Guild Wars 2

Hey,

here’s a simple way to improve the game greatly.
Match making should be like old Heroes’ Ascent in gw1,
The players grouped up based on a lvl of experience.
Frustration is the biggest problem in Tpvp atm. For example, u might have played a few thousand games and be grouped up with someone with only 4 games, this is completely off. I say make if fun for all; group players with similar experience together, and that’s it.
thanks,
good day

The problem with this is that the queue times would go through the roof.
The system would have to find 4 other players of the same skill level, with none of them being duplicated classes and then have to match you against 5 other players of the same skill level with no duplicated classes.

given 10 are in Q , put the 5 with the most experience together.
given 100 in Q take top 5 and put them in q together vs next bracket.. and so on.
wins and loss prediction should take care of the rest ( leaderboards) .
goal = reduce frustration

So in this situation you would match the 5 most experienced players against the 5 least experienced players, resulting in a complete steamroll of the less experienced team? This is no fun for either team.

If the Q has 10 players.
Yes, out of the top 10 the top 5 would be in a team and the next 5 best players would follow.

I think it would be far more effective to take brackets of 10 and randomly assign that 10 to two teams. That way it is not the ‘best’ 5 vs the ‘worst’ 5 but rather a mix of the two. Within that 10 person bracket I doubt that the difference in skill would be that great. The problem is that if they aren’t enough people in the queue then there is nothing any system can really do about that

If only 10 in Q then top 5 in one team vs next 5 in another. If say 100 players in Q at a given time then top 10 would be totally fine as 2 random teams, most the time, vs each other. Keep in mind a top 10 player should by no means be on the same team as a bottom 10 player, that’s the point of this whole post. The implementation would be a bit more complicated , this is just a general argument
- in all ways possible you should be teamed with players of similar skill
- goal is to reduce frustration
thanks
