Guild Wars 2

There is a reason why people like me transfered to the lowest WvW Tier, to avoid the brainless Zergfests. But this week again we got a matchup with a server 10 ranks above us, where even now at this time a giant megablob -button-1-Train overruns everything.
This is one week of ruined fun for an entire server.
This game punishes smallscale roaming in wvw enough already but a unplayable week is to much..

The old system was very solid so why was it changed in the first place?
Because someone the internet complained about it? Seriously this is the internet, im pretty sure here are even people that complain about Pizza or Sex.

You might want to rephrase your last paragraph, because it totally destroys your argument.

I agree that sometimes the matchmaking system doesn’t make good choices, but it is an algorithm that I am sure they tweak as the system runs over time. Just like any computer AI, it is going to need tweaking to make it better in the long run.

I have to agree with this, The match ups started off TERRIBLY and continued to be TERRIBLE for a long time, but the last 2 weeks including this week they have been much more spot on in my opinion.

So why doesn’t ANET use a 1 up 1 down method to matchmaking? it gives clear winners of the week and losers of the week. The way it is now even if you “Win” the match depending on the rating of the servers you played against you can still lose ranking…so are the winners really winners? It also may give incentive for servers to Climb the ladder for concecutive wins.

I still feel like the matchup system needs more work. I really don’t think T1 and T6 servers should ever be matched with each other. A difference of one tier can be kind of exciting and fresh, but anything more than that feels a little bit broken.

Frankly, it’s still better than what we had going on before. At least now, our server gets a
rotation of enemies, as opposed to months straight of us/ET/SF or us/ET/Kain before that. Now, as for the current system, we could tweak the flex-range a bit. I’ll admit that crap like T1 with T6 or T8 with T5 is a definite issue.

As last week, less than 12 hours after reset, 50% of NA matches are heading for blowouts. At least its consistent.

Golf clap for Anet.

50%? We must be looking at different info… Sure t2 and t3 arent great, but other than that…?

I mean the only reason t7 is bad is because anvil rock is in it and they don’t wvw anymore, and the next closest ‘blowout’ is t5 but it far from GG just yet…

t4 and t7 certainly don’t look like they’ll be racing to down to the wire, but optimists’ll say it’s early days….
