Guild Wars 2

Would be nice to face a new opponent once or twice…

I have nothing against Desolation but think Gandara have fought them 6 or 7 weeks in a row now. Would be fun to face a new opponent.

Anet you should do something about your rankingsystem.

Best regards

Well, there is a possibility that a certain set of servers is consistently closest to each other in ranking and therefore consistently matched together even in a perfect ranking system. So it’s not so much a problem with the ranking system — because it can’t be solved by a perfect ranking system — but rather, theoretically, a problem with the matchmaking scheme (“match servers that are closest in ranking”). There are only so many servers to link and relink, and I think even in the space of two linkages, we’ve seen that there are some limitations to what can be done to shift the balance using server links as a tool.

Tournaments don’t tend to have this problem because they’re elimination, but that’s obviously completely out of the question for WvW. Round-robin style setups, as used in some tournaments’ preliminary rounds, might work to keep things fresh by giving everyone new matchups, but people might complain about being in “unfair” matchups where one or more of the competitors are much stronger than the rest (and where most tournament things last for a couple hours at most, a WvW matchup lasts for a whole week, which allows time for the ever-discontent masses to seethe and brew in their displeasure).

So the final question is: what is the balance to strike between “try to keep things fresh” and “try to match servers to opponents of equal rank”?

That’s not an Anet issue, and people need to stop asking for solutions to that. Would it be fun for you to be popped down a tier just to see new servers?

Most servers aim at moving up. Be happy you have the population to be in Tier 1, and suck it up. NA Tier 1 had the same servers for well over a year and most people I know were fine with it. I never got bored (still not bored) and the fights are awesome.

I’d rather have cohesive servers and good fights than a switcharoo “just because.”

in the last time they donw WvW so complicated that not even the old players dont understand what is going with WvW anymore….when we have a big tick when is red when is green when is with time when is with no time and the Balance in WvW is a crap like always now imagine if i make about 50 free acocounts free and i lvl to 20go to wvw on enemy border with multiple open system and i make a queue for enemy border….. we lose all the match in last 10 that we have but we go up….anyone understand anything i ask on comunity…no one know nothing all the time we are vs german server wich they use same tactics . WvW balance is a crap no one know if is better to defend or to make a karma train. just group up all server until we have a queue evry day is a queue only on reset after reset is like nooo one on server…we play vs french guilds they have night crew we play vs germans they blob what we do hooold the north camp. 20 servers and is action only on reset .
