Guild Wars 2

I remember there was a random roll on servers a long time ago. I thought they got rid of that. When did they re-implement the random roll for server match-ups?

There has been a random factor i the Glicko match-up calculations for years now, don’t recall exactly how long ago. They never took it away, it is just that T1 managed to lock itself so high in glicko that even the randomizer couldn’t reach that far.

Now YB managed to get high enough Glicko rating to be inside the range of the randomizer. That is all there is to it.

I just popped some popcorn can you spare a little salt?

rng was brought into the game some 2 years ago i think

didn’t they actually tweak the RNG to a narrower range? I wonder if this is what the op was thinking about…..

It was tweaked 2-2.5 years ago from 150 glicko to 100 glicko. Might’ve been even longer ago. It wasn’t too long after the matchup was changed from being 1up/1down based on 1st place and 3rd place.

Yea was trying to say maybe that was when RNG was changed, op thought it went away entirely. Thank you for the numbers though, I know it is 100 + some weird thing Snowreap described now. I did not know what the wider range was previously……
