Guild Wars 2

Where? I see the same old listing of servers, but nothing about “A v B v C” match ups.

Related: Are there any plans for WvW leaderboards on a micro scale? Top players by World XP? Top players by other statistics?

I have the same question. I can’t find the matchups at all….

I don’t think the new matchups will get posted until Friday, when the new matches begin. The current leaderboard lists the current matchups (every group of 3 servers is a matchup).

It would be nice if the new matchups were listed before reset. It’s kinda hard to plan your attack when you have no idea who you’re going up against o.O

You’ll have some idea who you’re likely to get, and who you’re unlikely to get. Pick the half-dozen most likely opponents and make contingency plans for each of them.

An opponent you weren’t expecting to face is probably one who wasn’t expecting to face you. Whoever is better able to think on their feet and adapt will have an advantage.

I just want some one new to fight. In my server we have fought the same people for countless weeks now, i’m just hoping for a change.

This. I like the new matchup mechanics that they implemented, but there has to be a way to know who your opponents will be before reset. Arenanet has to implement this soon.

I seriously hope they are posted before the matches go live or at the very least let us know which borderland will be our home borderland before the match goes live.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

-Tier 8.

They cannot be posted before match end as they need the ranking change resulting from the match to be computed.

Usually there is a short break between the matches and so far the the ranking update was directly at match end. So some minutes you have to prepare.

-Tier 8.

I’ll make it easy for you. Here are the 6 most likely opponents for Henge of Denravi:

47.912876 Eredon Terrace
45.434209 Ferguson’s Crossing
26.552433 Northern Shiverpeaks
24.380791 Devona’s Rest
17.787939 Gate of Madness
12.269221 Sorrow’s Furnace

FC/ET is your most likely pair of opponents (27% probability). NSP/ET (8%), NSP/FC (7%), DR/ET (6%) and DR/FC (5%) are less likely. there’s a 3% chance you’ll get GoM/DR, GoM/NSP, GoM/FC, GoM/ET, or DR/NSP. all other pairs are 2% probability or lower.

Be glad you’re not on Vabbi in EU tier 9. They’re pretty much guaranteed to get Fissure of Woe as one of their opponents; the only question is who the other one will be (Blacktide, Arborstone or Whiteside Ridge are the most likely). But at least under the new system it’s a question — under the old system there would never be any question at all.

We just need the random roll of each server. With this random roll and the current score we can predict the next matchup as before. So, just do the random at the beginning of the matchup, published it through the API or the leaderboards and we could predict next matchup.

You could predict the likely outcome, true, but they can only publish the final results (ranking & matches) from the design of the page.

But I am not sure that I want the die roll published and the matches predicted before. It only opens up possibilities for “match-manipulation”.
