Hello guys and gals. I have a quick question. Currently, my toon is progressing through Diamond Rewards Tier Track. However, I’ve noticed that upon completion of Diamond track, I’m not receiving any Skirmish tickets. Looks like I’m repeating the Diamond track but I’m not receiving any skirmish tickets. Any ideas as to why I’m not getting any tickets? Thanks

You only get tickets the first time through. If you didn’t get them, put in a support ticket.

I did receive tickets first time I completed diamond tier. But after that no tickets. So does this mean I will never get tickets now? I’m so confused:(

Once you finish diamond, you’re done with earning tickets for the rest of the matchup. It resets when the matchups reset. You can worth through them again to earn up to another 175 tickets.

It just means that the diamond tier does not issue more tickets each time you complete it.

Good afternoon!
The tickets tracks reset at weekly WvW reset.(or are supposed to). Last week, it took a logout after reset to see this, but the track resets to the Wood chest after reset.

175 is the weekly cap yes… And IMO I think those that reach it are either AFKers or insane, lol. If there was no cap, people would be be logged in 24/7 standing around in spawn.

I reached it mid week and I play a casual two hours or so a night but that includes my dailies for food and tool crafting and all that. I’m not on the squads all the time, I like to zig zag across the map a bit and knock out sentries, ruins, and camps and I’ll just hook up with whatever group or squad fights I run into. Playing a complete game feels more important than tagging everything your squad is blowing up over and over again and you don’t want to keep getting the same kills all night. I think a casual but active player should have little problem reaching cap before match ends as long as they’re seeing all their actions through.

Ehhhh, I think you’re either full of dookie, or you’re outnumbered for a staggering majority of your WvW time, which is probably not the case on NSP.

Lets say you’re silver, and NSP is ticking in first place for your entire WvW playtime:

2hours a day= 24 pip ticks per day.
24 pip ticks at silver in 1st place = 120 pips per day.
120 pips per day at 7 days = 840 pips per week.

1450 pips required to get all 175 tickets per week.

unless your getting outmanned buff per tick it takes 3-4 hours a day not couple hours per day… average tick of 5 pips.

Well, diamond reset and I’m not getting tickets anymore and I know other people knocked theirs out early just doing stuff. If you want to do maths and kitten go ahead, don’t know what we’re arguing about.

unless your getting outmanned buff per tick it takes 3-4 hours a day not couple hours per day… average tick of 5 pips.

I probably cranked out a good stretch on the weekend, and I do have to hit up the outmanned maps, can’t get into EB anymore.

Yeah, I did do the math. And was very generous with it. Its incredibly unlikely that you will obtain ticket cap at 2 hours a day, even more so when you say that 2 hours wasn’t all in WvW, partially doing crafting dailies and such. I don’t doubt that you have reached cap, I just think you are playing for longer per day than you might remember…

Even ebg ques most of our maps are never outmanned. You can check how many outmanned ticks you have received it tells you where they come from. It just sounds like you weren’t keeping track of time, you know the saying time flys when your having fun.

@kash: he’s calling you out for saying you got something like 120 outnumbered ticks out of 168. and from my experiences that does seem a little fishy. as in, not casually playing, or playing more than youre stating, or perhaps having ground out more than a silver rank and still calling yourself casual, or even something else. idk and idk you, but his math seems reasonable and hitting up outnumbered maps constantly is anything but casual.

This reward system is not encouraging to new-comers at all. Heck it isn’t even encouraging to partially old timers like me. Unless you are of a high rank, the number of pips and the length of time needed to even get all 175 tickets a week is too much for a working person like me. It seems here again that Anet has employed the same tactics used for hot maps, make everything time-gated. All the cringey voices in the world wouldn’t help people who have to work like me.

To put it specifically, the map queues died down within the first week. I guess many pve’ers saw how sick it was to get the rewards and simply left in cringe. Plus the rank simply rewards ppl who levelled hardcore in eotm. You earn ranks much faster in eotm k-trains then in wvw fighting for a tower or a camp.

I had diamond Sunday, but I played insane hours Fri/Sat @ 6-12 ticks per every 5 mins… The outnumbered ticks while flipping camps/sentries etc are too OP IMHO…

Won’t be doing that again any time soon……

As I said insane haha.

