes about Pips resetting so clarify by any chance? Is progression of Pip chests interrupted weekly or continue on like PvP.

Pips are earned every tick and are awarded based on the following:

Your world’s position during the skirmish (first, second, or third).
Your WvW rank.
Commanding a squad containing at least five people.
Playing on the same world for at least three weeks.
Playing on a map in which you are outnumbered.

Pips cannot be earned if you have recently transferred or if you do not have enough participation.

You must play on a world for an entire match in order to be eligible for earning pips.

Playing on the same world for at least three weeks.

I think this point needs some more clarification. At the moment the dev posts seem to imply that you have to have gotten the wooden chest for the previous 3 weeks to get your loyalty pip/tick that week. As opposed to just earning rewards for 3 weeks ( even if consecutive) as a “pay once unlock” (assuming you don’t transfer server) kinda deal.

Which is nothing like what was hyped.

My question is different. I am asking if the pips reset for the chests and not how many pips you need for loyalty and such. Your question I believe was answered:

We need to update the loyalty pip description.

You need to earn at least 75 pips for 3 weeks in a row to earn the loyalty bonus. We wanted players to have to participate in skirmishes to be considered loyal.

Hello, I’m not quite clear on this.

So you need to get
75+ pips on week 1
75+ pips on week 2
75+ pips on week 3

And then so long as you remain on the server, you will get the loyalty bonus?
Or will the streak reset if you miss a week, and you need to do all 3 again?

Needing to earn 100+ pips weeks 1, 2 and 3 is correct. If you miss a week you will need to do all 3 again.

*Edit: It should be 100 pips not 75. So you need to complete all of Wood Tier for 3 weeks.

You can earn a maximum of 175 skirmish tokens per matchup, this is done by gaining pips every 5 mins depending on multiple factors (wvw level etc)

At the end of the matchup the whole thing resets and you start from the beginning again meaning if you only unlocked the wooden chests for example in the matchup, once the reset kicks in you have to start again at the wooden chests, therefore to get all 175 you need to complete all chest up to and including diamond.

If you do manage to get all the way to diamond and complete and within the same matchup then the last chests are repeatable, however you do not get any further skirmish rewards.
