charrboiledeggs.8164 Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 I recently transferred and was wondering if I can still get the wvw mount and reward track completion. I know we dont get wxp for like 2 weeks but does this affect the reward track? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borgs.6103 Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Transferring only affects gaining pips so yeah. You also still gain wxp, btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 It's Pips you can not earn, not WXP, as far as I know..Note that you will be unable to earn pips in WvW until two WvW resets have occurred following your transfer. https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/World#Transferring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loosmaster.8263 Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Also transferring this early in a match up, you can expect 2 more match ups with no pips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaGranse.8652 Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 I would like to point out that you need to spend a few skirmish tickets to complete the collection. These tickets are earned from pips so if you did not have the needed amount before transfer your might not be able to get the mount.The items you collect for the mount collection can be consumed to get 5 skirmish tickets. Maybe anet thought about the above scenario and you can get enough tickets this way to get the mount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe anet thought about the above scenario and you can get enough tickets this way to get the mount.Even then the OP (and anyone else who transfers servers) will be able to get the mount, it will just take longer.The mount is a permanent addition to the game and there's no time limit to get it, so even if you need to wait for the transfer cool-down period to expire you'll still be able to unlock it eventually.

Generosity.3794 Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 This is an incredible penalty for someone who has only ever transferred once. I transferred so that my guild could introduce me to WvW and what to do, after grinding for days and finally completing my gift of battle track and my warclaw track I discover that I can’t get the mount for another 10 days?!? Why would they design the mount process to need something I’m not allowed to get? Why wasn’t this mentioned anywhere? It took me a lot of googling to even figure out the problem. There isn’t any mention of this when you transfer.Thanks for nothing Anet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was initially instituted to prevent frequent transfers, and bandwagoning which impacts the matchup system with links.That being said, it’s has not been a significant enough deterrent. People have advocated for a harsher penalty.It’s also why some of us want alliances and the removal of the link process. That way, if you wanted to play with certain guilds, it would be a guaranteed (mostly) change at the next matchup period (currently two months at most) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s two resets.So: let’s use Wednesday of a week:Transfer on Wednesday. No pips for wednesday through the reset Friday. Then no pips until the following Friday’s reset. So, 1 full matchup week, and two days of the first matchup week.Not two full matchups.Best day to transfer is the Friday before WvW reset. It amounts to the least amount of days without PiPs.

kenny.7236 Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Waiting for this coming reset as I am just short of 5 skirmish tickets to get the warclaw mount. I believe I transferred on last Thu or Fri before reset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
