Guild Wars 2

Crowd sourcing can often reap great insights.

If, for example, we could download an extract of the data for all the matches since the patch (without names, of course), perhaps those of us with analytical and software/database skills could find something in there that would be helpful in understanding what’s happening.

It would be a groundbreaking move to export the data in a CSV file or something.

You’re talking about the statistics of every single player in every single game they’ve been in and with who, which map is being chosen the most, the least, average que times, including large amounts of >random statistics here<.
Their are gigs and gigs of data that probably can’t be easily exported. Not only that but I don’t want people to look up my account’s pvp stat information for whatever the reason…

No.

Saiyan,

As I said, no user names or account information. It’s irrelevant anyway.

And we would not need to see all the gigabytes of stuff you mentioned.

I was talking about a data extract of match results and some factors about the players in the match.

No need to worry.

This is definitely something we’re interested in doing with the new system. I’m imagining something liked dotabuff where you can see each match, score, duration, profession makeup, builds, etc.

Not sure if I am reading all this wrong but I think you are talking about 2 completely different things. I believe Evan is talking about adding in something to game that allows us to look back on recent matches and see the scores, personal stats…etc.. (Which would be EPIC).

I believe OP wants the total data from all matches (Including excessive data) released to the public so they can help fix the matchmaking system. So a 500-0 game…what resulted in that being a" legitimate" matchup and how can “what went wrong” be fixed.

Maybe I am all backwards on this whole post lol.

I am super interested in leaderboards per profession. Top Ele, Top Ranger etc. Also a Top all-around player leaderboard for multi-classers.

GhOst, you are right.

I was talking about using more eyes (and maybe data analysis in spreadsheets) to see patterns and reveal odd anomalies that might help improve the matchmaking settings.
