Guild Wars 2

The latest patch notes said that there were some improvements made to the matchmaking system. My experience today says otherwise. The first two matches i had today were awful. In the first match, 4 of my teammates went home….. all four of them. one of them was even afk at start, when he got back, he saw me all by my lonesome going mid and decided to go home with the other 3 -.- In the second one, I was 2v1ing at far the entire game and my team was two capped in a 4v3 the entire game. I don’t wanna sound self absorbed or anything but I know I shouldn’t be matched with these people

Hey, with the patch notes saying there have been improvements means improvements to the code and algorithms. X > Y if Z is met etc. You can read the code by searching GW2 wiki matchmaking algorithms.

I think the main problem for your stream of bad luck today is that there isn’t enough people actively playing PVP. Rather than never give you a match because there wasn’t 9 other people with similar match making ratings, it paired you with whoever was available.

I think a solution that would be great for everybody is encouraging more people to try out GW2 PvP, because it is great fun. I don’t know much about marketing games though.
