WhiteWolf Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 After seven years of trying, only to get the Participant medal, I finally got to Rank 1 in the Altador Cup!! I doubt I'll make rank 2 this year, but just accomplishing rank 1 is huge for me! .Brianna., LillytheGrundo, jennybean and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelley Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 awesome, you go! :D I participated in the AC once before this year and only played one game haha. So I'm happy to get into the game more this round. make sure you pick up your avatar :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nubisbully Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Yay! I just made it to rank 1 as well and was super stoked. Congrats! It's definitely a lot harder than it seems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leverhelven Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Congratulations! Ranking up can be a pain, and sooo repetitive, but it's always nice to have a trophy instead of that participation medal on our lookup! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lia Seeya Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Congratulations! It feels like you have to play so many games just to get to Rank 1, so kudos! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I'm happy to get into the game more this round. make sure you pick up your avatar :)Where or when do I get the avatar? Is it at the end of the AC tourney? Yeah, ranking up is a real pain. I found a way to make it easier though. If you use TNT's Altador Cup calculator, you can figure out howm many games you need. Divide that by the remaining days of the tourney, and it becomes a little more manageable. Congratulations! It feels like you have to play so many games just to get to Rank 1, so kudos! :)Thanks! I tend to stick to one or two games I'm really good at, and play them constantly to rank up. It's a pain sometimes. I mean pain as in take a couple aspirin, and get back in there. I'm really hoping to get a good prize this year. Has anyone heard anything about the prizes this year?

kitkatlw Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 I'm almost rank 3! HA. I have never been great with the AC. I'm always just the participant, but since I am trying to rebuild my account... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minniemeggie Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Congrats! I really wanted to get involved in the AC this year but I GOT SO BORED SO QUICKLY. I'm only a rank 2 :< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitkatlw Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Congrats! I really wanted to get involved in the AC this year but I GOT SO BORED SO QUICKLY. I'm only a rank 2 :< That is exactly how I feel. By the time i finish two games of YYB, I'm ready to retire from the fields for life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelperk Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 It's been hard for me to stay interested too but I'm at Rank 6 somehow. I think YYB can get me hooked sometimes but I don't think I've played it at all this week. LULZ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitkatlw Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 My issue with YYB is that the controls/ game play is super janky. I always manage to win, but only because the bots are... not smart aha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sabs Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Congratulations! :D It takes a lot of will power and determination to play these games over and over! I'm suffering trying to make it to All Star, but I'm still going. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelley Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Where or when do I get the avatar? Is it at the end of the AC tourney? nope after you reach level one, go to the AC games page and play any game and you'll be awarded the avatar, you probably already have it, double check! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteWolf Posted June 21, 2014 Author Share Posted June 21, 2014 Thanks to Shelley, I got my avatar. Now there's only one question that's still bugging me. If I am Rank 1 at the end of this year's Altador Cup, does that rank roll over to next year's AC, or do I have to start all over again?

kitkatlw Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 I believe you have to start all over, because some people will switch teams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone ends up starting off at Beginner again, as far as I've seen from everyone posting about their rank. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maypls Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Congrats! This is my first year not just getting the Participant medal too :) I managed to grind my way to Rank 2 today and I'm going to try to make it as far as I can until the cup ends! It's such a pain right now, but I just console myself by reminding that it only comes once a year, haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteWolf Posted June 23, 2014 Author Share Posted June 23, 2014 I have to start over next year? First, request permission to scream. Second, what if I don't switch teams? Do I keep my rank then? *wanders off to find the aspirin for the incoming migraine* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritzie Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Regardless of switching teams or not, you have to start over with ranking. This is really a sporting event, so it starts fresh with each year/season, the way each sport does. Nothing will carry over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteWolf Posted June 23, 2014 Author Share Posted June 23, 2014 Thanks, Spritzie! That will give me time to plot, er plan, how to get to the All-Star rank next year. At least I broke out of the Beginner rank this year. Maybe I can still get rank 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
passiflora Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Congratulations! I usually only manage to squeak out Rank 1 each year (this year finally being the exception). It's a lot of playing just for the lower ranks; I don't know how the all-star players do it! Even with Rank 1 you can still get enough points to score some decent prizes at the prize shop, like a book and a few wearables. Plus a nice new trophy for your user lookup! Yay! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteWolf Posted June 27, 2014 Author Share Posted June 27, 2014 Update: I actually managed to get to Rank 2! I'm hoping I have enough points to get some great prizes this year. No participant medal for me this year! A trophy would make me very happy. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
