Guild Wars 2

Where I live, it’s been red for at least 3 weeks. I could use some green. What impacts what color you are, and therefore where you are placed?

Green is the favorite.. so you will actually have to win some Match-Ups to get the color.

Not always apparently since we were blue and despite finishing last for 2 weeks we ended-up being green this week. But yeah, usually it’s like you said.

Thanks. That’s a bummer, I thought they had just rotated colors like everything else. I have two characters who need some green.

Sweet, so we might get a ‘courtesy’ green from time to time, even if we aren’t so good?

In the old system, the highest ranked server in a tier was green, the middle was blue, and lowest was red. Servers were ranked by their rating. This was changed so that every server is given a temporary randomized matchup rating based on their actual one. So this week, Maguuma rolled a higher rating than Sea of Sorrows and Fort Aspenwood which allowed them to be green even though they should be red due their rank.

I thought something like that happened with the change in the match up system, but wasn’t sure. I guess being red 3+ weeks is ‘largely’ do to how ‘not well’ we’re doing, but we should still have a chance to be green some times? I seem to recall being blue about a month ago.

If your server is ranked 3, 6, 9, etc., you will be red more often than not. If you want your server to be consistently green, you will either have to go up two ranks or drop one.

Thanks. Mostly, I’d just like to be green soon once.

How do you tell your ranking?
