Q:

I was under the impression that maps rotated at a minimum every 2 weeks or rather that the servers rotated which maps they called home. This is the third week in which my server is on the same map, while the other two servers swapped which maps they called home.

How does map rotation work? Is it based on color, random, or something else? DOes it only happen every 2 weeks or can if happen in 1 week?

Ty for your time!

A:

Which borderlands as well as which fortress on EB you get is fixed with the color yes.

It may be pretty dumb from a map-exploration point of view. But it is good from a match-balancing point of view. (green is the most difficult position and red the easiest.)

The first (highest ranking at match-start) in a match is green,
the 2nd is blue, the third is red. New matches start every Sat 1am CET.
If you always have the same place you always get the same color.

for your current and expected next place.

So which map each server gets is based off color/place? ex) green on left, red in middle. and blue on right?

If so that’s pretty dumb…some servers will be on same maps for extended periods of time.
