Guild Wars 2

Seems like match making is being tested, even though Anet didn’t say anything about it.
I am pretty sure all top teams noticed it. Anyways, the matchmaking at the moment is pretty good apart from facing the same team 3 times in a row. Maybe change it so that you can only face the same team after playing 3 other teams like guild wars 1?
It is really not fun facing the same team 8 times out of 12 games just because they have similar skill level…

Even though the queue for paid is longer now [1-2 minutes ] most top teams are actually having fun now since we are not facing random rank 30 pugs…

I don’t have any proof of this but most top teams are talking about it…

Anyways anyone knows if the matchmaking is based on glory rank or qps or other factors? i have played 35 paids today, haven’t faced a single team who has a player lower than rank 40…

What i have noticed, is that teams tend to face the same team over and over. I was doing some tournies and we ended up getting people much lower than us 4 times in a row.
If indeed this is matchmaking, its in need of some work.

lol matchmaking

u getting the same ppl queing everytime

lmao

and well no duh you get the same people think about it….

This is what im saying. getting the same team over and over is hardly indicative of match making. A large sample size of observations from alot of people though might be able to decode whether or not this is true.

I won’t say I do as many paids as others, but I’ve done a handful this week, and I think this is wishful thinking.

5min queue and gettin the same team is not random it is an hidden mmr so dont say stuff if u are not sure about it.
also if it takes too long it put u up against really bad team so thats kinda obvious..

Every single Paids used to pop up instantly 2 days ago. so I believe they started testing it yesterday. You are clearly a terrible player since you get bad people. The point i am making is not that you face the same team over and over again, what i meant is that you only face good teams [ if you have high rank/ QPs ], and there are only few good teams left in the game, so you only face these teams. Like I said it seems that only good players are noticing it due to the longer paid queue and the teams we are facing, jexster just proved me right. It is clearly a hidden Matchmaking.

If matchmaking was being tested, it would likely be based on this weeks w/l ratio and internal rating over qp or glory; currencies which rely have no correlation to skill level. It will be interesting to see if matchmaking is implemented successfully, perhaps all the higher skill level players will come back and the future “top teams” will be people at individual ranks around 15 to 20 stomping on all these r50s that think they are good because they have remained on the glory/qp treadmills this entire time. lol.

GW1 mm with 1-12-2+3-3 etc was perfect.
This gw1 mm seems bad, you face always similar skilled people and if no similar people are queing you are forced to wait 5/10/20 mins to get similar skilled players coming to play.

At the moment this kind of mm is not so good, improve it.

I approve this, yesterday we met only good teams in evening starting from good pugs to team crs, so i definitely think there is some hidden matchmaking. Tho we didn’t meet a single team than 2x in a row.

I confirm this.
Last night..we were facing same teams over and over again
We did approximately 10-15 paids,
out of the 15….13 of them were rematches…
so yeah..
Ninja mmr is tested

dont think so theere was no patch and they wouldn’t keep it secret. what is happening is all the bad teams are tired of getting rolled or out of tickets, hence longer queues and better competition.

you are wrong. everyone should have at least 10 tickets because of the monthly achievement. So if there was a time where Paids will pop instantly it would have been yesterday. you have no idea what you are talking about.

pvp community is tiny bro and most casuals can’t finish monthly anymore because they dont bother with tournaments. and like I said many casuals do have tickets but just got bored of getting stomped so they are back to hot join since free tournament doesnt pop outside of primetime since patch.

if they added mmr they would want feedback not secretly patch it lol. use your brain

Probably this. Personnaly, i did some paids and i got tired facing the same r45+ over and over( note : more likely because they were running builds such as 3 ele + guardian than because they were r45+).

However, free tournaments are almost not popping anymore except on evening, so i don’t have a lot of choice. It’s not matchmaking, it’s simply the lack of activity …

We can also take into account that we just passed Pay Day and the start of the weekend. For some its easier to play during week nights ‘cause noone does anything. While the weekends are nights to hang out n chill. I’m just one person and I know over a dozen people who put GW2 to the side during thur/fri nights for social activities.
I’ve been paired against r9s, r45s, The Magumbo Tribe (best fight ever), PZ, TP, Tpvp, Pro, and random new guys grouped just for the copper chest. I doubt there’s a matchmaking system. As a few have said already, there was no patch for it. Besides, Anet knows it can keep us around longer if they announce it rather than making us think its never coming.

But on top of that we DID play a lot of the same ranks later last night. I’m just saying its a little fishy and seems like it is being tested…

I dunno. Based on the fact Anet hasn’t closed this…something’s up

From my experience I can tell the difference – some kind of matchmaking was being tested yesterday (havent played today yet, maybe it still is). Like 90% of my paids were against enemies with same rank as our pug team had. And we never faced same team twice.

Another step in the right direction. <3

I played more than 30 Paids when the matchmaking hit live. Our Group met 5 different teams. We played for more than 8hours.
I read something funny yesterday which made me smile, it was on mapchat:" r11 131QP LFG" → Good job anet

Well, without a question it’s just stupid, but they have to get rid of these QP anyway…
I think a lot of tpvp teams are waiting for the “real” pvp patch, to decide if they play this game any longer or just quit for a few month.

Matchmaking is definitely live, and last 2 days i had more fun in this game then ever before.

Take this afternoon for example.

8 matches, ALL against people of similar “skill level”, 5 decided by less than 100 points. Intense and fun.

Way to go, ANet, i hope mm is here to stay, its what this game definitely needed.

I haven’t gotten roflstomped this weekend, so maybe it is live. Had an amazing game last night that ended 496-500 with us barely squeaking it out at the end. THIS is why I hope matchmaking is working, I want more games like that.
