Guild Wars 2

I’ve played over 3100 pvp matches… and just got my first draw… both reached 500. Sadly the other team d/c before i could ask if they got reward – Such a rare occurance! Anyone else had a Tie match?

If I’m not mistaken the win goes to the player with highest points earned.

i believe red won because higher combined personal scores

In the event of a tie, the winner is decided by the team with that scored more Personal Points (Its the only time Personal Score is used to determine anything in a PvP match, ignore it all other times)

Correct^^. It is never a draw. At that point the team with the highest total personal scores takes the win. It will be displayed on screen as normal (“X Team Wins!”).

Interesting question.

The team with the higher summed up personal score get it accounted for a win, but how does the ladder-point distribution work?

If we would consider the table from http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/PvP_Matchmaking_Algorithm

<Ladder default=“0” min=“0” max=“1000000” leaderboard-points=“1”>

<Matrix odds=“0.0”>
<Score min=“0” points=“-1”/>
<Score min=“200” points=“0”/>
<Score min=“300” points=“1”/>
<Score min=“400” points=“2”/>
<Score min=“500” points=“3”/>
</Matrix>

<Matrix odds=“0.2”>
<Score min=“0” points=“-1”/>
<Score min=“300” points=“0”/>
<Score min=“400” points=“1”/>
<Score min=“500” points=“2”/>
</Matrix>

<Matrix odds=“0.4”>
<Score min=“0” points=“-1”/>
<Score min=“400” points=“0”/>
<Score min=“500” points=“1”/>
</Matrix>

<Matrix odds=“0.6”>
<Score min=“0” points=“-2”/>
<Score min=“300” points=“-1”/>
<Score min=“400” points=“0”/>
<Score min=“500” points=“1”/>
</Matrix>

<Matrix odds=“0.8”>
<Score min=“0” points=“-3”/>
<Score min=“200” points=“-2”/>
<Score min=“300” points=“-1”/>
<Score min=“400” points=“0”/>
<Score min=“500” points=“1”/>
</Matrix>
</Ladder>

the teams get points regardless who won, but it depends on the your point at the end of the match. Therefore both teams would get at least 1 point.

your guild chat creeps me out.

Correct. They get points according to the ratio and the final points “500”. It will count as a loss for 1 team and +? points. Winning team gets a win with +? points. You can get + pts in many instances from loosing without even scoring 500 pts. Why would it be any different…..

Thanks! As i said, this is approx 1 in a 3000 chance of happening, so wasn’t sure why my team won! (p.s. to see how close it is, notice several of my team were downed… was an epic match!)

Ranking pts is something i’d not even considered!