Yeah. At an average tickrate of 5 its like 20 hours to finish diamond, and thats at 100% effiecency, which is practically impossible as its gonna take a tick or two to even start gaining pips. A casual aint gonna finish that midweek at a mere 2h every single day. No way. I am mid diamond now and have played ~4-5 hours a day (on vacation hehe), more during the weekend. Thats 100% active play, only maybe a dozen ticks gotten from “meh I’ll stay these 2 minutes selling stuff before I log”. Its also not one sitting.

But of course if one “activly” use AFK or outnumbered instead…

Capping tickets to 175 = mistake, common cause of irritation among hard core WvWvWers.

Ticket requirements for the armor etc. is way too much.

It requires about 20 h of active play with a good server to get 175 tickets. Thus you need at least 2 weeks and 40 h to get 350 tickets, which is enough to get an exotic weapon or exotic chest armor. Exotic!!! You can get much better looking exotic skin in few hours of pve.

Arenanet is still treating WvWvW inferior compared to pve.

I’m silver, I play casually, I did not get the ticket cap. I barely finished mithril and I truly did play about 2 hours a day (more than I normally put in in a week). I don’t mind, and I don’t see a problem. It is a cap, why does everyone think completing diamond is something meant for casual play? It is clearly meant as a reward for more dedicated “hardcore” players who put more time in.

175 is the weekly cap yes… And IMO I think those that reach it are either AFKers or insane, lol. If there was no cap, people would be be logged in 24/7 standing around in spawn.

I’ve played pretty casually (about 2 hours a night) and reached it pretty easy, I think on Wednesday.

Please see my simple math above. You did not play 2 hours a night.

2 hours = 24 ticks each day (at 100% effiecency, lets ignore the extra time to reach T3 into that). Friday to Wednesday = 6×24 = 144 ticks.

Meaning you have to tick 10 points an average every single tick every day. That’s not casual unless you are max WvW rank and your server win every skirmish or alternativly you only play on outmanned borders far outside primetime. That may be casual for you, but it’s not really representative for a normal casual in an tier with equally active servers.

So either you’re pretty much doing a perfect outmanned pip run every day or I call kitten on that.

^^. This.

If you want the Max tickets, then play the time to get it. If the time is insane, then you get there slower. But you get there.

WvW has always been different. I am OK with that. If it rubs people hard enough the wrong way, then they won’t get the skins. I see no problem with that.

More people WILL play for them, stay somewhat longer and are more likely to learn to like the mode.

I do understand it isn’t as friendly to newcomers and new players, WvW isn’t friendly to them anyway because of ranks and rank points.

It is the nature of WvW. It shouldn’t change just to appease people (of ALL game types) who want the skins faster.

The outnumbered tickrate should be the normal one (and outnumbered bonus should be decreased from 5 to 1 or 2 pips). Then it takes around 10 hours to complete the chests for a gold ranked player.

20 hours (5 pips per tick) is absurd and feels not fun but exausting (to me at least). It is a huge timesink. Server population is already dopping massively because people realized it takes ages just to unlock some stuff. Not worth it.

The 175 cap is enough to keep players busy for months or even years.

If it is exhausting, then the cap is not a goal meant for you. Do you think it should be easier to be legend rank in PvP? WvW is not a “take a day and grind this reward out” like it is in PvE. Diamond chest is not a goal meant for casual play, please get that through your head.

You should get through your head that your opinion is an opinion and not a fact even if you try to make it look like one.

If you want to tell people how things are “meant to be”, program your own videogame!

Besides that I wrote the exact opposite of what you now try to ascribe to me. I said the 175 cap is enough to keep people busy for a VERY long time – even if they reach it every week – for what 10 hours/week would still be a noticeable amount of time! That’s 16 weeks just for the backpack tickets, not to mention the armor or the weapon skins!

He literally quoted what Anet has said in their Guild Chat stream – They said that Diamond chest is meant for more dedicated WvW’ers while they expect more casual players to reach around Gold-ish. Whether or not it is fair – it’s not my place to complain, I’ve waited 5 years for any type of reward so I am stoked I get something to work toward while I do what I enjoy doing anyways.

I’ve completed Diamond 3 times this week. I would also like it if every subsequent completion of the 6 tiers of diamond awarded more tickets. I mean if we are all gonna kitten and kitten about the kitten kitten then I would kitten like some more kitten kitten kitten kitten kitten tickets. JUST SAYING. In all seriousness I am being rewarded with more pips because I have been a primarily wvwvw player. I feel like it is working as intended.

I could completely get behind this. Amalgamated would be awesome. I have crafted all the HOT legendaries in addition to all the Vanilla ones and really dislike the amalgamated deal.
