Guild Wars 2

I play EOTM sometimes when EB is full or dead. It seems that the Green side always has more players. Our server recently got stuck on a green map and like 100% of the time I would join a EOTM with lots of people. Now we are back to blue and I would say 95-100% of the time I get a map where we are outnumbered. If I get in right after the match resets we seem to have plenty of players. I am not sure if red is ever outnumbered since our server has never been red.

I was thinking EOTM should assign where players go in some sort of organized order and do away with color based sorting. This would help keep the servers somewhat equal. Perhaps the server could send players in order like one to red, next to blue, then green. I know partys and guilds would mess the numbers up but they could do something like this. If a party of 5 go into green the server should send the next 10 ppl to the red and blue.

Any other ideas?

Its because of the seasons, where the green side have the winning (thus with more population) servers… Once the Seasons end, the RNG-based matchups should bring some balance to EotM (As not every winning server will be green).

And yes, red get quite a fair share of the outnumbered buff. I’ve been red for 7 weeks since the season started (and 1 blue).

I think as a solution, Anet needs to set up some sort of queue for EOTM overflows so that if/when you enter EOTM and it’s as dead as a dodo on your side, you’re outnumbered and the enemy is just flipping all of your stuff, you at least have a backup option to enter a queue to eventually get into an EOTM overflow with a lot more people.

I’ve found myself entering EOTM many times where the enemy is just flipping all your stuff, and there’s only 5 other allies around – and there isn’t much you can do about it. The only solution is to wait it out till the reset and get into the next round ASAP so that you have a fighting chance or a decent EOTM session. It’s annoying and Anet needs to do something about it, especially for players who prefer EOTM than normal WvW.

Took the guild into EOTM last night with about 20 of us we had a blast. We were blue and didn’t have huge numbers but Green didn’t roll over us at all.

Organizated guild groups rolling over upleveled pug zergs isn’t impressive anymore for a long time friend… You’re not the first, and you won’t be the last…

The season broke the spread of population across different colours. Been blue since even before the season started. And for the past 9 weeks Green has been rofl-stomping everything.
I have yet to repair my gear in 9 weeks, because we are chronically outnumbered. Only for a short while before a match ends do we sometimes lose outnumbered. And random odd moments that last all but 2min at most.
I also havent seen anyone other then Overgrowth win a match for almost 10 weeks in a row now.

Such a massive disapointment that matchmaking in EotM was even more broken. And what few people play EotM as Blue then get spread out across the multitude of overflows made to accomodate the droves of Green.
So we dont even get a decent matchup on any map at all, outnumbered in every overflow, little more then sacrificial lambs for the fun of another.

Jeknar There is no intent to impress only saying we had fun. It is also a simple example of organization has a place in EOTM just as in WvW. If you can’t accomplish something alone then make friends and coordinate. We were derided for kicking puppies last night because we did defense. That was almost as fun as stalling the keep assaults themselves. As a guild we have gone in EOTM twice since its release. The first time was mess as the total lack of cross server communication and familiarity sucked. Last night we worked together with our own force and had some good times. It wasn’t epic. We aren’t some vanguard of amazing skill just had fun without getting face rolled by larger numbers. We are used to playing as underdogs so no big change.
