Ranks 12-14

[Kickproof 0]

Hey there,

I remember the grind to rank 14 in vanilla being pretty extreme, I ended up throwing in the towel at rank 10. Will the grind on Elysium be about the same, harder, or easier than actual vanilla. How much play would I be looking at to hit these rank 12, 13, or 14 reliably.

16-18/hrs a day as alliance, 20-24hrs as horde; as horde you'll play 24 hours, sleep 4hr and go again

This is not true at all for alliance anymore. Since the removal of the premade queue system on Nost, you don't have to wait 5 mins before getting a queue pop as a premade group. It is effectively making you gain from 2 to 3 more wins (depends on your efficiency) per hour. You will get around 7 wins each hour (taking a 8 min average game time) with the new system, while it was maximum 4-5 with the old queue system.

With the account sharing / br1 spot selling / wintrading premade being out of the equation, the br1 caps are now 50% lower of what they used to be on alliance. And that's in a system where farming honor is WAY easier.

With a consistent group and schedule you should be able to reach "high" amounts of honor matching br1 ones (being lower and lower since relaunch). It's way closer to 10-12 hours. You'll cap by sunday. I'm pretty sure it's possible to go br1 by only doing 8 effective hours of BGs / day atm.

Of course this is causing an even lower br2 cap, which ends up creating an awful situation for the future rankers where you'll have way too many players needing/wanting a br1 spot compared to how many spots the bracket actually has. It's like trying to put 50 cows in a closed space designed for maximum 15. Expect a nice shitstorm of cap breaks, loose canons, mark bombing, total loss of trust in between rankers and whatnot soon.

It's a completely different story for horde though.

Instead of creating a new thread I thought I could ask my question here: Being rank 7 right now (Alliance); do you guys have any idea how much time I will need to play (roughly) next week and the week after in order to reach rank 10 ? 

The idea would be to climb 1 rank per week. 

I know there are a lot of factors that are to be considered, but I haven't really played since Nost shut down so I have absolutely no clue about the current state of the ladder.

You will not climb a rank per week soloqueuing.

My advice is just to play as long as you're not sick of it until you hit r10 (obvsly; the more you make / week, the faster it will get, you won't be bracket 1 by yourself).
