Have you looked at the number of tickets each box gives now? I haven’t calculated how many tickets you can get but it’s about doubled. AND diamond repeats

Repeating diamond does not give extra tickets. And I don’t think they increased the amount of tickets you can get each week, they just split the tickets in Diamond into each of the 6 chests instead of all being in the last chest.
Base pips have increased by +2. Each box gives tickets, not just the final box. Completing diamond is like 355 tickets now. I’m in WvW right now. Diamond does repeat so there essentially is no weekly cap.
edit: Dev confirmed Diamond tickets not repeatable

If that’s true I might have missed it, I will double check. I did not see that in patch notes about increasing the amount of tickets just about splitting them.
I just checked it, I missed it initially since I did not see it in the patch notes. It does appear that each chest does give tickets now, and each division gives more tickets then before.
Very nice….
Not sure that it is good getting buffed to 355 for the track, but I really like the ‘each box’ feature, and I am not really against more tickets.

From what I’ve seen in the weeks I did finish Diamond, Diamond does repeat, but after the first completion, it does not reward any tickets, just get the other rewards from each box.
Unless they changed it this patch?
The maximum used to be 175. The doubled it and added 5. Not bad foreseeing the complaints that might come in.

I am not sure if repeating it gives tickets now, or they just reset it. They might have reset diamond for those that already completed it, so they could earn the extra tickets.
It takes 6570 tickets to buy the items, and another 1310 to buy the lower tier armor.
7880 / 365 = 22 weeks of wvw.
By comparison, it requires 150 legendary insights for raid armor, at a max of 13 per week, or 12 weeks of raids.
So it takes twice as long to obtain wvw legendary armor as raid armor.

They might reward the tickets for the boxes you’ve already gone through diamond so far this week when you cycle through it again.
Kinda sucks if you’re already up to diamond this week. It means you missed out on all the extra tickets that the lower tier boxes added this patch as well. Pretty sure the cycle only cycles through diamond and not from wood box.
But we’ll just have to see when you finish diamond to see how they handle this weeks progress.

I’ll still take it over having to put up with elitist attitudes in raids.

+1 to this. It lets me progress for the armour at my own pace.

Dev confirmed that diamond tickets aren’t supposed to be repeatable and will fix the issue.

I’d agree, except a dev did mention they wanted the time commitment to be the same.
