Rank Rant.

10 Frontline-Games are giving you 10% of your current needed exp for next rank. So lets say you need 5000 exp for next rank, then it will give you 500. 3 wins on Frontlines will also give you the additional 15%. That makes 25%. And because the same happens to wolfs den, you can even get 50% if you complete all four pvp challenge logs.

But actually wolfs challenge log is only worth doing if you only go for the 3 wins (10 games takes to long) and you have to be rank 28+ and on top of that you should try to win 3 out of 4 games. Otherwise you would just waste your time on less exp compared to just doing frontlines.

Yea, your bonus is most likely quite small and around 50/80, but thats only because your next rank only needs idk 500 total exp or something. Most people dont know that (As of now i can get 1.024 pvp exp after 3 fl wins and 684 more for 10 games).

264 for 7 FL games. 396 for 3 frontline wins. (this is what it shows for me atm)

Do the FL bonuses reset separately from wolfs den? I have yet to do wolfs den (not that I haven't tried, que time went over an hour and said forget it) I hope they do >.<

Hm, i dont understand how you mean it. They dont affect each other. But ya, as you said the queues for wolfs den are even more horrible as frontline queues and so on you should wait with the wolfs den challenge logs until you are near rank 30 and you should be sure to win 3 out of 4 games. That can be done by playing a healer with tank accessories. Because then you always have a good healer in your group because you are playing it by yourself wich leads to an higher win chance.

For the rank restriction you are missing one of the reason i first did. Retainers they can wear unranked gear, but not ranked gear. Next any unranked stuff is desynthable I am not sure how that works. Finally the grind isnt so bad. You need to talk to people from your server/data center get a ls find when the ques are short for frontlines. It is less then 300 matches with a 40% win ratio from rank 1 to 40. Not sure about wolves den, I don't do arena only games base pvp.

Also the amount of xp from challenge log chages as you level up its based on rank so number will get bigger.

It's SE's way of helping queue times for the moment. If players don't need rank 40 to get the Ilvl 100 set now there's a good chance there willing to queue again for another week or two to get the gear w/o needing 500+hrs of grinding to wear it.

At least this should help the pvp queue timers for a few weeks, we'll see.
