wait, what? i thought they changed it in BfA season 1 so that you can now get vicious mounts in 2’s as well? source on not being able to get mount in 2’s?

just to confirm, you are combatant in 2’s, and you also won those games in 2’s? then i don’t know what is wrong. might be worth opening a ticket.

if you got the wins in 3’s or RBG then you would also need combatant rank in 3’s or RBG for it to count.

also, i thought it was 1500 rank you needed to have before wins counted? not sure and cant check as sub has run out.

Hmm, now im even more confused, so can it be done in 2’s or not, 2’s is what i was doing it in. spent like 3 hours reaching combatant and if its only 3’s then i wasted my time…

6

it can be done in 2v2 but you need way more then just 4 games for it to go up.

7

but that makes no sense… the requirement is to be combatant and win games, i did exactly that, wining roughly 4-6 games while maintaining that level. yet nothing?

if there is some secret hidden rng to this then that is just complete BS.

8

yes you did 4-6 games at that rating but you need to do more, its a carrot on a stick to keep you playing.

yeah so how many do you need to do to earn 1% ??? i thought 1 win = 1% if not then this is 10x harder now to earn a mount than when i did it back in legion, you only had to win 100 games, didn’t matter what rating you was and it also didn’t have to keep yourself above a rating level. why make it harder for no reason…

10

i can only speak for RBG, and for BfA season 1. it took 2 RBG wins to get 5%, so 2.5% per win (but it shows up as 2 or 3% per win on your bar).
while talking in one of the RBG groups, discussion came up about how much % came from arena, and everyone agreed it was 1% per win. ie. 100 wins, but you have to remain over the required rank.

while they may all be wrong, that was the common consensus, and would make sense. having to win 400-500 2’s wins WHILE maintaining rank, would be COMPLETE bs. also. RNG can not be part of the bar. a win gives you a set %, whatever that % is. (though, with blizz putting RNG everywhere, i would not be surprised!!!)

but i agree with what you said. it should be 100 arena wins, or 40 RBG wins at ANY rating. you win about 20 matches or whatever just to get the rank so its at least 20% harder than in legion. AND ACTUALLY HARDER, as you HAVE to keep the rank! if you have a bad streak and go under required rank, the wins you get while getting back to rank WONT count to the % bar.

its total BS. but at least we can get viscious saddles again. ALTHOUGH, we have to do the same BS of staying above rank.

any arena pvpers can say what % they are getting for 2’s wins?

blizz’s idea of content. look at portals fiasco. and it really is for no reason. legion and wod (cata and mop too? cant remember) only needed 100 wins. no rank.

11

well… i feel like i cant even be bothered now, i didn’t do season 1 because i didn’t like that Mount but i really wanted this seasons mount but it just seems to crap to even bother with, i did put in a ticket though just to see what they have to say about % wins.

12

Just do the format blizzard officially balances the game around.

13

format? what do you mean.

14

you can do it in any pvp bracket but you have to be at a certain rating i think its 1400 +? and as far as im aware 3 vs 3’s is faster to farm it out than it is in 2’s.

15

ok did some looking on wowhead. basically:
The mounts require a total of 2400 points. 2v2 wins give 10 points (0.33%)(240 wins), 3v3 wins give 30 points (1%)(80 wins) and rbg wins give 60 points (2%)(40 wins).

although this confuses me as i KNOW first hand, 2 RBG wins gave you 5% in BfA season 1. but seems 3’s really is the most time efficient way to get saddles.

4 wins should have given you 1.33%. your bar should not be empty.

Hue Hue Hue… no lol. I’ve only ever done 2vs2 on my main and I’m already at 14%

false information screws things up for everyone. OP was going to give up because of your “advice”.

dont say things in future without references or evidence. you are wrong and should edit or remove your comment so it don’t mislead anyone else.

Okay seems weird to me, duno why it can’t just be 1%per win in 2’s, but nvm, thanks for the info i might get started on 3’s instead because it seems like it could be the quickest overall!
Thanks for your help, seemed to clear things up :slight_smile:

np, still seems to be an issue cause you should show as 1% (1.33%).

but yeah, 3’s should take 1/3 of the time.

really sucks for 2’s players. i also thought a win was 1%. 240 wins is a major timesink, cause the average 50-50 player (like me) would have to play 480 games maybe :frowning:
