Guild Wars 2

Can we all just take a second to appretiaite the work Devon did today to get the system working quick and the changes that were promised made, ignore whether or not this change will be good or bad but that Devon put in a lot of hard work to fix the errors and to make a change for the ever increasing stale matchups…here’s to hoping the change worked as planned and thank you Devon!

Yep, even with the little hickup, thanks Devon!

I agree.We appreciate the work, Devon.

Ehm… desolation is still fighting seaferer’s and kodash right now..

But it’s not working yet. Elona is still fighting against Vizu and Jade…

By “the work of many other folks” he means the intern in charge of WvW coding.

Gunnars against Piken and Riverside, this must be bugged :S

According to our ranking list Devon, Aurora glade should be against Ruins of Surmia and Blacktide, Yet we are against Millers Sound and Drakkar Lake.
Will there be another reset to change it to your intended list or is this the final matchup?

What about the others that are working hard

Hello Moderators, Devon or Responisble Persons,

in the t1 matchup are currently Jade/Vizu/Elona fighting, there’s no point tick and the guildtags don’t match at all. Will there be some more changes? will this be fixed?

thx @

well who ever Anet decided to hire for this wonder where they got the exam from because the codding is totally wicked up.

everytime they make a new cool patch you get dc and many errors trying to relog so please fix your problems lol and how come there are 5 servers in one matchup?

I would love to take the credit but it was really the work of many other folks to get this live.

But you’re the person charged with communicating that work to the community, so by definition, you get all the credit!

still bief, jade sea, vizunah matchup

Wow. Congratulating someone for doing their job? I wish I got a standing ovation too whenever I did something I was SUPPOSED to do at my job…

Keep the good work up! It didn’t work as planned but I ahd hella fun!
Thanks for the evening. Waiting for the new matchup!

Do you also have 1000 know-it-alls telling you how to do your job? Give the devs a break.

It’s hell, Devon. Thanks for working hard to push it out on time, but it’s awful. You matched our t7 server against two from t3. This will get guilds transferring all over the place and ruining the ladder system all over again. Bad Arenanet! BAD!

“Here’s the raw data version of the new matchup as well as an image of the matchups.
Matchup Green Blue Red
1 Vizunah Square Seafarer’s Rest Elona Reach
2 Baruch Bay Kodash Jade Sea
3 Riverside Abaddon’s Mouth Desolation
4 Piken Square Augury Rock Fort Ranik
5 Underworld Far Shiverpeaks Gandara
6 Gunnar’s Hold Drakkar Lake Miller’s Sound
7 Ruins of Surmia Aurora Glade Blacktide
8 Arborstone Dzagonur Ring of Fire
9 Whiteside Ridge Fissure of Woe Vabbi”

Huh? Actually, in game Gunnars is against Piken and Riverside, and it’s slaughter.

I was worried about it before, but now I see it directly: even if it’s just bug, we actually had a chance to meet those servers. Why? Tiers are so tightly balanced, one tier up or down is already not fun, so how is ANY random system supposed to work?

After the new reset, we (FSP) were matched up with UW and Gandara. At least it seemed so. All of a sudden I saw people from Arborstone running around… now it’s FSP, Arborstone and Gandara. o.o

Lol… if the guilds transfer after one bad match up you’re probably better off without them… also, it’ll take a while to stabilize so just enjoy the week and learn from the larger server’s tactics like we will if we get paired against a larger server. It’s not a big deal or the end of the world… at least it’s diversity instead of the same stale match ups.

This is a ridiculous statement. How can we learn from their One-Big-Zerg tactics with fewer players?

Back on topic, like a soldier who comes home from a war we didn’t agree with; we should still thank Devon and his team for their hard work.

Whether or not you agree with the system, and I’m not sure I do; you can appreciate they are making changes and seeing what works and what does not. I have no doubt that they can reverse the changes if this becomes a disaster….you made a backup, right Devon? LOL

You guys are doing great with the game! Updates may be slow at time and controversial, but at the same time, its not static, and is good, Good Job developers!!

I applaud any effort to make wvwvw better, however, please make sure next week we wont see an abomination such as GH T7 vs Riverside (T4) vs Piken (T3)

Reset just happened and we currently have 7 supply camps left to defend on all 4 maps and 3 towers. No doubt those 3towers will be gone by the time I’ve typed this little wall of text.

thank you very much kind sir

Considering there were 3 resets (Augury Rock vs Piken Square vs Baruch Bay, Augury vs Baruch vs Fort Ranik, and Augury vs Baruch vs Abbaddon’s Mouth), and in the end result one server is getting horribly stomped by 2 servers… I don’t think I’m impressed :p
